Usually at some point I end up checking the news thread, get really depressed, and that stops the spiral.

Heaps of respect to the news threads peeps, but their convos are often intense af. Like:

poster 1: I can't believe that Slovenia would import the F-21s

poster 2: No they were actually unporting F-23s [links 4 different sites to prove it]

poster 3: No you're both wrong. Slovenia is just in your imagination. [links detailed Telegram thread which proves their point inconclusively.

poster 1: I am ashamed to call myself a leftist. I will deny myself food for 3 days as punishment.

poster 2: [deletes account to join a monastery]
