Pitting Canada against the USA is a tactic designed by people smarter than Trump. Obviously. It's working on millions of citizens of both countries, including you. Don't be ashamed. It wasn't Trump that manipulated you.

Why is news via RSS better than news via Reddit? Or news via TikTok?

I'm asking why this technology solution is better for maintaining a healthy mental state.

And can you give more specific examples on how to achieve it?

The text is in English. That's why the text in the comic is written left to right. I understand that other languages read right to left, but those cases don't apply here.

Self-evident, but thank you. My question is about why.

English media, including the media on the website you're reading right now, is arranged left to right. Adherence to this rule is what makes our language comprehensible. These grammatical rules are not impediments; they are the foundations of understanding.

Violating them is done with specific purpose in mind. Anagrams are a puzzle in which the order of letters is scrambled, and the player must correct it. In this case the violation of the rule is a game, valuable because it provides enjoyment to the player.

Although I appreciate your quick response, I am looking for a more thorough one. If this arbitrary and meaningless syntax violation has any redeeming qualities I'm not seeing them. But thanks again.

What's up with the incorrect sentence order? Letters and words are in the correct order but sentences are reversed? Why the inconsistency
