I remember reading in the news that Pokémon Go was quite popular in Palestine.
If GP has access to this dataset it would be interesting to know how sparse is the data in that area.

What time you have in mind, that was really better?
(I believe the 90s were at least way more optimistic)
Don't think there's ever been a time in human history that would qualify as good, but I will take better: any time pre-COVID. We have completely gone off the rails since the pandemic.
I don't really feel like elaborating.
Yes, maybe not the right place anyway. I agree that Covid initiated a accelerated downward spiral, but for me the turning point was already 9/11 and everything that followed.
You can connect any two things into a sentence regardless of the state of the world. This is way off of where the problems actually are.
Edit: Some people have downvoted this without giving a reason, but I'm going to double down. Any time you have disasters or large crimes, you can connect them to children and children's things. Thinking there's anything to learn about the specific fact that you can make that connection is a mistake. It's letting the real problem spill over in a way that misleads your common sense. It's an inherent part of bad things happening that they also affect children. No matter what state the world is in.
And pokemon go isn't actually a children's game in the first place, it's heavy on the nostalgia and at least a while ago 3/4 of the users were adults.
Also drones didn't flatten a city. You really have to ignore a lot of the details to make this connection strong.
This time you have an actual connection, the state of the world notwithstanding. If you factor in the world however, with this many wars, I'd say it's pretty much linked, regardless of the way you assembled words to make it look like it doesn't, and doubling down doesn't make it less distant from reality.
Imagine someone seeing that the murder rate is not zero and using that to claim the world is worse than it used to be. That's not how it works, despite murder obviously being a bad thing.
