With algorithms dangerously telling you what you want to hear on your smartphone I've just told all my social media that I'm not interested. Any post on facebook that foolishly is fake news I scroll passed and look for friends updates on their own lives.
Been close to losing a couple of friends because of what social media has done. They've not changed but I have and those relationships have survived. It's just when they attempt to feed me what they've read, I tell them something very stupid and they get irritated (I'm willing to share that if someone has got this far, because it's changed my life)
I hear very bigoted things at work which I just assume is bulls**t based on that persons history of hating.
I stopped listening to Radio Five Live during covid because of people phoning up after 12am and suggesting people who won't wear a mask in shops should have fingers removed.
Media and Social media is just a hate zone sucking on the negative parasites who are stupid enough to absorb it.
I've also quit 6 music because I don't understand why a niche music station needs to update me on the 'news/bulls**t' every half hour.
My radio alarm is now Smooth Chill because it doesn't have any news.
