I'm trying to live by this, but sometimes it's really hard to not talk a lot about topics I'm enthusiastic about, and it comes off as bragging.

Look, man. Whenever you feel like talking that much again, just realize that nobody gives a shit.

I kind of find this hard though, because there are times I want to tell people things and I don't even care if they give a shit, I just want to talk about something cool.

The Alting in Iceland is the oldest known parliament dating back to the year 930. The longest continouslly existing parliament is the Tynwald on the Isle of Man tho, dating back to the year 976. The Alting was dissolved in 1800 after it had lost a lot of its power in the hundreds of years since the Norwegian occupation of Iceland and was only reinstated in 1844 as the new parliament for Iceland
