He’s suggesting balancing the content. If all you read is terrible, outrage inducing news, yes, you’re life is far worse off. It’s outside our your sphere of influence and reading the same news for the third time won’t make you more informed.
The only thing it will do is make you feel angry, helpless, and less understanding of nuance. Keep it going for longer enough and, congratulations, you’ve radicalized yourself.

Also known as an echo chamber.

I think Spaz ate him.
- Comment on George Miller Reveals How Many Visual Effects Are in Furiosa 4 weeks ago:
It’s a refreshing change to hear this. Ever since that one video essay I just can’t take directors and actors seriously when they espouse that their film has (almost) no CGI or VFX in it.

Hmm, let’s see… Yeah, that’d be okay.
You really had no idea where the swastika came from, did you?
You also don’t understand the purpose of the satanic church.

According to Christians, not Satanists

I have an axe to grind with fakespot. My wife has a tiny business and is one of the most honest and sweet people I know. She would never pay for fake reviews and she wouldn’t even have the knowledge on how to do so. Someone (not even us, mind you) posted a link to her product on Reddit and a Fakespot robot instantly called her out for supposedly having suspicious reviews, even though each and every order (and thus each and every review resulting from that) was legit. Her product was then mocked and all it did was give my wife stress.
So yeah, take them with a grain of salt. They are probably pretty good on average but some innocent people get caught in it as collateral damage.

- Comment on Former Fable devs reveal a new co-op RPG, then announce its development is on hold amid layoffs 2 months ago:
I read it, but there’s no way of telling how many OGs are still involved, they’re just talking about the studio as a whole.

The developers behind Fable card game spin-off Fable Fortune
A bit of a stretch to call them Fable devs…

Sorry, it’s only possible in a FOSS client, they’re way better…

Ah yes, Belgian Congo, famously Dutch
- Comment on Tesla’s Sales Drop, a Sign That Its Grip on the E.V. Market Is Slipping | Sales of the company’s electric cars dropped in the first three months of the year, even as other automakers sold more 2 months ago:
Could it be a sign that people are just weary of buying Musk’s cars specifically because they are sick of his shit?
- Comment on Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can? 2 months ago:
You may be a perfectionist who’s so afraid of failure that it currently (rationally or irrationally) outweighs the motivation to succeed by a significant margin. You’d like to do some bigger things in life but you self-sabotage by distracting yourself because the thought of actually doing things is way too scary / stressful.
- Comment on CFCs 3 months ago:
You do realize that “counting from 1900” meant storing only the last two digits and just hardcoding the programs to print"19" in front of it in those days? At best, an overflow would lead to 19100, 1910 or 1900, depending on the print routines.
- Comment on My phone's dictionary thinks the word "expanse" only exists as a show title 5 months ago:
It’s more that your phone has one accidentally registered you typing it capitalized and remembered it as a “name”, deleting that suggestion allows it to reverts to the non-capitalized version.
- Comment on My phone's dictionary thinks the word "expanse" only exists as a show title 5 months ago:
Long press on the wrong suggestion usually gives you an option to delete it from the dictionary.

Add SponsorBlock for in-video sponsors while you’re at it!

It could be called a dark pattern?
- Comment on Seek relief 7 months ago:
… but not too often.
If you have regular headaches, see a doctor. Could be hay fever or other allergies for example and there’s stuff that works much better for that than painkillers.
