The fact that it's bad doesn't make it impossible.

No, but it sets off "potential bs" alarms. It doesn't matter whether you agree or disagree with it, headlines tend to misrepresent for clicks, this is just the truth.

It makes me uncomfortable when people suffer so I just pretend their suffering isn't real when it challenges me.

FTFY

Interesting, see I would have translated it as

I don't just believe all of the shit I read on the internet because I don't have my head a mile up my own ass

But i suppose I'm not fluent in lemming so what do i know.

Maybe if you were fluent in English you could have said what you meant in one attempt.

Pretty clear to me, I guess my problem was assuming I was speaking to another adult, and not a child who would react to a made up perception of what I meant instead of the words I actually said. Exactly like the kind of person who just believes every headline they read as long as it aligns to their values.
