It still astounds me that this is considered 'news'. Forget about the Ukraine! Ignore climate change! Stupid (literal) shit is happening right here!
Stop being distracted by this, while your planet overheats, and while your fellow man is killed.

Should I feel guilty that I'm watching the hockey game?
Should I have not fed my dog today because children in Nigeria are
starving?
Should I turn off my air conditioning to reduce the load on the electric grid?

He says while he spends time running a BBS that serves no real purpose. You should stop doing that while your fellow man is killed.
I think the point was what was considered news. I don't know what your news is like over there, but I kind of agree with mcdoob on this. Will Smith oscar slap, johnny depp vs amber heard all getting more coverage than war in ukraine.

I know what his point was. My point was that I don't want to hear
from hypocrites about what I should be interested in.
And no, those two things did not get more coverage than the war
in Ukraine. Ukraine got more intense coverage for a longer period
of time, people talked about it at work, the company I work for
pulled out of Russia, lost hundreds of millions, relocated its
workers, the country is sending tens of billions in aid.
I have to agree with every bit of this.
For the first few weeks of the war in Ukraine, the US "mainstream" media covered it almost 24x7. Seriously. Even now the time spent on it every day is measured in hours. Really can't see how anyone would expect more than that. Especially now that there really doesn't seem to be much new happening day-to-day. Looks like Russia's next Afghanistan to me.

What worries me us this the calm before the storm. Will Putin feel like hes being ignored and decide its time to shake things up in the whole world with nukes. People in power need the attention they don't deserve. When they don' get it well things don't go well after that.

We had a little bit of ukraine news at the start of the war, but to the mainstream media here it doesn't seem important anymore. I guess that's a reflection on the priorities of it's target audience.
Not that we can't have frivolities in the news, just I think when it comes at the expense of serious things it's a problem.

Well that's good. Like I said, I don't know what's broadcast on
the news in the USA. Here (in Australia - or more specifically
Queensland) it's not really been so much.

Probably because Europe is far away from Australia, so much that a big badass war over here is of lessed concern compared to anything happening in Australia itself.

This is because Will SMith oscar slap and Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard were news when they were released. Meanwhile the news with Ukraine were

You could always try feeding a couple of those starving children
to the dog. That'd solve two problems at a stroke... :P

Heh. I'm sure that would offend a few folks.

The logic here is just undeniable. You should write your plan and send
it to the UN for further analysis.
