I like to keep aware of what is happening. I like to multiple-source everything, and I also try to keep aware of bloggers left, right, and center. As part of a troop/veteran support group, I stay in contact with serving military and recent returnees and those who (like me) have been out for a while.

The effect is a general belief that most things make sense, if you take the context into account, while some of those around me are freaking out
Also, I am making low-level preparations for various threats (meteorological, economic, political etc.) as I become aware of them, in order to be a little ahead of the game if certain trends continue or threats materialize. If I don’t keep up, how will I know what to be ready for?

im a teen and i watch the news a lot, but it has no effect on my decisions

ROFLMAO - The biased liberal mainstream media “news” affect any of my decision making ? That’s rich . NO .

Oh, ik let oke - nieuws niet van invloed op mijn humeur, maar zeker de vorm van mijn reis-en koopgedrag.

Usłyszałem wieści dzisiaj, nie mogę zamknąć oczy i uczynić z niego odejść, jak długo musi śpiewamy tę pieśń
