Shit. I just realized that if I ever run for office, someone is going to dredge up my old comics. I'd have to concede the race in disgrace.
2016 disproves this.
Well, you'd be able to stay in the race, and win, provided you're a monstrous shit of a human being whose closed eyes look like little versions of your mouth.
the balance of informed and sane and ignorant is tough of course
"TL DR"
I stopped reading the news a couple years ago and it slightly improved my mood, but social media (even if you are not on facebook or twitter, which I am not) ends up giving you a shitton of news anyway.
I talked to my dad last night and he hasn't engaged with the news since last month. "I just keep the radio on classical music. Like in the Soviet Union, after someone died."
Then we had a depressing discussion about what does our field of work even mean if we're 'going to be sharing a common currency with Russia', because not engaging with the news doesn't fully protect you, really, from all the bad feels.

Saying 2016 is a good year,however, is borderline offensive
so this cheeky article works from the presumption that being aware of what's going on via the news has some impact on something
and the point of what I posted earlier, I think, is that it doesn't
so if you want to do something, do it
but wallowing in information 'feels' like you're doing something -- I'm so mad about X cabinet appointment! -- but it's not, and it makes you miserable

-Sees you when you're sleeping
-Knows when you're awake
-Knows when you've been bad or good
There's no mention of him monitoring you while awake, where you actually perform nice or naughty acts. Therefore we are forced to assume he just knows if you've been bad or good. He also simply knows when you're awake, so he also knows when you're asleep. Conclusion?
I'm kinda over the 2016 hate. Oh it sucks. Feel free to say how much. 2017 is gonna make this look like a blowjob factory.
Yeah but if you get shot you don't say "Oh man, that period of time when I was trying to stem the bleeding really sucked." We're in the period of time when we're rolling down an icy mountain road just after we realize someone cut the brakes

Santa watches you sleep because he likes to.
So Santa is definitely team Edward.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

everyone being aware and outraged over something occasionally does impact change, you see it often with X CEO resigning over public scandal or whatever
Trump doesn't give a shit tho so who knows

How does the blowjob factory work? Is it making sex bots or are you packaging like little one-use vacuum bubbles?

Santa doesn't have a crystal ball. He can only exist in corporeal form in the presence of humans if they're asleep. That's why you tell kids if they don't go to sleep Santa won't come. He's able to discern awake status through a form of telepathy, and knowing when you're good/bad is conveyed by Santa-sense.
Spent forever tracking down this form in our Sharepoint site. Realized I needed to install Sharepoint Designer. Did that. Located the form. Opened it for editing in InfoPath.
Can't edit it, even after saving a local copy to my PC.
Death to America.
Ok, I have the template open and editable in InfoPath. I am still not sure what changed that is allowing editing, though, so my computer is never getting rebooted again.
America is safe, for now.

2016 was fine, and 2017 isn't bringing about the nuclear holocaust, nor is anyone getting rounded up into camps.
You're all going to be fine.

Trump doesn't give a shit tho so who knows
I don't think that's even true though?
the CEO doesn't resign because people are mad after reading an article, the CEO resigns because you're mad AND you stop buying products (or threaten to) or it damages the brand ($$) or whatever
if I read the article about a climate skeptic being appointed the head of the EPA, I am mad
but unless I take some action on that information, my life is worse and the world is no better off

In every class there is the one guy who fixates on the dumbest shit.
The year hope lost and fear reigned
The year many women elected a rapist
The year America's apathy fucked us all for decades to come
The year misogyny won
The year racism won
The year we began our most corrupt government to date

A blowjob factory would be horrible
Imagine the defects
"This factory is great! Unlike our competitors, only 2% of the blowjobs manufactured here result in irreparable genital mutilation!"
