Wait what's happened in New York?
10 shot outside of a club in queens, ages 16-20
First mass shooting in the US.
Unfortunately Montenegro beat us to the punch this year with a mass shooting killing 10 earlier yesterday.
What the fuck, Montenegro, get your own thing. Something related to chain smoking probably.

You know when you ignore things in life too long and they just start becoming chaos?
America!
Are the Americans ok?
New Years RESOLUTIONS, RESOLUTIONS, not revolutions....
On the second thought, continue.
I'm just happy they're finally acknowledging that domestic terrorism is a thing, even if its just to avoid looking hypocritical because of Luigi Mangione
Finally? Didn't Homeland Security or the FBI come out in the mid 2000s to warn that the most serious terror threat would be the domestic one?
I think this is the year where I force myself to stop paying attention to current events and completely disconnect
Do it, it’s amazing
Humans aren't evolved for information overload like this. It rots our brain
This is America https://youtu.be/VYOjWnS4cMY?si=KEwPZoaQuM2uutYZ

Don't catch you slippin' now
- us telecoms hacked (again) by China? 😅
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.
Therefore I must pay attention to everything? People were not designed to be globally concerned constantly.
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.
Third world country things
So.. Just another day in America?
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
Better hide in the subway, I’m sure it’s fine.
"Get off my train!"
We're always up to something.
See what has happened is that the right didn't have any faith in the government, and now the left doesn't either.
So, violent extremism is now the standard. Might Makes Right is the new system for these idiots. The Chinese propaganda is winning, we're killing our own.
The reason we don't have any faith in government is because big corpo bought it because Reagan sold it and convinced both parties to keep it sold ever since.
Since the beginning of civilization, to know who's to blame, you need only look at the richest fucks profiting most from it. The well bribed, revolving door middle managers in DC ain't it.
Tolerance of greed, private shareholders demanding a firesale to goose the next quarter, growth/metastasis at all costs instead of equilibrium, the capital markets are what have destroyed us.
CT didn't blow up, someone lit it on fire
There are more sane comments here than on the "serious" news Lemmy.
Did they prove that yet? Seems like it would be on video and I haven't seen any.
I knew this year was gonna suck
