I feel this negative outlook isn't very healthy. Yes there are problems, as there have been at any point in history. That doesn't mean nothing good happens or can happen.
Go make some nice things happen to yourself or someone else.

Whoa. People born around this time will (hopefully) live to the year 2100.
mind be blown.
I'm 36 and it's not impossible that I'd see the year 2100 so yeah.
In 2100 I will be 126 so I hope not. Not unless they have massively improved geriatric medicine.
But imagine a worst reality, what if they do invent immortality drugs, and then we're stuck with these idiots forever? What if it's just century after century of the flat Earth conspiracy theorists (despite us clearly having a moon colony) and Andrew Tate.
Your take is not the correct one, longevity treatments (immortality drugs isn't something that can be made) will roll back your physical age by reparing you. Not just forcing life to stay in a decaying body.
So at 126 you'll run around playing basketball and listening to heavy metal, if that's what you like.
Well you can give me a new heart but unless they do something about the brain there isn't any point.
The brain is "just" cells too, they regenerate and so forth. No specific problem keeping it in a young state.
No? It's not 2026 yet
~~Is the year 2020 part of this century?~~
Edit: am dumb
Yes but 2000 was not.
Sorry, I meant 2000, and thinking about it, yes I guess that's correct

yes. a lot.
I like having a smart phone, but maybe that's just me.
Obviously not everywhere but marriage equality made great strides.
The first quarter of this century is over at the end of 2025.
2001 was the first year in this century. 2025 is the 25th year in this century. 2100 will be the 100th - and last - year in this century.
(1 was the first year in the first century, 100 was the 100th - and last - year in the first century. That's why every subsequent century starts on xx1 or xxx1 as well)

Firefly
You know what, fuck you man, 'cause time's gonna tell in that one. I'm sure some respected producer like J.J. Abrams will pick it up and have us enjoy some four or five more seasons.
Yes. The fediverse wouldn't get much awareness if it wasn't for Twitter and Reddit absolutely shutting themselves. I wouldn't even be here if that never happened.
That's technology in a nutshell. We moved off of one platform to join another.
If we didn't, we'd still be sending each other messages on AOL and join chatrooms to have discussions.

Congratulations! Same here!
