Basically an AMA, but not completely centered around TF2 since I stopped really (actively) playing after Crack Clan. More or less it would be an AMA with someone that is turning 30 on the 16th, spent 10+ years in post high secondary education (undergrad, grad school, some Law school, and finishing PhD), has dealt with abuse, parents using drugs, multiple divorce with both parents, spent most of my life in relationships but struggled with cheating on SO, over consumption with alcohol, growing up as part of the "working poor", anything about working in politics or politics in general. I have more, but I figured that would be a start.
Some may ask, why not post this on reddit? First, I don't really like reddit and secondly, I know more people within the TF2 community so I would rather answer questions that *could* help others. There has been a lot of topics about depression and other related topics so I figured it may help. It should be noted that I do not have depression, but my wife has both depression and OCD, so I see it from another POV.
I don't know the best way to handle if there is interest, other than frags I guess, so I guess I will gauge it from that.
Other jobs before politics was IT and multiple generations that worked in restaurants (myself included until about 6 years ago)
It should be noted that I will still answer TF2 related questions too

Ok, it seems that people would be interested. While I do have to work tomorrow, I will make another thread tonight for questions and answer them starting around 1PM EST. I think we have a double header tomorrow, so I may stop answering when that starts but if people are still asking I will keep going Thursday.
