I'll be honest, I don't even want to read articles anymore. Its just crazy cabinet nominees every time. Wars happening. Nothing I can control. I just post something sarcastic or jokes in the comments. The only thing I care is if a hurricane is headed in my direction.

Y'all actually read all this shit? How does anyone have the energy?

I try to, when I have the time, but I don't sweat it if I don't, I just try to avoid forming too many opinions about the topic.

Also, a good chunk of the time I try, I get paywalled. Which I can usually bypass if I'm on PC, but that's not really feasible on mobile.

Props to all the heroes copying the article into the post, or pointing out when the headline is misleading.

I don't, I just try to avoid forming too many opinions about the topic.

The best way to handle most things in life. Do what you want, just always assume you know nothing about a topic.
