#RealConversation selling my car:
Me: someone's offered the asking price
Them: are they #foreign?
Me:
Me: I don't understand what that has to do with anything
Them: well, the #EastEuropeans...
Me: that's prejudiced
Them: no, it's not
Me: assuming something about someone just because of where they're from is #prejudice
Them: I'm not prejudiced, my wife's from #Poland
Me: that doesn't make any difference, it's still prejudice
Them: okay, *some* of them, because they're all...
Me: no
Every time I poke my nose back into Twitter I’m surprised at school-yard insults as “normal conversation”.
The #Thunberg #Tate #Twitter spat is a great example. No real conversation or information, simply #namecalling #oneupmanship. This gets more attention than nearly every other Tweet ever.
Silly humans are playing #CaptureTheFlag on #socialmedia.
#RealConversation is important.
"You need to pick up a switch and a can of snow"
"Say what?"
"A lightswitch, to replace the one in our bedroom because it no longer works, and a can of snow."
"A can of snow?"
"What aren't you understanding?
That spray can of fake snow so I can highlight the Christmas wreath"
"Oh"
Quasi #RealConversation:
@thetangles - We've got a new staffer!
@mdmrn - We're over our character limit for #FF on #Twitter.
TwwK - We may need to split up the Follow Friday post
MDMRN - Nope, #Battle Royale time among the staffers. Knock 'em off Twitter one by one until only 1 remains. They get the FF.
True story...totally.
Little MDMRN joined the #DnD club at school. So, I had the following #RealConversation with him:
Me: So, how's D&D Club?
LM: Good
Me: What kind of character did you end up making?
LM: A Dwarven fighter named Zoregon
Me: Oh cool
LM: Last name Trails
Me: ...
LM: ...
Me: Perfect

My classmate: I'm wondering if the past authors would know that their works might become "literature" taught at schools one day.
Professor: I read too much William Blake to answer this question.
