I forget which magazine published the article, I thought PopSci but couldn't find it, where the editor wrote something like: "We're no longer focusing on ideas about stopping man made climate change, we're going to focus on articles on surviving as a species in inevitable climate change." Which I think is the best thing smart people can do. Me and friends are working on saving for and designing a sustainable and (hopefully) climate proof farming co-op, because we don't see rational discussion or action ever happening and we aren't willing to just cook to death and be unprepared.

There were many 'opinion' and general trash journalism articles about Obama using the military to have a coup and stay in power or "hand the US over to the UN" (never even figured out wtf that even meant) and Fox has removed all of them from their site. The only evidence of them is responses from other news articles, like the thread that remains after a user deletes their comment.

Same, I'm mostly part of specific communities based around Europe/language/hydroponics which simply don't exist here and am here mainly out of spite and solidarity.

I'm saying this in earnest and very much not trying to be rude or edgy, but the fact is a lot of people don't think about me/you/us at all, they're reciting things they think are normal to people they aren't close with like talking about the weather. Realizing some of my relatives I care about don't actually want to get invested in my life to the point of knowing I'm gay was a very freeing moment. Like understanding my grandma is 95 and doesn't want to try sushi now. And she was fine learning I married a man, but she wouldn't have brought it up. Decentralizing yourself from other people and realizing you have much more of a free slate than you think can be very helpful.
