Thanks to politics and our media i have slowly become an angsty & irritable person.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I'm 55 years old so my time is shorter than I'd like and I really don't want to spend the time left bitching constantly.
I've cut off all cable news in the last 6 months outside of yourube clips and I have noticed a difference in my demeanor but that's not good enough.
I think I have become to comfortable insulting people on here that are total strangers and I don't like that. I am not a mean person by nature but political arguments seem to drive me off the cliff.
I am going to try to actively avoid general political arguments for awhile. I have a passion for my job, music, cooking and a few other things so I'm going to "try" to focus on those things in my posts for awhile.
I've been single for several years now and when reflecting on old posts when quoted days later I think to myself that that person seems angry. Who wants to date someone who's perpetually angry....Granted dating is probably a year or so away thanks to the pandemic and my self reflection but hey, gotta start somewhere right.

So in honor of my efforts here's a photo of tonight's dinner I cooked today anticipating another week of hotel food and my dog thinking he owns the place cause I've been gone so long.

55?

I graduated before you were born, kid.

 

[petro]

That is why I use humor as much as possible to insult the Moonbat freaks of the site.
It seems to make them angrier instead of me.
If it ain't fun, it ain't worth being here.

That's nice. I still have some productive years left so don't be jealous

 

[Otis Mayfield]

It's good to take a news break every now and then.

Ditto! It's getting kind of like a game to predict how each poster will react to each taunt.

Lol.
That seemed kind of snarky...

Good for you for wanting to be a better person all the way around.

If only we were all able to complete the self-assessment and reflection necessary to arrive at the conclusion that we can do better.

Thank you.

Your dog needs more chew toys.

I think you would both be happier if you got him one of these.

 

[Indeependent]

You have many productive years left.

They are different?

All this time, I've just been thinking it was one retarded person with 156 socks.

I'd like one of those and my dog doesn't even play with toys.

My dog likes to chew on socks.


She is pretty particular, though, and only seems to want to do so when my feet are in them.

There are some slight differences. I think the ones that don't react when you get abusive are the bots.

Or they're just taking some time out for self abuse. You know, some people enjoy being slapped around.

 

[sparky]

hmmmm, i thought you were naturally irritable Gramps

~S~

 

[JOSweetHeart]

I don't blame you for walking away. The good thing is that you knew that a break was needed, and you did something about it. Some people never get to such a point no matter what the problem may be. I've learned that though certain people in my family alone.

God bless you and my family members who are still here always!!!

I actually noticed a change in you over the years Grampa.
It's hard not to get sucked into the swamp.
Good luck with your self-improvement.
Save yourself, it's too late for me!!!!!

Ask the mods here if they will permaban you. That way you can't come back to what is part of the problem.

There is one bot who never responds, but just keeps saying that conservatives are all bigots and racists. It has said this my thousands and thousands of times while claiming it is actually the other person who is indulging in a "hasty generalization" fallacy.

Between you and me, I think it must have been released as a beta version and just wasn't recalled when a more convincing one was hatched at the dnc troll farm.
