gave up paying attention years ago
it's like magic
lucky I got lots of things going on in life so I don't need to fill it
not having tv not having social media other than strava and trg is wonderful
people kept talking about this matt guy this week and I had no clue who he was then someone told me
I like not knowing who these fuck ups are I like not caring
You’re so cool
If you choose intolerance, then you have to navigate that. For many, that will include coworkers, bosses, subordinates, your dentist, doctor, car mechanics, kids teachers, ski patrolers and so on. And you also invite others to tread you in the same fashion.
But they are your choices to make. I don't want to live in a monoculture. If everyone acted and thought like me, society would suck.
Its your game to play. I know what works for me. You gotta find what works for you.

No guardhouse. I do have a boat we could flee on. If it was summer. And we didn’t have to flee too far.Quote:

Shut up
????? Moi? If you were choosing to ignore, why are you here?
Exactly. I know exactly how I feel about anyone that voted for the Rapist, Twice Impeached, Insurrectionist that got of easy with only 34 (was it) Felonies. Fuck him and fuck you.Quote:

I just subscribed to the print edition of The Onion and that will be my only news source for the next four years.
Recently I just got an enormous hemmroid so your kinda spot onQuote:

One way that I think I've avoided the news angst of recent times is that I typically read business-oriented news sites.
You get way less of the emotion and dramatic headlines/ anecdotes
My husband gets fired up practically every day because of the news, but hoping he chills out once ski season arrives
Does that come with print info wars?Quote:

You're right....
there’s business news - good, investigative reporting - and business news that’s just recycled PR. Politics news is almost entirely PR/pointless ragebaitQuote:

Kind of like how admins delete and move threads they do not like.
Carry on.
lol you’re such a little bitch.
carry on, little bitch!
Cruising the world and avoiding America for the next 4 years while visiting 140 countries actually has some appeal, and would be one hell of a way to choose ignore. Too bad I love skiing too much and I'm not so sure about cruises in general (not to mention not retired). https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trum...-nomad-1984726
This thread reeks of white male privilege and cowardice.
Y’all are going to wake up from your 4 year political nap to a much worse America.
Well sure. It’s a fucking skiing forum, you dip shit.Quote:

I don't know, or judge, the rest here but I just gave myself a 30 day RnR away from the sound of battle so I can return to the fray refreshed.
Exactly. Wtf. The last thing my wife did was hand write a shitton of letters to voters in Georgia who did not vote last election.Quote:

I did read an article about the Dept of education which pissed me off but also gave me hope.Quote:
