a common theme for news stories seems to be trying to evoke a reaction of, "glad that's not me"
and you could look at that as a negative, like glass half empty, "they're presenting a distorted version of reality"
but i look at it glass half full like, "hey, these stories are all true, and guess what, today's my lucky day, it didn't happen to me"
and i mostly credit not leaving my house, so i spread the good news to you, helping you live a great life. everything you need is in your house. what are you even doing out there? stop it.
