It's nothing but an endless parade of BAD fucking news bombarding your psyche day after day after day. No thanks. There's enough negativity in life without inviting that much more, most of it a bunch of crap that most people don't even need to know about.

And if some massive war does happen I'd probably rather not know it's coming anyway. Not a god damned thing you can do about it so why fret over it.
