Best to smile and get out of their way. As pointed out above, be small-p political in having lots of great kids, raising them well, fishing and hunting, buy a dog, go to church if you can stomach it, lift weights.
Thats what I dream of, anyway. Instead of being up to date on what the ACLU or Rachel Maddow are saying |

I get not obsessing over the NFL or politics - but not never watching a TV show. There is a lot of garbage, but there is more high-quality content then ever before. I don't buy anyone saying they spend all their free time with their kids, working out, reading Marcus Aurelius, and meditating in nature. It is like the XO version of virtue signaling.

Still following the Bills, though. |

Date: June 21st, 2018 2:18 PM Author: Sexy legal warrant party of the first part I was a Bills man. Will never forget my widower Dad bringing us to Rich. Cheeering on frank Reich and Ken Davis in the Oilers game. Rushing the field. Always will love Levy. Special memories, but damned if this franchise deserves my time now.
Not even raising my kid to know who the current QB is. It’s better to keep those late 80s early 90s teams in my memory anyway. I just pretend the franchise moved to Vegas |
|
Date: June 21st, 2018 2:22 PM Author: Bonkers bronze filthpig I've stopped following the Sabres almost completely -- hard to care about that disaster of a franchise from across the country with many other demands on time. I really like watching hockey, but they're such a mess. Buffalo News also axed half of their sportswriters a few weeks ago.
Bills connect me to home, brother, dad, uncles, and a handful of old friends I keep in touch with. I keep saying that I won't watch, but inevitably I pay the $200 for Sunday Ticket (pre-kid I dragged my wife to a bar at 10 a.m. to watch). |
|
Date: June 22nd, 2018 12:35 PM Author: pearly cowardly ratface I'm the same with politics, but on the opposite side. Used to be a Union dem/lib, but at a certain point I noticed the Democratic party seemed completely uninterested in helping actual average Americans and was more concerned with gay rights, supporting illegals and shaming white males. I still hate racist conservatives (like many of the deranged poasters here on XO), though. It feels like there is no place anymore for a normal person who'd like to see unity and consensus building, who loves their country but doesn't treat it like a religion, who can acknowledge shades of grey, etc.
I will always follow the Bills though. Just too many fond childhood memories to completely divorce myself from my fandom. I'm just more mature about it now. My weekends used to be ruined when they lost. Now I don't get too worked up if they lose and just enjoy it for the distraction that it is. And I'll skip the occasional game to do stuff with the kids or go golf or whatever. |

Date: June 21st, 2018 6:38 PM Author: Maroon Deep Tanning Salon The key is to find a good chill hobby. I took up golf this season and it’s pretty 180. I play a few times a week, walking the course in the morning before work. I find that all of a sudden all I care about is my family, my work, and golf. Some interest in the tour events (I’ll watch weekend afternoon coverage of big tournaments), but mostly working on my own game and reading about the history of the game. Reading John Updike’s book on golf right now. Used to have so much attention consumed by current events and the big pro team sports. This is s much more chill existence.
