Do you spend 20 minutes expounding on HN articles to your friends and family without waiting for a response?
- sixstringtheory 6y agoAnyone doing that is just a bad conversationalist. I bring up stuff all the time that I read about on HN/Internet, but I do it to foster discussion and keep things interesting, not to lecture people. Conversely, I know people who will talk for 20 minutes or longer on end, despite clear signals that I'm no longer interested, to the point where they have to be firmly interrupted.
