 I was about to argue with someone on nostr because they were wrong on the internet and my wife said that I have 2 small children and a life, thus I'm not allowed to waste time like that.

What to do? 
 the inner peace of having enough self-control knowing that you totally could, but decide not to is what makes it beautiful 💜 https://i.nostr.build/D23J.jpg  
 I'm not that strong 
 Your wife is right but you do go to the bathroom feom time to time right, right 😉 
 Not enough time for a full rant 
 Your wife is right.
It is better you teach this to you kids.
Spending time with them makes this planet a better place.
Waste your time with your children. 
 It's the Nostr. 
 Since when?🤔 
 Officially merged.

 Honey, you take the kids to the party, I have to argue with someone that's wrong on the Internet.

 do it, you don’t want to regret it later on 🤗 https://i.nostr.build/dBn4.jpg  
 I guess for me it would be, "I wish I spent more time standing up for my own beliefs."

Which is what I'm thinking about now and something I don't want to regret not doing later. 
 Write a bot to troll your enemies. You will have a lot more time for masturbation that way.  
 Haha, good idea. Can't slack on jacking off.

Though No Nut November is coming up and I'm going to try and succeed this year. 
 Just get married.  
 Goals. 
 And to what ends? 😂 
 I saw this post many years ago, during the golden age of Facebook and it made me quit the online arguments entirely. The only entity that profits from th is is Facebook, or whatever platform.  
 wait, the following is not the goal?! https://i.nostr.build/AA8j.jpg  
 Aim higher. Be the reason why the EU comes up with new content moderation laws and prison camps.  
 Get her to do the online arguing for you😎 
 close the browser and back away. 
 That's grounds for divorce. 
 Depends on what the argument was about 
 What kind of arguments are worth it? 
 If you think your ideas are constructive, send them. Being generous is good for Nostr. You are free to speak here.

If someone is trying to bait you, just ignore him/her. Time will show them what is Nostr about 😉 
 You can't let him off that easy. Everyone knows that internet arguments always end with one or the other admitting they are wrong and their world view completely changing for the better. :/ 
 I don’t think “not allowed” is correct. Though how wise it can be to argue on the internet can vary a lot based on circumstances of the moment and who is listening. 
I’m trying to figure this balance out myself. 
Maybe involve your family in internet conversations?  It could be a really enriching opportunity for your kids especially to help them explore why this person is wrong and what the best thing to say is.
