        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.

      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
