pinky0926 06/21/20 6:51:02 PM #1:	For the longest time it felt like a fun little distraction from every day tribulations, but at the moment it just feels like a poison in life. I can't go on any news site, social media site or even nonsense content aggregator without it being immediate bad vibes. I caught up with a friend the other day for the first time in 3 months - we just had a coffee - and it felt like being reborn all over again.

Jabodie 06/21/20 6:55:46 PM #6:	In general? No. But in the quarantine period? Kinda. I definitely burned through most of my video game enthusiasm.

Stalolin 06/21/20 7:06:56 PM #8:	It's a tricky balance between wanting to stay informed and not wanting to go crazy. It's like this Jon Stewart quote I posted a little while ago, from a recent interview: "Its like porn. I dont mean that to be flip. When you were pubescent, the mere hint of a bra strap could send you into ecstasy. Im 57 now. If its not two nuns and a mule, I cant even watch it. Do you understand my point? The algorithm is not designed for thoughtful engagement and clarity. Its designed to make you look at it longer." Not just political things but any kind of bad news, outrage, hot takes, etc. etc. Sometimes I do feel like it's poisoning my brain, but now that restrictions are easing more where I am I'm able to get away from it more easily. <cite>Stalolin posted [p:941037815] in Anyone els...

darkmaian23 06/21/20 8:06:07 PM #14:	Jabodie posted... But in the quarantine period? We aren't even done with the first wave of COVID-19, and there are serious concerns that it is possible to be infected more than once. The United States still isn't doing any of the things it needs to be able to do to reopen safely without killing a lot of people because politics. It really isn't over. But on the subject of this topic specifically, I think the problem is that 2020 has been a shitty year for everyone, at least in the US. <cite>darkmaian23 posted [p:941040299] in Anyone els...
