To me any dialogue is good dialogue. Even among the stupid and/or assholes. You improve your tolerance, learn a bit about yourself, believe it or not you gain new perspectives and you learn how to adapt to bad situations with awful people.
SS, if you challenge one of these neanderthals critically and force them to use their brain you'd be surprised how quick the dominance role changes in your favor.

It's actually super easy to do that. This one guy was once giving me shit because he had a girlfriend and I didn't and was putting himself above me because he got laid and I cut him off and said, "congratulations, you stuck your penis in a vagina." Then I clapped and asked the people I was with to join in. He shut up after that.
The macho dudes that love to throw their weight around are counting on being taken seriously. Acknowledge what they're asserting and show them it's no big deal and that they're being stupid and annoying and they'll stop. They may up the ante, but that'll just make them look more insecure.

Well that's one way to go about it. You might be building resentment though. I was thinking of something a little more subtle, seemingly positive and reinforcing.
"People whose self-worth is tied to having or not having a significant other in their life tend to be codependent and lack the ability to think for themselves, I have a book I can lend you that goes into great detail if you're interested"
The key is to be genuine.

I don't know if I could live with a very large percentage of girls really. The gender here isn't important, it's just, well, I don't fuck dudes. I mean, I don't like other people's body odour or accidentally pulling on their hairs by laying on them. A lot of women have hairy arms or skanky feet and it's gross. Also people put gay music on, and I long to listen to my own after a while of it.

I'm beginning to really not like these 9/11 conspiracy theorists. I wonder if they realize how ridiculous some of the shit they say actually is. I heard one of them actually claim that the WTC was brought down with "mini nukes" planted inside of the buildings by the US government. If they were brought down with nuclear weapons their would be fucking nuclear radiation all over New York especially at ground zero.

I think it should be totally obvious 9/11 required some measure of complicity. From whom and exactly how is open for debate though, until all the classified and buried information comes out.

The 1.5 hours between initial reporting of the situation and the last crash make it very hard to believe that interceptor aircraft could not have been scrambled.
Here's why, in my opinion, admittedly that of a lay person with no military knowledge
Hijacked airliners were actually probably the main threat to US airspace, I'm not sure when Putin resumed Russia sending long range bombers to the edges of US airspace, but I don't think it was happening much back then. Further evidence of this includes the fact that the US military conducted practice scenarios involving hijacked jets.
The US is the biggest economy in the world with the biggest military budget in the world, why have a 1.5 hour gap in the air defence of the pentagon. You can say that round the clock air defence is uncessary, but as long as you have determined that use of hijacked aircraft is the main likely method of some kind of aerial attack, you already know that the amount of warning you're going to get is going to be limited in comparison to detecting some Russian aircraft approaching US airspace without permission.
Countries with far smaller economies manage to maintain the ability to intercept aircraft with fighters. New Zealand is the only country I'm aware of that has retired that ability in recent times. The UK, for example, intercepted Russian bombers from UK airspace around a minor city within about 5 minutes.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I actually understand this
He's bitching about how most girls are unattractive until the moments where they are actually specifically trying to be attractive
I got friend-zoned by this girl that wants to hang out with me every day and because she wants "to be single right now" she's stopped wearing perfume and it seems as if she's stopped wearing deodorant as well, she's stopped washing her clothes, stopped wearing nice clothes and is instead wearing raggedy, permanently-stenched clothes, since she's not dating anyone she's let her armpit hair grow back which I noticed while she was wearing the dirtiest tank top I've ever seen, when she broke up with her guy, she didn't merely stop wearing "sexy" shoes, she's stopped wearing any footwear at all and walking around barefoot has made the soles of of her previously ghost-White feet are now black from dirt, she's stopped wearing deodorant and she's still taking showers she's somehow not getting the soles of her feet clean and she's stopped getting her hair wet because without a boyfriend, she no longer sees any point in washing her hair
This girl is albino white with naturally platinum-blond hair with eyes the color of the sky at noon on a cloudless day
This girl would be as-sexy-as-hell if she cleaned her visibly dirty hair, cleaned the smell out of her hair, scrubbed off the dirt-calluses off her gorgeously-shaped feet, cleaned and filed and painted her her dirty and ragged toenails, if she shaved her armpits and her thicker-than-a-male lower-leg-hair, if she resumed wearing deodorant and perfume, put on clean and sexy clothes with open toed shoes with clean, clipped and painted toenails
If she did these things she'd be as sexy as hell (like i've seen her when she has a boyfriend to impress) but she won't do these things right now because she doesn't wanna be sexy right now because she doesn't want to have a boyfriend right now (I've seen her go through this before, making herself un-sexy between boyfriends,she'll clean herself up when she's ready to start looking for her next boyfriend) it's just that right now she's single cuz she's making herself to unattractive to have a boyfriend

People who are more into music scene fashion than the music itself. For example (I think I might've already mentioned this guy earlier but whatever), I saw an acquaintance from high school at two different goth nights. He was wearing a Darkthrone shirt the first time and the second time, he was wearing a patch vest with Death, Pentagram, and Gorgoroth patches. Both times I tried to engage him in a discussion about music and both times he took little to no interest in so much as commenting on or asking about my patches, much less discussing anything about his own. I was wearing my patch vest both times I ran into him.
This kid was a pretty big "scenester" in high school from what I can recall and he played in a few local metalcore bands. That's fine and all since everyone goes through phases when they're younger that they (may or may not) eventually grow out of and it's cool to think that someone might actually be getting into music I like. But when it comes to wearing a band's merchandise while avoiding conversations with strangers who comment on it, I smell bullshit. The only other reason to wear it that I can think of is to conform to whatever friend circle they're currently a part of.
Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions and being judgmental but I do think there are people who use music primarily as a fashion statement. It's just weird and depressing that this mindset might be starting to bleed into underground metal.
