My offline time is spent volunteering with asylum seekers. As an experiment, try actually caring about the people experiencing what you think of as meaningless online negativity.

I'm not sure if this is arguing for or against my point, but it's good you're touching grass I guess?

Your point is meaningless and implies that your choice of how to experience life offline is equally meaningless.

Well where does meaning come from? It doesn't seem to exist in nature. Some say it's something we have to create ourselves.

OP never claimed the online negativity was meaningless, only that you hurt yourself unnecessarily by constantly exposing yourself to it.
