Comcast internet is down today for about a third of my neighborhood. Without internet, I forgot to be outraged about everything and anything.
@bradenslen You could always be outraged by your internet being down. I mean, if you're looking for something :)
@vasta A few months ago I gave up immersing myself in news from the internet. Oh, I'd scan the headlines a bit but I quit clicking on the stories because they were too much: "he said, she said and I'm outraged" or just "outrage for the sake of outrage" stuff all of which distracts us from some bigger problems that have wider - national or global effects.
It's not to say that some smaller injustices are not worthy of our concern, but I find I can't live life trying to be outraged about absolutely everything, 24/7. I have lived a good deal of my younger life being angry and it twisted me into actions and words that I now deeply regret. Anger, outrage, have their uses, but not as a permanent state of being. I have to filter it somehow and identify priorities.
@bradenslen I have blog post after blog post about the inadequacy of Comcast - the fact I don’t write them anymore isn’t because they are better.
