I don&#039;t even fully identify with one party or another.<br /> <br /> Plus, I can&#039;t control a damn thing when it comes to global trade, wars, even the environment. (Many left-wingers would strongly disagree).<br /> <br /> I choose to put my focus on things I can control.

It was pretty cool to do that. If I remember right, I got to sit in the seat that was assigned to a representative from Kentucky.<br /> <br /> The purpose was to create a mock debate to try to pass a bill or whatever so for a week we would be in our groups working on whatever and then try to work with caucuses. I was in the leadership group so I was always busy doing something while the other people I went with would be hanging out and having fun. One of the days, I was put in with another group to &quot;spy&quot; on them and see what they were trying to come up with or how they were trying to derail our side. I literally had no idea what I was doing. <br /> <br /> At the end of the week, they had everyone in a large room and they appointed someone to be the house speaker and then everyone debated back and forth. I was sleep deprived every day and I understood nearly zero about the entire process so I didn&#039;t know what was going on. I didn&#039;t have an interest in government back then but was picked as my school/teachers saw me as a future leader.<br /> <br /> I ended up meeting a kid who was on the Nickelodeon tv show, &quot;Wild and Crazy Kids&quot; so that was neat. He was there as part of the conference too. <br /> <br /> Since then, though, I&#039;ve had an interest in what they do and the potential to shape the country. It&#039;s just sad that we have two sides who don&#039;t get along. I could rant about this quite a bit, but it baffles me that you can have a group of people who make such bad decisions with incomplete information just because they have an &quot;ideal&quot; of the way things should be without fully thinking through the consequences.</div>

Best we got at that age was going to city council to debate whether smoking in restaurants should be allowed. <br /> <br /> Agreed I think politics is important so it&#039;s good to be informed but being &quot;fans&quot; of parties or politicians and getting heavily invested can be a waste of time. <br /> <br /> I think the best quote about politics I&#039;ve heard (can&#039;t remember who it was from) was &quot;You shouldn&#039;t be be FANS of politicians. They&#039;re not pop stars - you should be for them when they make good decisions and criticize them when they make bad decisions&quot;.</div>

I actively refrain from following politics, especially from the media. <br /> <br /> All the stuff I need to know trickles down to me without me making an effort to find out about it. <br /> <br /> The rest of the stuff, I&#039;m convinced, is intentionally created to be as addictive as possible to make people become polarized and irritated (if not infuriated) with the other side.</div>

We&#039;re lucky enough to be alive in the most peaceful and prosperous era and region of the world ever (so far) but a lot of experts agree with you that the stability we have in North America is much more fragile than most people think and we could plunge ourselves into a collapse easily.<br /> <br /> And we have this new generation of self-absorbed young people who think the world owes them something because they&#039;re alive, they think capitalism needs to be &quot;torn down&quot; and that our system is built on patriarchy, etc. And of course politicians play directly into it trying to stoke the fire just for power.

I&#039;m guessing that it only got to a screen because of the big names in it. Zero character development, zero character connection (you simply don&#039;t care about any of the characters and their stories) and terrible plot. I&#039;d go on but the movie already stole 2 hours of my life.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I usually pay attention to how politics is <u>reported</u> which is slightly different than the politics themselves.<br /> <br /> That way I can find the truth and expose the narrative engineers, IOWs, the liars.<br /> <br /> As the divergence between truth and lie gets wider as put forth by the media (corporate journalism in this country has been dead for years) I know the republic is closer to collapsing like ancient Rome. I&#039;d like to be living in the middle of nowhere when it happens. </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> <br /> I am looking forward to 1917.

<div class="bbWrapper">[huge pointless pathetic rant incoming]<br /> <br /> This post is mostly just for me to vent because I&#039;m at a point in my life that I don&#039;t know what to do anymore.<br /> <br /> I hate just about every aspect of my life.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m in my late 30s with nothing to show for it. Just took (yet another) new slowlane job chasing money/happiness and all it does is depress me more. I&#039;m miserable from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep.<br /> <br /> I just wanted to create something with my life, and when I look back I&#039;ve done nothing. Barely have any friends, making less money than most people I know, and I don&#039;t see any end to it. I know the &quot;you&#039;re dead over 35&quot; thread wasn&#039;t totally serious, but that&#039;s how I feel. I feel like I&#039;ve wasted what little time I have on completely pointless activities and busy work.<br /> <br /> I know starting a business isn&#039;t easy, and it isn&#039;t an overnight thing. But I just feel like if I could actually do something that I cared about and could be successful it would fill a void I feel in myself.<br /> <br /> But I don&#039;t. I just come to work every day, read threads about other people taking action, and think about my lacking skillset and how I can&#039;t accomplish anything.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m just tired. I have a birthday coming up and I just don&#039;t even care. It&#039;s just a reminder that I&#039;ve lost another year of doing absolutely nothing.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m an only child and grew up in a house where my mom always told me how &quot;great&quot; I was. It was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me. Now I&#039;m completely paralyzed because nothing seems good enough, and I feel like I fail at everything.<br /> <br /> Anyway, my &quot;break time&quot; is up and I&#039;m back to wasting more time away at something I hate doing because it&#039;s the &quot;right thing&quot; to do so I can support my family.<br /> <br /> Here&#039;s to another year I guess.<br /> <br /> [/rant]</div>

In my case my dad told me I was the greatest/best/most/etc. In my early teens I learned that was far from true. My early thirties inflated my ego and I realized I was telling myself the same, forgetting to praise the work/process.<br /> Lucky I have a wife who will tell me to quit whining and do something! <br /> but yeah. I know what you’re describing.</div>
