Comment deleted because I don’t want to defend it
comment stuck in drafts
error commenting because I forgot I was banned
I usually type out paragraphs, but after re-reading it, I realize I should just delete it.
The trick is to realize you’re completely wasting your time earlier.
Step 2 is not giving into investment bias.
It’s called sunk cost bias! starts argument I won’t return to
4x or so in my case. Same thing, though.
Most of the time it boils down to “I can’t be arsed”. Stuff like:
- I’d need to rephrase it to still say what I think, without being impolite. I know that I’m an arsehole, but I’d rather not ruin someone else’s day if I don’t see a reason why.
- I’d be dealing with someone who’s clearly irrational and/or disingenuous.
- I realise that I’m taking into my own hands some matter that someone else is better prepared to. For example, explaining a subject that I’m not too certain about.
Do I really want to interact with people today just to be clever? Sometimes yes, often no.
you have more self control than I do
check my comment history. I’m rude as fuck lol. I own my instance though

“Oh, I have an opinion about this.”
“Wait, my opinion has already been covered across a few other comments. No one will care about another echo in the chamber, I’ll delete that and just upvote those other comments and move on”
