Slashdot is one of two "news" sites I read, the second being primarily video game based site.

That's actually rather frightening. There aren't more like you out there, I hope.

I certainly fucking hope there's no more of me running around.

Otherwise my secret is fucked.

I can't let people know the secrets of spending more time doing things that make me happy, and less time worrying about the world around me.

The world at large, foreign affairs, and global happenings, have yet to smack me in the back of the head for ignoring them... yet. So, I'll cross my fingers, and pray to probability, that they do so soon, and bring me to my senses, that I should devote more time to reading/watching the news.

This is what you want, yes?

Honestly, I don't care for the most part. I'm 21, I work anywhere from 36 to 54 hours a week. I have better things to do with my free time, like, things that are enjoyable, and I have things I care about more than the "news" on any given day. The only reason I'm currently spending even this much time on a news site is that my current job has a fair amount of dead time where I can browse online, while nothing is busy. If the news floats your boat that much, more power to you. Otherwise keep it in your pants chief, cause I aint having any of it.

It's kinda hard to not have a pretty good idea about what's going on in the world around you unless you literally live in a cave. I get my daily news second-hand from my co-workers, and at my second job, dealing with customers. I'd have to try extra hard to IGNORE the world around me.

Why you needed to be a douchecock and say that, I can only guess. But if I wanted to be told to watch/read the news more, and how important current events are, I'd go to an old folks home. As it stands, the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, are all the news I want/need.
