This is why I do read from Reuters.

The first step to your perspective is believing they’re actually telling you the truth.

I believe they lie about everything they say. There isn’t a shred of honesty in any GOP or Dem politician, and the news media, whichever side they represent, takes what they say at face value and run with it. Dumping tons of time and energy into deciphering their actual intentions or hopes is like trying to figure out how a magician did his trick without him ever telling you.

I find very little value in what is being uttered on any given website or podcast at this point because I’ve watched how we’ve devolved into infighting more and more to the point of violence and hate for my entire life. What kills me is that the biggest lie of my lifetime, 9/11, actually brought partisans together better than the lies of today could ever hope to. If you’re a Republican, you’re an NSDAP racist murder-complicit demon. If you’re a leftist, you’re a low impulse control, violent antifa-adjacent imbecile who can’t fathom biology or sexual-dimorphism with no understanding of how economics or compassion actually works.

You cannot be a partisan and participate in partisan politics if you ever want to live a peaceful life. You cannot consume partisan media and actually believe if if you ever want a better life. You cannot be a third party voter because your vote is monopolized away by the big two.

If you ever want to live outside of an echochamber, live at peace, raise your family, and fulfill your life’s goals, you must detach.

This is why I get my news from real people in real life or from the one exception, Reuters. Partisan politics is lame and has infected the entire domestic news industry to a point of being laughable.

I used to love NPR until I realized that they make their content for their hyper rich coastal elite donors and don’t actually care about rural heartland residents like myself. I don’t care at all about jazz music or political unrest in an unrecognized self proclaimed nation state, I want to know how we can get solar everywhere that corn fields destined to be turned into combustible fuel inhabit.

Hot take:

No matter how good or crap you think the traffic laws are in your place are, the best bet is to follow them because if you don’t you will likely have to pay a lot of money that you probably don’t have to just throw away. Speed limits are limits, meaning maximums, merging should go like a zipper, yielding to traffic already up to speed is safest, driving without substances impairing your body is safest.

Its quite simple but a lot of people think they should be allowed to rebel against the laws and get away with doing whatever they want because the rules shouldn’t apply to them specifically.

This is what the internet is for
