News often stress me out because of the negativity, but I want to stay informed.

      That’s cool and all, but I rarely feel like I can actively do anything as a result of being more informed. More information doesn’t empower me to do anything at all.

      I know what you mean. I think it’s partly the kind of news that’s encouraged in “bleeds-it-leads” 24h Western news cycles.

      A proportion of my news these days is from outside that cycle, and it’s a bit more helpful/normal. For example noticing all the news on the rice production shortage before it impacted local prices.
