How many people are only still alive because they don't want their suicide hurting others as much as they hurt every day? (leminal.space)

The older I get the more clear basically every facet of our society is to exploit us and fill us with propaganda.

The first thing that comes to mind when I wake up is how much I just hate being surround by this species that seems to want nothing more than to destroy itself.

Everything is a fucking joke and I'm fucking tired of everyone but I have a daughter.

I'm absolutely miserable and disgusted by basically everyone but I don't have the luxury of being able to quit. I just long for death.

Positive news? What like the "all of these employees gave up sick time to coworker" kinds of stories where you need to not ask the obvious questions to feel good about?

I've never experienced anything positive that was news worthy that I'm aware of.

Its not just news, its the little things. Local things. Kids hitting new milestones in learning. Beauty in nature, and in the hands of artists all around us. Different wondrous things being researched that are going to help the human race in the future. There is so much wonder and excitement in this life just waiting to be experienced, but most of these things are not easily monetized when reported.
