Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Hey OP. I try myself to make a positive out of this. I'm verbose online, and want to have discussions. But frequently I am... deeply ideological, and I am sharing strong opinions with little room for positive discourse. I've realized now, being non-toxic and careful about what I say doesn't make me less exhausting to talk to. I think maybe I just have to balance fun and approachable with moving a conversation along.
Even when I do the perfect thing - share links related to a topic people are excited about - they aren't interested in following those links. They are more casual, and I need to adjust.
