For those say in their 60s or 70s here. When you were in your 30’s or 40’s did you have the feeling that the world was a fucked up place? So much has been going on since I entered adulthood in the early 2000s and I feel like it’s getting more and more intense. It’s never ending.

Is it unique? Or has it always been this way?

    My always-on doomscroll device’s weather app today told me about an aviation accident that killed two people in another country

    I just wanted to know if the snow was going to let up, why am I getting international news of death and dismemberment?

      I’d get a new weather app that only shows the weather. If you’re on Android, try BreezyWeather (F-Droid link).

      The F-Droid (“freenet”) one only mainly uses OpenMeteo as the source (which is pretty good) but the releases on Github offer additional sources. Not sure why there’s a discrepancy, but I use the Github release and Accuweather as the source. YMMV which gives the best results for your area, but I often wasn’t getting severe weather alerts with OpenMeteo.
