I’m talking about stuff like “there’s NOT gonna be an election in 2028” and such, and I also support optimism

    Allow yourself escapism and breaks where you get lost in the things you enjoy even if you feel guilty. It will keep you from burning out

        Like books

        Buy them from pawn shops or libraries during booksales

        They’re immutable and work without electricity or internet

          Board games also work without electricity and are more similar to video games than books. Could also get a CD player and pickup some used media for really cheap. You may still rely on electricity, but you will eliminate the reliance on internet.

          I mean books are good, but you can’t force someone to enjoy a hobby they don’t naturally gravitate towards.
