How do you think Lit would be different if you had to pay a small monthly fee to participate?

I know you wouldn't see me on here anymore. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't be here.

I come and go anyway. I would just stay gone. It would only force me to move on. More and more, I think being here since 2003 is kinda sad. Holding on to what it isnt anymore. I ask why? And I cant even give you one good reason. You know...thank you. Time to go again.

I'd bloody well want profiles to work :D

But you'd probably, as people have said, see a huge reduction in engagement. And I'm always wary of price-hiking. I wouldn't support it.

I wouldn’t be weary of a small fee as a way to verify identify and get rid of alts.

I would want profiles to work and a mobile app.

It's the end of times, let's trash this place! :D

What about a Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" type fee. By that I mean, every month a random PM is sent out to a Lit member and they have to post a sexy pic of themselves (sexy would be defined by them and totally accepted by everyone)?
Just my way of making the place potentially more perverted and the cost is creativity. Plus we all get to see some hot flesh! :p

(This is how my brain works)

How good are you at relating to someone you completely disagree with? Can you understand an opposite point of view even if you don't agree?

If a person explains themselves well enough, then yes, I'd totally be able to see their point of view whilst still disagreeing with it (and likewise I hope I explain myself well enough that people understand me). :)

i consider it a valuable skill to listen to and try to understand and appreciate opposing opinions. we’re in dire need of more such behavior these days. just because you don’t agree with me doesn’t make you my enemy. i’d rather find viewpoints on which we do agree and build from there. i think that’s how progress is achieved.

I’m at an age where I have come full circle on an awful lot of things so I can say I think I’m pretty good at it. Why? I was probably ‘there’ myself. Or in a spot somewhere close to or related to their opinion. Or I’ve argued their point already. I’ll try to join them for a minute in their opinion and break away when I get to the fork in the road and tell them why. I’ve spent my entire adult life having my work performance evaluated on a near daily basis (and my compensation depend on this) so I have to be ready to self evaluate and try to anticipate the other side.

Passion and heat about your point of view doesn’t negate it, but it can cause others to be less inclined to listen. I wasn’t as good at controlling this when I was younger. When I yell, I prefer to yell at the moon or, worst case, myself. I also try to make an active effort to be direct, because in directness you are honoring another’s words and opinions. Beating around the bush (easy there...) never works.

I’ve been told recently that I read too much into things;) I don’t think so, but I’m going to sit back and think about it for awhile:rolleyes:

Lit Interaction

How important is it to you to get a response on something you post? Why? How often to you initiate a PM conversation? How does actual interaction with other posters factor into your coming to Lit? Do you need to feel heard or do you just want a place to read and say what's on your mind without judgement?

It doesn't even register. Extremely rare that I would do so. Not at all. Nope, I've got other places for that.

It would be like a barren planet. Totally lifeless.

As long as they're not drunk or totally wacked out I can listen. Yes.

Unfortunately, far too good. It's my biggest strength and biggest weakness. I can put myself in someone else's shoes far more than I like, most of the time, because it makes me indecisive.

The only exception is when the other point of view is based on false information or data...then I dig my heels in and become a fucking mule. 🙄

I completely disagree with you on this, so don't ever talk to me again! :D
 
Good. Yes.
It's important to me, so i work at it.

I used to try much harder, as relationship building was part of it by default. But now? I don't try at all. I feel a world apart from anyone that could believe what most of the other side believes, and I am actually good at playing devil's advocate. To me, an entire political party is run by traitors and if you can support those traitors, you are one too. Silence is consent on some of these issues. i've ended friendships over these differences because it's a moral failure to me to not speak up about what's going on.

Differences in pop culture taste is a different story. I just don't see how people can be wrong about that ;)
 
All of this, yes. Like ALL of it. :heart:

People bitch that "we're so divided". No we're not divided. You're just failing at the moral level. And you deserve to be cut out.

don't even get me started on the sociological studies of the Trump voter like these people are fucking Jane Goodall.

I agree but...don't get me started.
