Also, no, you don’t NEED to get fired from a job nor should you. It may not negatively impact your future, especially if it was one time and a shit job early on in life, and sometimes it happens because of shit you can’t control, but the idea that it gives you “cred” or “experience” is fucking dumb.

“When I asked people their thoughts on climate change, everyone had the same answer. They said it doesn’t matter what’s causing it. They are sick of hearing debates about human-caused or natural cycles. They want people to open their eyes and see what’s happening to Tangier.”

Seems unlikely, but I dunno. Or care. We have a kid and she certainly seemed to be down for that, so *shrug*

Probably. Makes sense enough, but then, my in-laws were married happily for 40+ years and one was a hippie dem who voted for Bernie and one was a born-again Christian who was a hardline republican, so who knows?

Nope.

No one is assassinating a US special investigator during an investigation on the say so of the president. We are not living in a Tom Clancy novel.

Never cared for Kipling.

A lot of people like me marched for Occupy Wall Street.

“People in power listen to people like you...”

Speaking only for myself, I’m a straight white dude 18-35. Nobody’s looking to make me a millionaire, but I’m probably gonna be OK either way.

It’s not an eggshells/comfort thing. We just don’t care.

Life? Opinions?

Well, agree to disagree on that first point.

Yup. I mean, if you’re the kind of person who considers EVERYTHING to be “politics,” then I guess we do/have, because I know her views on gay marriage and civil rights and whatnot, but we’ve never discussed who we do/should vote for, pending legislation/SC cases, tax reform, Trump, etc.

We are, maybe? I don’t vote and I know she does, but I don’t care how or why.

Nope. None of it matters much to us as a unit or family.

I dunno. We just... Don’t.

Nope.

Life? Our jobs? Our kid?

Fun fact: my wife and I have been together 10+ years and have no idea what each other’s politics are. Never felt the need to discuss it.
