Ha. Thx don’t worry about me tho. I’m certainly not worried about these fools.

It probably looks that way but people don’t want to talk to you on a bus or in a cafe. Kids are doing just fine, despite how you think they should be behaving. When you talk about political extremism, be reminded 27,000 people were killed, per day, for 4 years during WW2. The Afghan war went on for 20 years and estimated casualties are under 200k. Any loss of life is awful and war sucks, but let’s not act like this “rise in facism” is resulting in atrocities of the same scale.

Just because the media makes its money fear mongering doesn’t mean we’re worse off by any means.

most people this glum are people who think everything is falling to shit and wish things were the same as “back in the day” and lean conservative, so that’s why. I’m not young either. I get it some libs are doom and gloom but only since trump, so if he would have said the past 5 years were hell I might have poked in the other way.

I just hate this idea that the world is falling apart when it is definitively better than it ever has been and continues to vastly improve.

Really? Smart Phones make you want to not live anymore? Social Media is easily avoidable, at least something you can make not all consuming.

Trump, ok I’ll give you that one lol.

Covid sucked but it’s a marvel that we created a vaccine so quickly and in the grand scheme of things it could have been a lot worse.

Homelessness and poverty aren’t great but population growth is slowing. It’s out of your control so it shouldn’t get you so down.

I think there’s a lot to be grateful for if you focus on that instead. Hope you can find a way to be happy friend.

What the hell happened that was so bad in the last 20 years?
