Try to find meaning in whatever works for you. A lot of people find this in things like relationships, family, hobbies, interests and activism. Essentially, don’t let the bastards grind you down. Existential philosophy may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it can be helpful in navigating these kinds of issues.

There’s this app called cranky uncle and it goes through things like this and then helps to you learn how to identify them. It was developed by a university researchers in Australia with the aim of improving people’s ability to recognise misinformation

Firstly I just want to say that this is really interesting post and I love that you’ve asked this question.

I think life is maybe similar to being in a long term relationship. There are times when every little thing life does annoys you or times where it’s just eh and you realise you need to actively spice things up. And then there are times when you are completely overcome by joy thinking about how much you love life, how much you’ve been through together, and how excited you are to spend the rest of your lives together.

If you’re looking for a suggestion on spicing things up I highly recommended jumping into some existential philosophy. It’s like the intellectual equivalent of a roller coaster I guess.

I’m also sick of their bullshit algorithms and the whole engagement strategy of amplifying hate.

I felt this way at first but the more time you spend away from reddit the more you realise how toxic of a place it is. I initially had planned to stay on there because I have communities on reddit that don’t exist here. But I just couldn’t do. The vibe on kbin / lemmy is just so much better and it feels refreshing to explore the internet in a new way. Reddit feels stagnant and gross in comparison now.

Hopefully a step in the right direction towards a more sensible approach to drugs overall.

Looks like he’s the internet’s new boyfriend. Keanu must be devastated.

I’m having a similar experience in realising how much toxicity I’ve normalised on reddit. Going back on there now feels so absurd.
