I speak like a politician
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
I want to convey all of the context to my yes/no answers first, but people get frustrated because they just want the answer
I was gonna make a different meme about how godly I feel when I can respond to an open-ended question with yes/no but it just didn't come together and then I thought of this instead
Do you break the law? Yes or no?
The answer is almost certainly yes, but it definitely requires context. Are we talking speeding? Murder?
It's like on a physical health assessment I have to take yearly that asks if I'm a smoker with the options ofa pack a day or more, a pack a week, I quit smoking, or I have never smoked a cigarette.
Sometimes (often!) A simple yes or no doesn't answer the context of the question.
You can add context and still answer a question.
The answer to "Do you want breakfast?" can be more than a simple yes or no, but it should not be a 15min monologue about the importance of nutrition and why your political opponent tries to undermine nutritional freedom by increasing taxes.
