It's hard for me, real hard, but I'm doing it. I've given up on pro sports. Fuck their ignorance. Hope those kids get the paychecks they think they deserve when 3/4 of the population no longer supports their revenue.
America baby! Either realize how lucky you are or GTFO
It seems all too easy to do it, but don't go back.
I gave it up long ago when my oldest kid (as a tiny pede) asked me to go outside and pay with her in the backyard once Saturday afternoon. I realized that she (and then her younger brother) were more important that a pack of overpaid assholes on television. So, I went out and did fun and dumb stuff with the kids, instead of sitting around watching sports. We'd always take the time to go to the park, or go to a museum, or go do something dumb like a great big scavenger hunt (I'd take one kid and a car, the wife would take the other and her car - it would always end at a fast-food joint for ice cream and such where we would all compare notes.) One time we drove like 3 hours in the mountains one autumn just to look at the trees changing color and the snow creeping down the mountainsides, stop at various playgrounds at every small town along the way, then drive back for 3 more hours.
Now that they're all grown up and moved out, I have a frig-ton of awesome memories of hikes, building lopsided yard ornaments, camp-outs, gardening, and thousands of other things. Scares the shit out of me at the thought of only having team stats and bullshit watercooler conversations to think back to.
Even if you don't have kids, GTFO of the house and go do cool shit with the wife, GF, or even by yourself. After you turn 50, you'll thank yourself constantly for doing that...
To that I would add, learn a new skill, or for some of us graybeards, relearn a lost one. Personally, I've reignited my love of making electronics and robotics projects come to life. I still feel good making my own projects and repairing so many things that would otherwise be bought from China even though it's almost impossible to buy components that aren't manufactured in China these days. Now, here's hoping that some of those supply lines make their way back closer to home, I'd absolutely love to never see a crappy Chinese datasheet again.
"This is the best addiction site ever. Nobody is better at addicting pedes and patriots than thedonald.win. All the other sites are a total disaster... Ask anyone on thedonald.win and they all agree, believe me."
I'm one of those people that dabbled in drugs. (Except for the kinda drugs Floyd was on minus the weed). I've done basically everything but heroin and meth. Did alot of blow when I was young and plenty of pain killers too. Also got into some pretty serious drinking for a while. Only thing I really do now is some weed sometimes because why not it's legal here and I'll be damned if I don't have any enjoyment living in a liberal shit hole.
I was able to stop those kind of things cold turkey. When they took away T_D on that other gay website I was having serious withdrawals. I cannot give this place up.
