How To Know When To Drop A Subject

Hmm. I thought it was more than that.
What about leaf cutter ants? Can't they lift like even more? #whensomethingsupposedlyimpressiveseemsunimpressivebecauseyoualreadythoughtitwasevenmoreimpressivethanthethingyouhavejustbeentoldisimpressive  (April 22, 2016 at 8:28 pm)ignoramus Wrote: Did you guys know that an ant can lift 28 times its weight!

This thread is lame.
How 'bout them Cubs ?? The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
NO I WILL NOT BELIEVE IT
None of my threads are lame

This exactly, and I feel it's especially relevent over texts and online talk as well I had this one friend who got offended with me because I sometimes I wouldn't text him back. It's not like it was shade, it was just that we'd been talking and the conversation had got to a point where it tailed off so I didn't feel a need to reply. I find it's easy in person to tell when someone is interested in what you're talking about though. Conversations are a mutual exchange. They don't necessarily need to be talking back but there are non-verbal cues like eye contact, clearly turning to face you, nodding is another common one. People nod and change up their facial expressions a lot when they're really listening, they'll appear to react with body and facial language even if they don't verbally say anything.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie RE: How To Know When To Drop A Subject

I always reply. I feel rude if I don't say bye.
Sure sometimes they just end. But I say bye. Otherwise if I am talking to a friend who is sensitive and/or insecure, they might worry that something is wrong. And I definitely always reply to questions, even if the answer is just "I'm sorry but I don't feel comfortable answering that question." I never ignore questions and I don't even ignore statements, if I don't know what to say I say "I'm not sure what to say." Before I leave I say "bye" or "got to go". Yes conversations end naturally but that is not what this is about. This is about changing the subject not ending the conversation. If I'm talking to someone who wants to talk to me but I talk about the same thing for too long, the question is, is a good way to change the subject "Shall we change the subject?" or "let's change the subject."? Or are there better ways for changing subjects? Conversations do trail off... but that usually happens more with people you're not on the same wavelength with. But even people I get along well with, I sometimes talk about the same thing for too long. I just need to change the subject better, there's no need to end the conversation unless someone actually wants that. Clear?  EDIT: See, ironically I'm even doing it now. I was talking about changing the subject. And people changed the subject to ending conversations, and I am stubbornly sticking to it being specifically about changing the subject. Fair enough I made the OP and I want to be clear I was talking about changing the subject specifically, but I really will literally just steamroll this pedantic specification of this being about changing the subject all the way though the thread, stopping for fluff and memes and luz, naturally
