You know when you ignore things in life too long and they just start becoming chaos?
America!
We’re always up to something.
CT didn’t blow up, someone lit it on fire
Did they prove that yet? Seems like it would be on video and I haven’t seen any.
There are more sane comments here than on the “serious” news Lemmy.

“All this horrible shit happening has no pattern or coordination. We can ignore it” is a pretty bad take. Regardless of why these things happen they’re still tragic
no I think he was just being racist

The footprints of our shoes were already there You stole even the cat's food And you're still licking the plate Super pissed off with this ungrateful bunch Today I hit the drums hard Until they accuse me of mistreatment If you don't understand the fact Well, I throw it at you as cumbia, bossa nova, tango or vallеnato As calabó or bamboo, highly defiant With hot blood as Timbuktu We're insidе the menu 2Pac is called 2Pac, because of Túpac Amaru of Peru America isn't only the USA, pal This is from Tierra del Fuego to Canada You have to be so stupid, such an airhead It's like saying that Africa is only Morocco These scoundrels forgot that the calendar they use Was invented by the Mayans With the pre-Columbian Valdivia for a long time, uh This continent walks But even with all the marines They can't get the peasant plague out off the showcase This goes for the boss of the company The machete isn't just for cutting cane It's also for cutting heads Here we are, we always are We haven't left, we won't leave Here we are, so that you remember If you want it, my machete bites The paramilitaries, the guerrillas The children of the conflict, the gangs The blacklists, the false positives The murdered journalists, the disappeared The narco-governments, everything they stole Those who manifest and those who were forgotten The persecutions, the coups The bankrupt country, the exiles The devalued peso The drug trafficking, the cartels The invasions, the immigrants without papers Five presidents in eleven days Close range shooting at the hands of the police More than a hundred years of torture The Nova Trova singing in the midst of a dictatorship We are the blood that blows The atmospheric pressure Gambino, my brother, this really is America```
So, we moving Devil’s Night up?
Better hide in the subway, I’m sure it’s fine.
“Get off my train!”
Okay I’m here but they’re saying if I don’t buy a sandwich I have to go. (We don’t have public transportation here.)
What’s wrong with cybertruck on fire? I thought it was nice and symbolic.
I mean that’s obviously why he did it, but it was still a car bomb, not a malfunction.
so does that make all teslas car bombs now?
wait that actually happened?? I thought it was just a symbolic painting…
dude died in it.
yeah, it was real.
He got shot in the head too
Wait. I thought it just got caught fire because it’s a Tesla. What else happened?
he shot himself in the head immediately prior to the explosion, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_International_Hotel_Las_Vegas_Tesla_Cybertruck_explosion
Wow. Did he own it? Or rent it? Seems to be a lot to unpack here.
I’d reccomend having a read of the Wikipedia article. It has the answers you’re looking for. 😁
dang that sucks. RIP 🥲
Maybe because it injured 7 people?
Third world country things
First mass shooting in the US.
Unfortunately Montenegro beat us to the punch this year with a mass shooting killing 10 earlier yesterday.
But anything outside the US doesn’t count, maybe even doesn’t exist, according to a majority of US citizens.
It’s truly disturbing how common it is for 'Muricans to just forget and/or not care about anything outside the US. And even for things within the US, they forget timezones are a thing even though their own country has several.What the fuck, Montenegro, get your own thing. Something related to chain smoking probably.
Proposition to call lung cancer, Montenegrin cancer
12am Happy new year! 1am Friend an hour back: Now it’s new years Me: well, I’ve been in 2025 an hour and it seems uneventful, probably a good sign
I’m sorry for jinxing it, everyone
None of which happened in most people’s local areas. Stop reading national news on a regular basis. Focus on your small little life, your family, your neighborhood, your little area.
Of course when you cast a wide net nationally or globally, there will always be negative things happening, and then if you mainly focus on those events, you’ll act as if negative things are the only things.
It didn’t happen to me personally, so it’s fine! Stop paying attention!!
😬
He’s not wrong: if the topic isn’t within your circle of control, then worrying over it is just mentally masturbating to disaster porn.
The key is that the advice to ignore such things isn’t about advocating for blissful ignorance like you think it is. It’s that shrinking your circle of concern frees up your focus to grow your circle of control.
I think he is wrong because being informed and aware of what has happened in the world does not equate to “mentally masturbating to disaster porn”. We do have a real problem with sensationalized media, but the solution is not to just be uninformed…
I sometimes hear similar logic as an argument against things like funding science research: “Why spend money and time on a deep space observatory? We can never get to those places in space anyway”
Thank you for contributing better than I could. You said it very well.
Therefore I must pay attention to everything? People were not designed to be globally concerned constantly.
Stop getting scared by terrorism, a few dozen people is nothing compared to even mundane things like traffic deaths.
By this logic, every war is safer today than in all of human history, so who fucking cares.
/s
I mean, I get it, but this is the same logic that is sometimes used for school shootings. It’s abhorrent to ignore a large increase compared to other places just because it is still a small chance, and therefore do nothing.
I like making these less likely, but I know my government’s just gonna pump more money into cops and surveillance rather than do anything effective like making people less disenfranchised and desperate.
tbh i have been doing this since the election was done with in november ‘24 & i haven’t felt better! my feed is just tech & other interests w no national/global news & keyword filters for the bs the news pushes pretty heavy: trump, musk, bezos, israel, etc. it’s definitely helped me regain some of my sanity.
I learn most major news nowadays BECAUSE it’s a meme in an unrelated forum. There’s no point worrying about mega and sometimes global news events that you could literally do nothing about and often might not even affect you.
Just enjoy your life best you can and minimize that stress.
Good for you.
series name is Community btw. great series i watched when it was just out
I knew this year was gonna suck
