Don't assume too much of your fellow conversational peer. Either by your own anxieties or biases, you never truly know who's on the other side and what they know and mean with their words.

If you assume they're naive/mean/ignorant/whatever you may be wrong and a mistake can be made, either with words or actions.

You never know their skills just by how they talk with you.

Plus, people curate their online presences. You only see a fraction of their reality.

Sometimes you miss their pain, sometimes you miss their skills, and sometimes you just miss an opportunity to listen and engage with civility.

Note: before anyone assumes it, this is NOT about free speech!

Tech enthusiast: "I want smart lights, smart tv, everything, and connect them all to my digital assisstant!"

Tech worker: *looks wistfully into distance* "I should get a small place in a little town, with a garden, make my own furniture."

D&D lets you live out all kinds of fantasies, such as:
-Having everyone call you by your preferred name and gender
-Having a big group of friends who do everything together
-Making a reasonable wage as a freelancer
-Being able to murder the terrible leadership of your country
-Getting 8 hours of sleep
