Wish I could say the same

"I know you are but what am I" and "You're bad at debating" in the same comment is an interesting choice.

Unpopular opinion: this feels more intimate than romance

“No, it’s more complicated than that, you’re not listening.”

"Oh, I'm sorry if I misunderstood, can you explain what I missed?" should avoid arguments. Try not to get personally offended if someone says "you're not listening" or something: just demonstrate that you actually are.

pro tip: when someone asks "do you understand", instead of simply confirming you do, it helps a lot to give a short summary of what they were just talking about - it helps them to feel listened to so they'll feel more comfortable continuing, or if there's a detail you missed that's critical or if you got something wrong, you can fix it immediately rather than after it causes confusion!

for bonus points, also validate the feelings/emotions of your interlocutor. If what they experienced sounds sad, or frustrating, or if it makes you happy, let them know!

The forbidden seventh leche

Sounds like a Minecraft Mod waiting to happen.

Lechecraft allows you to milk all mammal mobs, turn milk into three different preparations, and assemble those milk products in any way you want. The goal? To leche like no one has ever leched before!

Compatible with all good automation mods!

Capitalism is a very complicated machine with many moving parts, so explaining how society changes as a function of capitalism in a written medium requires quite a lot of words, but just for you, I'll try to summarize:

  • The more money you have, the easier it is to make yet more money.
  • Money = Power.
  • Power corrupts.
  • Those with power want to keep it.
  • Best way to keep power is to avoid blame for your bad behavior.
  • Best way to avoid blame for bad things is to attribute it to someone else.
  • People have an innate bias against those different from them.
  • Result: The ruling class (the most wealthy and powerful people) blame minorities for the problems in society instead of accepting the blame themselves, because they don't want to give up any of their wealth or power, and they use various tools including the media to shape the popular zeitgeist and lobbying to keep politicians on their side.

My bad, I'm autistic and struggle to tell sometimes! Sorry for preaching to the converted :p
