Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I try to. I started because I got so annoyed with others failing to do this.

However, I still fail at it often enough to occasionally embarrass myself.

Don't do it for them, do it for you.

It makes you more aware of your bias, and thus hopefully will consider the other side and its merits. I always remember the quote (though I can;t remember who said it) "no one is the villain in their own story", there will be a reason why they believe what they do, sometimes understanding will permit a dialog where friction will only cause more friction.
