At that point, I’m expecting a random person to come to our table and start lecturing us about echo chambers and criticizing the bartender for not appropriate moderating our debate. After that, I assume someone else will come to the table and proceed with an unhinged rant about marxism and free speech.
I’m told this is what happens in the real word so I’m not sure I’m ready for it. Wish me luck! Having conversations in the real world about niche topics like permanent resident voting rights in municipal elections is vewwy skewwy.
Maybe we’ll just skip all that and have a normal conversation we laugh at each other if someone says something stupid… you know… like normal people.

You could start with being less of an ass. That would be an idea.
