You're forced to stay at a dinner party with 3 others: 1 obsessed with talking about politics, another about religion and the last one a snobby vegan. Who do you spend the most time talking to, and why?
I'd talk to all three of them at the same time, like a slut
Politics, because I can actually hold a proper conservation.
Definitely the snobby vegan. The politics one I'm bound to disagree with on some things and that would irritate me. And if
I spoke my truth it would irritate him/her. The religion one I'm bound to disagree with on everything, so same only more so. Vegans, otoh, are the salt of the earth and they have the right to be snobby. ;)
The vegan, to educate him that extreme vegans are a danger to the movement. I am vegan myself so he will listen to my ass.
I think I would make the politics talker talk to the religious guy and soon they will fight while I listen to the snobby one and have all their drinks since they are immersed with other things.
I would happily take any one of them. It is one of my greatest hobbies to argue with people who have strong beliefs. Usually I start by asking harmless questions about what they believe and follow up on the answers with questions that get increasingly uncomfortable. I proceed doing this without even mentioning what my own stance is, just to see if they start being incoherent or inconsistent or ad hoc. (They always do). I keep doing this until they do not want to talk to me anymore and that is how I make new friends.
