If you purposefully avoid watching news and content designed to upset you. Step into this thread.

Congratulations on understanding that your anger is being used for others to make money.

Protect your peace. Recognize your time is a valuable resource that doesn't come back when it's spent.

Protecting my peace has been my priority for 2+ years now. No biased news, no shock media, and no trash people. If someone's energy is off, I keep them the fukk away.

outrage is a gold mine

Watching and paying attention to real news stories about mass shooters or wars is one thing. Giving light to the cesspool of miserable posts from twitter is another.

All facts. One of the best secrets of life to maintaining your peace of mind.

Even here on the coli , I read certain thread titles and say nah I ain't clicking on that garbage.

Also the older I get I see that there's nothing wrong with being "judgemental". Im not saying walk around wagging your finger at people and preaching at people....I'm saying IN YOUR OWN MIND having a set of rules that you abide by when it comes to people you do or don't allow into your life.

For example, people who use profanity alot I tend to avoid. More than likely if you can't talk without using profanity you're a hothead and/or have little to no respect for yourself and others. Excessive profanity can be a sign of the demon within.

Having a laundry list of "red flags" when it comes to people and content you consume can definitely maintain your peace.

What makes it worse is… a lot of it is not real

From dating shows and skits with actors to fake news to AI or Russian bots

Spooky times

Bruh. Somebody needs to make a thread about this.

Alot of the content out here is literally fake / staged and people just blindly believe it .

Even these stories where 2 people go on a date and one of the people does something crazy like running up the tab then ghosting be fake. It's all for outrage and to create division.

If it goes "viral" I take it with a grain of salt.

I’m in the news business and I’m still able to follow this logic. People are surprised when I tell them I’m not up on a lot of shyt going on. Those police killing black people videos, I stopped watching those years ago. I mean after covering Walter Scott, Keith Scott, Jonathan Ferrell, Danquirs Franklin, the protests after George Floyd, and I’ll just say etc in case I missed any, I just said I can’t do that kinda media anymore. It was actually making me depressed. I had to force myself to find a hobby or two because I would go cover the protest of these shootings and then go home. That shyt is tough man.. I mean literally seeing people crying, watching people being tear gassed myself included, having to run and being shot by tear gas and rubber bullets. I just said to myself that I’m going to do the best I can to protect my peace with all this shyt and it’s been working so far. I don’t let any of this stuff get to me.. I try not to anyway. Like these “lists” people I know are making their own and I’m like aight I’m out lol.

I stopped watching local news around 2009/2010. Never been happier.

MAN. This thread is talking right to me.

I never had Facebook, but I have Twitter & IG. I've been thinking hard about deleting both. Seeing black men & women attack each other all day is tiresome as hell.

I can easily delete Twitter, but IG is harder because that's how I communicate with family in other states/out the country

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

I have no idea of what’s going on locally or worldwide on a detailed level. I honestly don’t care either. I just had this conversation with my sister earlier this week. We both fell back from the news, social media that isn’t on positive vibes, etc. years ago and I didn’t know we had both independently arrived at the same conclusion, it’s all bullshyt to manipulate different groups‘ actions.

I almost didn’t come into this thread because I thought it might be a “gotcha” thread with a bait title. As I’ve told many people, my peace is paramount.
