    This is how Narcissistic Personality Disorder works. It’s typically more focused though, as in the pic, because the mentally ill aren’t often elected to be President of the United States.

      It’s not that this completely removed ragebait, it just filters all the most obvious which is most of it. Seriously this is the way

      Mine has become very very long already.

      It’s not that I don’t want to keep up with what’s happening, but the constant onslaught of depressing news and gorey kamikaze drone footage really took a toll on my mental health.

        You can see by which posts I’ve commented on recently. Feels diverse enough for my needs

      I hate it that filters don’t filter words in images.
      I would’ve really liked this to also have been filtered out by my “Trump” filter.

      I can’t fit even half of my content filters into a single screenshot. And I have a separate list for filtering comments. There’s so much manual curation needed to make this platform barely tolerable.

    One good thing that came out of all this … I got back into music as a synth player after 30 plus years and my wife has learned a couple instruments. Now instead of doom scrolling we have whiskeys and play sea shanties.

    And by making this post you perpetuate the trumpet.

    You have become the monster you sought to destroy.

    Every now and then, I’ll read a post like “BEES ARE YELLOW!” or something and I’ll somehow know that Trump said some random bullshit.

    She should turn around and hit the trumpet so hard that the mouthpiece falls out of his anus

    Nah, he’s pretty easy to ignore once you accept he’s a buffoon… And the culmination of American history. Reagan, Nixon, and Bush had aspects of Trump.

    He’s more like a court jester who has shit himself, and refuses to admit it.

    Then stop spreading it. I don’t give a shit about your country and I don’t care that you chose a bad leader and are now complaining about it every day.

    You say that like the US citizens aren’t the most upset about this.

        I am sure your country is holier than thou. Obviously all the US citizens are bankrupt because they didn’t overthrow the most powerful empire on earth. /s

        Yeah, your argument here is fucking stupid.
