*pours gasoline on 2016's tombstone and violently urinates on it before lighting the gasoline and moving to a safe distance before getting the c4 ready*
seriously, fuck this year.

That being said we've also done a lot of cool shit in the medical community, like discovering a gene that causes ALS which is a really important thing since it might help us develop treatment or possibly a cure. http://www.alsa.org/news/media/press-releases/significant-gene-discovery-072516.html

so whilst we've lost a lot of entertainers that we grew up with a lot of good things have happened though at the moment more specifics eludes me.

(I'm not exploding at Vulnus, just the idea of 2016 as the worst year)

Only in the echo chamber of the internet is 2016 the worst year. Some of us have had worse years. 2016 was just like any other year with the exception that it had an election in it. You know what was a worse year? 2014. Why? Among many other things, my mother died. 2016 has been fine compared to that. For most people the ONLY reason 2016 was "the worst year" was because Trump won the election. They don't understand how the electoral system or the government itself works, and they didn't get what they wanted. Perhaps if Clinton hadn't cheated Sanders out of the election, we would have had a better choice over the orange chicken nugget in a wig we had to go with. They bitch and moan in that echo chamber, making it sound like a bigger deal than it really is, making it sound like more people are upset than actually are. Yes, 2016 was unpleasant, but the only way in which it would have been "the worst year" would be if the worlds nuclear arsenal and power plants spontaneously combusted all at once while everyone was collectively crapping their pants after eating some bad chicken. That would give the horde of whiny millennials something to cry about. Even then though I'm sure a few people, myself included, would be excited about the coming nuclear apocalypse. Also I can imagine some people being very excited because they shit themselves.

If anyone wants to insist that it was the worst year though, it's all right.

Because I had Reese's for breakfast

I don't think anyone here stated that 2016 was the worst year. For me personally? Yeah, my grandfather died, my grandmother got diagnosed with dementia, I've had a couple of my cats die, and it's just turned out to be an all around shit year. But worst year ever? I doubt that, especially as a history buff I can point out where things were most certainly worse, like the years where we had some diseases running rampant and killing tons of people that we now have cures for.

It's not been the worst year ever, and I doubt the talking pumpkin will do too much damage, or at least irreparable damage. It's sucked for the entertainment industry and a lot of people around my age since actors who we've watched since childhood have started dieing at an alarming rate.

my previous post was both trying to be a bit of humor and pointing out we've done good things too. I don't like to dwell on the shitty side of things even though we do have to talk about those things to some extent. At the end of the day I'd just like everyone to try and end the year on a positive note, but it's most certainly not the worst year ever.

Aya, as I said I wasn't shitting at you, just the idea of "2016! worst year!"

It's been an... educational year to say the least.

Sorry I haven't posted, even thought I said I would, Christmas..... Kinda sucked for me. I bought myself some games, got one as a gift, aaaand then every other part of the past few days sucked ass.
I would say that 2016 was one of the worse years of my life, but that is purely due to my worsening mental state and a lot of horrible things happening to me. 2015 was just as bad though.

Chaosvolt · « **Reply #4536 on:** December 29, 2016, 02:35:28 pm »

Yeah. For me it's mostly been a parade of minor problems building up, but...eh.

Yeah I didn't think you were directing it at me and I even agree with the point so no ill will there. I was attempting to point out the term 'worst year' is really a kind of subjective thing. I agree there's been a lot of complaining into an echo chamber of people agreeing with the complaints which is frustrating, especially when I try to have conversation with people and any time I try to disagree with something about politics it is immediately 'well we do not live in a democracy anymore' or similar bullshit. There's a lack of understanding of our political system which has prevented actual good conversation of politics, but this isn't really the thread for discussing this topic further.

2016 was actually a pretty good year IMO. People are just whiny. Big advances everywhere in terms of tech and science, a shift in the ever increasingly broken US culture beginning to happen, the anti-christ lost the election in favor of a mere idiot, the idiot running my country is losing popularity, etc. etc.

I don't care that some famous people died, personally. Lots of other people, some much more significant in my life, also died. It happens.

I was gonna post about how 2016 was for me, but it's better suited to our venting thread so I am going to type it up there.
