Machine for the practice of half-opening your mouth during a conversation

  • Inferring presence during a conversation of which you know you should be a part;
  • Deciding not to speak because of your accent (instead feigning eloquence through silence);
  • Making sure your face isn’t misread as disagreeing;
  • Voicing adversarial viewpoints towards: racism, sexism, classism, etc. without getting into an argument;
  • Pretending to understand things when someone tells a long anecdote in which you just cannot pay any more attention.
