Why I wont watch the news

This world is shit. I think we all know that. Stupid people want to ruin it for all of us... I think I'm one of the few people who would be happy to just get in a rocket and leave this planet behind me.

Every time I watch the news, I always get depressed. It's always about something bad happening in the world. Be it stupid people trying to run this country or terrorists blowing up something or some propaganda. I don't trust any news source. I don't care if you think it's republican, liberal, or the BBC. They're all terrible...

Why can't someone report on good things? I wish I could name some good things...

So yeah, cause of my depression, I wont touch news sources. Not that it stops me from hearing stuff down the grape vine... And when I say news sources, I mean stuff like Fox News, CNN, BBC, MSNBC, whatever.

Yeah mainstream news is like that. I dont know about your country but in Australia, there's always those ABC news which have better reports on happier news. Well what from I remember lol But that's usually on the weekends, something like a 60 minute kind of thing

do you want the sort of news that shows you a youtube vid of a cat rubbing itself against a procupine or armadillo, whatever animal that was.

I distrust any news that is 'good' as it is inevitably some youtube clip (as mentioned above) or a mundane so-called 'human interest' story that always leads me to believe something that actually affects us is being overlooked in favour of it.
The very point of news is that it is the bad stuff that most affects people- I do not want to find out how a lottery winner will spend their new found millions as he is not me

That first sentence is exactly why I don't watch the news either. The world is shit, I know it. The news just confirms it every time, so what's the point in it.

It isn't just news that I start watching very little of. I rarely watch TV in general nowadays because too much of it is garbage.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
