Can someone explain me [ X country] obsession with [ X celebration] and similar [location] rituals? Why do different cultures have their respective rituals? Why do some people prioritize certain values and act on them? Is having more reasons to celebrate life a bad or good thing?

That post is pure hysteria. First no one knows when Gabe is going to die, and even if he live very long he may step down due to old age still.
- also worrying so much about something that may happen 14 years later according to op is unnecessary and distorted thinking.
- why assume there is going to be a power vacuum? can't he and his leadership make pans of succession?
- then believing a whole made-up story going down the rabbit hole of the worst case scenario is again unnecessary and distorted thinking. Is okay to think of worst case scenarios but to take them as if they were real is gifting ourselves anxiety for free.
- in any case, the mental exercise of thinking of some undesirable possibilities allow us to take precautions and prepare to the extend that is appropriate and reachable. Which would be the most efficient behavior that thwarts "actual fear" as OP writes it.
Manjaro KDE.
By that logic, every photo taken by a Samsung smartphone is fake.
IMO Friendica feels like beta software or outdated with no signs of improvement. Similar to how LibreOffice used to be for years. The layout is just not streamlined enough. It's unnecessary complicated and the UI looks outdated on all themes.

What do you mean? Do you believe China is not a Dictatorship? That they do not heavily regulate the news both out and in. Are you even aware China has a "Great Firewall" to filter dissent speech? I like to read Light Novels from Japaneses, Korean and Chinese authors. From the many I've read, I encountered 3 really good novels that are sadly on "Hiatus". Guess from where and why? If they can be this petty with fictional LNs they are capable of everything. I really don't understand how will anyone defend China's government unless you are a Chinese government shill, or are oblivious to world news.

- don't use any screen an hour prior to going to bed.
- make sure you're comfortable (temperature, light, sounds, mattress)
- every night make a list on paper of all the things that worries you both consciously and subconsciously. Don't know what are your subconscious worries? Speak with a therapist. Deal with whatever thing you need to do before bed, if nothing urgent, then declare to your mind that you will work on them the next day or in the future since your only job right then is to sleep.
Their government is a dictatorship and want to keep it like that. Thus they block any "dangerous" ideas. This is of course an oversimplification but you get the jest of it.
I don't think there is one. What I do is use the website on Firefox wth uBlock Origin, and Decentraleyes add-ons.

Mr/s. financial expert, how much is way down? How does the cost vs revenue compared? Is it a net positive or negative. I'll wait for you to put 2 and 2 together to see if I celebrate or not yet.
