I obviously have none, so I’d like to see if I can mooch off of you lol.
Please don’t leave any pessimistic top level comments. Or do, I’m not your mom 🤷♂️.

I do believe that most things will get better in the end. Maybe not everything, and maybe not as quickly as you like. Maybe some things get worse before they get better. But for every one thing that gets worse, two things do get better.
Consider where humanity was 100, 200, 300, 400 years ago. Every generation ends up being better off than the last.
LGBT rights in America are a great example. For everyone bitching about the current step back, yeah it’s a step back, from the 5 steps we were ahead of when I came of age in the 80s.
Hope of what? I hope for the sunrise tomorrow just because of statistics, for example.
The future was never easy. But as long as there’s a cup of coffee, a piece of nature and a bit of love left, it’s ok.
Please add some edibles, they pair nicely with coffee nature and love
Everything is edible if you’re brave enough.
Edibles pair nicely with everything if you eat enough

Also bad news about the nature… I winced when I saw this comment because it’s so naive, but this thread isn’t the place for me to mention the Brazilian election, or how BC is about to be clear cut, or…
I better go.
Don’t lose hope, that’s what I wanted to express with my original comment. The world and humanity are in a deep crisis, on oh so many fronts. You have a choice though: invest in the future, make a positive change. Dont just consume the (bad) news, engage yourself, vote, protest! And enjoy the small things in life; if we run out of coffee, damn replace it with tea. Call me naive…
Well, at least lula won in brazil
If you can’t be happy with a cup of coffee you can’t be happy with a yatch.

Belief in my own capacity to manifest positive outcomes in it.
Organising stuff! I’m pulling together a couple friends to a bar and holding a privacy workshop For anyone who feels like practicing privacy is boring and wants do it over a drink.
Getting together with other like-minded individuals and actually doing something with immediate results like this has been such a huge help for me personally.
Just achieving something, no matter how small, and doing it with others that have a similar vision of what a better future is I feel is such a great mood booster.
I got involved with wild animal rescue 2 years ago, and being around such cool people is awesome, and each life we save is undeniably making our local ecosystem healthier and stronger.
This is the way
People I like. I meet so many cool people, and that makes me think that we, the people, can build a better future, in spite of the power hungry oligarchy.
Got invited to do Halloween with some folks, excited for that.
There’s one thing that’s happened this year that inspired actual hope in me. (I am generally a cynic, having read too many history books.)
I made a video about Flock buying out their employees and, in researching it, learned that Flock (as of a month ago) had lost nearly 400 contracts in 36 states. An independent outfit is tracking it because, obviously, major media outlets don’t want to talk about the unpopularity of fascism.
Thing is, this accelerated last summer, which means a lot of people who are otherwise apolitical are learning about Flock, going to city council meetings and doing boring, pedestrian and effective political organizing for a good cause.
That is objectively a good thing.
The bullshit with Putin and Ukraine as well as Trump and Iran is heavily incentivizing the adoption of EVs.
Getting some historical perspective is amazing. We live in one of the best times on earth, possibly the best ever. Most people just don’t realise it because we don’t have the lifespan to experience the difference ourselves.
I am surprisingly hard to destroy.
I hope it’s quick and painless.
Scientists are steadily progressing on biologically deaging human cells, so if I manage to keep myself alive for the next fifty years (and win the lottery), chances are I will reach the 100’s: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026…
Someday I’ll be dead, and therefore not suffering.
Dark Optimism. Set the bar low, and there’s less risk of disappointment!
An optimist and pessimist are in a horrible situation. The pessimist says, “this can’t possibly get any worse”. And the optimist replies, “oh yes it can!”
