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? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I'm sitting in my air conditioned house, watching not one, but 2 HD screens, one of which is playing cheers because I love that show and I can watch it all I want anytime I want. The other is my phone which is a absolute miracle of human achievement allowing me access to the sum of the worlds knowledge which I'm currently using to look at funny shit that amuses me. Also I didn't move a finger to say any of that. I just said it and it typed it for me, correcting most of my mistakes. And you, who are reading this, might be literally anywhere on this planet right now. I also used my phone to order my food which was promptly brought to my home for my enjoyment.

The world certainly has a lot of shit aspects but on the whole, we are living in amazing times right now for those of us fortunate enough to be in a safe country.

Name brands only matter to me when it comes to chips, soda, cereal bars (like nutri-grain), and shampoo. Maybe some others I'm not thinking of. But drugs are def not on that list. The only time I ever requested name brand drugs was when I got a script for Klonopin I didn't need back when I was an addict and only because I thought it would be cool to have the pills with the little K cut out of the middle, because like I said, addict.

It might seem difficult, but it's never too late to go back to school as a 40 year old in your underwear! We believe you in you! Even if you don't make it I'll bet you end up with some kind of certificate or cool title...

I got told the other day by all my friends they're called slides and I'm wrong for calling them flip flops. They told me flip flops go between your toes and I said no, those are thongs. Then they said no, those go between your ass checks. I quit arguing at that point.
