This is why I do read from Reuters.

The first step to your perspective is believing they're actually telling you the truth.

I believe they lie about everything they say. There isn't a shred of honesty in any GOP or Dem politician, and the news media, whichever side they represent, takes what they say at face value and run with it. Dumping tons of time and energy into deciphering their actual intentions or hopes is like trying to figure out how a magician did his trick without him ever telling you.

I find very little value in what is being uttered on any given website or podcast at this point because I've watched how we've devolved into infighting more and more to the point of violence and hate for my entire life. What kills me is that the biggest lie of my lifetime, 9/11, actually brought partisans together better than the lies of today could ever hope to. If you're a Republican, you're an NSDAP racist murder-complicit demon. If you're a leftist, you're a low impulse control, violent antifa-adjacent imbecile who can't fathom biology or sexual-dimorphism with no understanding of how economics or compassion actually works.

You cannot be a partisan and participate in partisan politics if you ever want to live a peaceful life. You cannot consume partisan media and actually believe if if you ever want a better life. You cannot be a third party voter because your vote is monopolized away by the big two.

If you ever want to live outside of an echochamber, live at peace, raise your family, and fulfill your life's goals, you must detach.

This is why I get my news from real people in real life or from the one exception, Reuters. Partisan politics is lame and has infected the entire domestic news industry to a point of being laughable.

I used to love NPR until I realized that they make their content for their hyper rich coastal elite donors and don't actually care about rural heartland residents like myself. I don't care at all about jazz music or political unrest in an unrecognized self proclaimed nation state, I want to know how we can get solar everywhere that corn fields destined to be turned into combustible fuel inhabit.

An example of the most moral corporate executive. Involuntary biology experiments on unsuspecting subordinates seems like an upgrade from what they're doing normally through the psychological torment.

Hot take:

No matter how good or crap you think the traffic laws are in your place are, the best bet is to follow them because if you don't you will likely have to pay a lot of money that you probably don't have to just throw away. Speed limits are limits, meaning maximums, merging should go like a zipper, yielding to traffic already up to speed is safest, driving without substances impairing your body is safest.

Its quite simple but a lot of people think they should be allowed to rebel against the laws and get away with doing whatever they want because the rules shouldn't apply to them specifically.

Anyone who doesn't believe the earth is flat isn't a flatearther. Anyone who doesn't believe in the flying Spaghetti Monster isn't a pastafarian.

Definitions carry value and determine what something/someone is or isn't

Anyone who doesn't believe that Jesus is entirely God isn't a Christian. That's not gatekeeping, its like saying someone can reject the prophet Muhammad and still be a Muslim. It just wouldn't be true.

I'm an Orthodox Christian, and we definitely eat God every Sunday. The Lutherans also believe they eat God but they define it more like we do than the Roman Catholics do. The Anglicans usually agree with the Catholics on how they eat God. Beyond just the groups named, I'm fairly certain no one else truly eats God's flesh.

Christ isn't a demigod in Christianity; He's God incarnate, fully God and fully Human. So we eat God directly. I can't explain how with any precision as I'm not a trained and experienced theologian with the credentials to make the "how" statements, but we do eat God.

I don't think the negative sentiment for unskilled labor positions getting pay increased that equals skilled labor is out of jealousy but out of the skilled laborer now being undervalued. If I got a pay cut equal to an unskilled position while I'm an engineer, I'd be very unhappy that all my time, learning, and productivity in my field would essentially equal to the same value as a job a fourteen year old can perform. If unskilled labor increases in value, then skilled labor should as well. Why would someone bother trying to waste the 10 years to become a licensed surgeon when he could just move pallets in a warehouse for the same money in this scenario? Some labor is skilled and specialized and therefore rare and valuable. Some labor is dangerous and life-threatening by nature and therefore rare and valuable. Different careers/jobs/positions pay differently for a good reason most of the time. Linemen can die in a flash of light any given day and therefore I think they certainly deserve more than I make because of that because I certainly do not want to do that job. If unskilled jobs became so well paid that it equaled skilled jobs, no one would bother wasting the effort to get the credentials to do the skilled jobs and then we'd be out of engineers, doctors, lawyers, mathematicians, physicists, chemists, oilfield workers, etc.

I just scanned it and now the entire nation of Bangladesh has my phone number

This is what the internet is for

Library of things gang. 

I borrowed a Theramin, garden weasel, and a circular saw all in the same week doing a backyard garden project (the theramin was for fun)
