Making a data center in my home town? I'm going to do anything I can to stop it.
Entertainment companies serving slop instead of art? Meh, I'll just rewatch old favorites.

Some people put their efforts towards changes that will reduce the most suffering for the most people.
Others enact change that will most individually benefit themselves.
Still others enact whichever attempts at change require the least effort.
And some (like me) want to enact whichever changes will reduce suffering specifically for the people close to them.
If the only thing that changes from me reading headlines is my emotional state and not my decisions, I'm going to just stop with the headlines because they exacerbate anxiety and insomnia and my family needs my attention more.
I don't find this position pathetic at all.
