People always upvote some form of this comment on every post that contains potential good news. Sometimes y'all need to keep your pessimism to your fucking self. It's exhausting.

    Sadly this is not pessimism but just realism. You are free to block me if that's too uncomfortable or annoying

    No, commenting "it won't happen" on every single fucking post is pessimism. Sometimes good things happen.

    commenting "it won't happen" on every single fucking post

    But I don't do that, I can't be blamed for actions of others

    If it's not you it's someone else, and it's still pessimism. And people still upvote it, because everything is bad, and all good news is actually bad news.

    If you want to stick your head in the sand and hum happy tunes to yourself, give’r. We’ll be up here living in reality where, in fact, most news is bad news for the poor in America. Sorry?

    You're misrepresenting reality. This article is good news, period. A jury decided Meta was at fault, and this is good regardless of your negative framing or how much they end up having to pay.
