Rage Bait, Trauma Porn, Alarmism, Mocking People, Making You Feel Insecure.

Thinking through my previous post:

We feel negative emotions stronger than positive ones.

It makes sense because problems demand your attention and compel action while Good News Is No News.

Politicians, the media and social media keep grabbing our attention with negativity and it is personally ruining my chill.

Nate Hagens calls this ULTRA PROCESSED INFORMATION.

Here are some Buttons They Like To Push:

RAGE: Injustice, Unfairness, Pedofiles, Random Violence

MISERY: Kids With Cancer, Traffic Accidents

ALARM: Crime, Climate Change, Epidemics, Foods That Give You Cancer...

INSECURITY: Body Building, Make-Up, How-To-Act, You Don't Have Friends, You Are An Underacheiver, I Have More Money Than You, I Have More Fun Than You

MOCKING PEOPLE: Punching Up or Punching Down, Greta Thunberg, Trump

They also like to entice you with The Seven Deadly Sins:

GREED: Mansions, Supercars, Watches, The Lottery, Crypto (See Insecurity)

GLUTTONY: Mukbangs

LUST: Pornhub, Instagram

VANITY/PRIDE: Racism

ENVY: Facebook Updates, Billionaire Hate

ANGER/WRATH: see Rage Bait

LAZINESS/SLOTH: Anti-Work, Anti Taking Personal Responsibility

Your INFORMATION DIET is also Nurishment. Don't put JUNK in your Mind. You will lower your Intelligence and harm your Mental Health.

Some of this DIGITAL CRACK may be True and even Important To Know. But the daily avalanche of highly stimulating media is FUCKING UP the physical structure of your BRAIN.

Here are some alternatives to seek out:

Nature Documentaries

Science Videos

Learn New Skills

Sports, Exercise

Art and Beauty, Create, Music

Video Games, Board Games

Apps That Teach You A Language Like Duolingo Or Apps That Teach You Science Like Brilliant

Do Charity Work

Hang Out With Friends And Family

Get A Second Job And Make More Money

Travel

Make Love

DO STUFF

You Only Get One Life. One day sooner than you realize you will die and be dead forever. Show Up For Life.

peace

Reasons NOT To Subscribe To DeMorgen Newspaper.

Review of DeMorgen newspaper / news app. Review van DeMorgen krant / nieuws app. My apologies for this bleak post, but I want to warn people for their wallet and mental health. You won't find bad reviews because they get deleted. You can only review their app's functionality. You will find they won all sorts of awards for journalism. In my naivety I thought journalism meant facts. Their subscription deal is A SCAM. They don't tell you that you are on the hook for 3 years. That's hidden in the terms. And it takes just a few seconds to subscribe. I basically got scammed for about 600 EUROS. I keep downloading their app as a sunken cost fallacy, but it's bad for my mood and mental health. The first thing you will notice when you get your subscription: you get advertisements. That means you are the product they are selling. You will get push notifications sometimes 3 times per day with opinion pieces by immigrants about how evil white people are. The result is that you ...

Protein And Fiber Bomb That Is 5 Minutes Work.

The following is my ultimate Plant Based Hack: Simple Bean Soup. The outcome of 10 years of mistakes. I had to gain a lot of experience to end up with something very simple and easy. I lost over 30kg (66lbs) of FAT by adopting a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet and quitting alcohol. Without a medical intervention. Bean Soup makes healthy plant based living low effort. I always have this in the fridge, and it’s part of my daily routine. I learned from many thrown away Hello Fresh meal kits that elaborate cooking is a barrier for me. I decided not to go against my nature and make it easy on myself. !WARNING! Eating mostly whole plants is one of the best choices you can make to minimize the harm you do to our fellow animals, your body and the wildlife on this tiny dying planet. But you need to plan carefully and supplement. You need to eat a wide variety of Whole Grains, Legumes (Beans, Lentils), Dark Leafy Greens, Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts&Seeds, Herbs&Spices. You need to supplement. ...

Concise Guide To Eating Mostly Plants

A Plant Based Diet is not a Vegan Or Vegetarian Diet. On a Plant Based Diet you get most of your nutrients from plants but allow for a small amount of animal products. ❗️Don't get your nutrition advice from randos like me. Instead, for advice on eating Plants, check out this FREE website:  https://veganhealth.org/ DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING I WRITE.  I started writing this guide at the beginning of my journey. It's a mess, and I now know better. Especially when it comes to supplements. I now take a multivitamin that contains B12, D, Selenium, Iodine... and I take an Omega 3 algea supplement which Plant Eaters anecdotally need. I make sure there is always soup in the fridge that includes Beans or Lentils and Dark Leafy Greens. I still agree with a lot of this advice, but changed my mind on some of it. I advise you to read websites and books by qualified people like: Books: Vegan For Life, Nourish Subscribe to the newsletters of the websites: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health...
