Eniko Fox on Nostr: I get where the whole "things didn't used to be simpler you were just a kid and ...
I get where the whole "things didn't used to be simpler you were just a kid and shielded from the complexities of life" comes from and I hate conservatives who pull that shit as much as the next guy. Having said that, come on man, I was an adult 15 years ago and there wasn't an ongoing though widely disregarded plague all over the world, there wasn't an ever worsening cost of living crisis, there wasn't yearly climate change induced extreme weather events across the globe, and sometimes tech did neat things that made life better rather than being caught in an enshittification spiral which has now lead to the poisoning of the well of literally all information
So I feel like things are actually measurably more complicated and worse now
Sorry for going on a ramble but I keep seeing that pithy quote coming by and this just really bugs me
