What would Zarquon do?

Here's a tip for having a productive conversation: Listen. I know, I know...easier said than done. But I promise, even if you pretend to actually care about what the person who's talking to you is saying, they might actually believe it. Staring blankly at them while they share a story with you and then jump in with something random and self-appreciating is remarkably annoying. No, we don't think you're as cool as you do.
