      Generally speaking, be upset when super shitty things happen to people regardless of nationality.

        I’ve been upset since the moment I saw the people in Yemen starve. They’re not in a good position but I can’t do shit so worrying about it only hurts me.

          Worrying isn’t about hurting other people. It’s about being emotionally invested in the world around you, a process that requires negative emotions.

        The people who claim Lemmy users aren’t assholes like Reddit users are the ones downvoting this comment.

        Eta. When I made this comment the one above was at -5 and that’s confusing to me.
