If the situation were hopeless, their propaganda would not be necessary.

Moore's Law is on schedule (within a few SDs) and should end (achieve maximum physical capacity for transistors) in the next few years (if it already secretly hasn't). And almost all the AI benchmarks have already been met.

So we should get true AI and hit the singularity in the next decade or so.

Which means either a nigger free techno-Utopia or a Terminator-esque dystopian hellscape. And I'm down for either one.

My dog learning a new command or remembering an old unused one fills me with hope. Also beer.

Oh my gosh finally we have this thread <3 I kept wanting to make one like this but hesitating cuz ppl would be like dude that's so autistic. Clearly I forgot that the world can be much kinder than you expect. And they're gonna judge anyway, so whatever. So thank you for starting this thread, op. I have a lot to share. These are some images that have seriously helped me get through some hard times. (They also make me laugh, and laughter is the best medicine)

idk about you guys but i struggle a lot with depression, comparison, feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness, self doubt and resentment, social anxiety, shame, fear that i'm wasting my life, worries about the future, all that jazz so i've got a looooottt of pics and memes specifically related to that stuff
btw normies call this "hopecore"...which imo is kinda cringe but i sorta don't mind it ya know?

i'll prolly post more of these sometime (i have lots collected)

Spoiler: videos too :)

Spoiler: media recommendations :)

my favorite movie is "everything everywhere all at once". HIGHLY recommend if you struggle with some of the same things as me, especially feeling that you've wasted your life or wasted your potential, or like every day is the same. or if you have a strained relationship with your parent or kid...
warning--sexual content (dildos lol) and also a very very minor lesbian subplot.
2x warning--you WILL cry. you will. "But I never cry at-" no, you will cry. actually all these films are tearjerkers, but this one especially.

i also recommend "puss in boots: the last wish" if you're not one of those ppl who vomits at the mere notion of animation. deffo one of the only super high quality family movies to come out in the last decade.

also consider checking out "the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse". it's also animated, but only like half an hour long. it's based on a book which i recommend just as much.

here is a very similar book called "big panda and tiny dragon". both so heartwarming and encouraging. <3

i can't think of more stuff rn, so thanks for letting me yap---hope at least one person in the world gets something from this post. that'd be enough for me ^^

@Ratboy Genius unironically needed to see this, these past few weeks have gotten me pretty down lately, and sometimes it doesn't seem like there's an end in sight. Thank you!

Kind of a cheesy, but inspirational, song I pop on every now and then. (If you like Epic-style music, this should be up your alley.)

As much as I love Kiwi Farms, it is filled with so much hate. No matter what, let's continue believing that all human lives have inherent and equal value. We can be against troonism, leftism, censorship, horrific sexual behaviors, grooming, etc etc etc etc, and still be kind.
