Said the American living in a log cabin in Montana. But if you're from, say, Tuvalu, or Venice, the 15cm rise of the last decades is definitely noticeable, and the trend has no reason to stop or decrease.
Sea level naturally varies (if we define it liberally). It's at the times of maximums - high tide plus storm surge - we notice, otherwise it's easy to miss.
But when those high tides plus storm surges hit, we really notice sea level rise.
it used to be reported that Venice is sinking into the water but now the climate nut jobs have flipped it to it’s actually because it’s rising. I guess it’s all relative

Agreed - Where I live now, 8 thousand years ago I could have walked all the way from the UK to Holland.
Even just 1000 years ago the coastline here went four miles out to sea compared to today.
In the last 20 year we've seen the erosion of the coastline here accelerating - regular news stories about people losing their houses to the sea: https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/article/56352/Challenges-of-coast...
It doesn't matter if you think it is human caused or not, the sea level is undeniably rising:

I live next to the sea, for your information

It's difficult to not be sarcastic but let me try my best: Venice sinking is what happens when water is rising.
