You know what’s Not on Roids, but fuels our collective simmering rage? The HuffPost UK article “This Is Why Everyone Is So Much Angrier These Days.” Seriously. They broke it down for us, didnt they? Like we needed a news outlet to tell us that! Apparently, its the algorithms. Oh, joy.
Look, I get it. Social media feeds are meticulously crafted to trigger you. Doomscrolling is practically a national pastime now. But to blame everything on some clever coding? It’s almost insulting to our innate capacity for frustration. We were grumpy before TikTok existed! Remember dial-up internet and waiting 20 minutes for a blurry picture of a cat? That was anger-inducing, folks!
The article mentions political polarization, economic anxieties, the pandemic… all valid points! But it feels like theyre offering up algorithms as some kind of convenient scapegoat. It’s easier than confronting the fact that we are all stressed, exhausted, and possibly just a little bit hangry.
And the solutions offered? Mindfulness exercises?! Seriously? Try paying your energy bill while simultaneously attempting to explain blockchain technology to your grandma. Then tell me about inner peace. We dont need hand-holding; we need affordable housing and maybe just…a slightly less chaotic news cycle. Is that too much to ask, HuffPost UK? I’m genuinely furious.
