People here will literally tell you “I don’t want to hear about it” but then complain about the gas prices. It feels like a total Don’t Look Up moment.

    Because I’ve been hearing about wars and chaos for decades now. I hear about this stuff literally everywhere. I’m aware of it. I don’t need it shoved in my face 24/7. It’s exhausting.

    It’s also addictive for a lot of people. They get so engaged with this stuff online that they neglect their real lives. That’s not healthy.

      addictive

      Go fuck yourself. Staying abreast of current events (especially horrifying ones committed by your own government against other nations on your behalf) isn’t “addiction,” it’s called being a responsible person. Pull your head out of your ass.

      This IS your real life. You need to start paying attention.

            I just don’t get how you could read my original comment and think I’m some ostrich sticking my head in the sand. I follow current events, I just don’t obsess over them with every spare moment of my free time.
