надо как-то так собрать волю в кулак да и отписаться нахуй от всех новостных лент. ну, оставить только те, которые очень по работе нужны. а еще лучше, собрать в кулак вообще все, и научиться периодически отключать мозг. по необходимости. тогда можно ни от чего не отписываться, а наоборот, "видеть мир удивительным". а пока мозг регулярно повреждается такими вот "новостями" Ученые: Музыка в ...
