Anyone else hate the 21st century?

Sure lots of things to hate but whats the point of dwelling on it? Fact is this is the time you're born in and theres nothing you can do about it. You either live it or die. With all the negativity there is the stride you take to find the good is all the more important and priceless. Dont dwell on what upsets you because all you will find is more misery, what kind of life is that to live? Find the good, the positive, the uplifting and the righteous. It exists but it wont wait around for you and it wont come to those who do nothing. Little by little i am trying myself to find it.

Beautiful, elegant music. Uplifting and inspirational stories of those who have conquered hardship. Wonderful people with hearts of gold. Loyal canines and companions that love you unconditionally. Delicious cuisines. Films so impactful they make you laugh or cry or even make you feel something deep down in your soul. Beautiful gorgeous places to visit, places you never knew existed and make you question the complexity of life and reality. So many things to discover.

I say all this while being super depressed myself, also dwelling on the negative but i know that is not the way one should experience life

Our boomer parents went to college for pennies on the dollar compared to us and basically after they took over instituted a lot of changes to the market that blew up I mean of course Blockbuster laughed at Netflix when they offered to sell a share of the company to them and looked for partnership because of the quartlies blockbuster wouldn't be looking out for it's long term interest it was obsessed with how to make profits in the next Quarter thus the black swan that Netflix was allowed to completely destroy their business until there was nothing left of it, plus if you ever wonder about Comcast and Time warner and why there's so much turnover with people quitting all the time and new folk being brought in it's because they don't pay them enough to be screamed at by irate customers but try pointing this out and proposing paying their employees better and it won't go anywhere because that would mean spending more today when the company needs to make money by end of quarter to look good to Quarterly analyst. AND THIS A BAD IDEA BOOMERS IMPLEMENTED. There was no quarterly reporting before them!

It soujds like you need to spend more time traveling seeing the world and meeting real people than to be online all day being manipulated by algorithm propaganda. Plenty of studies to point out how damaging that is to your mental health

the future was looking peaceful and bright in 90's...hasnt turned out this way sadly.

Workplaces are infinitely more pleasant now than at any time in my career.

Of course 😊
But here’s the thing, 20 years from now and you will probably look back and say those were the good years 💁🏼‍♂

Yup!!

That profile pic helps

Technology is a double edged sword in every aspect.
IMO

Could be worst.

just wait until AI weaves itself into our lives.
we'll be laid off in all sorts of fields.

and one day the AI will decide the "prime directive" is counterproductive and start doing away with people

Just hang on for a bit. According to Start Trek it's going to be paradise on earth starting around the 23rd century (just don't go into space). At the 30th century Futurama promises complete post-scarcity.

But by your age group you’ve never lived through another century so how do you know any different?

In the 20th century you'd probably die from a tooth infection if not the flu ,so no

Lol, you only know the 21st century. You were born after it already started

Big Tech is already killing themselves anways. Many are not doing great in the market.
