Opinion War Room -- Procrastination, Masturbation

When im not at my Pc i dont look at this forum at all. Amount of popup ads the mobile version has stopped me browsing this website on my phone back around 2012'sh.

Outside of major national/international news that happened i avoid browsing and posting in this subforum. Amount of dishonest daily posting that occurs here isnt good for ones mental health.
 
I mainly watch for entertainment and occasionally post, but it can get too time consuming ti get engaged so I keep it to a minimum. I think I just get the dopamine rush from the whole arguing thing because in my actual life I have too much going on to really care about what the president is doing or whatever. Politics is far from an important part of my life.
 
Honest question for the War Room -- and I mean this in the most genuinely curious way possible.

How much of your actual life does this place take up? Not “I pop in between sets at the gym” time -- I’m talking real cognitive real estate. -- Marvel blip? Probably didn't even read this far.

Like… when yer at work, in the shower, lying in bed (and i'm watching you) -- or arguing with someone in the real world -- how often are you replaying arguments from here, reworking posts you already made, or pre-writing replies to shit that hasn’t even been posted yet? ( How many of ya just wish you could copy + paste Occupy Democrats or the same fuckin' Twitter and not get busted) -- The same orange man bad YT bullshit for a decade?

Because reading some of these takes -- they don’t feel tossed off -- they feel fuckin' labored. As if a non-trivial amount of human time was spent stress-testing a forum post that’ll be forgotten by lunch. By the time yer poopin' lunch out, yer lookin' back at a thread like "well... I gotta flush twice now..."

I ain't judging -- I’m honestly curious where this ranks in the hierarchy of things that matter in your day. Background noise? -- Mild hobby? Something closer to a second job that doesn’t pay, doesn’t build skills -- and only exists to impress the same 30 people over and over? -- Bored at work? Jerkin' it to a fav site other than this one?

You probably have nothing better to do than to add to that narrative anyways. So say it loud 'n proud, eh?
- I love talking about politics. It's depend, somedays i spend hours reading here, others i spend only oner hour maybe.
 
this is one of the least-biased political forums i have found. there are people here from all across the spectrum. for that reason i enjoy reading the discussion several times a week, although i rarely participate.
