    I think I argue a lot irl. I am lurning however to identify faster if the person is not worth debating with.

    Unfortunately most people are have very strong priors, to put it mildly.

                Indeed. Also they may know other people that you know and cause problems for you that way... basically it tends to be not worth it. I rarely argue with folks in real life. Sometimes it happens and then you have the awkwardness of having to deal with them often... no ignoring a co-worker for instance, you'll see them in the hallways at some point or another.

                  Ben Kenobi is pretty much like that in real life too.

                      Most of my friends are old farts like me so they either agree with me already or they're not likely to change their opinion if they don't so it makes arguing kind of useless. (sound familiar?)
                      But yes, differences of opinion are voiced then ignored. (definition of friends)

                      But in a bar over a couple of drinks and let it fly. It rarely ends well.

                      Not like the old college days when all the secrets of the universe were discussed and solved in the late night ring of knowledge (often drug induced)

                          I don't argue much in real life. If people disagree with me on something of consequence, it probably means they are wrong, stupid, and not worth my attention or effort.
                          To us, it is the BEAST.

                            Being angry is a lot of work.

                                Horse story cause I'm bored. My girlfriend's sister owns horses. She just bought her third a couple days ago. When I was over at her sister's farm about a week and a half ago, she brought the two horses for me to see. The first thing they did was **** in unison.
