I really never have believed times improved, and i am almost positive things will only get worse.

30 years ago we had a future to look to, the unshittified internet, great music, affordable land/housing, affordable durable cars, people actually interacted in real life, no social media trash. Now, we have billionaires and LLMs. I don’t see how anyone can possibly think times are better or going to improve.

Yes, everyone will say “civil rights improved” and yes thats maybe the only thing that has changed, however it’s getting taken away every day again so I don’t think you can even use that point anymore.

    While polio wasn’t around while I was a child my aunt’s uncle’s parents knew someone who had polio while they were growing up.

    Well yeah, if you go back to your grandparents’ generation you’re gonna see polio because you’re taking 30s and 40s. My grandfather talked about it too, but my parents’ generation didn’t.
