    I LOVE spoiling speeches like this with one-word spoilers, or as close to it as possible. At least when it’s a negative speech or otherwise childish/blatantly obvious one.

    Like if they’re going on and on describing the definition of a technical term and haven’t said the term, I’ll just blurt it out in hopes they stfu about the definition. Or similar things with philosophical topics.

    It is conversationally abnormal and can be rude, but if you do it in an excited, engaged way like you want to talk to them and just want to get past those little moments faster, then I find only the true assholes who demand a conversation operate a certain way will get upset… and FUCK people who are rude to atypical people simply for being atypical.

    Though that’s the way I’ve settled on “finishing other’s sentences.”: I just say something very short that should prompt them they can skip some details if I’m on the right track, not assume the details for them.
