A.N. | Making a "good" decision can be exhausting

You have to think about so much stuff. You have to consider if you're being gullible, lied to, manipulated. You have to consider your right to privacy, your yearning to do some good even if it's small in the grand scheme of things.

I've been looking into the Ecosia and Ekoru search engines (and, by extension, the Ecosia browser) to see if it's actually a good alternative to my current internet set up (firefox/opera/duckduckgo/yandex) and... I've already spent one good hour with that. The brain is frying weighing privacy x environmentalism, if this conundrum even makes any sense (should I just keep supporting local environmental actions?) and good lord, we do really live in a dystopia.

Which reminds me of the casual Last of Us landscape I see around my city. First world dystopian fiction really is just third world realities with a pinch of sci-fi, isn't it.

Well, back to work now.
