On a somewhat unrelated note, totally honest question here for everyone. Do you ever get to a point where it's difficult to balance "being informed" and so pissed off that it's better to just not read about politics anymore?
I think I'm kinda there now. I'd rather ignore a lot of the political theater that's going on now at the risk of being uninformed. At some point the annoyance isn't worth the information. I'd rather be a little blissfully unaware and happier. Not completely, just some.
That's why my political obnoxiousness on this board has decreased like 95% over the years.
Partially because I realized this "team" ideology bullshit is freaking retarded. But also because I realized what's the freaking point in arguing with someone about political excrement when statistically its impossible for someone to change their mind about something they're decided on, and because I understand that the only thing that comes from these arguments is people get annoyed fight and turn into a bunch of pretencious cunts.
This is why my tolerance for arguing politics has become about 5 to 10 minutes before I roll over and die. And it gives me more time and energy to focus on the things that matter, like Becton's body fat percentage
