I’m in this photo and I don’t like it.
I always have two phones going, one I’m playing a world building game on, the other just whatever. Sometimes while watching TV on my tablet. It’s very much not healthy but it’s the only thing preventing me from weeping because things are bad.
It’s a good thing I’m a Pink Floyd fan because I am comfortably numb.
Or is that the dissociation talking so I can get through the next week, at least? Eh, six of one, half dozen of the other.
Meanwhile, the media I consume:
- Inevitable global warming catastrophe
- War in Ukraine
- Genocide in Gaza
- Genocide in Sudan
- Funny cat videos
- Unbridled late stage capitalism
- Nobody can afford to live
- Billionaires making even more billions
- Rampant fascism
Ok that’s enough for today…
I think this describes most of Lemmy, which explains why this place is full of miserable bastards.
I think you misspelled “the internet”
Better miserable bastards than fascists
Nah man.
Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, Facebook, Instagram, Imgur, etc.
There’s always been terrible things going on, but now the internet allows us to inundate ourselves with news daily.
Don’t forget the classics:
- AI voice describing a mildly interesting video and injecting false information
- Podcast snippet with Minecraft Parkour or GTA racing at the bottom
- Movie or Series scene with one of those 5 shitty songs placed on top.
Same. Damn.
Me after feeling attacked by the post and seen by your comment.
