Don’t you think it’s quite ironic that the subject I’m trying to avoid is being discussed in this post?
It’s perfectly on form for a modern citizen of a Western country to confuse denial and avoidance as inner peace.
Nope. I’ve had a script with upwards of 100 regex’s that automatically blacklisted upwards of 200 people every time I opened Twitter. Two years in and upwards of 300.000 accounts in the blacklist, I realized that it didn’t even make a dent in dealing with all of the spam I was seeing, and just deleted my account. Best decision ever. I advice you too, to try it out.
i have a bunch of these too. i like politics, just not the us vs them US bullshit.
good on you for making lemmy more bearable on US election season.
The list is missing the words “Poll” and “AI”.
Well the good news is, if you ignore Palestine it will eventually go away.
oof
“I’m not interested in politics”
Add “linux” to that list and your front page will be empty.
No way. There’s always star trek.
And beans
And pessimistic negativity. So much negativity against everything.
Not unjustified but still depressing negativity. You don’t know about something like r/eyebleach (I think that’s the cute one?)?There’s an uncute one?
r/eyeblech i believe
Can’t forget beans.
It’s funny how many Americans don’t realize that there are people living life outside the US that also have access to the internet and Lemmy.
As someone living in an area where I can literally walk into 3 different countries (even if I need to hike a few hours) I cannot wrap my head around that exceptionalism.
If you’re not American then who let you on our internet?
Get your own internet.
It’s a government conspiracy. They did let in all the dirty foreigners just so they can tell you personally: America bad!
Yeah but our elections are also stupidly consequential. It doesn’t help our ego any though.
We’re too insulated to care too much, because it mostly doesn’t affect our day to day lives. And we have a pretty big election coming up in like 6 weeks, so it makes sense that most Americans online would talk about that.
Can’t remember the last time Germanys, Netherlands, Polands or any other election was this much or long in the news.
Not to mention Asian (excluding middle east because they are news non-stop) or African (not affiliated with middle eastern conflicts).Hell even Canads or Mexicos is much of any debate…
God please let us put a fucking leash on these assholes dominating our time. I don’t want to be convinced non-stop that you’re voting in my best interest, I want to see my best interests enacted. I want a representative democracy that allows me to trust that my representatives are going to represent my community as a whole, not some twisting tendril of black or white districts intended to game the system. And it’s so fucking absurd that we have somehow convinced ourselves that our Constitution intended for corporations to be treated as people or for money to be treated as free speech. Millions and billions spent convincing us that millions and billions need to be spent. It’s complete lunacy and we’re all cool with it?
sees propaganda from transnational corps, the Kremlin, and CCP
“Why are the american people assaulting me with this garbage!”
did you want treats for filtering out news on genocide
Forgot Vance.
Then I would lose Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration posts 🤔
Ok, good.
Oh. That means you’ll have some time on your hands for me to tell you about Arch Linux…
LMFAO. This made me laugh out loud.
To be clear, it is fully inclusive of lady-balls as well:-).
Fair fair 😂
Don’t forget game news though. And shitposts.
And naked people.
Where???
Do go on.
Also behold these pictures of dudes in socks
I guess you are speaking of theses beautiful girls, on unixsocks
You joke but I’ve actually been considering it. Should I elaborate further or was that not a real offer of information?
Hahaha thanks for the chuckle! This got me 😄
*Our lord and savior Arch Linux
btw
BREAKING NEWS: Musk posts misleading video blaming Netanyahu’s Gaza strike on Harris, causing The Donald to call on Vlad to intervene
I would not want to hide posts about Vlad the Impaler
Get it straight. Its Vlad, the Defenstrater.
I think they are okay with content regarding the historic Impaler. They just don’t care too much about the modern day defenestrator.
I wish desktop lemmy had this.
Ignore the haters OP, your mental health is important and if these topics are making you feel burnt out, then you are more than justified in tuning them out for a while. Don’t be guilt tripped into staying perpetually outraged.
I’m not interested in US politics and Elon. I care about the Israel/Palestinian problem, but I don’t want to feel sorry for this situation every day, even though I don’t have a bit of power to solve the situation. Thank you for your understanding.
