Feels like we are being driven apart more each day. What are some things or topics that bring people together? And I don’t mean into the same room, I mean emotionally even just for a minute.

    Just don’t watch the news, you can’t change it, so why worry about it?

    And then you’ll find almost anything else - shared tastes in anything from wine to video games to hiking or movies, etc. you can talk about.

    I hate the sort of toxic doomerism and sensationalism that has taken over the internet recently, and the focus on identity rather than more anonymous discussions finding common ground.

    Like it’s bizarre to see people arguing over the accuracy of precise troop movements of foreign countries thousands of miles away (on both sides), when you could better spend that time relaxing in the sun, playing video games and watching movies, visiting new places or reading new books, etc.
