Will "2016" be the new adjective for describing a shitty thing?
How did your date go? Oh it was 2016, won't see her again.
What did you think of the new D.C. Movie? It was 2016.
How did the browns do this season? Same as always, couldn't even be 2016.
No.
Everyone did the same song and dance last year.
They'll do it again next year.
To be honest it annoys me.

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Bitch I know ur fkin freezing
Wear a jacket
You're gonna get sick
Yes.
Performing.
That sure was some performance art.
Because if that wasn't intentionally awful that is the worst performance that has ever happened on New Year's Eve in any context on any stage.
I cringed so hard that I am now permanently cringed.

That analogy is broken because you're comparing legal status to a shift in terminology intended to redefine discourse. Those are fundamentally different things.

I can't rly blame only her, a bunch of ppl planning thought "hey u kno what we need? A pair of boobs in the dead of winter that sing gud"
I dunno. This happened a couple years ago at the tree lighting, only this is worse.
I think she needs to stop signing up for these things or fire her manager or whatever. She's a superstar and she should have some agency; enough to say that this shit isn't working out for her.

any word can be pejorative with enough malice behind it
One time I literally invented an ethnic slur so I could call someone it and have them feel like, offended
It wasn't a real word, I took time to like, make sure that the specific combination of letters wasn't a real word in any language
But it sounded like an ethnic slur, and I certainly used it like one
Other people started using it too, and the person I was using it towards got kinda mad about it
So it was basically a form of gaslighting?
Although tbh I'm not sure if they were mad because they were actually being genuinely gaslit and were mad because they couldn't figure out what the fuck this slur meant
or they were mad because they realized that we were trying to gaslight them and the attempt irritated the shit out of them
I stopped doing it because frankly it was a dickhead move in general

i can't wait for the gym to be filled with weirdos

told me that at the gym he works at, the first new week of every year is called "Resolution Week"
the gym EXPLODES in population for... a week

picked up the D&D game I haven't gotten to play since April with the group today.
We fucked up a dark elf.
I'm a female high elf wizard with shoes enchanted with spider climb (they're yellow crocs) and a staff that can cast lightning and thunder spells once a day.
I don't mean to brag, but when the dark elf went invisible, and we were shooting at random squares, I used prestidigitation to mix the warm dank air in the cave with a sudden cold to make a weak fog which whipped around the invisible elf and then he was stabbed by our monk.

I've got a similar friend who says that January and October are his two biggest financial months in a year, like damn near equal to the other 10 months combined.
are YOU on the beer list?

HAPPY NEW YEAR [CHAT]!
As [chat]'s resident eternal optimist, I'd like to say a few words about the past, the present, and the future.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Some guy wrote that in a book, and it made his kids pretty rich, from what I understand. Not that line in particular, but the book in whole. You know what I mean.
Anyway.
Life is ... pretty sweet, on balance. Louis CK has some thoughts on the subject (indulge me, if you will):
He's got another bit that I'm having trouble turning up, but it's about how we over-complicate things. Life isn't complicated. It isn't. We make it complicated, and sometimes we do that for good, and sometimes for ill. But that discussion is, perhaps, for another day.
My point, today, as we welcome in a new year as determined arbitrarily by a mostly-accurate calendar that approximately maps our planet's orbit around our star, is ... let's endeavor to worry a little less, and endeavor to endeavor a little more.
Endeavor. That's a cool word, isn't it? It's the name of a space shuttle. The shuttle, as a matter of fact, that was built to replace Challenger after that infamous launch disaster. We were pushing our limits on that cold January morn, and it bit us in the ass. We lost good people that day. We've lost a lot of good people this year too, haven't we?
And you know, the Challenger disaster grounded us for a while. It knocked us on our asses, and it took us a little while to get up, dust ourselves off, and try again. But we did try again. We endeavored to continue to push our limits, and many of the Shuttle's greatest successes - visits to Mir, launching Hubble, and building the International Space Station - came in the aftermath of the Challenger disaster.
I'm hoping you're getting the analogy by now. 2016 had some shitty events in it, didn't it? Some global, some national, and some personal. There's a looming orange threat hanging over the American Presidency, and none of us are sure how to feel about that. We've definitely been knocked on our asses.
I guess we oughta just pack up our bags and head home. Y'know, give up ... right?
That's not the world I know. That's not how life on this planet works, and it never has and it never will!
As we stride into 2017, my friends, let us endeavor to endeavor. Let's put in the work. Let's be the change we want to see.
To close, some words that are very dear to my heart. Written days before he passed, Member of Parliament and leader of the New Democrat Party Jack Layton penned these final thoughts:
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic.
And we'll change the world.
With all the love, hope, and optimism in my heart, [chat]: Happy 2017.
Be good to yourself and to each other.

be kind to yourself and make good decisions

is it about the empty promise of Hollywood
it looks like it's about the empty promise of Hollywood
In fairness, 2015 was pretty bad for me personally.
I just wasn't prepared for what would happen in 2016. Jumped the gun on assuming what terrible looked like.

We realized in time that the one that was on TV wasn't actually live and we're behind by 3 hours, and streamed the CBC one.
It consisted of Rick Mercer being Rick Mercer, the countdown, and then a Rant so... way better than whatever you Americans had.
2016 is the new 2012

This Hulu commercial has grown on me
At least 2016 is over now.
*tosses it on the neighbor's roof*
My New Years resolution is to stop having to clean copies of Twilight off of my own roof.
This is much simpler!
I'ma fuck you so optimistically, shit'll change your goddamn life
FUCK. YES.
::tosses a copy of Interview with a Vampire on Narwhal's neighbors roof::
Nothing else was open tonight so this was all I could get at the thrift store.
If it wasn't for the fact that I bought a bunch of awful and fantastic tshirts today 2017 would already be on notice
