People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems?

    Yeah, all great, now ask people how was life in the 80s and 90s and ask them if they prefer now or them.

      I was alive in the 80s and 90s. I prefer now. I’m nostalgic for those times but I don’t prefer them.

        No worry of climate collapse, normal seasons, no massive heatwaves, no Trump, no Tiktok, no corporate dystopia, no Bezos, no Musk… yeah, sure, horrible times those were.

          bro what are you on about. do you really think there were no equivalent problems back then weve since solved? i cant examplify because i was not alive at that time and im not read up enough but to me its obvious every time period will have their own challenges, and stop putting words in ppls mouths lol

            Solve me climate change and then I’ll be happy. And no, ozone layer is not an equivalent problem and neither is the Cold War.
