I like how so many things are improving and life is really mind-boggling better and more convenient and nicer than it was 20-30 years ago. Food, healthcare, access to knowledge, etc.

But you can't say this that without massive massive blowback, because everyone is convinced of this doomer narrative that everything is worse and getting worse by the day. Like, ok doomer, please ignore all the massive progress. No, let's act like the world is awful and terrible because Netlifx raised their prices $1 per month. it's absurd.

    I'm on board with you. Yes, some things are a bit worse, but most things are the total opposite. All I see online anymore are doomers and I just don't have that mindset anymore. Makes most of the internet (Lemmy in particular) unrelatable.

    yeah im definately in the other you see now. I was just thinking about what was the last thing I can think of that had a significant day to day quality of life improvement and its pretty much the microwave. Don't get me wrong video games, special effects, the internet. They are nice and have conveniences but they really don't raise quality of life.
