personal breakthrough

s0, i used to have this problem.

where when stupid people would start talking about things they didn't know anything at all about, i would argue with them. or try to make them understand something.

i mean, only if i knew about the topic, of course. but it just would frustrate me so much that i would go blue in the face arguing with idiots.

now, i just listen and laugh and then gossip about them later.
is that worse?
