    Honestly this is why I never pay any attention to “uplifting news” communities as it ultimately gets your hopes up for nothing. The bi monthly “revolutionary cure” for cancer is getting pretty damn old too.

      Shitty news does the opposite though, we hear all this miserable shit be it from war to policy doomsayers but other than the people in the war life just goes on as relatively normal.

      The only thing I can say that isn’t the case for was Covid.

      This isn’t to say that things aren’t shitty for a lot of people or the likes of pay and conditions are getting worse, just the news makes everything sound like it is going to be worse. I’m thinking of all these laws and policies that were set to doom us all, like net neutrality…nothing about my life changed from that.
