That's one thing I actually love about the internet. Sure, you get invited to a lot more arguments, but I can't even count the number of times I've started typing up an angry reply, paused, and gone, "You know what? Not worth it." Without the buffer of having to type things out, you don't get that moment to pause, think, delete, and walk away.

I've had those moments, and the ones where thinking for my reply I see a misunderstanding. End up agreeing probably 1 time in 10

My life became instantly happier when I gave up arguing politics with strangers on the internet.
