After so long I've learned to pick my fights, yeah. There are too many assholes out there that think their easy cynicism and solipsistic mindsets have got the world figured out. Everyone else is just too stupid to see that everything sucks, man, so who gives a shit. But that's cowardice under the guise of callousness. I don't take people like that seriously.

It's people who can remain positive and hopeful and keep doing what they do who are the real heroes. Those are the people worth talking to. Guys whose lifestyles likely consist of band shirts and edgy comic books (see: the Internet at large) are not usually part of this group.
