So I'm still a butt fuzzy

Weird self-deprecating thing to say, and not sure how it relates, but best wishes with that!

I do not eat meat.

I do feed meat to my cat.

What do you think of people feeding their pets kibble/dry food? Most people (>75%) with dogs and cats feed most (or all) of their food as dry kibble. Is that morally wrong?

If yes, please share more about that.

If no, is it only "processed food" if it's made with non-meat protein with added nutrients rather than animal-based sludge with added nutrients? I'm struggling to understand this perspective.

That just isn't how novice users interact with a computer, though. Most mainstream OSes have GUI for anything you'd need to do as a novice.

It's also a matter of motivations. I'm not saying nonprofit status confers automatic trustworthiness, but they are missing the major incentives for sensationalism that for-profit outlets are.

The purpose of those publications is to make sure they’re distributed as widely as possible to sell ads

Agree: For-profit journalism has screwed-up incentives. Not-for-profit journalism does tend to be different.

Personally I feel I manage to still stay informed, since anything of real importance will break through my block list anyway.

So you're relying on those around you to keep you informed, despite blocking news on social media and not reading news yourself? Bold choice.

It really is nearly this simple.

I have been converting my money into Euros, with the assumption that America as we knew it is going to die horribly within years. Hopefully, my efforts are pragmatic, not paranoid. 😕

Hopefully, your efforts are paranoid, not pragmatic.

(Not blaming you for how you're coping/preparing, just not personally ready to give up on our country yet) The past is useful because history rhymes, but the future isn't written in stone
