Expensive. Everything is now so damn expensive suddenly.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Exactly what I came to say.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 2 points 2 years ago

And they're trying to gaslight us into thinking they're not

The Year of Loss.

Lost my childhood home. Lost my mom. Lost most of my cats. Lost my wife. Lost my sanity...

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

I'm sorry for all your losses and hope that next year will be a year of healing and happiness for you.

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 11 points 2 years ago

I lost one of those things and it was heartbreaking. I can only imagine the pain you are in right now. Here's to a better 2024. 🥂

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 2 points 2 years ago

Yikes. My condolences. (Especially about the cats)

[–] impiri@lemm.ee 44 points 2 years ago

2016, Part 8

Late stage capitalism on steroids

[–] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

As someone else put it: 2020-4

[–] GingeyBook@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Graduated college, got a job, got engaged, bought a house

W year

[–] flooppoolf@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Congratulations 🩷

[–] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

Not great, but it absolutely could have been worse.

[–] Zevlen@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The Year when people learn the word "Global Inequality" ...

It's not just shitty to live in US; It's shitty to live anywhere now.

Thanks Global Corporations and thanks Governments for doing absolutely nothing about the Global Elite/ global monopolies... Oh and thank You Religions; You also suck balls.

[–] Nonameuser678@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Pretty good for me on a personal and professional level, but pretty shitty in the general world sense. We had a referendum in my country about including Indigenous Australians into our constitution. It failed to pass and was just a shitty few months overall, especially for our first nations people. The level of income and wealth inequality feels like it nosedived in the wrong direction. The 'K shaped recovery' from covid is now very apparent. And the climate crises is getting worse, one of the scariest images I saw this year was the Antarctic sea ice graph.

[–] pythonhugs@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Dumpster fire

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Kissinger died, so looking up

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

Coulda been worse. Not by much, but look at the hell coaster we had just gotten off of

[–] neidu@feddit.nl 8 points 2 years ago

The year Henry Kissinger finally got a public toilet erected with his name on.

Rest in piss, ghoul

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

The middle of the end.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I'd rate it two out of five stars.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

The year of the beginning of the AI revolution, of the end of social media, of rising labor movements, of fallen titans orlf industries, of Barbies, and of Oppenheimers, and of rediscovering sincerity in a world full of absurdities.

The year of great changes yet to come.

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Too fucking close to 1.5C for our sakes

[–] Bluehood380@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Continuation to hell/shit

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I think 2023 works as a label.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 5 points 2 years ago

I miss the 80s.

A foreshadowing of what 2024 will bring us.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
[–] Pirasp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

To me, of say: Sad, frustrating but also freeing. Lots of stuff changed in my life this year...

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

It's just slightly better than 2020, but barely, and that's being nice

[–] DarkMessiah@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The last year I could barely afford things, if prices keep going the way they are.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I finally remember the fact that Loreen existed.

Also, the Holy Land isn't so holy after all thanks to the constant fighting that actually got worse last month.

We all left Reddit. And Twitter.

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

[–] rip_art_bell@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Annoying on many levels

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

Personally- great, a lot of good stuff happened. And ai have even more to look forward to in the coming year, as we prepare to take our relationship to the next level :)

But more broadly, I'm very concerned about another Jan 6th/2016 approaching next year. What it means for us, our friends and neighbors, and Ukraine. So that is kind of floating over me. I can't rest easy until the orange menace steps down, dies, or is permanently disfigured with some sort of shitting disease or something. And their team keeps losing political will the longer democrats keep the country going. Please, let's all vote next year.

As in most years, Dave Barry will have plenty of content for 'the Review.'

[–] Dvixen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The year of exclusion and wanting to cease existing.

[–] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Less disastrous than the past few years.

[–] AlexTheTurtle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

For me it was ok until the Palestinian genocide tbh. That news made me really depressed. Other than that 4/10, at least the horrible stuff isnt happening to me
