Is it possible anymore for any major event to occur without conspiracy theories appearing? What kind of future is this leading to where skepticism to the authorities either gets turned up to 100 automatically or any suggestion that there might be a coverup is immediately dismissed since there is a flood of conspiracy theories about everything?

There is no nuance on the internet anymore. Between the bots and the shills, I think some websites are probably only 20-30% actual unpaid humans. The state actors are the worst. Go over to liveleak and read the comments on any random video if you don't believe me. Its always pro-US shills fighting with pro-Russian shills, all buried under a thick layer of bot spam and in-house vote manipulation.

Yeah, if the internet could turn down the volume, that would be great. Maybe I just need to get some other hobbies. Any suggestions?

I need hobbies too. I like to garden and go on nature walks. Both are great for the head, but they're seasonal.

I'm thinking about getting into smithing/toolmaking. Maybe even engraving like this guy. I need something to do in the garage while its cold this year.

I like the idea of gardening, but whenever I've tried it my plants have died. They all do that eventually anyway, so I'm not sure if I'm bad at it or that just has to be expected.

Nature walks are a safe choice though and even possible in winter so long as you're prepared.
