đđđđđCan you relate?
over_cloxYup. It seems the news is like 90% bad news, 5% weather, and 5% sports.
Take the sports however you will, but the weather is getting even worse lately, so thatâs basically 95% bad news.
Oh thereâs always some chucklefuck punching his girlfriend or driving his Lambo 200 mph through a school zone so itâs probably more like 97-98% tbh
We need to revive that word⌠chucklefuckâŚ
jballsand 5% sports
I am a Broncos fan, so weâre sitting at a solid 100% bad news.
Is there a difference?
Por que no los dos?
Do nothing about? Wat :| I do not understand.
âBad newsâ is not the issue. âThe ongoing deterioration of both my rights and my standard of livingâ is the issue!
Glad weâre no longer calling it âempathy fatigueâ thatâs just one aspect of it. âBurn outâ is much closer to what it is.
Iâve literally never heard that term in my life.
Yeah Iâm right on the edge of disconnecting from any kind of news completely. Iâm helpless to do anything and itâs all bad, I just want blissful ignorance. I spent 2 weeks hiking Canadian Rockies with basically no phone service and it was the happiest Iâve been in years. Fucking climate is going down the toilet, trump is still allowed to breathe air, the far and alt right are gaining traction everywhere in the world, Putin is a shit stain, the Supreme Court are a bunch of crooks, etc etc etc, everything is eroding to shit.
LucidlethargyWhen the world goes dark, sometimes we have to become lights. We may be dim by ourselves, but enough of us can change things.
We may not be able to fix a dying government, or a world thatâs largely forgotten the horrors of war, but we can help today in our community, and locally.
It may not be enough, but itâs something. Maybe those of us aware enough to be frozen in frustration, disappointnent, and even fear by todayâs events need this the most. Become a light to someone, some people, or many.
I guess this is a journey of a thousand steps sort of thing, which aims to avoid the death by a thousand cuts.
Swedneckthe world we live in seems unfixably fucked, but our ancestors lived through feudalism and kings for way longer and even made it through the black death without society crumbling to pieces, things even got better afterward!
The united workers of the 1920âs gave us this absolute gem of a verse:
"In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, Greater than the might of armies, multiplied a thousand-fold. We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong."I havenât read or watched the news for almost a decade now. I recommend it.
I do hate when people put the news in memes though, that ruins my streak.
Obsessing about all those bad things, instead of the things you can change, is not helpful, though.
TrickDacyUse a goddamned question mark.
At this point its not so much a question as it is a statement
Invert the subject and verb and my response woulda just been a nod
Can you rewrite what you mean? My brain hurts
They mean the author should have used âyou areâ instead of âare youâ to make it a statement instead of a question.
âare youâ equals question, except there was no question mark.
ObiniceWhich god are you invoking, though
Huhâ˝
FozzyOsbourneWhat you can do about it is stop gobbling up all the bad news you can see in this âI hate it but I canât stop watchingâ way. Things have always been shit, the only difference is that youâve now got a live feed of it in your pocket which you donât want to put down.
gmtomI saw this post sandwiched between an article about the supreme court ruling and an article about how the far right is likely to get a majority in France.
Yeah, but the difference is France will go crazy and actually start cutting heads off until they are not the majority.

HolzkohlenDespair seems like a reasonable reaction to me.
SuavevillainDespair and having no time to even improve your own life due to endless grind to survive.
Flying SquidAgreed.
Did you guys actually think you could make a difference before?? That is so sweet đĽš
Do not go gentle into that good night.
I have ADHD. The answer is both.
Isnt that kinda the definition of burn out
If your psyche cannot handle that neverending barrage yes, you are burned out
