People riot

It depends on the country, I'd say.

over less

What is "less" for you?

Yeah, I don't care anymore. I just use a few smile emoji, and the facepalm one, because I never found a satisfactory emoticon for it.

Same as emoticons did, now with Unicode Consortium approval! 😁

I love that Theora is called that after the controller in Max Headroom played by Amanda Pays.

Something like this would cause me a deep depression in month.

Respect every person, not necessarily their beliefs

And just while their actions still warrant respect, and no further.

I'm trying to think of a funny way for Ryan to misunderstand Lemmy, but nothing comes to mind.

That's precisely my point: Reading more (specially fiction) gives you additional situations, context and ways to face different situations, as well as vocabulary, to help you express yourself when needed.

Dyslexia, anxiety, poor education, not being a native speaker, ADHD, etc.

That "etc." certainly includes living in an anti-intellectual society full of emotionally stunted people who learned that men shouldn't care about feelings and that reading is for dorks.

what if I can't put my feelings into words?

Read more. Then, write more.

It can be very hard to find the right words a lot of the time.

That can be, in many cases, because you don't read enough to have learned the proper words to express yourself. Maybe you're even convinced that reading isn't worth it.

If this is the case, you don't have anything worth saying. Better stay silent.

Hell no. That would turn anything other than unflinching obsequiousness towards obnoxious clients and potential fraudsters into a firing offense. Specially in the already dystopian US job market.
