There comes a point when you're mainlining bad information from places like Fecesbook or mainstream media outlets like cable or network TeeVee, and getting a serious hopium high.

I consume NONE of those controlled sources, so I'm not at risk from that direction.

That's why you don't see me posting bilge like "Ukies may retake Mariupol!"

I stick to hard numbers on natgas prices or election results.

Of course, I haven't been carrying a torch for the murdering Ukie usurpers since 2014, either... ;)

I agree. I actually have posted same opinion.
I find it EXTREMELY important to check and use credible sources for posts or comments. I try extremely hard to document by personal comments. We are not so far apart in the importance of utilizing substantial sources. [of course, we differ in our validity and opposition of Russian invasion. [just a little thing! LOL]

Typically, in my personal life I also do not follow MSM written, broadcast cable, &/or network media outlets for the new of Ukraine.

For literary research, I typically post originally sourced material found internationally.

However, once again it is important to fact check site. Media Bias/Factcheck is helpful as is searching internet for credentials of outlet or youtube poster. Some are not credible sources just using as a lazy way to earn a living.
My friend calls it: posting ‘trash for cash $$$.’

I do appreciate 1st person experience shared by ‘Ukrainian World’ or ‘Pray for Ukraine’ Facebook groups or Youtube, i.e. https://fb.watch/evaprVtA6C/
.

As well as shared by extended family or friends both Ukrainian & Russian.

Original thoughtful opinions are of interest to me as well:

So, there you go! We have found common ground for agreement.
