Yeah I'm in the USA so idk if you're here or not too but yeah ... As an elder millennial the world is not how I imagined it'd be when I was a kid.
I mean, I got pretty jaded pretty quick growing up so I've always been a bit pessimistic but maybe more so I'm realistic. I hoped things would get better when we were at least trying to tackle some issues with global climate change - now it feels like we're giving up and just marching towards even more destruction of the planet.
That was 20+ years ago ... I always imagined that humanity would probably turn this place into a Hive World but I desperately want to be wrong about that. So far we're trending in that direction.
