  • I think the way we consume news has gotten incredibly unhealthy. The rush to know things as fast as possible has lowered the quality of news, and mixing the news into your entertainment feed of the entire day might be weird for our brain.

    I feel you though. There’s shitty things happening in the world and it doesn’t seem like it’s helpful to anyone for me to know about every little instance. I wish I could just get detailed stories for local news, and just get general stats for national stuff.





  • The US adult population is something like 260 million, and Trump has like 73 million votes.

    Tons of those people also had to deal with votor suppression, and I even had to manually cure my ballot this year because my “signature didn’t match” supposedly (as did 5 other people I know who dropped off at the same location).

    We’ve also been under a huge amount of propaganda and some people are literally living in separate realitites where their enemies are ridiculous evil characatures.

    Like… I get it. It’s hard to feel good towards America right now, and lots of those people who didn’t vote deserve a lot of this blame. But is it really that rational to throw the rest of America under the bus?

    At the very least, just help the people around you. Just be a person and participate in your community. You don’t need to put a bunch of time and energy into political activism, but work done to help local communities is never wasted.
