Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I don't watch or read news online (and we have no TV at home). I will read a couple (print) newspapers every day instead. I receive one in the morning, and the other arrives in the early evening, each one from a different political side in my country (France).

Why print? No one is tracking what I'm reading, and also I don't need to use a computer which helps in getting a better sleep mood: less bright light directly in the eyes, and a lot less shit content too ;)

When I don't read those newspapers, I will read some magazines (print too) or read books (yeah, in print too).
