    Well at least the world is still a vast hellscape. Unless you got a good point to make against that too.

      In spite of all of our problems, this is the first time in the history of modern civilization when we have gone 70 years without a major war between world powers. Every year, fewer people lack running water and electricity around the world. While climate change is a problem, emissions are projected to peak in the next few years and decline thereafter. Inflation is going back down, unemployment is still low in most places, and fears of a recession have cooled off.

      It ain’t heaven, but it’s better than it could be, and many things are trending in a positive manner.

        I, too, am tired of the constant pessimism. Almost everything is improving all the time.

        On Lemmy it seems the biggest crisis is Google trying to make money off user data (as they always have been). Some people legitimately need to go outside and stop measuring world health by what mass media is currently telling them.

          If you’re using a free product, you’re either working with a non profit that survives off of donations or YOU are the product that this company markets to businesses. Nature of the beast
