So I know I’m in several lil online bubbles where most people agree with me, and maybe that’s tainting my perspective, but I’m noticing more and more folks at work and out and about that seem to be completely fucking fed up and getting angrier
So I know sports ain’t huge on Lemmy, but I was an Atlanta and UGA sports fan from the day I way born. Until 2021 there had been over 500 seasons of the teams I loved over around 150 years with something like 5 championships, only one I was alive for and it was the team I gave the least fuck about. The number of “almost getting to the mountain top and coming up heartbreakingly and comically short” I experienced during that time, and reality over the past 10 years has taught me one very helpful if not hopelessly bleak axiom, “without hope there can be no despair”
I want good things to happen, and will work for them to happen, but I’m not believing until I see it, because I can’t handle the highs and lows of that roller coaster anymore.

I truly hope it’s not just your bubble.
I keep seeing stuff on folks wrecking those public spy cameras and I almost start thinking people might wake up.
Same here, I just don’t think it in me to actually hope again, the despair that could follow might actually kill me
That the funny thing about hope. It’s a choice, not a feeling.
Or something like that. It was a nugget of wisdom from the K-pop movie my kids watched a million times.
