@Kedly@lemm.ee, the world may be a better place than 1000 years ago but it's still worse than it was in the 90s.

Tell that to someone living in rural India or China in the 90s

I'm not from there, so I don't give a shit. All I care about is that 90s had no climate collapse, no AI, no fuckups every 3 years or so and live in general was better.

Were it for me, 70s, 80s and 90s on a loop forever and whoever loses from it... well, shucks, I'm not one of them.

White, male, late 30s? Just trying to see whose behind the keyboard a little bit.

Coming late to the party, but early 20s, white, male. I care more about climate change not being as bad back then than whatever was happening to Bumfuckland at the time tbh.

I'm going early 30s white dude. Yea I remember it used to be way worse as far as emissions. In the 90s the sun was yellow lol

The nineties was the pinnacle of humanity, the music, the video games, films, ...

Presses X to doubt

I mean if you're straight and cis it was...

And living in the US/western Europe. Eastern Europe and Asia weren't doing so hot

Fair.

It's not teally thah muchbetter for some of us so I guess I just didn't take that into account, like it was bad then and bad now.

Hence why I said low tide and zoom out. Right now shit seems like its regressing, BUY WE ARE STILL AHEAD of where we used to be, so the TREND is still hopeful, even if the right now sucks.

tldr; in the immediate present/future things are looking worse, but the overall timeline/trend things are looking and have been getting better
