Why does nobody talk about writing your bad takes down before you post them?
Back in 2019 I got into a dumb argument on a forum about whether a hot dog is a sandwich and I fired off like nine replies in twenty minutes. Got banned for a week. My brother told me to try something stupid simple: jot the take down in a notes app before typing it into the box. First time I tried it I realized three of my points were just me being annoyed, not actual arguments. Now I keep a running list on my phone and half of it never makes it past the notes stage, which is honestly a win. Last month I caught myself about to post a rant about pineapple on pizza and the note said 'you don't care about this, you're just bored.' Deleted it. Some of the takes I do post end up better because I sat on them for a day. This is not some big life thing, it is just a dumb trick that keeps me from getting timed out. What do you all use to cool off before hitting reply?
