Probably a false statement, as human beings lived in caves for tens of thousands of years. Folks today have got it pretty good in comparison, even taking the COVID into account.

[@Ulkomaalainen]

Well, if we're getting all nitpicky (and you're correct of course, I have it better right now than my grandparents at my age, let alone their forebears, though worse than a month ago), it is suboptimal. Whenever things can be better, they're suboptimal. Sure it's often used to mean "shitty", but the real meaning is just "it could be better". And that it could.

As humans continue to multiply at around 83 million annually, we will see things like pandemics, famine, war, genocide, effects from climate change more and more.

Reports dating back as far as 2010 talking about splicing the genome and in 2015 mixing sars with bats. Italian MSM report raising concerns over the corona bioweapon being tested in bio labs. They use the MSM to blame Trump and democrats on the spread of the virus to keep citizens divided on the issue when it's world governments and a select few at the top of the chain of command who have ordered this virus to spread around the world. MSM/WHO slowly rolled out the pandemic and anyone with a little common sense and memory should realize how obvious it is. G20/G7 countries gave the manufacturing contracts to China to mass produce medical supplies and pharma with little regulations. China burned down the medical supply factories before they released the Wuhan bat soup corona covid 19 bioweapon. Than China sent 5 million of their citizens around the world for the chinese new year knowing they were infected. G20/G7 countries USA/Australia/Canada . . . medical suppliers sent back 90% of the medical supplies to China to help China fight the virus. So i think that pretty well says this is a globalist released bio weapon designed to destroy the economy and usher in a one world government. They chose China as the place to release the virus because they know nothing can be done about it in a communist run country. The cure will be a effort from multiply countries, select few will drop bread crumbs to find the cure which will be the perfect cover up. The citizens world wide will get the dirty vax while the 1% will get the clean vax. Your children will be stairel and who knows how many other side effects will come alone with the virus and the cure. This is a war crime on humanity and nothing can are will be done about it.

There are plenty who are most DEFINITELY all that is wrong in peoples lives. So that's a 9 dollar lesson at best.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

@@Krystalmyth I mean sure, if you're talking about someone in power like Boris Johnson or Donald Trump. But a comedian doing badly on stage? That level of aggression is so unwarranted that it reminds me of when my own mental health gets screwed up and the tiniest provocation has me sending emails to local government threatening to burn down their offices (that's happened twice and to their credit they didn't try to prosecute me or anything, and instead contacted my support workers out of concern for me). Even though local government _is_ often _a lot_ of what's wrong in my life (particularly since as a vulnerable, mentally ill woman they have extra care duties, which they're often incompetent at actually providing, or try to illegally weasel their way out of), if I'm reacting that aggressively then something has temporarily broken inside me.

@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated That your mind went to politicians first... I think a lot of people can envy your personal life.

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

@@Cruxador actually this is a good point, 15 years ago I had a super abusive boyfriend. I'd like to say for comedic reasons that he turned me off guys altogether and confirmed my too-lesbo-for-straight-relationships status, but while that's _technically_ true he only did so in the early days when he was pretending _not_ to be an abusive peenwad and was treating me really well, I simply realised that the emotional connection of a straight relationship is wrong for me. Plus I'm more sexually attracted to other women too, so for me a straight relationship just isn't an attractive option. Damn it, this whole thing got _really_ off track, and only because I'm autistic and obsessively honest. *CUUUURSE YOU, VACCINES, VACCINES, VACIIIIINES, JOLEEEEENES!* (sidenote also I find the notion of vaccines causing autism hilariously absurd and solely blamed them for comedic reasons.)
