everyone seems so miserable now

Well isn’t this a cheerful thread.

Miserable? me?  
Depends on whats going on and how my mood is at any givin time.

I can see this.
 
Your avatar is BigMac after all.

So… whatever happened to the grand and egalitarian 21st century we were all PROMISED by futurists? All I see is war, death, self-entitlement and endless frivolous technology being created like Facebook and cellphones that record videos in the wrong orientation. THIS is our grand future? THIS is what I’ve been waiting 30 years for?

Look up the “hedonistic treadmill”.
 
I assure you, people would bitch and whine about the garden of eden. It doesn’t mean people are “miserable”, just that their brains haven’t been rewired yet.

We’re only thirteen years in.

I AM sometimes miserable, but only when I come to this site. Everything is cheerful and happy until then. Then I’m hit in the face with whatever moronic drama is being spammed at the moment and I weep.
 
Then I remember how my country’s goverment is acting like hateful pig-headed children again, and how Sinfest turned from near Bill Watterson level smart humor into femnazi junk, and I feel like the world is turning into sh*t and we are in a slump towards another war that will seem like a good idea at the time.
 
But that’s depressing. Let’s talk about things that we like instead.

I like how I’m finally gonna get to sit down.
 
Though this means I should probably see what Mr. Rogers is bitching about in some likely mass-reply email to everyone that doesn’t like his little cyber-security bill.

Hey, some of us enjoy drama.
