I no longer actively watch news, helps immensely.

And I incidentally got involved in a small local community group recently, helps keeping me grounded by reminding me that local happenings are important too, and it also gives much quicker results when it comes to any kind of activism.

Don’t forget that Reddit was made up of 90% lurkers, and less than 1% of active posters, the rest would comment but rarely post themselves. These numbers are great if we keep those statistics in mind

Wtf is happening in these comments

News are sporadically placed in-between shows, usually at set times, and ads exist just to give a quick overview over whatever will be reported on, which is basically a very summarized version of the reports, which means we’re back at me not being able to escape the news depression vortex.

Yes, but there’s a difference between hearing the news as background noise and actively looking for it

Mood, haven’t owned a TV in 3 years, my mental health has never been better

Absolutely, my mother thought she was doing great by parenting me to live the childhood she never could, problem was, I was my own person, and absolutely not interested in experiencing all the things she never could.

My dad on the other hand treated me akin to a roommate (his words), which is not ideal for a teenager trying to learn basic life skills.

Tbh you can absolutely go “budget” with a VR setup if you want. Joy cons, a Google Cardboard headset and Riftcat (debatable, haven’t checked the scene in a while), are the only things you need to pay for. There are drivers to have Joycons be interpreted as VR controllers, and voila you got yourself a cobbled together VR setup.

Do a CTRL+F search for Hexbear Accounts, if you can’t find any, your instance is defederated from them

Also can’t forget them getting offended over /c/196 because they have a “no tankies” rule, which apparently is a slur for them

You forgot to censor a company name in the reply, which can be easily used to find the exact issue on Github

Just because your attention span and memory are lacking doesn’t mean everyone else’s is.

This movie is a good way to show what half of humanity is going through in their day-to-day life, would you really call that a “non-pressing issue”?

I understand if the story being used to deliver the message isn’t your cup of tea, but simply disregarding what some would call an important and half of humanity affecting issue, is quite rude.

Please remember there is more to do in the world than to just concentrate on one issue at a time, and this movie is simply one small move for women to sit in a theater and to point out “Yes, I know that experience, and I hate it as well”.

An interesting way to look at it, is that this movie is similar to what superhero movies are to men, with a lot of ironic “womensplaining” memes popping up on several different social medias. If you really don’t like it, just think of it as the first Avengers movie but for women. Maybe that helps understand it a little better.

I myself like using a mod so that it automatically repairs itself

Created mine on feddit.de to get the german equivalent of Catastrophe as a username. And also because I live in Germany
