We are not supposed to be constantly know everything that is happening around the world, but we often are bombarded by the worst of the news. It's a mechanism that exacerbated many minds on filled them with anxiety, hate, negativity and destroyed optimism making everyone more and more cynical. Difficult to not get involved, directly or mentally by what happens and what you see and encounter.. reducing the amount of input probably is a solution. Touch grass, be under the rain..

Oijoi what happend to nostr . Man this is a good time to filter your followlist. Stack sats touch grass . Walk with your dogs. Make time for your fam and frens. And just be you . I'm surprised to see this herd mentality here. But that's just my opinion. When my brother and friend left us, I didn't see any reaction. And now I see people's reactions that make me think twice. Someone else's suffering isn't a reason to advertise or give it attention. You can keep your opinion to yourself in some situations. Sometimes you don't have to express something. Keep smiling keep it weird and have a great day Amigo 🍀🌽👌

Yes, indeed, that's it!! Sometimes it's still too early for me here. Just like Node's post, it's very ambiguous. Certain feelings are still being triggered here. Very confronting. My nephew is coming again tonight. And yes, children need a father. I know that as an uncle. And try to raise that little one with a Bitcoin standard. Standards and values, and above all, respect for yourself and others. But with good manners. And not just wanting to follow or join in because everyone else does. That's how my brother would have wanted it too!! A private life is a happy life 🍀🫂🌟
It's why i have not read of viewed any news for over a year and a half now. You name just one of many reasons. Others include: - To make money from news you have to mostly sell ads, so only news which draws a lot of clicks is worth posting and makes for clickbait headlines only to be nuanced away in the actual article. - Gell-man amnesia effect: When reading a news article in a field of your expertise you often find a lot of flaws in it, yet when you read something which is not in your field of expertise you accept it as the truth. - It costs a lot of time and you gain nothing of value. Name the 5 most important news items of last month. I bet nothing comes to mind.

Sorry to hear that. It sucks if you work your ass off on something that in the end seems to be not so well received by others. I am not saying there is no place for journalism but things happening on the other side of the world, or even on the other side of my ultra small country have zero effect on my life in general, so there is really no reason for me to read it and get upset (or in a very sporadic case, excited) about. Just build-up emotions which have no outlet. I see news articles just like scientific papers. It's great to have them if you are trying to understand or learn a new thing. Good reference material for sure, but there is no reason to absorb all produced news as it is happening right now. If you are not doing any investigation or research on political conflicts in europe you would not have to know about a conflict between russia and ukraine, yet this gets planted every day in your face from an opinionated perspective in such a way that you start caring about it until it gets old and dull even though it is no improvement for any of the people since the start of that conflict. Less money is made so you have to find something new that captures your audience so you can make money. It is just a form of entertainment.
Muito bizarro como os Protestos Violentos no Nepal e o Assassinato de Charlie Kirk virou o Nostr de cabeça pra baixo! Sério, saiam do Nostr, saiam da internet, desliguem o celular, o notebook, a TV, desliga tudo mesmo por esses dias Saude mental é tudo essa vida e essa semana foi muito pesada, principalmente para os jovens. #mentalhealth #bemestar #saudemental #health #nostr View quoted note →

its just what happens when a wall of lies crumbles and a tsunami of truth washes over the people... the intitial internal reaction for many will be extreme... but it will be absorbed, processed, and refined into a calculated weapon thats is wielded not with rage, but with a cool and confident precision. westerners are so pacified they dont have a clue what "hate" is... many of these fucking knobs call charlie kirk hate - call not wanting little boys doctors to mutilate their gender or scramble their hormones hate... so... ahhhh... what in the hell are we really talking about? ... in a society of faggots like that, you cant even make a reasonable analysis or prediction, honestly.
