"In fact, a 2001 Unicef report said that the United States teenage birthrate was higher than any other member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The U.S. tied Hungary for the most abortions. This was in spite of the fact that girls in the U.S. were not the most sexually active. Denmark held that title. But, its teenage birthrate was one-sixth of ours, and its teenage abortion rate was half of ours."

Caring for Your Introvert - http://www.theatlantic.com/doc...
How can I let the introvert in my life know that I support him and respect his choice? First, recognize that it's not a choice. It's not a lifestyle. It's an orientation. Second, when you see an introvert lost in thought, don't say "What's the matter?" or "Are you all right?" Third, don't say anything else, either.

just bring up something completely irrelevant to the topic & watch their expression.
- Zee.
It depends on the person. Sometimes it is better to laugh or just nod your head and smile. Other times you should explain to them why it's nonsense. Or my preferred response, "I don't know where to begin telling you what's wrong with your argument".

Most of the time people are just trying to get a rise out of you... they like arguing. There's nothing you can logically say, because logic isn't their motive for continuing the discussion.

Silence is the worst way to respond as I have found out recently!
- Joe Dawson
Politely argue your side of things. If the other person is emotional, explain that you would like to continue this conversation, but that you'd like to do so when (s)he's calmed down. Never lower yourself to that level.
- Vincent van Wylick
The internet answered this with "Don't feed the trolls". Otherwise, record it, put it on YouTube and see if the nonsense becomes a meme.
- Philipp Lenssen
I find it's helpful to figure out if your adversary need to be right or just needs to be heard and proceed accordingly.

- Igor Poltavskiy

- Charlie Anzman
I prefer "what color is the sky in your world"
- mike "glemak" dunn
The correct response is to ask a clarifying question that pinpoints the nonsense, e.g. "I don't want to argue with you without completely understanding what you're saying. Are you saying that the record company's infringement is in doubt because of what planet Chewbacca lives on?" Sometimes they'll recognize their own nonsense. Sometimes they'll help you see that it wasn't nonsense; you simply misunderstood them.

Would You Prefer Your Articles To Be Dugg or Shared? - http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r...
phil baumann, Ben Parr, Susan Beebe and 16 other people liked this
Definitely shared. Getting dugg is like a one night stand, fun, potentially awesome but potentially awful whereas being being shared is like engaging in a LTR where transgressions (linkbait and fluff pieces) are somewhat forgiven.
- James Williams
Shared, shared shared. I don't especially like shouts, or messages from Mixx recommending I vote something up. And I feel cheap when I ask people to mixx or digg something for me.

What about Like'd? On a more practical note though, being shared probably has the benefit that traffic ramps up more organically, less likely to bring down your site :)

If I HAD to choose, GR sharing is way better. The pros far outweigh the cons for me. Especially the point you make about the conversations (especially the intimate ones) developing -- that's more important to me than the potential for a lot of pageviews.

i'd rather have my items stumbled. new audience, more long-term visitors, and maybe new readers that never knew i existed.

The funny thing about Digg is that it always impresses me from a techincal point of view, I always find and enjoy a story I've not read before and yet I don't use it regularly. It has no addictive qualities like FriendFeed.
- Toby Graham
Shared definitely. The irony of Digg is that it is a "social bookmarking" site but there are no social categories and most of the "popular" diggers slate social media. With Sharing at least you are normally getting your post seen by its target audience.
- Colin Walker

Shared. a) I never get to make it to the front page since we've been auto-buried for over a year. b) Digg is a lot of one-time, non-sticky traffic for the most part.

I don't understand how this happened. I set my alarm for 8:30am. It went off at 10:07. The same thing happened yesterday, but I thought I must have slept through it. Seriously, how does something like this happen?

There is a japanese homeless woman living on the top shelf of your closet (they are everywhere these days) who sneaks out for food, and because she is not pleased with the selection messes with your clock before she goes back into hiding
- RAPatton
It's a supernatural force. Had you left at 10:07, you would have gotten in a car accident and then been abducted by a band of thieves who would then brainwash you. Years later, we would meet again when you were robbing FriendFeed, and you would have a vague recollection of having met me before, but you would quickly ignore it and then shoot me. Thank god for the alarm not going off at 8:30.
