Ditch social media.

... make your own free website on a free IP address (a cheap paid domain is a wise addition though), get a free email address, and chat in real-time with your friends on IRC, with Seamonkey. It has a Composer module to edit and publish your own websites; a Browser to browse the web; a superb Email module to check your e-mail; and an Address Book to manage your contact list; and an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client, to chat with the whole world. It is free and it does not collect information about you, it respects your privacy. It is the only Internet Suite from Mozilla that survived, it is one of the oldest browsers on the net. For voice- and video-chat use some free and secure messengers (e.g. Simplex, Session, Jami, Briar, Wire, etc), or use similarly free browser-based alternatives such as Jitsi. If safe-to-use privacy-respecting social media is still needed, use Mastodon, a distributed and federated network. Pick your instance, create a free profile, and congregate with like-minded people there, but be careful: all social media is, by design, addictive.

Watch old films with real humans in them. The older the better.

Thus, normal people would prefer to see a film made, directed, acted and edited by people, that tells a story about fellow people. So, with all that CGI and AI assisted cinematography today, do not be surprised if people will rather dust off a nice 1950's or 1930's movie instead of watching the newest films made by the cyborgs.

Use petrol, gas or diesel vehicles, avoid fully electric ones. Hybrids can be cautiously considered.

... are the most important driving forces behind people's decisions about transportation.

Most people do not want less freedom: less range, longer recharge-times, more planned obsolescence. They find driving their own vehicles less tiring than supervising them. Thus, self-driving, all-electric vehicles are simply not attractive enough. Most of us will prefer the old freedoms we used to have. Look for older cars, preferably from the years before 1989. Do not jump on new bandwagons...

Stop checking the news. Learn languages. Travel. Make friends. Get a life.

Guess what: you do not need to be informed about happenings in the world daily. Also, you certainly do not need to consume "news" prepared for you by well-known interest groups whose agenda is to brainwash you to follow their world-view and align your interests with theirs.

Have you ever wondered how it is possible that in this beautiful big world with 8+ billion inhabitants, every single day exactly 5 minutes worth "newsworthy stories" occur, and magically, none of them are positive? Have you ever doubted that the world is really so bad that only negative things happen, and these negative things always happen in countries which are independent and/or do now want to subordinate their interests to your own? Hmm, is it a coincidence? Think harder... and while doing so stop checking the news regularly, start learning languages and traveling the world, meet and befriend people you meet. It is a better recipe to have a meaningful life than listening to all the war-, scare-, fear- and hate-mongering news media on a daily basis.

Even in peace-times news media is bad, but in war-times you should absolutely stay away from "the news", as it is always lying, always brainwashing, and more importantly: always war-mongering. As a general rule do not hate, and do not let news media make you hate other people.
