NPR:	<https://text.npr.org/1151374507>
Headline:	"Nearly all U.S. mass attackers were male and faced major life
         	stressor, report finds"
Content:	"...Nearly all the attackers experienced 'at least one
        	significant stressor' within five years of the attack..."
What?? Who *has not* experienced a significant stressor within the last five
years?
	These analyses don't compare the demographic to the average or median,
just sensationalize useless numbers. This is somewhat cherry-picked but the
rest of the article also sucked.

	I read NPR for my pseudo-left Capitalist news. I used to read CNN but I
would get irate at misleading headlines. I checked for some to lambast (ooo I'm
becoming a True Blogger "lambasting" my perceived enemies I'm so cool) but
couldn't really find anything that stuck out so maybe I'm remembering it as
worse than it was. Still, most of these headlines can be filed under "who the
fuck cares":

	"Ukraine's new tanks won't be the instant game-changer some expect"
		but they're still useful so who cares
	"Here's how family and officials who have seen the video of Tyre
	 Nichols' arrest are responding to the footage"
		probably they don't like it because he got shot or something
		who's Tyre Nichols
	"Quarterbacks in the NFL playoffs are getting younger. Here's why their
	 age is important"
		who cares about the NFL?
	"US Marines officially opens first new base in 70 years on island of
	 Guam"
		USA propaganda piece
	"After 3 years of Covid, CNN went into rural China for Lunar New Year.
	 Here's what we found and how officials tried stopping us"
		probably officials knew CNN fucking sucks ass and were trying
		to stop them from ruining people's fun. article exploration
		time!
			the article was incomprehensibly boring and just
			explored COVID-19 stuff in rural china. the tldr is
			rural people don't care because they didn't really get
			great treatment during the onset of the pandemic so
			anyone who would've died did and now it's just a thing
			that goes around. i didn't read much of the article i'm
			just describing my rural town because rural towns are
			the same fucking everywhere
	"China still wants to control Big Tech. It's just pulling different
	 strings"
		anti-China propaganda piece. this could have been titled "the
		Chinese government still wants influence over Western
		technology companies, trying different methods" but that
		wouldn't be biased or completely fucking stupid. can you tell I
		hate CNN?

	I could go on but my doctor (drug dealer) told me to watch my blood
pressure so I'm gonna have to chew an aspirin (drugs) to calm down (get high).

[12:06 PM] tebicat: I read this and imagined a human organ hooked up as an hid
                    or something
[10:05 PM] trinity: like that person with the pinball thingies surgically added
                    to their brain or whatever and could be put into agony by
                    pressing a button
[10:05 PM] trinity: what are the pinball thingies called
[10:05 PM] trinity: SOLENOIDS
[10:06 PM] trinity: EE teacher called them pinball bumpers
[10:07 PM] trinity: cyborg but the augmentation is easy facility for torture
[10:07 PM] trinity: ping ping ping AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE
[10:10 PM] trinity: in hindsight i should stop engaging with severely fucked up
                    events
[10:10 PM] trinity: i feel like all my random anecdotes are like hey i watched
                    a person die that way

	I'm not a very good leader. Today at work one of the people in my [...]
threw a bitch fit because I put them on menial labor most of the time rather
than the meat and potatoes of our job. A real bitch fit that made me pause what
I was doing for a couple seconds to tell them to shut the fuck up, but then my
superior called them into their office so that they instead could tell them to
shut the fuck up - I technically have no authority to tell anyone what to do
but people listen to me because I'm the one with the most experience.

	"I'm gonna throw a B.F.! A bitch fit!" ~ a friend of mine

	I'm not a very good leader. The issue is that I don't really feel that
whole empathy thing or anything like that. Not only can I not imagine what my
subordinates (this sounds like total dogshit but bear with me because this
wording is the best I have) are feeling but when they verbalize their feelings
there's not much I can do to understand or care because I barely have
discernable emotions besides {confused,typical,hyper,tired}. My solution to
most things is to get someone doing menial labor because I figure if they're
stressed out they should do relaxing small jobs rather than the soul crushing
eternal big job.
	I don't have much to add because I don't care that much. When dogs bite
send them outside. Otherwise as long as they can still walk put them on the
leash and make them exercise.
