With all the bad stuff that’s happened in the past, all the bad stuff going on in the present, and the forecast being full of terrible stuff in the future, now’s a great time to look for new ways to get through all the bullshit. What are your weird, unconventional, or non-traditional ways for coping with things when times get tough?
I do this too. Sometimes it ends up making me feel worse though. The key to staying happy is just disengaging once someone is peddling utter gibberish.
I like arguing online though. I think it’s a great way of applying knowledge and learning the ins and outs of your argument and the critiques of your ideas that are out there. I’ve been doing it since I was about 11 years old and as such, when it’s come to essay writing time I’ve found that I’ve always had an ‘effortless’ edge. It was only recently that it dawned on me - it’s because I’ve been practicing research and rhetoric on the side about a decade now. Hardly effortless.
