David Bowie died, a gorilla named Harambe became a pop culture icon, and Hillary Clinton broke the glass ceiling by being the first woman to lose a presidential election to a guy who's not even a politician.

Cam someone explain what the fucking Harambe gorilla outrage is about? Is it because the toddler and parents were black and people look for any excuse to release their racism?
I mean shit, accidents happen people. There's been thousands and thousands of dumb shit behavior where fucking innocent humans died as well as other animals, but nothing like this dumbass overreacting response.
no one was really outraged or racist, at least to my knowledge...I think you just misinterpreted the Internet latching onto a new meme (dicks out for harambe, etc)
Krispyz · 18 points · Posted at 20:47:32 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Well, people were definitely outraged. There were a lot of people upset that Harambe was shot, petitions hoping to hold the parents of the child responsible for his death. A hell of a lot of people with a misunderstanding of how tranquilizers work thinking that shooting him was taking it too far (tranqs don't drop an animal right away and the pain of the dart would most likely have made the gorilla angry and more likely to kill or injure the kid).
However, the vast majority of the jokes on reddit and the "dicks out for harambe" (slang for guns drawn) was just latching onto a situation to make morbid humor. I don't think there was any real racism involved... aside from people equating Harambe to the black lives matter thing.
dlawoff · 10 points · Posted at 20:38:54 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
No, I saw a bunch of outrage against the parents, and also some outright racist shit. When usually people would be falling over themselves thanking the zoo staff for acting quickly to save a toddler.
And shit like:
"More than 400,000 people have now signed a petition on Change.org, calling for the young boy's parents, Michelle Gregg and Deonne Dickerson, to "be held accountable for lack of supervision and negligence that caused Harambe to lose his life." The petition further states that the boy's parents should be investigated by the authorities, because the parents alleged negligence at the zoo is potentially "reflective of the child's home situation.""

Of course accidents happen and parenst can't watch their children 24/7 but it was far from easy for that toddler to fall in. That's why it hadn't happened before. This kid would have had to be going at it for a few minutes, at least according to others who saw the exhibit. I'm not saying losing a kid for a few minutes is impossible or that the parents in this case were necessarily negligent, but it's understandable that people would be questioning why thousands of kids see the exhibit year in and year out and none of them got in. I think that the sheer amount of people contributing to the outrage has to do with how widespread the meme became and not that it was some great tragedy. In fact that's kind of the whole joke.
In the short time period afterwards, yes people were upset. But then Kim K did something outrageous and they all forgot about it because it wasn't the current outage.
It's because the mother wasn't looking while the child climbed into the pen, and they couldn't safely retrieve the child due to the gorilla seeming aggressive, so they shot him instead.

innumerable more fucked up instances that resulted in the death of humans and animals, but no dicing outrage there.
What? Are you saying that humans aren't allowed to be outraged at something if they haven't been outraged at worse things before? Have you met humans yet? People are inconsistent, flaky, capricious, etc.
Are humans not allowed to be mad over Trump's tax returns if they haven't been equally mad at every injustice committed during their lifetime? I don't follow your logic.
Shouldn't the outrage be directed at the zoo for making it that easy for a toddler to fall into a gorilla enclosure?
What? There was outrage directed at the zoo. They literally had to delete their twitter.
Do you imagine that the parents just don't give a fuck about their child, or are for some reason wholly incapable as parents (despite knowing literally nothing about them other than this accident)?
I'm not the guy you were responding to. I can imagine that the parents give a fuck about their kid and are still shitty parents. That's not a logically difficult position to take.
Have you raised a kid? If so, you're being disingenuous if you believe parents don't often lose track of their kids for short periods of time and that little kids inadvertently get into trouble.
To be clear, letting a kid get out of my sight in my back yard is a little different than letting him get out of my sight at a crowded zoo near a dangerous, poorly-secured enclosure surrounding a 30 foot drop and containing a dangerous animal.

Huh? Read my response. I am not making any judgment. I'm saying that it would be reasonable to make a judgment that parents who let their kid fall into a gorilla enclosure and shitty parents. I didn't make such a judgment, however.
Like I said, you don't know a fucking thing about these people other than this accident and their race.
Actually, I don't know their race. I don't really care about the story; I'm mainly just responding to your frothing-at-the-mouth nonsense.
If you think accidents don't happen, you're a fucking moron.
I'm not a moron; don't call me that.
The fact that accidents happen doesn't mean that this is an excusable accident. People leave kids in a hot car and they die. That's an accident. It doesn't mean that it's forgiveable.
If you think their race makes them less capable parents, you're a fucking racist moron.
To be crystal clear, no one is bringing race into our discussion but you.
Bullshit - either you're an extremely sheltered person living in the boonies, never have been a parent, or, again, an preternaturally lucky or oblivious parent.
Don't tell me about parenting, bucko. You need to have different levels of awareness in different situations. A crowded zoo near dangerous animals is one of those situations where you need to keep a bit closer eye on things.

Think you're the sheltered one mate. Harambe the Meme is the result of multiple short-term outrage-a-thons about various different animals being shot and the resulting witchhunts. The outrage was mocked before, but it really came to fruition as a meme after the Harambe incident. The typical overblown response is exactly what the Harambe meme is satirising. The meme almost died too, until the zoo came out to ask people to stop, which gave it a new prolonged life. You are exactly the kind of person this meme is aimed at. Because you both agree that the outrage is overblown, and don't understand the satire. Hence you breath new life into it every time you respond like this. Dicks out.

I would prefer they be chosen by popular vote, when it comes to a single Head of State on behalf of the nation as a whole.
The "nation as a whole" is essentially a collective contract by the federated states within it to receive collective protection and a centralized mediator in their disputes. That's why "the United States" was treated as a plural noun, with phrases such as "The United States are" or "The United States were" for such a long time after the country's founding.

My father was a die-hard fan of the electoral colleges because he thought that by promoting a two-party system it prevents against extremism. After this election, he changed his mind.
If it weren't for the checks and balances of the US system (which are to some degree working like they should except for the whole Garland thing), this latest election might very well have been an event of democracy imploding in on itself. I'm still going to hate the results, as the Republicans may get control of all three branches, but the three branches are at least going to prevent it from all being a cult of personality around Trump.
If it weren't for the other two branches, I'd venture to call the results of the election a triumph of tyranny of the minority, which is even worse than tyranny of the majority in some sense.
Your father was wrong in that political parties are the reason FOR extremist politics, not a safeguard against them.
There's a reason George Washington warned the American people against political parties. Nearly all of the Founding Fathers hated them when they started to arise, and I'm certain that if they had seen the opening for them when writing the Constitution, they would have quashed them when they had the chance.
The challenge I always give people is this: name one good thing that happened BECAUSE OF, rather than IN SPITE OF, political parties.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 00:43:52 on December 13, 2016 · (Permalink)
He didn't think that political parties were a safeguard against extremist politics; rather, he thought that in the context of political parties, having two parties rather than a multitude was a safeguard against extremism.
The Founding Fathers completely saw the opportunity for political parties while writing the Constitution. The Federalist Papers are littered with references to political parties. I wouldn't say political parties are necessarily good but they are inevitable, so it's kind of a moot point whether they're good or bad.
If you're in a democracy or a representational democracy, numbers play a big part in politics, and as such, you're going to have people coming together to form coalitions in order to get enough people to back some agenda. I'd actually posit that that's probably a good thing, as it does ensure having some compromise in order to get a large enough coalition, which is part of what makes a two-party system seem to be a bulwark against extremism: since you need to get a majority of people to agree on something, it would seem like you'd need something centrist.
The only practical alternative to political parties is to have a central authority strong enough that it can institute all policies or to have a complete lack of central authority. The first alternative, a one-party state, is totalitarian. The second alternative is basically what the founders tried out under the Articles of Confederation, which were a resounding failure.
If you're saying political parties are unmitigatedly bad, you're essentially rejecting democracy.
I hate that argument as it pretends the Presidency is the only position of authority in the government. The States already decide the House and the Senate. There is nothing wrong with letting the People decide the Presidency. Our government has a balance of powers. Letting the popular vote decide one position will not throw our country into ruin.
The popular vote always decided the House, and the Constitution was changed specifically so that the popular vote would decide the Senate.
Popular vote also decides virtually all state governors, legislatures, cabinets, and some state supreme court justices.
The popular vote even--under no Constitutional obligation--decides a state's electors in the Electoral College. It could just as easily been the decision of state governors or legislatures given that the Constitution only describes the number of electors per state but not how they should be chosen. Instead, every state independently chose to choose their electors via popular votes in their states to all be scheduled on the same day.
In that regard, popular votes arguably decide TOO MUCH as it stands right now. Some say that we should return the national Senate to governor appointments, since their job is specifically to represent the state, for the same reason that the electoral college gives additional weight to less populated states.
What we have right now is, barring a nation-wide Nebraska- or Maine-style system, the closest thing that we can even constitutionally have to a popular vote for President. It's important to note, however, that the US was specifically designed to not be a democracy. It's a federal republic with strong democratic traditions.
The popular vote does not decide the House or Senate. Popular vote within regions does, but not the overall popular vote. And popular vote within regions is what decides the Presidency, as well. A nationwide popular vote decides absolutely nothing, so the People have no direct voice.
Yes, within regions, the regions that define what a republic is on its most basic level. The United States of America is a collection of regions, known as federated states, that have agreed to share a couple of things as a collective, as the name describes. The entire design of the United States is that of a federal republic.
And I'm saying that that needs to change. It's an outdated idea that has no place in the Information era. There is no reason my vote should count less than someone else's just because of where I live.
To the contrary, the Information Age has led to a Huxleyan situation in which all of the information one could ever want is open to the public, but the general public can't be bothered to read most of it, which makes them under-informed. The Winston Churchill quote that "the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter" still holds true, and that's the entire reason for the existence of the electoral college in the first place.
The USA is designed as a republic because it prevents a tyranny of the majority. If you want pure democracy, find somewhere that is and enjoy it right up until it implodes the way Athens did.
There wouldn't be any tyranny of the majority if the Presidential election was decided by national popular vote because the House and the Senate would still not be decided by national popular vote.
The House and Senate are decided by state popular vote, when originally only one of the two were chosen by state popular vote. What we have now are two state-level popularity contests, and one weighted system, with certain people campaigning to turn them into three popularity contests and one national popularity contest.

It is broken because we somehow elected Trump to be President. But, I fear that even if we got away from the electoral college, he still would have won. Trump's team would have adjusted, and too many voters just did not care enough.
More than the electoral college, I think that the two party system and the primaries are what makes the system the most broken.

I apologize for the sarcasm, but I do not buy into your definition of a great country. Every nation will have disadvantaged people or requirements for success that are beyond the means of certain people. You can't make these people go extinct. A great country affords it's people a wealth of opportunity, not challenge. The government shields its people from crime, foreign enemies, and natural disaster, why not poverty, ignorance, and poor health?

Yes, and the trend will accelerate. There's just way more famous people than there ever have been in the past, we're seeing the first crop of people who became famous during mass media expansion starting to die off.
So all the people who were celebrities in the 50s/60s/70s will die, and there are an order of magnitude more people who became famous in the 80s/90s/00s.
I'm certain this point will have been made before elsewhere, and more eloquently, but we should all prepare for our heroes to die in the next few years. Even though people like Prince died young, the fact is that many of the icons of popular culture are getting on a bit now.

I think the most obvious explanation is that somewhere a time traveler murdered a bunch of baby hitlers. It's the only way this timeline looks good by comparison.
He likely exits our physical dimensions sometime in the current year or near future. His re-entry would drop him in late 1980s, where he would go into hiding to minimize his butterfly effect. Once our original time axis and the one that diverged on his re-entry gravitate into one another (evidenced by the retroactive change if the Berenstain Bears, for one thing), he would be free to meddle with our world using knowledge of the future starting in the late 2000s.

Sibling bonds are usually made between the early years of childhood. He was like 8 or something when he started living with them. By then you won't see yourself as part of the family but more just a welcomed guest. From a psychological stand point it's pretty believeable. It's more the social stigma that comes with your step/adopted siblings.
IIRC there's an age where you develop an aversion to the people you grow up with. Once you hit 10 years old you have passed that age. I'm not saying it's not weird, but it's not impossible. She's attractive. Have you never seen or heard stories of step siblings getting together in their teenage years? Or consider that step sister is one of the most popular searchs on pornhub in 2015 and its not as weird as you might immediately assume.
That being said, maybe psychology works differently on that earth. And if that's your biggest disconnect between reality and that TV show, then I'd say they did a damn fine job suspending your disbelief.
Yeah, but Barry still wanted that ass before he learned all that shit. It's still disturbing.
Why though? He knows she isn't his sister. She knows he isn't her brother. Joe 'raising' him doesn't change that. (I put raising in quotes because he wasn't a total kid when RF killed his mom)
When they're not trying to be with each other they remind me so much of my childhood friend and me. People of the opposite sex that just see each other as siblings.
Bring back Spivot.

They lived in the same house for at least 8 years. Together. Ugh.
Yes! Where did she go? I was so hopeful she would get her own spinoff or something. She was too smart for Barry and asked too many logical questions anyway.
Heh. /u/Wheres_Wally talking about the Flash. Either way, Patty knows that he is the Flash as of the last episode she was in. That really should have solved the problem.
Are you and your childhood friend completely hot underwear models? Cause if not, I'm not sure it's exactly the same thing...

I won't say it disgusts me, since I'm pretty sure Joe never legally adopted him. But it is weird when Joe goes from calling Barry his son to basically telling him to get with Iris.
And then there was the whole thing where Iris was like "you have to be comfortable hooking up with me in front of my dad."

I would actually suggest this is different than Murphy's Law, which dictates that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. I'm suggesting that anything that can get dumber will get dumber. The dumb future can be both good and bad, but only insofar as either are dumb.
For example, consider a nice vacation to the beach that you have planned. Murphy's Law would dictate that your travel will be delayed, the beach will be rainy, the hotel will have bedbugs, and you'll get stung by a jellyfish. I would counter that most of those things are far too reasonable. Instead, in this timeline the travel will take you to the mountains instead of the beach, the mountains will have a wildfire and an avalanche at the same time, the resulting disaster will permit you free lodging, and you'll actually have a nice time if you just give up.

This is why he won. Because of stuck up people like you. You're just making generalizations. What you've said is exactly what it would be like if I said all (or however you danced around saying "all") black people are criminals.
I don't like either candidate but the republican economic policy is a big draw every election. Some people just want less government involvement in their money. Also it would help that he doesn't want to go to war with a nuclear powerhouse. People like to think that Trump was elected by stupid people but there are valid reasons why he would be more preferable to someone's wellbeing than a Democrat.

If you pay attention to the last 15 years, the United States had developed a unilateralist, interventionist foreign policy that says they could use military force to overthrow sovereign countries and install pro-American governments. This happened in Iraq, Venezuela, Libya, Syria, Honduras, Somalia, (most likely also Egypt and Ukraine) and is probably ongoing for many more countries (Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Cuba, Philippines). After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, many Neo-Reaganite (now called neoconservatives) saw this as an opportunity to increase American influence and power in the world and they got their chance in 2000.
This would call for an increase in the military budget, CIA covert ops destabilizing other countries, an emphasis on drone warfare (high availability, fast dispatch, bypass congress through commander in chief authorization), subterfuge to maintain their public image, and economic dishonesty to prevent a new rival from appearing in the world stage, that is, Russia or China. There's a reason why they still list China as a "developing country" (though China uses it to ward off responsibility) and why the US has military bases surrounding both those countries.
So, what does this all mean? The US has no interest in working with the other nations not aligned with it and any expression of international cooperation is veiled with hostility. So, don't be surprised by Russian or Chinese "aggression". Clinton was the worse choice in terms of foreign policy because as Secretary of State, she may have done what she thought was right for the United States but it clearly was not and she cannot take back the decisions she'd made nor amend those relationships. At least Trump represented a shift in ideology.
Domestically, it doesn't even matter what they say between Trump or Clinton. It's controlled by congress, and by proxy, is run by corporations and special interests.

I liken it to a simulation, probably written by Kurt Vonnegut or a Tralfamadorian.

"My name is Barry Allen, and I am the fastest man alive. To the outside world, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly, with the help of my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs, I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me"
I couldn't agree with this more. So many completely shitty, previously unthinkable things have happened this year that I cannot disprove your hypothesis. Thank you UmbraNight.
ha I've been saying this to my missus for weeks. It's the only rational explanation.
"Multiple universes mean anything is possible. There's a great universe where pot is legal, then there's a really retarded universe where, say, Donald Trump is President, and then there's a backwards-ass wacko universe where both of those things happen at the same time"
"hahaha that's fucking crazy man. Universe weird as shit."
Jokingly enough on election day I got so pissed at my mother I told her I hoped she walked into a worm hole with Trump as supreme dictator President on the other side. I funding ran into it.
People talk about all these celebrity deaths... Everyone glazes over the fact that large portions of the Eastern U.S. were literally on fire and cities and forests burned down. Plus in certain areas smoke covered hundreds of miles, making it unhealthy to breathe.

Yes!! I mean, say what you want about Justin Bieber (guy seems like a complete douche), the kid could (can) sing. The Internet changed his life and gained him recognition for his talent. Think of how many people there are out there who don't even have the time or opportunity to even discover they're amazing at something, as well as the people who know but don't have anywhere to show it.
The Internet is hands down the most transformative technology we've ever created as a collective. There are many, many standouts in history, but I don't think anything has the capacity to transform our societies and cultures the way the Internet has and will. It's like the Industrial Revolution on steroids, and we're only in its infancy.

That's nonsense. It's vice versa. I don't care if it's poetry.
There are lots of things that go into a good work of fiction.
A fictional world can be crazy but it needs to be internally consistent. You can't just give Gandalf a gun.
Information needs to build up to something. In fiction a simple cough is huge. That news report is important for the main character. That gun on the wall will be used.
Information needs to be built up from something. If there's a plot twist it needs to have been foreshadowed. If someone fires a gun it needs to be shown that the person had access to a gun. Nobody likes deus ex machina.
Works of fiction have order to them. If that order is broken it's not a work of fiction that people will enjoy.
Real life is downright chaotic by comparison.

Your comment is just a bunch of words. Seems to be a tradition among humans.
They already were. Which country is there that is so focused on everyone being able to make their own life earning lots of cash and being free while at the same time, for most people, this doesn't remotely hold true? This is already reality TV set up for failure. Of course the social justice is fumbling to somehow solve anything but keeps enacting fights among themselves. This is already largely reality TV to many europeans. A rich country that is still getting so much at their own throats now.
Yet Europe is going in the same anti-establishment, far-right direction, where things like logic, integrity and honesty are being replaced by hipocrisy, fanaticism, radicalism and geopolitical short-sightedness.
We're slowly following the American example it seems. I love when German politicans say "don't fall into anti americanism, theyre our best friends!"
But that whole anti-establishment isn't really what we're feeling in Germany at all. The "autonomous left" are insulted away for a big German "family", which is very right-wing but doesn't have much to do with anti-establishment.

Ya know, if trump getting elected seems out of reality to you, maybe it's you who doesn't have a firm grasp on reality.
Not calling you out specifically, I feel that much of the left created a situation where they were in a bubble, unaware of what was going on with the election and many still don't't get what happened.
It's an oversimplification to be sure, so you're not wrong there. I wasn't going for in-depth analysis.
But the implication isn't that his getting elected was outside of reality, (in fact I didn't find it too surprising)… rather it refers to voters' unrealistic expectations and the abandonment of science, economics, logic… (e.g. global warming doesn't exist, manufacturing jobs are about to boom, massive tax cuts for the top 0.1% are good for the middle class, Mexico's going to pay for the wall… that is what is meant by abandoning reality)

I feel like you're unknowingly simplifying again.
The "silent majority" who got trump into office is less sympathetic to Keynesian economics, and more to Austrian, although they probably only know of Friedman.
As for the wall, yeah idk how that's supposed to happen, but everyone's off reality on some things.
Jesus he didn't even win the silent majority. I mean yes he won the electoral college but let's not act like most people voted for him, they didn't by 2,600,000 votes.

Yes however this brings up the question of why do we not have a direct democracy?
There are incredibly good reasons and the founding fathers spoke about them and did everything they could to make the US a Democratic republic and not a direct democracy
There are various pros and cons to either really. There is some suggestion slavery helped inform the opinion of the founders as to why it was a better system. If we get rid of it, urban areas will decide the elections hands down, if we leave it in place rural votes are over valued and a few swing states decide. Neither is really fully ideal, fortunately the popular vote and electoral college mostly align. It is disconcerting however that 2 out of the (4?) times it hasn't have been in the last 16 years. I hope it isn't a harbinger of more to come because it will be disruptive to our country.

Which was obviously paid for by the Clinton campaign because it appeared a couple of weeks before the election, was submitted anonymously and withdrawn, despite the anonymous person receiving death threats. From who? In addition it was purported to happen at Jeffrey Epstein's insane parties at his New York flat and Trump is known to not partake in any mind altering substances and completely and immediately severed ties with the sicko when he got caught.
You know you need absolutely no evidence or anything to start a civil suit? And when it comes to rape it's the sort of thing that should be a CRIMINAL suit, with a plausible story to boot. I could start an anonymous civil case right tomorrow saying you raped me at one of Epstein's parties and nobody could do anything about it until the court threw the bullshit case out.

He decides to not stand for the job and backs Theresa May who eventually wins and makes him the British foreign secretary
I would say: we've got only three weeks for Obama's final executive order after a major mainland U.S. terrorist attack that would justify the extension of his tenure.

If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.
Seriously, what was so unrealistic about this year? Don't we all live in a universe of utter chaos and aren't our lives cosmic accidents. Why would we have hard and fast rules in a universe like this?
Anything can happen and according to many popular theories does happen.

I want to mention the conspiracy between the Brezil president Roussef and Lula so the latter one could save himself that seemed more unrealistic than many things that happened in House of Cards.
I like Trump and everything, but it took me so long to realize after he started running that he had a shot at winning. Hes just such a ridiculous, outlandish candidate that I laughed him off for so long.
I think a lot of other people did too.

People got so sick of mass shootings, violence, and shitty politics that they coped by worshipping a dead gorilla
You know I've been thinking about the growing "absurdism" in popular culture. Earlier people used to believe in Gods, spirituality, and such. But, as time moves forward we're being disenchanted by almost all major belief systems. It's like all of a sudden a significant portion of the population went all nihilist and started indulging in anything. Like we realized that life is inherently useless and existence is nothing more than a cosmic accident, so we're just gonna do whatever we feel like, that's sometimes good sometimes bad.

And yet spiritually we still yearn for something greater.
I think you can thank WWII for a lot of that. I also think that you're overestimating how many people are disenfranchised and gave up on their religion. I'd say an overwhelming majority of humans still believe in gods, spirituality, etc.
We don't worship a gorilla to cope for anything. We worship him because he sacrificed himself to purify mankind, you animal. We remember him because the hit was an inside job; he had clinton's emails and was going to release them. We love him because he was murdered while trying to give a small child a memory to last the rest of his life.

Well, to be fair, my cat wasn't putting out good music days before his death.
I wasn't sure exactly, but our conversation got me curious so I did some reading. He stopped twelve years ago, in 2004. The cool thing is, I know that lungs do have some regenerative capacity. Anyway, I read an interview where he said that he tried not to smoke around Iman and that he wanted to get serious about quitting when they started getting serious about having children. Here's a link to the article:
bigissue.com/features/interviews/6181/david-bowie-interview-im-easygoing-about-death-itll-happen-when-it-happens

Refrigeration seems probable to me; keeping dead beings frozen for days seems dangerous. Microwaving might have health effects as well.
Ha ha, "dead beings frozen for days"! I mean, that is actually what we are doing!
Ah, microwaving. I looked into this a long time ago. I seem to recall there was some loss of nutrients but not much else found. I haven't looked into it in a long time, though.
Isn't there some basis for concerns about phones in pockets and laptops on laps? Something about fertility? I think the laptop thing was strictly from heat?

Memetic has to do with memory or mentality. It's just another word for 'magic' over there. That's an easy excuse.
Got a coffin that kills you if you look through camera feeds? How does it do it? Why it's memetic of course, next SCP.
Why couldn't it be something more bizarre? Like it causes internal hemorrhaging because of the screen display. The coffin creates such complicated images on the screen that the display can't handle it, causing it to produce high pitched squeals from the circuitry.
Those squeals vibrate through your bloodstream and cause arteries to burst.
They don't do that because then the containment procedure is easy - if it makes LCD screens cause hemorrhaging, dig out a CRT.
The value of a "memetic" effect is that it's conveyed by the meaning of the picture/concept/words/etc rather than the means of transmission. So containment is actually hard, because it's not just a question of changing the font size.
That said, I agree it's a well they use too often.

SCP-2016-1, henceforth referred to as "'President' Donald Trump" is to be kept at SCP Blacksite 3 in a 10x10x5m cell. He is to be provided with clothing, food and water, and, pending good behaviour, access to a dummy audience of trained SCP agents disguised as a cross-section of his consitituents trained in the arts of gag reflex suppression to which Trump may preach to for a period of time that is not to exceed thirty (30) minutes per day. He is, under no circumstances, to be allowed access to internet social media of ANY kind.
SCP-2016-2, henceforth referred to as "Death" is to be given a firm slap in the face and told to knock it the fuck off.
Description - SCP-2016 is a period of 365.25 days between the years 2015ad and 2017ad whereupon everything sucked for no discernable reason. The most perversely unlucky, unfortunate, and just plain awful things occured in consecutive fashion with no apparent cause. This period of time was unlucky enough to baffle experts in Murphy's Law. Childrens book author Lemony Snickett is being questioned regarding his probable involvement in orchestrating this catastrophic chain of events.

That made my evening.
I have to write a letter to my co-op council thing regarding the high water bill they've slapped on me. I can predict how this will go, so, having nothing to lose, I want to write it SCP style.
The bad ones use it as a "magical" tool to make you think of the worst possible thing and scare yourself instead or hiding key information, kind of like the "don't show the whole monster" in movies.
"People who come across 2016 suddenly [Redacted]. 2 hours later they [Redacted] but their eyes are [Redacted] in hyperrealistic ways"
110-Montauk is one of the more extreme examples, but seriously, whatever they write isn't going to be as extreme or awful as anything you will imagine, simply because writing down the graphic torture involved in that procedure will just make it seem silly and ridiculous.
I also hate that the author says that 110-Montauk is "whatever you think it is" and says stuff like "my writing isn't doing anything to those girls, you are."
I'm of the opinion that if you redact stuff, you need to have a definite idea of what it is, don't just leave it open to interpretation. Even if you never tell anybody, it just makes for better writing.
I'm pretty sure Clef's said he knows what 110-Montauk is, but realizes that if he ever says what it is it will be less horrific than what some people think it is.

that's kind of the opposite point of redacting information anyway surely? I mean, there's no details there, you may as well publish nothing. The things you wanna redact is shit that makes the events verifiable, which basically means you just wanna leave out dates times and names of places, people, or other specific entities. Why would you ever publish information if you're redacting the parts that make it noteworthy whatsoever?
It isn't as rare as you think. Having been in the community for albeit a few months, usually the scips (SCPs) that succeed more are the ones that use redactions sparingly. A good way to use them, from what I've seen, is to add a fear of the unknown by blocking specific details to get the reader to think what is happening is scarier than it really is. It is also used to either add a sense of mystery or when the author is too lazy to write something complicated. Redactions were used a lot more in the early days of the SCP Wiki, but are being used less and less now. Those old scips that use redactions a lot (such as SCP-579 ) are fairly controversial in the community. There are also quite a few good scips posted weekly, with most of the bad ones getting deleted.

Horror is really subjetive, and is one of those things were adding/extracting something a little more than you should ruins it.
It's not the same reading:
"Traces of [Redacted] were found inside on the victim's body"
than:
"Traces of blood, mucus, [redacted] and animal organs were found inside the victim's body"
and then probably:
"Traces of blood, mucus, [Redacted] ,[Redacted] , 5 Kgs of [Redacted] , a big [Redacted] and its 7 children were found inside the victim's body."
There's always a balance, and in horror it's kind of hard to get it right most of times.
[deleted] · 3 points · Posted at 00:23:25 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
I tend to agree with your original contention, that the worst usages try to handwave it as an instruction to the reader to just "{Imagine Something Scary Here}" because the author couldn't come up with anything, or because they didn't trust their instincts about what they did come up with. The writer guidelines say that if you expunge or redact something then you, the writer, should at least know in your head what's actually being removed, but obviously not everyone will do that.
In the other case though, it strikes me as insecurity sometimes when something is removed, or like the writer was trying to please all of the people all of the time. The best SCPs that use this ambiguity, in my opinion, at least frame the horror in some kind of narrow context. They make it clear that the tone of an entry is a certain type of horror and then leave the specifics up to you, or, like SCP-231, they leave Procedure 110-Montauk up to your imagination, but it's pretty clear who it's being done to, under what conditions, and that it's horrible.
If I have to do all the work imagining the scary stuff, I have to ask myself why I'm reading that person's SCP and not just writing my own.
It really depends on how it is used. The unknown is typically scarier than the known, but if you overuse the unknown horror card it stops being scary and ends up taking away from the intended horror. The example /u/IGiveTrustIssues provides is how not to use redactions effectively, with them being used repeatedly instead of sparsely and as a result not being scary. If you constantly use it you take away from that fear and it ends up looking like the author got really lazy.
Of course, like many things horror is subjective. For some body horror is the scariest thing, and for others Lovecraftian horror is the scariest. So it basically varies on how it is used and your personal horror tastes.
[redacted] and [data expunged], in the context of the lore, is when the super higher ups (05s) remove something completely. They should only be used when even other 05s shouldn't see what is going on. The black boxes are used when information is known, but the average reader shouldn't know. Ex: names, addresses.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 00:24:56 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
They were both commenting on the specific application of expunging data as a tool to make the reader imagine the scary stuff, though, with opposite opinions on whether that's good writing or not. I thought it'd be interesting to get their opinions on why they feel that way.

Secure Contain Protect. It's a cool website where writers post stories about monsters and other weird things. I don't do it any justice, check it out yourself! http://www.scp-wiki.net/
So true everyone on this site just bitches and moans. America is so fucking great, did you wake up to a cluster bomb? You have clean water? No, most likely you didn't. A lot of people can't say the same thing. Did Obama put that sandwich on your plate? No you did that. Did he call every night before bed? Nope. Your life will be ok, you've created your own opportunity to get you this far. You'll all be ok now stop fucking bitching about things you can't change and try and work together.
TL;DR Quit bitching, it'll all work out in the end.
Ha. Obama didn't do anything, but Trump is going to mess up things for a lot of people. I hope and pray that he helps everyone. But his picks for his White House looks grim. Trumps policies look like they were very bad of America as a whole. The environment might take huge hit because Trump doesn't believe Climate change is a thing. Also I see that insurance is too high, doesn't protect me, then goes up when something does happen. House, Health, Car all of them are a joke, because even though I have "full coverage" somethings that happened to me weren't covered, and rates went up. I see Oligopolies everywhere meaning that things are out of my price range because there is so many laws by lobbyist and Corporations that they don't truly compete. I may be ok for the time being, but millions of people around the world will die because of the pollution, of their air, their water and taking their resources. I may be ok with my job, but millions of cities are becoming ghost towns because jobs were taken by cheap labor, and automated. Should those people be working in a factory? Maybe, maybe not, I know that if you are too poor to go to college, you will more then likely struggle. Too many places want a 4 year degree for entry level work that doesn't really need the degree. So yes you are right, I will be fine, but my health, home, car, and world could all be lost because the rich are hurting me and our world with their power of corruption. Which Trump is further pushing forward and lied to the American people who did vote for him.
Listen I didn't vote for him, also this has nothing to do with Obama. People have to understand that bitching on a comment board won't help, all I'm saying.
Oh I agree, people just like to blame Obama for everything. Many of my Rust belt friends will complain all day about how Obama hurt them. When really Obama didn't do much because he didn't have the House or Senate. I never said you voted for him, I am just expressing my concerned about Trump, and his policies. Also shutting up about Trump will just give his supports a louder voice. Trump spreads lies, we might as well try to tell the Truths of his horrible nature. I agree though complaining will do almost nothing in the over all view of the world. But informing people can't hurt.
Oh and saying that complaining on the internet won't do anything isn't 100% true. My Facebook was full of false information that people believe and vote that way. Reddit might have little effect but Facebook helps spread lies about everything. 1 like = 1 pray!!1!!1! remember those?
It's a collaborative creative writing community totally true stories of various supernatural anomalies and the Foundation that is charged with keeping them from destroying the planet/universe.
Every object is given a reference number and is usually referred to as SCP-XXX. So SCP-173 refers to the story that inspired the whole thing: a Weeping Angel type thing that will murder you the instant no one is looking at it (the time it takes to blink is all it needs).
SCP entries range from super fucking creepy anomalies (an infinite staircase descending into darkness inhabited by a crying/screaming girl) to amusing quirks of nature (a community of sentient communist spiders) to objects/creatures that want to, and are capable of, destroying humanity (at least 500 different entries at this point).

I don't know, but it's probably not a good sign for the EU if a euroskeptical French president is elected. With UK out, there are effectively two sources of economic power left in the EU: France and Germany. If France falls, that's the game.
You're probably thinking of AfD (Alternative for Germany), a group with similar views in Germany. Le Pen's probably not going to win (although given 2016 I don't think we can make any predictions) due to the fact that the socialists and conservatives will unite to oppose her, but it'll be a lot closer than liberal-minded people would like.
Not much, at least for the Presidentials. She may reach 2nd tour (heck, she may win the 1st one) but she will lose to the coalition of the hegemonic parties.
I mean the vast majority of "alternatives right" typically are just trolly Internet types. Add in that Nazis were socialists and that anarchy and libertarians share the same space and horseshoe doesn't make sense.
Tories won't. Standard privatization fair. Defund to failure, complain, tell everyone the private sector could do it better, sell it to your rent-seeking mates.

[deleted] · 5 points · Posted at 19:46:59 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Another case where I don't understand why it was removed. Your company had a knee jerk reaction to fake news, where everyone who had any idea what was going on knew it was fake news. Good ol fashioned liberal knee jerk reactions
“Basically, I interspersed various nuggets of truth and exaggerated a lot of things, and sometimes outright lied — in the interest of making a journalist believe that online Trump supporters are largely a group of meme-jihadis who use a cartoon frog to push Nazi propaganda. Because this was funny to me. The idea that every major Trump supporter online is secretly a neo-Nazi, for one. I mean, it’s just not true. But it’s the kind of thing that a journalist will readily believe.”
A good chunk of this stuff is just because horrifying people is seen as funny.
These people are just as likely to photoshop party hats onto aborted fetuses from a clinic and sent them in the mail to a church as to make neo-nazi memes.
But the widespread nature of outrage on the political left has sent a lot of these groups firmly towards the right (at least temporarily).
Hillary Clinton, probably one of the most powerful women on the planet, got torpedoed by an 80s stereotype aided by cartoon-frog-loving autistic children who quite literally brought the global media to it's knees.
Welp, the Clinton campaign bought it. Shit you not, this link was on her official website. And to think they only blame Russia for shooting themselves in the foot.
So basically she feels like she needs to tell people what is racist and what isn't, like people can't do that for themselves. That shit just pisses me off honestly
What? That makes no sense. The reason anybody tells anybody anything is because they think it needs to be said. Are you searching for reasons to be offended?
Oh my god, just stop. The only reason she thinks it 'needs to be said' is because it supports her cause. This doesn't even going into the logic she uses "These people like this picture, therefore this picture represents these people"
But that makes sense. Getting mad at the specific thing she says and does. It doesn't make sense to get mad because "she thinks she can tell us what X is like we can't do it out ourselves" makes no sense because thats just what happens when anybody says a thing.
Trust me, I'm open minded, I try to understand people's viewpoints on issues. But no matter how much "evidence" I looked at with the pizza thing, in the end it felt like a big joke like someone went "Let's see if we can turn this random email about pizza into a conspiracy theory on the internet"
Basement dwellers doing word searches for "pizza" in John Podesta's e-mails and attaching nefarious meanings to each result is one of the more hilarious and sad things that 2016 gave us.
I just wish the evil masterminds who devised the conspiracy would use their powers for good...or at least chaotic neutral.
I still think it's stupid, if Pepe was an offensive stereotype of anyone, it oughtta be the French rather than the Jews. Pepe is a French name, "frog" is a disused offensive term used to refer to the French...
Holy shit the "pepe is racist" thing is insane. It even showed up in some newspapers here in Italy. And obviously they were very serious 'bout that. The world is going crazy, man.
Well there are also a shit ton of racist pepe's out there. It certainly doesn't help that crazy fringe white supremacists on twitter use it as their mascot.
That's a dumb argument, if there was a shit ton of racist Hey Arnold meme and white supremacists used him as their mascot people who think the same thing.
There'd also be about 20,000 times more non-racist Hey Arnold memes not limited to Helga porn, football head sports memes, and ones about the grandma and grandpa
Whats so funny about this whole thing is that you guys are equating a cartoon that was used by everyone to express a feeling into a symbolism of hate. It's like saying Hitler breathed air, stop breathing now to fight fascism. That's how retarded you sound.

Where... were these? Where are these mythical memes I've heard of? If I take a picture of your face and superimpose "BRING BACK SEGREGATION" upon it and publish it, is it your face now that is racist or me?
The swatstica if I heard right was a symbol of peace or something like that. But because of its use by a "hate group" it has become something completely different. Tradition says that Paul requested upside down crucifixion as to avoid resembling the death of Christ, so the upside down cross became a powerful Christian symbol. Now it's associated with satanism, the occult, and in general is a middle finger to Christianity.
Same thing I guess with pepe, but a little less... Dramatic.

The Swastika was used as the symbol of an indomitable military force which carried out the deaths of millions. It is reasonable that it would become distasteful.
Pepe was used by the 'alt-right' in apparently racist memes which I have never seen nor heard or, nor met anyone who has. The only examples of these apparently racist memes that I have seen were supplied by liberal journalists as an example.
Is it on someone's private Facebook page or something they're getting these from? Where is this hivemind of Pepe-induced racism?

I'm glad you haven't seen racist pepe memes, they tend to be pretty fucking stupid in their own right.
If you're asking where they propagate, /pol/ is a pretty reliable source of memes and white supremacy, and it's not rare for the two to mix into a racist frog combo.

I can't take it seriously when this is written
This May, an "anonymous white nationalist" told The Daily Beast that the shift was intentional: a dedicated campaign to "reclaim Pepe from normies," or members of the mainstream, by making Pepe so culturally unacceptable that only the fringe Internet would dare to use him.

I mean, we're discussing the merits of claims that a from meme is sometimes used to push racist ideologies. The article is an article about that meme, citing other articles about that meme.
This isn't really the kind of topic that gets the top-tier journalists frothing at the mouth. The article sounds ridiculous because the situation itself is ridiculous

I was a pretty good article on the topic. I still can't believe the Clinton campaign wrote a hit piece about a meme
I mean the article that Hillary referenced had only one source of information. An anonymous 19 year old twitter user. That was their source. He even went on to say that they were "reclaiming Pepe from the normies". That journalist went looking for a story and got trolled, didn't realize it, and then a Presidential candidate accepted it as fact.

Except excessive use of the pepe meme for racist/sexist commentary by certain subreddits that like to take over /r/all with botvoting was a well known thing before hillary referenced it.
I understand the disdain, I agree with it, but I haven't seen any racist or sexist Pepes hit the front page. If you wouldn't mind linking one, I'd be happy to amend my viewpoint, but I really haven't seen anything like that get highly upvoted.

I've always avoided /r/all - but ETS highlighted a bunch of them so i'm familiar.
As I pointed out elsewhere- the ADL and others aren't saying all use of pepes are racist and/or sexist, just recognizing that a number of racist and/or sexist pepe memes were generated in 2016. They go out of their way to say that "we don't think all uses are racist".
Hilary was generalizing a very real trend for white supremacists and the alt-right to co-opt Pepe. It didn't start out as a racist meme, but symbols change from their use. I would place the blame on internet communities like /pol/, don't shoot the messenger.

Even sadder under the guise of "green frog represents white supremacy because we found these two images of nazi Pepe", welcome to the internet, pop culture.
I'm referring to the first meme I really remember with Pepe.
It was talking like 'Born too late for the moon landing' and 'Born to early for space travel'
And then it was just Pepe with the tear in the feels bad man pose. They where one of the big things to post with him before you know. 2016 went sideways.

My first Pepe was a smug Pepe. God I love frog memes, send help.
I was just making the point that Trump being elected is not in fact the end of anything, and it may not turn out in a way his voters liked. That concept reminded me of the line from Watchmen. That's how most references work, isn't it?
You won't, though. The only positive for liberals over the next four years will be watching as Trump betrays you over and over. At first, you'll try to rationalize it, or write it off as media bias. But as time goes on and it becomes clear you got conned and the swamp is as swampy as ever, we'll start to see the infighting and anger. This is already happening and he isn't even president yet. Once he and his crew of insiders and lobbyists take power, you'll see why it was really dumb to elect a billionaire New York elite to overthrow a system he's benefitted from his entire life just because he "says it like it is" (IE tells you what you want to hear).
Four years from now, all of us (except the super rich) will be worse off, and you'll be desperately trying to convince yourself that it's all Obama's fault. But you won't believe it, not really, because you'll know that Trump and the GOP had four years of total control. When they fail, there will be no excuse.
And they WILL fail to help you, because that was never their actual goal. (Unless you're an oil exec, in which case you'll have fun.)
[deleted] · 3 points · Posted at 17:35:48 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
So why do you think Hilary Clinton would be better? (Not being rude, legitimately curious.)
Personally, I don't think Clinton would have been great either. It would have been four more years of the same. However, she DOES at least recognize that climate change is a real thing. That's why I voted for her. Even just maintaining the status quo for four years would be bad (which is what she'd prob do), but it's still way better than what Trump seems to be aiming to do (setting us way, way back in a way that might well be impossible to recover from).
That ties into lots of other issues too. For example: green energy is the future. It just is. Obviously the tech needs more development, but sunlight is fucking everywhere and is free, whereas oil has to be found and dug out of deep-ass holes in the ground by giant expensive machines, trucked around, processed, etc. etc. It doesn't take a genius to see that once these green technologies like solar are more developed, they're going to be way, way cheaper and more efficient than fossil fuels. So, who's going to develop that technology? Well, the US has dominated the past 50 years or so by being the primary driving force behind tech development. But China is already massively outspending us on green tech. Trump is going to make that gap much wider, and they already have a big head start. So it seems increasingly likely that the technology for green energy, which is going to be essential to every country this century, will rest mostly in the hands of the Chinese. That's a pretty huge strategic advantage we're apparently just cool handing over to a major rival. Not to mention the millions of jobs that industry will create in China that it could be creating here instead.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 00:04:30 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
Fair point. I personally feel Trump's selling point was border control & lower taxes. I do agree with you though, regardless of stance on climate change you shouldn't just hand any technological lead over.
regardless of stance on climate change you shouldn't just hand any technological lead over.
This is why I don't understand the opposition to climate change.
Like, even if it WAS all a big hoax (which it isn't), what's the worst case scenario? Oh no, we cleaned up our air and water and put our country at the forefront of technological development in a hugely important global industry, positioning ourselves for future economic growth? That doesn't seem like that big a disaster to me. And yeah, it means some fossil fuel folks will lose their jobs, but there will be new jobs in the green energy sector. In my state, that's been the industry with one of the fastests rates of job growth even though we have a governor who fucking hates it for some reason and has killed a lot of benefits/subsidies the industry has in other states.
And like I said, this fossil fuels to green energy transition is going to happen anyway. 50 years from now (probably less) there aren't going to be many/any coal miners regardless of what government policy is. So the real question is just: do we want to be a global leader on this, retain as much control over the tech as we can, and adapt faster, or do we want to wait around and let China do all that, let China get all those new jobs, and then hope they sell us their cool new tech relatively cheap?
Like, there's literally no downside to doing something about climate change. Even if it's a hoax (which again, it clearly is not), we still win.
Because she has legitimate political experience, has a reason to be president other than make the rich richer, and isn't a racist and misogynistic Creamsicle.
Legit as in Benghazi and rigging the Primary then yes. She's an elitist just like Trump, except she was also in bed with the big banks. If you think Hillary was better than Trump you were fooled. Not saying Trump was better, just that they were both terrible.
I definitely agree they were both terrible. Idk, could just be one of those things where I personally wasn't as thoughtful about Hillary's any faults but was more so about Trump's. I definitely think they both have awful, horrific flaws.
Also I didn't know she had a hand in rigging the primaries. I knew they were rigged against Bernie but I didn't know she was involved, I thought others were. That's an interesting piece of info.
Not sure if she personally was, but her campaign definitely was, and I doubt her campaign would do something like that without permission from the top. So although it's possible she didn't know about it, most likely she did.
Possibly, I know a few former Bernie supporters who didn't vote Hillary. So it's definitely possible. Personally I might have voted for him over Johnson but that would have been a real toughy for me to decide. In any case he would have had a much better chance in my opinion given the populist nature of this cycle.

I think Trump won because he was a brick through the establishment window, because some were tired of the status quo, and the saturation of terms that imply someone is discriminatory. I mean, even Fox News disliked him.
Can you tell me some of Clinton's positive work experience that you think make her qualified? (things unlike Benghazi, lying about sniper fire in Bosnia)
People may have thought he was a brick through the establishment window, but he was more like a supply drop disguised as a brick. Look at his cabinet and tell me you think he's still anti-establishment. He appointed Scott Pruitt, a global-warming skeptic who opposes clean air/clean water and is a literal puppet for big oil, as HEAD OF THE EPA. And honestly, Hillary is a shitty politician, but ANY political experience is better than none when it comes to being president. At least Hillary wouldn't get in a Twitter war every time someone said something remotely critical; there's something called diplomacy that every politician should have, yet Trump lacks it more than anyone I've ever seen.

That's a very fair point, let me correct my statement then: The same way people protested the results in anger, they elected Trump, out of anger.

Oh yeah really stuck it to those rich politicians that are part of the establishment by electing another rich person as president.
because some were tired of the status quo,
That's why trump is changing the status quo by hiring his top supporters and friends. Oh yeah he's really changing that status quo and "draining the swap".

Bruh that was in reference to the fact that we'll have 4 years of A+ meme material. IRL I'm a Libertarian and didn't vote for him at all. I know he's an elite and saw through his lies. Not that I would have voted for him had he'd been telling the truth.
I know we are fucked, I knew that as soon as the primaries were over and I saw our nominees. Out of all the candidates running we picked the worst two. I saw this coming a long time ago.

However the the guide did look like 17, I wouldn't put it past him to have actually said memes and if someone questions him he'd say he said meals.

Wtf there is no way it's The Berenstain Bears. Really?!
Look up the Mandela Effect. Basically, there's a number of weird things that people "remember" that happened/spelled differently. Mandela dying in prison, the spelling of Berenstain Bears (they think it was Berenstein) and some other random stuff. They think we've swapped timelines.
People are just remembering hearing an important South African activist died in prison - Steve Biko. Later on Nelson Mandela becomes a household name, and they start to conflate the two.
I didn't either, but I looked it up. I called it the Sitcom Universe. Basically, we're living in an advanced simulation that was forked from reality in late 2015. Now you and I are sitcom characters for future people.
(The Berenstain Bears thing is that it's actually spelled like that, but everyone everywhere thinks it's spelled Berenstein. This is evidence that we somehow awitched timelines and are now living in the off-brand Berenstain universe.)
Good point. But you know what they say. Fiction has to make sense, real life doesn't. I would at least dock some points for having an incomprehensible plot and unrealistic slasher movie level brain dead characters.

Yes, help the totalitarian dictator continue to oppress innocent people, strengthening one of the most powerful authoritarian regimes in the meantime. Great plan.
But you can't honestly believe they do it out of humanity? There are much worse dictators in Africa but they stay because either the US likes them (if they didn't help them getting there in the first place) or because they have no resources and nobody gives any fuck.
The only reason the US cares about Syria is its strategic location, not Assad.

But you cannot group them together with refugees, saying "whatever the reason for their presence".
I said, "they do have a similar effect on German society whatever the reason for their presence," and I stand by it. Enough with the emotionalism; I understand that some of them did come from a war-torn region, and that guerilla wars are horrors to live through. However, I think that a lot of the reason for all of the bloodshed is their ideology, which unfortunately they bring with them into Germany. I would support establishing safe zones in Syria to genuine asylum seekers, but I do not support allowing more than a negligible number to immigrate. It should be clear by now that they are not culturally compatible with Western Europe, even to those too blinded by liberal ideology to understand that at the outset. It is equally clear that the entire European project will be consumed by populism and fascism if these country do not reverse course now, so there is no real option to simply carry on. If you value the liberal project of free movement within the EU, it is necessary to sacrifice the much lesser liberal project of resettling the Middle East and North Africa in Europe.
What makes me angry is that this result was completely predictable from the moment Merkel welcomed the migrants in the summer of 2015 and silenced debate with accusations of racism, but she did it anyway. If you were upset about Brexit, or the election of Trump, then you should be equally upset with Merkel for literally ruining the modern international order with her recklessness. It was an unforced error and its consequences will reshape the course of human history in an illiberal direction.

Yes. Edit because it deserves it. Random people represent random families. So their is a multiplier of maybe 12 to 20 for each person who suffers grief instead of just sympathy. In football the players represent the city. To the hundreds of thousands in that city those players are family so the whole city goes through grief. As an example when a Stoke fan dies (my team) we normally applaud for a minute when the match time is the same as their age. we care about the fans, a player dying would be much worse.

From your negative karma it seems a lot of those overgrown children are on Reddit... along with actual children but hey, I've seen enough total sjw meltdown videos to know it's not them
When Jefferson ran against Adams, Adams claimed Jefferson was an animal because J was having sex with slaves. Jefferson claimed Adams was a hermaphrodite.

This is the kind of historical shitposting for which I stay on Reddit. Things don't change, we just conveniently forget the weird parts of history.
Both Adams presidents were riots, too. Real contentious guys.
Didn't they both die the same day on the same day, July 4th the same year. And didn't they lament how they treated each other on their death beds? I remember something like that on a history special.
By the time they died, Jefferson and Adams were once again friends. Adams mentioned "Jefferson still lives", but Jefferson had died a few hours earlier.
Yeah I couldn't remember if they had become friends again, but I knew that one or both had remarked about the other. Though it is crazy they died same day and year and on july 4th.

I'm not usually political on this sub (especially considering how people are quick-like to pounce on anything that sounds like it's being said from the unpopular side), but I do think this Brexit fear is getting a little out of hand.
Sure, things have gone a little fuckup, but they always will after such a huge opinion poll (and it was an opinion poll). On the ground level, the worst thing to come out of this is Cameron going back on his word and stepping down (which I won't blame him for), and May coming in. While she's a strong sort, she's also someone whose statements I've thoroughly disagreed with in the past, and continue to.
The things she is doing sound a bit harsh, but it's not like they wouldn't happen anyway. She's just being quicker about them.
I'm still more worried about trade deals and the like cropping back up again.
Brexit's being talked about as if it's the worst thing since the dinosaurs died a bit too much. Every time I'm on the phone with someone I knew back in the States, they keep jeering about how we fucked up.
I mean... if anything. Look at home.
(Not that I ever thought Trump wasn't going to win. He was outrageously boneheaded enough while up against Clinton, and spoke to what I call the "disenfranchised majority" to not be a strong candidate. Still... wtf, USA? How did things get to this?)
Even if Brexit is being blown out of proportion it's still a very significant event of 2016 tho.

He didn't say Brexit Fear. He said Brexit. Like it or not, that's one of the major talking points this year. Even now. I was at a gig the other day and overhead a conversation with the band saying "so are you guys going to have to get visa's to tour now?" - Brexit is a big part of every industry and everyone's life here. Don't downplay it just because you don't care as much.

In terms of the fear (and my apologies for this), I was talking about another comment that was at the time the top post.
That said, I'm not downplaying it at all. I'm downplaying the ridiculous amounts of hyperbole spouted since the decision. And if you really think I don't care as much, please stop pre-supposing things.
I don't think the reason it needed a mention was because it was a bad thing, the reason it needed a mention is because of how absurd the entire thing appears to be. Similarly to Trump being elected, like him or not it was still a shock to see him beat Hillary the same way it was a shock for Brexit to win the referendum.

Oh, that was more a comment related to a few other posts and not just this one.
One thing brexit has managed is showing that /r/ukpolitics is less biased than /r/unitedkingdom. The unitedkingdom subreddit has become unbearable with the amount of comments hating on voting demographics. Comments wishing the elderly would die off and that they should be stripped of their votes constantly making it to the top of posts.
I used to identify as a left leaning voter, now I just keep it quiet because it's embarrassing to think people would mistake me for that lot.

I've stopped going to both of them, to be honest. I couldn't bear to admit I'm labour next to the hysterical woman screaming next to me the other day and all.
This hating on demographics has really fucked me right off.
The internet definitely polarises the "sides". Basically left = whinging tumbrinas and right = frothing at the mouth privileged breitbart readers. Both of these demographics exist but are definitely minorities in the fringes. It's very annoying and I think has put people off things like feminism.
This is the problem with painting everything as left and right and saying once you choose a "side" you agree with all the other policies of that "side". You shouldn't stop supporting most left wing ideologies just because you disagree with a fringe of " the left".
Sounds like /r/Trump when it was still open to be read. I went there once during the election to try to see why people thought he was so great (I've voted the other way my entire life) and then saw all the _ist comments: race, religion, gender, etc... and just sort of cracked, especially as there was no sub that I could find in support of Clinton as much. Might explain why I woke up on election day with REM's "It's the End of the World" going through my head.
I can't stand that viewpoint, that people who are old should have less sway or are selfish for not thinking of the younger generations. Yes, they won't be around the next 50 years, but there vote matters just as much now as it did when THEY were the young generations voting against their "old people".
It also works backwards, they've been alive for decades longer than you, if anything they have more practical knowledge of how the world works than someone who just turned 18 and doesn't understand that politicians don't have to keep promises.
I'm wandering around in the middle with bewilderment wishing someone would talk some fucking sense. I don't want hard left communist SJW logic any more than I want "fuck the poor, open another dom perignon" rule. I honestly just don't understand how anyone anywhere can identify as "liberal" or "conservative" across the board. There are just to many issues to consider.
It will likely affect the country's economy, and its standing in the world, for a generation. It's a far bigger deal than, say, a general election, because if it's carried through it will constrain what future governments can do. The people were given a binary choice, told by very nearly every expert that one of the choices would make them a lot poorer, and they took that choice, for benefits that were either outright lies or totally nebulous.
What's most worrying about Brexit is what it has in common with the rise of Trump: the post-truth movement and general hostility to scientists and other experts.
You know all those memes about Britain doing Brexit then the USA saying "Hold my beer"?
They were true. Brexit was phenomenally stupid, but Trump blasted through the wreckage and kept going.
I asked a friend about Brexit(she is an academic who studied the legal systems of the EU), and her take on it was that Brexit was a threat to the continued success of the biggest political experiment of all time. And if you think about it, that's huge. That's something that affects multiple countries, millions of people, and world economies.
On a more UK-centric level, it also affects the regular people of Britain: the immigrants who call Britain home now, the Scots who voted 'No' on the Indy Ref on the basis of EU membership and got screwed by the English, the youth who voted to retain the benefits of the Union and lost out to the older generations who feared change.
The upside for Britain is that the EU is accomodating these people by offering citizenship, but it doesn't change the fact that a nation which invaded the world is suddenly upset at the world coming to see what's so special in England.
The issue is that both sides that won had support of nationalistic bordering on racial support. This can be attributed to issues of wealth; real wages in the UK have dropped by 10% between 2007 and 2015 and it seems a similar trend has been seen in the US over the last few decades. In response people become more selfish and don't want to share the wealth so to speak because there is no wealth to share. They favour tighter restrictions on immigration and other suspected free riders.
This restriction on immigration eventually cuts the supply of talented people emigrating to the country which starves the economy of vital skills. Depending on the severity of the immigration restrictions this can have a major impact on the economy on the timescale of decades. This then further popularises tighter immigration and the cycle continues.
This leads to economic stagnation or recession while China and other developing nations close the gap and eventually get on terms with the US and EU's economic prowess. Two or more powers competing in such a way invariably leads to war, as was the case in WWII and the cold war. That's not to say war is coming soon, it will probably end up taking the best part of the century, but it's almost inevitable that some form of conflict will arise given enough time.
2016 will likely go down in history as the first albeit minor step towards American and possibly European decline. European decline is less certain since it's a union rather than a nation so its a bit of a wild card.
That's the two party system for you. Give us two shitty candidates then one of those shitty candidates will win.

I love how people were screaming "OH MY GOD THE WORLD IS GONNA END HITLER WAS JUST ELECTED THE DICTATOR OF THE UK OH FUCK OLD PEOPLE" and they all went quiet a week after it all happened because everything was pretty okay. The only bad things coming out of the UK are things that would have happened anyway, because the Tories are still in power. I highly doubt David Cameron wouldn't have pushed this ridiculous nonsense about porn and censoring it, so nothing's changed. Young Britons are mad at the elderly for voting, but they're not mad at their colleagues for not voting.

Couldn't agree more on all you said, i also dont blame cameron for stepping down but i'd rather him stay than have May. This country is still doing absolutely fine and it shows no sign of slowing due to article 50 being invoked next year. So many scare tactics being applied to the whole situation and the bremainers still dont realise that those exact scare tactics are what helped brexiteers win, yet they continue to apply them thinking something will change?

Us expats in the EU can't exactly just shrug off Brexit :( I hate feeling stuck in limbo. The UK would not cope if we were all deported back.

No, you can't. It's certainly a significant happening. I was just talking about the hyperbole that comes about after decisions like these.
Brexit's being talked about as if it's the worst thing since the dinosaurs died a bit too much.
I guess you don't remember the morning after Brexit happened? Posts everywhere from /r/askwomen to /r/politics, "literally shaking and crying" It was like 1/4th of the Trump reaction. FUCKING OLD PEOPLE THEY WON'T BE AROUND MUCH LONGER FUCKING UP THE PLANET FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS.
Not much of that anymore. I guess they finally got to the acceptance stage of grief, hopefully it comes soon regarding President Trump.
In what way have things "gone a little fucked up"?
Politics went a little wild for a bit, but for me and I think most people the day-to-day impacts have been precisely nada.
The Remain campaign was coming out with absurd statements of instant economic disaster towards the end.
Instead we haven't even had a recession, and a recession is no longer forecast. Actually we've had a lot of unusually good economic news recently, with high tech companies such as Google announcing billion-pound investments in the UK.
Meanwhile in the Eurozone things are looking pretty awful again.
Well we haven't actually left yet, so all of our trade and immigration laws are intact. There's no reason why things would be going haywire just yet, as nobody (and I mean nobody) knows what the plan is, other than we are leaving.
Edit; additionally, EU financial for science and technology etc hasn't gone yet - (ask a scientist what they think about that), the immigrant workforce that keeps London chugging haven't been ousted, workers and union rights haven't been swept away and replaced yet.
Oh, one thing that has happened is that new privacy law that just went through the other day. You know the one, where your browsing history is kept on file for a year and no warrant is needed to search it? That was prohibited by EU privacy laws, but those done apply anymore it seems.
First of all lets address the huge contradictory issue here where you state we havent left yet so theres been no changes yet, then in the same comment claim that the new privacy law is because the EU privacy laws stopped from happening. Give yourself a second to re read that and realise how idiotic it sounds.
Secondly, no immigrants that are here legally will be "ousted" and to even suggest so is absolutely absurd. Workers and unions rights aren't going to be swept away. It was precisely this type of idiotic scare mongering absurdity that helped Brexit win! - yet the remain side continue to plaster it everywhere in some wild assumption that it will work now the vote is over, even though it already lost them the vote. Smh.
Ousted as in reducing the numbers hugely, 'the immigrant' is being ousted. Obviously nobody that's here is getting kicked out, despite that being called for.
Ok fair point i misunderstood your meaning on that one, but come on the rest of your comment is still far too "gloom and doom" to even be feasibly realistic.
Both my sisters are in science research and they aren't very happy about what's coming, I won't claim to know the specifics but I'm pretty sure they do.
So you're telling me you also formed an opinion on something you dont actually know anything about just because your sisters aren't happy? Again thats a little bit absurd. Like i'm not trying to mug you off or start anything but thats just how its coming across and I wanted to be sure you realised that?
I'm not going to pretend I know exactly how science research is funded and shared throughout the EU, outside of the basics. The entirety of the 'science community' was disappointed that Brexit went ahead, so presumably all of them are foolish to think so, my sisters included. If you're telling me you know exactly a) how it works, and b) how it's going to work, then you must be very knowledgeable indeed. My understanding is that successive governments have allowed scientific funding to stagnate, but this was masked by EU money. If the money is removed and not replaced, it's game over. Essentially we all hope that our government will spend money on what we want, rather than the funding we are used to being there. Personally I don't trust the current government to do anything remotely wise, but maybe I'm wrong.
Edit: I'm not going around pretending to be an expert but perhaps I know more about it than average.
Like it has already been pointed out to you though, lack of faith or no, our government has already said they will replace the funding themselves, and the EU money was ours in the first place so it should be no different than before, except instead of paying someone else to hand the scientific community the funding, we'll be handing it to them ourselves. Its just another example of fear mongering it would seem.
Multiple things helped Brexit win, yes immigration was part of it but so were the ridiculous scare tactics used by remain. They spent more time (too much so) on scaring people into how Brexit was going to bring about the apocalypse than they did trying to garner actual support for remain. Thats where the problem lay. The Brexit camp actually spent the time to say "look, vote for an independent UK and this is what we can hopefully be free of/change" where as the remain rhetoric was "vote brexit and youre a racist and you will kickstar the second coming of Jesus." - Yes I know thats over simplified, and yes I know both sides did their fair share of lying but unfortunately the remain focus was just completely wrong.
Yeah they fumbled the ball catastrophically, no argument there. It's very difficult to sell "things will stay the same" without needing to add "don't fucking do that thing or else!".
The Remain camp were forecasting immediate damage.
That's not right though — about there being no reasons why things might go bad before the event. Investment, for example. If businesses think that Brexit is going to be a disaster, they would stop investing in the UK. But the opposite has been happening... a string of large companies have announced long-term moves to the country.
You're not wrong, both sides were doing a lot of negative forecasting. The concerns I listened to mostly were those about the medium to long-term, which is difficult to get people excited about. I don't doubt some good will come in business terms, but I think being 'good at business' is a ridiculous string to our bow anyway (and one we already had, concentrated in London, where it will remain).
With respects to the privacy law thing, that doesn't really make sense as a consequence of Brexit, because currently we're still subject to the European courts.
Is it really a good thing that we would spend £6bn rather than receive £6bn? And the horizon 2020 program is no longer an option - £69bn! As with all these things, we'll see won't we. The NHS busses were bullshit, etc etc, we'll have to trust the government 😎.
Is it really a good thing that we would spend £6bn rather than receive £6bn?
Come on man, really?
That was our own money we were getting back.
We put more money into the EU budget than we get back — much more. The NHS busses were an exaggeration, but the true deficit is still very large; something like £200 million per week.
I don't know what your point is. There's a net funding deficit from the UK to the EU. Which means leaving the EU would actually make the UK more, not less able to fund science. That's it.
Someone else said the same thing about the privacy law... it really doesn't make sense. We're still in the EU and subject to the European courts at the moment.

Just to keep in my that in a number of states you have to be registered as a write in candidate for the vote to be tallied as anything other than a scatter, or a generic write in. So a lot of states didn't even count how many votes Bernie or Harambe got, they'd just be considered a scatter or a write in.
According to this, in Bexar County, Texas (which contains San Antonio), out of 580,000 votes cast there were 1006 for Sanders and six for Harambe. (The latter isn't in the article but it's slide number four.) And two for "giant meteor".
...except they do? Winning the presidency is about winning the states, winning the states requires votes. If you didn't vote, that is why your voice doesn't matter.
Here's a protip for Google (and most other search forms): if you're looking for something and a majority of the results are for an unrelated subject, you can use a minus sign to filter out the unrelated thing. For instance, in your case, since you don't want articles about the primaries you could phrase your search "Bernie Sanders write-in -primaries" or better yet "Bernie Sanders write-in general election -primaries"
Thanks. My husband and I were just talking last night that if it were one year ago, we would not believe what was facing us. Here's how it went for us:
January - my niece's 33 year old husband died. Also husband's best friend died. (Both not unexpected, but sad anyway.)
February - husband's younger brother has a massive heart attack and dies in his sleep. Totally unexpected. No medical history and had just passed a physical with "flying colors". I send husband to cardiologist to get a full checkup. (I work in the cardiac operating room.)
April 18- My 85 year still healthy dad who lives with us decides he doesn't like getting old. Blows his brains out in our dining room. Husband comes home from cardiologist and cleans up the mess after Dad is bagged and hauled off. After a few hours, my husband (without any medical problems) says he needs to tell me that he has been diagnosed with a large ascending aortic aneurysm and needs open heart surgery.
I get diagnosed with PTSD and freak out for 3 weeks. Husband has surgery and ALL WENT WELL! Still freaking out over my dad's suicide, but trying to move on.
Yup, 2016 sucked for us! Suppose it could have been worse.

Yep. Second was probably the win we call the first corrupt bargain where JQ Adams tied with Jackson, and then basically bribed the speaker of the house, Henry Clay, to be president. HC was name Secretary of State, thus the title corrupt bargain.
This was a surprising election, no doubt, but let's not forget US history has had a fair share of issues.
Of course the other two corrupt bargains could be equally weighed (though Ford's pardon wasn't an election, though it was still about his rise to office)
More recently, analysis by means of game theory mathematics has proposed that, contrary to the assertions of Jackson, his supporters, and countless historians since, the results of the election were consistent with so-called "sincere voting"—that is, those Members of the House of Representatives who were unable to cast votes for their most-favored candidate apparently voted for their second- (or third-) most-favored candidate. This suggests that the result was not a consequence of any "corrupt bargain" between Adams and Clay, but was instead a natural consequence of an electoral field that was fundamentally divided between those who supported Jackson and those who would support anyone other than Jackson.
Just something to keep in mind, apparently it's not cut and dry. I think this is just another result of everyone trying their best and something less than appealing happening anyway.
Don't forget that Clinton tried to bribe her way into the presidency and lost.
I'm not arguing your points, just saying that this election was quite contentios given the people actually stood up to corruption and won, regardless of how poor the outcome ended up being.
And I agree. Don't get me wrong, I know the story of the Cubs and whatnot, but it barely made the news in most countries, and even when it did, it was a "oh check out this team that won after 100-something years, so cool" kind of a thing. Pretty sure the NBA title was a more significant event world-wise, and yet I wouldn't have put it into that list.

Holy shit, can we stop with the 'we won' crap? This isn't the superbowl, your team didn't win because it wasn't a game. You're trivializing an incredibly complex event.

No, the Mayans were right.. 2012 was the last semi-sensical year.... everything after that will just get crazier and crazier!

The funny thing is, the Mayan calendar didn't specifically say the world is going to end. It signalled a new age for the world. Judging by the fact it's only taken 4 years for the world to go to shit, I'm not convinced they were wrong.
See, it wasn't the end of the world, it was just the beginning of the end of the world. Something this massive could not just end in one year, it has to take several years
I always hated how people claimed the Mayans predicted the end of the earth. Maybe after making calendars that went thousands of years into the future they just decided, "Y'know what, this is enough calendars." Whose idea was it to interpret that as a prediction for the apocalypse?

The Mayan calendar never predicted the end of the world, it predicted the end of a "great year", which is a complete loop of the earths wobble on its axis. This apparently takes around 28,000 years and the mayans were spot on to the day.
that's nonsense. Got a link to a reputable source?!

This is wrong. From Wikipedia:
There has been speculation that the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is somehow calibrated against the precession, but this view is not held by professional scholars of Mayan civilization. Milbrath states, however, that "a long cycle 30,000 years involving the Pleiades ... may have been an effort to calculate the precession of the equinox."[8]
However, it certainly was just the end of a Long Count year, and the beginning of another. A festival time, with feasting. That takes like ten seconds of googling, and any source at all
Actually there were Mayan calendar nut jobs out there that thought it was 4 years off. This was an actually theory. A theory I don't have a source to and remember seeing on TV in 2011 so don't try to get me to quote anything.
Actually, I believe it was Lemmy. He died exactly one day before Bowie, and his heavy metal soul was so badass it ripped the gates of hell clear off the hinges on the way down, allowing demons to come wreak havoc on our world. Their first victim was then Bowie, to show they meant business.

Bowie didn't die. He saw what was coming and decided it was time to go home at last.
So my open mourning after his death wasn't just for that, but was a swan song for the rest of the year...

I remember early this year when Rickman and Bowie died, I was talking to my friend half-jokingly about how 2016 would end up being a terrible year. Boy was I right.
The other day, I found out that Scott Weiland and Lemmy died about three weeks apart. I remember hearing about both of them on the day each died, but the time between their deaths seemed much longer than it actually was.
I member. Both were among my top 5 singers ever. I saw some of the last gigs from both of them before they died. December 2015 was fucking rough.

2016 has personally been a good year for me, I had a dream holiday to the Maldives, got a new job and doubled my income, bought my first house and my first car (I held off driving until my late 20s) but none of that would matter without my family. I can't imagine losing my parents at this age, and in thankful for what I have and genuinely sorry to hear that you, a stranger, likely thousands of miles away has not been fortunate.
Other years weren't so good to me so I can only say to you to hold on, things can make sense and will get better.
Sorry to hear that man. My dad died suddenly and unexpectedly last year and I felt the same way. It was like crash landing on a planet where nothing made sense.
It won't get better, but slowly and surely you'll be able to start functioning again. Let yourself grieve and curse the world and rely on friends way more than you're comfortable with and every day the pain will get easier to bear, even though it won't get smaller or less hurtful or less overwhelming, it will get easier.
My condolences to you and your family.

My grandfather passed back in 2013 and he really was the closest to a father figure I've had in my family. This year really has had me wishing that I could ask him if things were always this screwed up or if 2016 really is a whopper of a year.
I bought a "Member the 80's" Member Berry t-shirt I cannot wait to wear to work tomorrow :) I hate that they didn't get to finish the plot, Clinton losing screwed up South Park's entire 20th season. :(
That remains to be seen I think, no way to truly tell right now. I was just making a statement about South Park, I am so damned tired of this election mess just going on and on and on..... member the cold war?
What part of "I SUPPORTED BERNIE, BTW." did you not understand? Are you daft?
And guess what? The DNC lined up behind Hillary in 2008 as well. And we all know she won because of it /s
Bernie lost because he based his entire campaign on appealing to the demographic least likely to vote, and also failed to recognize that the Democratic Party is a diverse coalition of interests and that no one single message will ever appeal to a majority of it. Not because of "rigging" - anyone who thinks so is a fucking crybaby moron.
Oh, so you're one of those people who don't actually give a shit about politics beyond what allows you to be more contrarian. Seeing as Bernie and Trump had literally nothing in common.
Either that, or you were a Trumpette from the start and are concern trolling right now.
Either way, there's no reason to respect or listen to someone as fuckhead stupid as you.
Can we at least not give 4chan credit for what was actually done by a bunch of cranky Midwestern baby boomers? They don't need to feel more important than they already do.
As you can see in the NYTimes's exit polls, although you're right in that the eldery did slightly favor Trump, you can hardly say it was a deciding factor such as the lack of support for Clinton while big support from white, male and rural for Trump.
4chan still had nothing to do with it, though. It's primary demographic is millenials, but if only millenials had voted Trump would have won two states.
Cheers! I actually saw it while browsing r/talesfromtechsupport but i didn't know until now it was so famous. Also, about 45% of posts on r/talesfromtechsupport are pretty much exactly the same as this one. Idk how those people take it.

Not every user is noteworthy enough for reddit. There are some real doozies but a lot of mundane stories too.
GOP, I already told you we are not a Trump country and you're refusing to allow us to install the Lizard Queen as president so I'm going to blame the Russians
I had a computer voice hang up on me this year because I got angry when it wouldn't direct me to a real person. Twenty minutes on the phone just to be ignored by a rude and incompetent computer program.
You seem to have pretty strong feelings about why "shit's fucked" is of such an immensely higher quality than "shit's fucked, yo" so I think it would be closed-minded of me to continue arguing the opposite without hearing you out.
Tell me more about the finer points of "shit's fucked" so that I might see it as something other than a lesser form of "shit's fucked, yo."
I don't think we agree on that. I think "shit's fucked" is an apt and succinct characterization of the year. Far from being a top comment, but I wouldn't downvote it out either.
If someone then turns it into "shit's fucked, yo" and then claims it as a necessary improvement, that strikes me as funny. The addition is so small, so inconsequential. It does not change the meaning at all, only adding onto the voice/character of the statement. An incremental improvement, but still what I'd call an improvement.
It's extremely rare that taking an existing comment and transforming it into the closest possible parrot phrase is funny. It's a highly overused technique that, most often, makes the person using it appear like they have no creativity or understanding of comedy.
I think the low bar you set for what a joke looks like on the internet is a part of why there are so many bad attempts at jokes on the internet, especially people repeating a contextless phrase that they saw someone else get commended for saying.
I don't come to reddit for jokes. But I definitely don't come to reddit in order to see people make bad attempts at comedy through copy-paste. That's why I'm so vocal when I see people who do that: because they make me want to stop using reddit, and there's a decent chance that they'll stop when their attention is drawn to the fact that changing their commenting habits will improve everyone's experience.
"I have low standards for reddit comments, so anyone who criticises a comment needs to lower their standards as well, until reddit is a monotone smear of valueless, unintersting garbage."

Yeah, fuck me for not laughing at your use of the same meaningless phrase I can find ten times on ten other threads posted today.
Humour is subjective, and that's why I don't get why people think that the same "joke" that they used yesterday is funny if they just write the exact same thing today. The subject has changed. So change the joke.
Have you seen the people he has been appointing? I'm not even American and I do not understand how this could ever turn out to be a good thing for anyone besides rich owners of giant corporations
General Mattis, for example, was chief of U.S. Central Command. He has a 40+ year career in the military. He is well known to many people.
DeVos, his pick for Sec. Education, has been a vocal advocate for vouchers. She's well known to people who work in education. I've been a tutor for over 40 years - picking up the pieces when the public schools and common core fail.
Scott Pruitt, head of EPA, has been vocal in his opposition to over regulation. He has been in the news for suing the EPA over that regulation.
Trump is picking people who have fought against big government. He's picking people who are for strong national defense. He's picking good people.

General Mattis
Ever hear of civilian control over the military?
DeVos
Pushes for vouchers for kids to go to private schools instead of improving our public schools.
Pruitt
Doesn't believe in climate change. You realize he lost those lawsuits, right? He sued for shit like supporting pollution in national parks, which he lost as well. Dude is an awful choice.
Like I said, you're just blind in your stated opinion of Government=Bad.
Mattis is retired. Trump is his boss. Trump is a civilian.
Mattis blew the whistle on Obama not understanding hard-power.
He was there as Obama was screwing everything up so he is in a unique position to get us back on track.
A voucher system provides the most freedom and is the backbone of the most successful education and health-care systems elsewhere in the world.
Hairspray from the 60's and 70's is illegal and CFC's were global cooling agents (in addition to destroying the ozone). The Clean Air Act, which also reduced atmospheric particulate, has more to do with the warming of the 80's and 90's than CO2 does. Are you at least aware that the planet stopped rapidly warming in the naughts and teens?
The EPA preemptively banned the Pebble Copper mine before they even requested a permit. That is smoking-gun corruption. If an organization with such broad sweeping powers is going to be run like that then it needs to be shutdown.
Let me ask you this; how long do we have before water spills over Manhattan? (Manhattan is 6' above sea-level.)
If you answer is something less than 500 years then your answer is not based on the science.
Every voucher program around me has failed terribly and only created terrible schools. I'm also a big advocate for public schools. Tell me why I should be happy that someone who wants to destroy a system that works for a system that I've only seen fail is a good idea?
"Voucher schools had a higher graduation rate than public schools. Voucher school students who went on to college also attended more highly rated colleges and were more likely to remained enrolled after their freshman year."
“Public schools get better. That’s what our study shows. Three statewide studies in Florida found the same competitive effect,” Witte said. “These are statistically significant studies.”
The lack of accountability within the voucher schools leads to many failing within a year (41%). Others have abused the program to take money from the voucher program for themselves.

Of course they are, you're diverting much needed resources away from the public schools. What do you think would happen? Charter schools can graduate kids the same way home school parents can. Graduation rates don't mean shit if the requirements aren't the same.
I feel like we live in completely different universes. The USA needs to take things like climate change, income inequality, social security, education, and pleas of minorities seriously. That's not going to happen with Trump and his team of unqualified and inexperienced fools
Trump is taking climate change seriously. The hoax/lie of climate change is a serious threat.
Income inequality - mention skill inequality and work inequality. People who want more income can work harder, get skills, or take risks to achieve that income.
Education is available to everyone in America. There is free Internet with access to all the information in the world. However, the public school system is a problem - it's wasteful and inefficient. Get rid of it. Washington DC had a working solution - vouchers. Obama cancelled the successful program.
The please of people like BLM who riot, burn, assault - Trump will take that seriously. Obama has empowered that evil.
What's not going to happen with Trump is a continuation of all the failed progressive programs. He won't get rid of everything, but he'll make progress to pushing back this rotten ideology. His cabinet picks prove it.
Nope. They're examples of what happens when people see through lies and fake news.
The mainstream news outlets claimed Hillary was so far ahead, it was a matter of whether she should campaign in strong Republican areas to make it a landslide.
The mainstream news outlets claimed Hillary had a double digit lead in PA, and the lead was growing heading into election day.
The mainstream news presented women claiming Trump had sexually assaulted them. The mainstream news reporters didn't bother to dig about a centimeter below the surface - the women were being paid to make false claims.
The debate moderators actively took Hillary's side, even going so far as to argue with Trump and to sling accusations at him.
Your idea of "success" and "progress" are not the same as mine.
Even race-relations got worse under Obama.

Trump won the electoral vote in a landslide.
Lol what in the flying fuck. Compared to what? Just go look at even recent electoral history to see it wasn't anything close to other landslides.
That said, all three of your comments/points are so ridiculous I don't really buy that they were serious anyway. But to anyone who actually believes that, it's just not true.
He didn't win by a landslide like Reagan won. Neither did Obama - touted for winning in landslides.
Trump won the electoral vote by a landslide, however. The result was opposite of what the polls "predicted".
Riaayo · 2 points · Posted at 19:55:32 on December 14, 2016 · (Permalink)
Are you defining a landslide as "being vastly different than the predicted outcome"? Or as winning a huge majority of the available points to where the difference between the winner and loser is a massive void?
Because he did not win by a landslide of the second definition, and I'm not personally use to ever hearing anyone define a landslide as the first.
He absolutely won when no one thought he would (even himself and his campaign), but it wasn't a landslide victory.
If you don't define it as a landslide, fine. I'm not going to keep arguing about landslide or not.

I just don't think most people do. If you're trying to make the point that Trump was a huge upset of a win against most odds, then you might want to charge your wording to better reflect that otherwise people are going to get your point confused and call you out on what otherwise seems to be propping up an untrue narrative.
You're right it's a good thing that people are punished for killing babies. If you're considering a fetus to be a baby then you would be wrong since even the bible doesn't consider someone to be alive until they draw breath (Genesis 2:7)
The Hebrew is "nishmat chayyim". It's the spirit. It's not literally air.
Take BLM. The social issue that gave BLM its birth was a hero cop shooting a guy who had robbed a store, assaulted a clerk, assaulted the cop, and was rushing the cop. "Hands up don't shoot" never happened. The opening phrase of BLM was "burn this bitch down" - shrieked by Michael Brown's father as BLM rioters burned buildings.
The social issues progressives get worked up about are made up. They're constructs designed to lead people to hand their lives over to government.

For some reason people are neglecting to include the Pulse shooting, the worst mass shooting in US history, and worst terrorist attack since 9/11. Done by someone who was born in New York and grew up in Florida.
Done by someone who was born in New York and grew up in Florida.
Trump will end terrorist attacks like this by banning foreign Muslims from entering the country and building a wall. Don't question his plan, just believe in him!
Alas, in the face of an uptick in discussion of using nuclear weaponry, such shootings are but a footnote. And we've seen dozens or hundreds of mass shootings, but only 1 PEOTUS who's naming a cabinet of people who've never held public office, or even really work in the field they're going to now be governing.
Most of his cabinet are not people who have worked in the fields they will soon be in charge of. Mattis served in the military and will be in charge of military stuffs. Fair. May not like him, but the choice fits. Same as Reince Preibus for chief of staff. I don't like Preibus, but it's a perfectly fine political choice.
Mattis is one guy; there are what, 16 cabinet positions? How many of them are utterly unqualified?

No, every time someone goes back to fix something it just progressively keeps getting worse, how do you think it came to shooting Harambe instead of tranquillising him?

When they went back to fix that, they caused White Nationalist Pepe. They kept going back until they killed Prince, caused Brexit, and got Trump elected?

Damn, Shandling... I know people keep saying "Aw, people say this stuff every year about famous people dying," but this really was a rough year. It's not just that famous people died, it's that so many of them were people who had really made an impact on people, and people weren't expecting them to die, not like you expect some 85-year-old Hollywood legend to die.
Isn't it a simplification to say that they 'really had an impact on people'? The people the deceased celebrities 'had an impact on' finally included the younger generations who live on the internet and host today's media, so it hits closer to home. Those 85-year-old legends had an impact on the older generations. The difference here is that the people dying in 2016 were ones whose time period of influence included the people mourning so heavily for them. Thus, the mourning.
Oh sure, I was weighing whether to address that in my comment or not and opted for ruthless self-editing instead, maybe to a fault. I'm a pretty big movie buff and general pop culture nerd (not to mention not exactly young), so I'm often affected even when a famous person dies who was very old and whose biggest cultural impact was decades ago, but certainly most people, especially ones posting on the internet frequently, are going to be more shaken up by Prince dying than Abe Vigoda.
I can appreciate that. And Prince and Bowie have a huge worldwide impact, and probably more than Abe Vigoda. But, I think of someone like Carroll O'Connor, who hugely impacted the social impact of TV entertainment in the US, and how most of the people 30 or younger in 2001 when he died were probably just minorly sad that Achie Bunker died, if that.
I'm assuming there's plenty of 10 year-olds who really don't care that Prince or Bowie died, but would be quite upset if Adam Levine or Miley Cyrus did.
My lord. I wanted to go through and see if I hadn't heard of anyone dying that was a person I knew of. Started in January, obvs, and only got to January 14th. God damn

I'm British, mate. English, I suppose, but my dad's Scottish so the term "British" always made more sense for myself personally rather than English. But thanks for the patronising lesson about my own country
Possibly because the difference in smaller countries within a larger island is hard to tell the difference? I'd wager most outside of America wouldn't know all of our states and we have a couple of states that might be as big or bigger than your countries.
Plus it hard to know who's a part of the UK, England, Britain, or any of the smaller blocs.
Americans seem to know Scotland is a separate country, but not Wales? I think because it plays to the romanticised* narrative that Americans have where Scotland/Ireland are the underdog and the English are the oppressors, so anything that goes against that narrative is met with "they're basically England, anyway".

Britain is the one that's strange to me because I only think of England as "British." I think of Scotland as "Scottish" and Wales as "Welsh," but Britain is actually all three.
If it makes you feel better I also don't think I could name all the US state capitals and I'm never quite sure where Arkansas is.
Exactly, all three, thats why England would be English in the sentence. (Which im sure your aware). But I do get where you're coming from. England seems alot more 'british' than the other two, especially London - they really push the whole British thing.
I definitely wouldn't be able to name all the states, let alone the capitals. (Although that's a much larger scale than the difference in UK, Britain and England). But I do understand Americans confusion over England Britain and UK.
Arkansas is to the left Tennessee. State capitals are a good to know but not need to know in my opinion.

I think it's just people joking. Unfortunately, they don't realize that calling Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland "England" is a quick way to make enemies. Depending on how pro/anti GB they are, calling them "British" can also get you in trouble quick.
Personally, I don't find the distinction very difficult, but I guess some do.
Without looking it up, I have no doubt that at least half of our states are bigger than every individual country inside Great Britain. I wouldn't be surprised if more than a third of our states were bigger than all of it.
That's neat. You still have 48 mainland states in an area that we have 5, plus 2 territories, here in Australia. Size isn't everything

The difference is that the Home Nations are constituent countries, not states. The nations of the UK had an independent existence for half a millennium before the Union came into being. While they're still strongly related, the cultural differences between somebody from Oxfordshire and Perthshire are probably greater than the differences between somebody from New York and Oregon.
US states are generally small (with a couple of exceptions). You guys have 48 mainland states in an area roughly equivilent to our 5 mainland states and 2 territories.
Because monarchy. The UK is an arrangement that's really completely alien to the American way of thinking. The Queen is referred to as the 'Queen of England' much more often than 'The Queen of England, Scotland, Wales, and however many other commonwealth countries there still are'.
Since England is where the seat of her power is, 'England' becomes shorthand for the kingdom at large.
There's that scene in Goldeneye - a British film, when Bond and Alec Trevelyn are about to bust up some Russians:
'For England, James?'
'For England.'

What? Americans call her the Queen of England which is prescisely the thing I was trying to point out as incorrect. England isn't a sovereign state; there is no monarchy and hasn't been since the union with Scotland in 1707.

Eh? It's called the United Kingdom because it's one united kingdom. There is no Kingdom of England, Kingdom of Scotland, etc any more. These kingdoms were united as one, thus the United Kingdom and the King/Queen of the United Kingdom.
That's the point, there is a monarchy, and the Queen is English. The outside view that Americans see is all Buckingham Palace and Windsor, 'royal babies' annoying us in the tabloids, etc.
I'm not saying it's right, and you're wasting your breath by trying to argue - I know it's incorrect, I'm just explaining how the rest of the world perceives the UK. Keep in mind most people get their information from movies, tabloids, and half-remembered history lessons from childhood. I guess I should also point out that American history classes obviously spend a good deal of time talking about the American revolution, and one of the justifications for the revolution was that ol' King George was violating the colonists Rights as Englishmen.. And the area where the original American colonies are is still referred to as 'New England' to this day.
So you'll always hear about the war of independence against England, or at best, Great Britain.
It's just kinda ingrained in American culture that 'England' is that whole area over there. Americans know that Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland exist, yet 'England' is still sort of the everyday slang. Yes, I know it's not correct, but there you have it.
Now if you wanna get into a topic that's really confusing for an outsider, how about the definition of 'British'? Do we use it to describe anyone from the British Isles in a geographical way, or go the political route and exclude the Irish? Americans are more likely to see 'Britain' as a physical, geographical term and not a political boundary term, which is bound to piss off an Irishman.

There is a monarchy but it is not English. I understand why Americans get confused and my comments have only tried to alleviate that. I think we're actually in agreement here though so I don't really have anything much more to say. Have a nice day! :)

the Queen is English
Actually there's a lot of German heritage in the Royal Family, most of the European monarchies are interrelated. Their name was changed to Windsor around WW1 because of rising anti-German sentiment.
1707 is when the Act of Union came into force creating the UK, the crowns of Scotland and England were merged together in 1603 when the Scottish James VI inherited the English throne creating a personal union whilst the countries were separate politically.

I'll admit I'm no history academic but my understanding from the little research I did was up until 1707, there were singular monarchs but that they held separate titles (as in, /u/SeeMeSeeYouPal, King of England, King of Scotland...) and it was until the Act of Union that the country was actually united and thus the monarchy was too.
Either way, the point is that there is no such thing as the King/Queen of England anymore as England is not a sovereign state and does not have a monarchy.

Scottish James VI inherited the English throne creating a personal union whilst the countries were separate politically.
Which for any Americans who want to learn about the monarchy is interestingly the same relationship between the UK and the Commonwealth Realms like Australia and Canada today.
Again, I'm not saying what I think is correct, I'm relaying the common perception.

Probably because you refer to yourselves in a million different ways? Your Olympics name is Great Britain, your diplomatic name is United Kingdom, and your former empire name is the commonwealth. All of which have been colloquially referred to as "England" or "English" on this continent ever since we called ourselves "New England" when you named us as such. It's a lot to keep track of.

The puzzling thing is though, outside of football, "England" isn't really represented on an international level. There may be a million different ways to refer to us but it's like you all go out of your way to not pick any of them.
Because it's really confusing for us Yankee simpletons. I'm guessing that's why we originally sailed off to the new land. At least that's what I was taught in school...
I wouldn't think less of a Brit for simplifying America into New York and LA bookending 250 million rednecks who would deep fry bottled water if they could.
The Chinese are still not nearly the superpower the US are. They have a massive economy but it's quantity vs. quality. The American military is still by and far the most dominant on the planet, and their worldwide political influence is unmatched. I don't see any of that changing anytime soon.
I get why people in the US don't really care about all the political intricacies of what many still think of as a former colonial overlord. Just like I don't expect former US puppet states to care about what's going on in the US today.
I'm not sure if you are British (I am intentionally leaving the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, etc. out of it), but it might be a vestige of the British Empire, that you expect that everyone cares about your political divisions. I'm not one to bury my head and ignore what's going on in the world, but I am not an Anglophile enough to keep up with everything people expect me to know. I just want to reflect your question back at you: you don't care that you come off as a bit ethnocentric to think that in the massive world outside YOUR borders that we should all still care about your political divisions so much.
When I was at a pub in Germany talking politics with an Aussie, a German, a Brit, and a Nigerian, the Aussie and the Nigerian were shocked that I knew the names of their current leaders and some current events in their countries. The German questioned me about US voters (in the era of George W.) and our lack of nationalized health care, but was anything but arrogant about their system. The Brit was in disbelief that only the Aussie knew details about the royal family and that no one had much of an idea where his home county was.

I keep repeating this throughout this thread but I'll go again.
I'm not expecting people to understand or care about the intricacies of our nomenclature. Rather the opposite. I'm confused as to why Americans attempt this and do so incorrectly (i.e. referring to specific home nations when they really mean the whole sovereign state) rather than just call the country by it's, for lack of a better term, "overall" name that's used everywhere else: the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain, for short.
We're in the UN as the United Kingdom. We're in the G8 for the United Kingdom. Our embassy on American Soil is the British Embassy. It's the British throne. We have a British parliament, not an English one. We compete in the Olympics as Britain. We have the British Broadcasting Corporation, which is known in the US.
I know the differences between England, UK, and GB. I don't know how to explain other people's thinking. Perhaps your former colonies may still think of it as the English crown lording over them.
I think it's kind of arrogant to assume that everyone else is paying attention to your Olympic team, TV corporation, parliament, etc.. UK/GB is not quite the political hotbed of Palestine, Cyprus or the Kashmir. The world is large and Great Britain is not as powerful as it once was. It may be more relevant for countries to know about the political divisions of China, not the US or GB.

It's not about them knowing the political divisions of the UK. It's about them not knowing that or attempting to, and just calling the country by the name it's almost always referred to on an international level.
But also, let's not pretend the UK doesn't have some cultural influence in the US. And we're still one of the world's largest economical (5th largest nominal GDP) and political powers.
I'm just starting to feel bad. You sound so desperate to be relevant. Sure, I guess, there's a cultural influence, but I live on the west coast of the US. When I go to Victoria, BC and see the British-influenced institutions, I realize how non-British things are where I live. It reminds me of Putin's posturing about being important while China didn't need to say anything - if your country is really so relevant, you don't need to remind everyone.
We're a bit of a multicultural society. My neighborhood is more and more influenced cultures of Vietnam, China, Somalia, Russia, Ukraine, Tonga, Iraq, etc. and, besides language, far less influenced by UK/GB/England.
I also give up when referring to anyone from the United Kingdom as anything because there are so many sensitivities to consider. I haven't been there, so I don't know what to be careful of. I remember offending a man from Belfast when I said something about him being from the UK - he was adamant that he was Irish.
I think I have the opposite sensitivities when I travel or meet people from other places. I hate to self-identify my nationality. There's such a history of US interventionism and a culture of arrogance, that I would prefer to be incognito. I may like my city and state, but I'm embarrassed to answer questions about my country. I don't expect people to know anything about the US. Maybe I'm not the norm, but I'm kind of ashamed when they do know things because it's probably from some sort of cultural, economic, or political intervention.

lol what. You literally speak our language. There's no need to write an essay about how your neighbourhood doesn't have a little Britain or whatever but even then, come on.
Where I live, there's no Japanese influence around, other than a Sushi place in the city. But I have enough basic world knowledge to know that the country is fucking called Japan.
I keep trying to make the same point it is arrogant to assume that everyone should know things about your country when you are the former imperial power in a country. The language thing is a holdover from colonial times and I acknowledged it. Do you lord that over your former colonies in India and Hong Kong too? Do you see the point I was making about cultural arrogance? As a former colonial power, it might not be sensitive to insist a former colony to know your political divisions. If you were making the Hrvatska/Croatia, Burma/Myanmar argument, I'd be completely with you on it. Not only are those way less complex, but they weren't colonial powers in the US.
If you think the influence from other countries is encapsulated by a "little fill-in-the-country" neighborhood, I don't think you realize is how cultures of Asia, Central America and Mexico, and Eastern Europe influence daily life where I live. It's not a tokenized neighborhood/restaurant/store. These cultures and countries impact deep culture, the economy, and daily life. Is it because you still want to show us how important our former imperialistic government is that you assume Great Britain is more important?
I go back to the point about Putin and China. If I find that article, I'll link it. China doesn't need to tell us they are relevant. Neither does Mexico. If either of those economies struggle, it will have a severe impact on our economy and lives. When the Brexit vote occurred, the US stock market not only rebounded, but set a record high within a couple weeks. If China stops lending the US money, our economy will collapse.
It's kind of funny that you used Japan as an example when that name is a bastardization of Nippon/Nihon. Please tell me again how much knowledge you have about the world.

Jesus Christ. There's no need to write a wall of text about the relevance of countries, an argument that has little importance to the point that maybe those that are clearly aware of the existence of one of the world's major political and economic powers should use the proper name of the country instead of a mistaken one. This isn't about learning all the innate details and divisions of a country; it's about literally just knowing it's name and not trying to know the intricacies.
It's kind of funny that you used Japan as an example when that name is a bastardization of Nippon/Nihon. Please tell me again how much knowledge you have about the world.
As I said, I have enough very basic world knowledge to know that the literal fucking name for the country is Japan. That's the name it represents itself at the United Nations as.
I don't need to know all the individual regions, political divisions and history of France to call the country France and not Normandy.
I don't know why you felt the need to go on a tangent about the US economy relying on loans from China.
My reply is in response to things you've said in yours. It's not a tangent to mention China when you are rallying for the relevance of Great Britain or the UK to the US today. The point is that China doesn't need to make that argument.
The thread started when you indicated that someone calling your country the wrong name comes of "as very ignorant of the massive world outside your borders and a tad stupid?" My response to that was "you don't care that you come off as a bit ethnocentric to think that in the massive world outside YOUR borders that we should all still care about your political divisions so much."
During the Cold War, some people used Russia and the Soviet Union interchangeably. The political divisions and the naming of the country are a much bigger deal to the people in that country than to the rest of the world.
I'm going to hypothesize that it wouldn't happen so much if we generally called your capital London, UK, or London, GB, not London, England.

I'm not doing that. I haven't even brought up this concept of relevance.

I'm not expecting anyone to care about our political divisions. Not even in the slightest. In fact, the opposite. I just think people who go to the effort of naming our country should use the correct name, rather than attempt to use the name of a political division incorrectly. The issue is people seemingly do care about these internal politics as they're using England and not just calling us the UK or Britain.
I'm going to hypothesize that it wouldn't happen so much if we generally called your capital London, UK, or London, GB, not London, England.
Well, uh yeah... you're right... if you called our country by the correct name, you wouldn't call it by the wrong name so much. Well done!
let's not pretend the UK doesn't have some cultural influence in the US. And we're still one of the world's largest economical (5th largest nominal GDP) and political powers.
This is where I thought that you were arguing for the relevance of the UK/GB.
I love geography, but I think people who aren't interested in geography are confused about political divisions and when we learn about your country, it's in the context of colonialism and a revolution, where King of England and British are used to describe the same imperial power.
I'll go back to the CGP Grey video. The political divisions are not so clear to people not immersed in it. It's arguably more complex than you think it is, particularly if you want to use the adjective "British." Is that all the overseas territories? Is that all the British Isles?
For someone who brushes off my distinction between America and the USA, you certainly seem indignant about others getting names right. and no, you can't use our idiot president-elect Donald "I have the best words" Trump as your litmus test for what a place is called.

Your responses are boggling to the mind. Why are you going on about colonialisms, revolutions and imperial powers? No one is asking anyone to become experts on the complex political nomenclature of our nation.
I was just asking someone to refer to our country by its actual name, instead of the incorrect one. You don't have to be an expert in geography or politics to know the actual name of a country you're clearly aware of since you're trying to refer to it anyway.
You're making this a lot more complex than it needs to be.
This is where I thought that you were arguing for the relevance of the UK/GB.
This was in response to you going on about relevance and such. Not me making the point by myself as justification for asking why people use the wrong name for my country.
I don't know if you are really trying to understand or just trying to complain about my responses. If I don't have to become an expert, can I just call you England and skip the whole thing? I've been trying to get it right, but maybe I'll just join others in from my country in not caring.
Kind of like the royal family, it's really not as straightforward to everyone who doesn't live there. I was in grade school when I was first confused about all this. We learn some history of separate countries, then they are currently one country, but that one country has a name (UK) that doesn't match the adjective (British) unless we use the full name of UK of GB and NI (a name we NEVER learn in school), so is it British and N. Irish? There are probably stronger cultural ties here to Ireland because there was a mass influx, and to a lesser extent, Scotland. With their separate parliaments, I think it's easy for outsiders to think of them as separate nations. So, at some point, people have to make the effort to sit down and sort it out...and plenty of people just don't care enough to do that. And, if we do, someone from Northern Ireland is likely to tell us to not dare call them anything but Irish. When Scotland was voting on independence, I think some people here only then figured out they were not already independent because they were voting on it.
I bring up colonies, because I would be in total agreement if you were arguing Bosnia vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina or differentiating between the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but when you are telling people living in a country that was colonized by your country that we are stupid that we don't keep track of what to call each part, it's strikes me as a little echo of imperialism, even in 2016.

To be honest, correcting someone calling a major country by the complete wrong name isn't really being nitpicky nor arrogant.
Nitpicking would be telling someone to call it perfectly by its full name, not just asking someone to at least put the most minuscule amount of effort into getting the common shortened name right like the rest of the world.

Firstly, your last point: yes, that was a typo or autocorrect playing up. Thanks!
It is a little confusing (all the more reason for Americans who clearly don't understand the relationship to just call us the UK rather than try and fail to discern any deeper) but the UK is the sovereign state.
We have a British government, but not an English one. We have a British throne, but not an English one. We are part of unions like the EU as the UK, not separate countries. We have British passports, but no English ones. The Union Flag is the flag of the UK, not England. And so forth...
I'm not saying never to refer to England separately but most of the time, there's no need to or it's done incorrectly. In the context I originally made my comment in, referring to the English throne when one really means the British throne is incorrect.

Yeah, if Scotland had voted for independence the Queen would become Queen of the United Kingdom, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand ect.
The independent countries which have the Queen as head of state actually have separate monarchies, the thrones just happen to have the same person on them.
Well they diluted their platform in order to stand a better chance of winning it, and it paid off - but not enough for them to actually win the vote. No problem.

The United States of America.

America is a commonly-accepted shortened name for the USA, just like Britain is for the UK. Fuck, you just elected a president with the tagline "Make America Great Again"!
England is a part of our country, not the name of the country. The equivalent might be to refer to the entire US as, say, California.

I've literally never heard anyone refer to the continent as America. "North America", "South America" and "the Americas", sure, but there's Canadians, Mexicans and Brazilians calling themselves American?
I'm just realizing you are the same person who just replied to me about not calling Great Britain/UK England, which I don't. Do you see any irony in you referring to the USA as "America" when that is two continents (or one, depending on how they are defined where you went to school.

[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 21:34:00 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
No, I don't see any irony. You're either lying or ignorant to act like America isn't a common way of referring to the United States of America. Just like how Britain is a common way of shortening the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
If you're referring to the continent, it's "North America" or "the Americas". The equivalent mistake would be calling the continent "Canada", when "Canada" refers to just a part of the continent.
What is ironic is Americans in this thread joking about all the different ways of referring to parts of the UK and yet they use the same name for their continent and country. At least "Britain" and "England" do refer to two distinct things.
I'm from a progressive, liberal state where we got scolded for referring to the US as America. We could call it the United States, the US, or USA.
Have you traveled at all in Mexico, Central America, or South America? If you do, see how referring to the US as "America" works out for you.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 22:01:29 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Either way, you do see how America is literally in the name of your country. Just like how Britain is in the name of ours. Your president-elect ran on a campaign of "Make America Great Again", not MTUSGA. When you search America in Wikipedia, the first line is "America is a short-form name for the United States of America."
But then notice how England is not the name of our sovereign country, nor part of that name.
Perhaps I have more to learn about the nomenclature and colloquialisms at play across the Americas but that does not make my point about the name of my country any less accurate.

In essence, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are "states" and the UK is the country much like France, Germany, Japan, China, Australia, etc.
England, Scotland, etc existed before the union as separate countries with their own monarchs and such so we still consider and call them separate constituent countries rather than states.
That's the part that confuses some of us over here. Is Britain a country or is England, etc. a country? When countries compete in the World Cup, England is its own country, but then in the recent Olympics it was Team GB. Either way, it's cool. Just giving a point of view from one USA guy. Maybe someday California will be its own entry in an event of countries and the rest of the world will be as confused.

England is a country but it's not sovereign. It's a part of the UK, which is a country and is what we are represented by on an international level. 99% of the time, you mean Britain when you say England. For example, in the instance that I corrected in this thread, the British Throne was referred to as the English throne.
It is confusing but generally diving deep into the well of different names for areas of our country is unnecessary, especially from an American perspective.
It's like referring to the EU as Germany. Germany's part of it, it's own state and often what you're saying might apply to Germany specifically too, but Jean-Claude Juncker isn't the President of Germany.
Thanks. I have a buddy born in England. He claims he is English, not British or UKish, so I think your explanation of the sovereignty summarizes it very well. Folks from England relate to that as their country in same sense as others from non GB countries. But the politics are broader. Like I said in a previous comment, I understand the politics and hierarchy of the U.K./GB. I'm familiar with the different countries too. Just wanted to offer my perspective on why it confuses many people from this side of the oceans. Thanks again for offering explanations. You guys are unique in this sense.

Just refer to us by our country's name: the UK, or Britain... that country that has a far larger population than your state and is a major world political/financial power.
Because our public education system is trash, most of us will never meet a non-American in our lives, and just to throw a little shade your way, the amount of different names that exists for that one comparatively small region of the world is silly.

So what is confusing is why you all seem to attempt to use the more specific names referring to just parts of our country (like England) when you don't understand them.
It's kind of like me knowing what a flower is but trying to call one by it's proper name and ending up calling a tulip by the name of a daisy. I clearly don't understand the individual naming system so I probably should've just said "oh, that's a nice flower".

Our sovereign state and internationally-recognised country is the United Kingdom. We have a British government, a British throne, the Union Flag is the British flag, we're in the G8 as the United Kingdom, we're in the UN as the United Kingdom... fuck, even the embassy on American soil is the British Embassy.

I certainly consider myself British more so than just English, and from my personal experience, I'd say this is more the norm. It seems like a different story in Scotland and NI (well, for some at least but that's a whole other issue).
Either way, referring specifically to England as England is fine. My issue is when Americans (or just non-Brits) refer to our sovereign state as just England. The issue in this thread I pointed out was the claim the Prince of Wales was in the line of succession to the English throne which is incorrect. We don't have an English monarchy; the throne is British.
Because of multiple bloody campaigns over the centuries where the full might of England was brought to bear on the Welsh?
Wales has more castles per square kilo than nearly anywhere else in the world (although Guinness World Records grants that to the Czech Republic). Some were old Roman settlements, but a majority of them were developed by English marcher lords to keep the Welsh down. The English came up with Drawing & Quartering to punish Welshmen who declared themselves Prince of Wales.
So I think it's fair to say Wales is definitely NOT England, even if more recent history has been a little friendlier.
No one's denying that. The point is that it's so similar to England it shouldn't be one. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but you're completely missing the point.
Most of Wales by area, perhaps, but definitely not by population. In the cities, English is easily the most common mother tongue. I think statistically it's more like 20% of Welsh people have Welsh as a mother tongue.
Wales has its own government, its own parliament, its own laws, a separate NHS, a separate education system, a national library, a national museum, and no state religion (unlike England).
It has its own culture, its own traditions, its own language.
It has a flag, an anthem, a national flower and a goddamn national bird.
The language is very much still alive. One fifth of the country speaks it and it is still a community language throughout much of the west. I speak it regularly and am not an "occasional hold out". There is a vibrant Welsh music scene. There's a Welsh language TV station. A Welsh language radio station. Welsh language festivals.
Wales isn't England.

Most of this is true for Quebec.
Is quebec a country?
You said that Wales "kind of is" part of England. It kind of isn't. That is the only point I am making here. Wales and England are separate and distinct parts of the UK.
No Yorkshire is the equivalent of Texas. Why? Because much like Texans, every Yorkshire man never stops going on about where they're from.
Wales is more like Hawaii - we were a seperate nation conquered by the larger, have a distinctly different language, different genes and everyone forgets that we're part of the bigger country. We also have some wicked coastline and share a fondness for dragons.
And clearly the meaning of the name has passed you by.
The Welsh are the Britons. The original Britons. The Britons that spoke their British language all across Britain before the Romans came. The Britons who survived conquest and assimilation by the Anglo-Saxons. The Britons who clung on to their Celtic culture and language at the very edge of the island which was once their own.
In the Middle Ages, "British" meant "Welsh". Those Welsh rulers who attained a position of supremacy over their counterparts were titled "King of the Britons" before "Prince of Wales" took over in the High Middle Ages.
The English government, particularly during the Tudor period (the Tudors were of course very aware of their Welsh roots), did an excellent job of co-opting the Welsh national myth to their own advantage; using the legends of King Arthur and Prince Madog to pursue their imperial ambitions in the rest of the British Isles and in North America, respectively, and through using the word "British" in a new way. Even the first modern usage of the term "British Isles" dates from this time, found in the writings of English imperialist John Dee (himself of Welsh ancestry).
So you see, the Irish name merely preserves the earlier use of the word, and in fact, does underline Wales' distinct identity.

I watched the latest video, I just didn't know what to think about it. :D
Chin Chin banished Frank to the Rice Fields. Imposter Frank (the one with the sunglasses) took his place. Very recently True Frank returned and destroyed Imposter Frank and sent Chin Chin into hiding.
Actually, it was uploaded in 2009, but they took it down for some reason. After all, the comments on the video are from 2009... and there's even Digg...
as Garry Marshall or Rob Horton? Even if he wasn't as notable as all the people on this list, the people who didn't know of him had probably heard Hallelujah. Meanwhile, half these other people are TV Actors from the 50s nobody has ever heard of
I was watching the highlights of J.R. the other day. Been a while since I've gotten into wrestling since it's so tame now, but with Mark Henry coming back, Flair being a personality as well as Edge, and rumors of the violence and attitude coming back, I wanna watch again.
Mark Henry, Flair, and Edge are barely on and it will never be like it was in the late 90s, but right now is the best WWE has been in a very long time. Just AJ Styles alone makes it worth watching. Not to mention over in TNA you have "Broken" Matt Hardy, who recently got a Steve Austin-like pop when he surprised everyone and showed up at a ROH event, (a pre-taped promo anyway). Plus Chris Jericho has proved he's still one of the greatest with the stuff he's doing with Kevin Owens.
There's some stuff that the WWE is doing wrong, like the way they're using Sami Zayn and whatever they're doing with Roman Reigns, but the good seriously outweighs the bad right now.
I don't disagree with how democracy works. And I'm not from either country so I had no say in either of the votes, but those were some dumbass decisions for both countrys.
Now I don't think America will burn just because Trump became president and the pound wont implode because oh brexit, but are they, in my opinion the worse of the two choices? Yes.
No man, didn't you know that Trump is actually a clone of Hitler sent by Russia to destroy America?
Hillary's attempt after attempt to revive the red scare was a warning, and not at all a pathetic attempt to convince undecided voters she's protecting us from a made up threat. Only she could've saved those poor Syrian terrorists rebels from Russia and Assad. It's a complete coincidence that our meddling there is in Saudi and Qatar interests, and is not at all part of NATO's posturing against Russia. If a no fly zone is what it takes to save those terrorists rebels, then it's worth a war and certain nuclear annihilation among global superpowers.
Lol, if you think the fears of Putin's Russia are just unwarranted "Red Scare" tactics then, well, Putin has played you, and millions of other Americas.
Normally I'd agree that fearmongering with Russia is pathetic, but Putin is a different story. I have had the luxury of meeting our ambassador to the Soviet Union/Russia (he was there in 1991, during the coup attempt) and he knew Putin as well. Putin is a terrifyingly smart man who has the connections of the former KGB behind him and decades of experience in the shadier aspects of international politics.
He is a very real threat, and the fact that millions of Americans just elected a man with some questionable opinions on Putin shows just how threatening he is, not just because of his skills, but because people will refuse to take him seriously until it is too late.

I think we need to BAITZA DUSTO this entire year. Or maybe we have already, and that's why famous people keep dying.
I mean its simply a statistical inevitability. 2016 isn't special. You're basically saying that the baby boomers are getting old and dying. Were going to keep seeing the same magnitude (or worse) of celebrity deaths as the baby boomers age.

I'm assuming that you're either not American or you don't know much about our elections. Every election has been protested. All of them.
It's actually the first time I have ever actually seen the US Election being protested. I did not know that there had been protests over the US Election before.

It's a country of over 300 million people, it's nearly impossible to make all of them happy with one person. Even before we had that many people, people got upset over elections. Andrew Jackson's supporters got mad when he won the electoral and popular vote but the House gave it to John Quincy Adams since Jackson didn't get a majority. The South literally left the country when Lincoln got elected. The entire Tea Party movement is basically a response to Obama's election. And so on

I don't remember '92 or '84 being protested, but those are probably the only two in my lifetime that most people were okay with. That being said, I was only 3 years old when 1980 happened so I don't really remember it.
And in '96 the only people really mad were the far-right militia people and the Buchanan supporters.

Obviously different elections have different degrees of protest. You're right, we have had some pretty peaceful ones (well, they're all peaceful, but you know what I mean).
I know most people here are joking, but honestly, it wasn't that insane. I mean yeah, some crazy stuff like Trump, Brexit, Turkish coup and Leicester city happened, but even that is not so usual if you consider the fact that there are something like 200 countries, and every year something silly happens in some of them. This time it was the English-speaking world's turn. The Arab spring was way more important and remarkable, but most people have already forgotten it even happened, apart from the war in Syria.
Also, terror attacks happen every year, this time there just happened to be more in western countries. And saying that a couple Hollywood celebrities dying is something remarkable is just ridiculous: that happens every year.
Memes and fake news becoming part of daily life and having influence outside the Internet is a new development, but is it any special considering the fact that year by year, the impact of social media has grown?
Well, off the top of my head, I think a lot of stuff still happened in Africa (Boko Haram), the Middle East (Syria yes but also ISIS), Asia (think Duterte and the war on drugs, or repression in Thailand), and South America (for example Colombia and the treaty with the FARC). So yeah, intense year all around, I'd say. Not to mention Russia, where everything always has been and always will be intense.
This is very true. The news in our bubble has been so sensationalized that it seems that the mild to shitty news in the Western world has been likened to the whole planet going to shit

No one has actually done a report on this... How sensationalized everything has become due to social media, camera phones, and media outlets blowing things out of proportion just for air time and attention in all of today's noise. I highly believe what we experience today us a direct result of that cocktail
This is very true and we should see whether what is amounting to Westerncentricism has skewed the world media. I will say, as a person who lives in Asia that all of the news you mentioned I am very well aware of as local media has reported on it one way or another. However, the impact of said news on my subconscious may have been influenced by people harping on reddit.
Trump is going to be president and we're going to get a real test of the solvency of our republic. That in and of itself is enough to call 2016 completely fucked
Last year was the spastic terrorism year. People were fully convinced it was going to ramp up ten fold this year. I guess there is still time.

Maybe I am just an ignorant American but this is the first time I have seen globalization so resoundingly rejected. Trump ran on ending NAFTA as a Republican. Brexit was the first time an EU country has left the EU. Many had threatened (see Greece) but usually the powers that be forced the leaders or people of said country to wake up and not attempt to destroy the slow march to globalization. This year, the experts were rejected by the masses and globalization might be under some kind of threat. That seems like a big deal to me.
Nah, you are correct, the atmosphere on this side of the Atlantic is also full of uncertainty, its much worse than when the financial crisis hit. Every single election that awaits Western EU (apart from Germany) will be a gamble between the rising populists, and the worn-out establishment. There is also a great debate among politicians if EU should arm itself to the teeth, should Trump act unloyal to NATO.
And yet no one is mentioning the riots, the calls for police reform, the DAPL protests, the amount of innocent people shot at, maced, hosed... we had planes go down and Istanbul had a major explosion last night. It wasn't just celebrities dying, it started with two massive icons in our culture that represent two extremely upset groups of people. David Bowie was incredibly ambiguous with his gender in his time and the impact of Prince's music on our culture and even gospel music is massive. To lose them both was exceedingly difficult.
Brexit and Trump both were massive reality checks for how divided the western world is becoming. How we will handle Syrian refugees and the middle eastern communities in both countries are terrified by the validation these racists are getting by those victories. No one is saying these events are as bad as something like the Arab spring, they're saying we're old enough now to see the writing on the wall. These are bad omens. And losing people who have brought us relief and joy is a very hard pill to swallow when the world keeps falling apart on every platform we have to see it from.
I agree completely. This year has been interesting news wise and some of the deaths have been shocking. The terrorist attacks disturbed me but as someone just getting by day by day in England I really have been unaffected.
But only because its a statistical inevitability as the baby boomers age. We fully expect more celebrities to die in the coming years - 2016 isn't unusual its simply the beginning of a trend. Old people die, and America has a significantly growing seniors population.
It's so goddam blown out of proportion at this point. The year was incredibly sensationalized.

Brexit wasn't that crazy at all. The EU is a small part of the UK's world, it's not our everything. The UK has never been very invested in the EU and we were taken into it without a mandate. It was only a matter of time that we left since you can be sure that nothing on gods green earth would get the UK to opt in to being in a full political union with the continentals.

Dying from natural causes or long term medical complications is sort of being held up as a bigger tragedy than being randomly gunned down by a psycho in your prime.

Do you know what's happening in Turkey? The day of this bombing, the Turkish Parliament was voting on whether to give Erdogan "presidential powers" (aka give him the power of a dictator). If Erdogan gets those powers, he could use that explosion to declare martial law and disband the Turkish Parliament.
After all, there's strong evidence the coup was staged so he could have even more power. Erdogan has made it very clear he wants to be a dictator. He wants more power, and what better way to do it than to stage a terrorist attack and disband the people who limit his power. It's a real possibility, considering how he already arrested hundreds of judges after the coup.
That has absolutely NOTHING to do with this. Why did you even bring it up? Actually, I already know: you don't have a rebuttal.
And as a side note, yes, I do know what is happening in America. I'm a US citizen who is a registered democrat. I know that we just elected a reality show star who has no clue what the hell he's doing.

And your party just shot up a gay night club in June. Curious you left this out. Yep, you are not the only one who knows what happens in the US. Get over it.
Correction: a domestic terrorist shot up a gay night club.
First of all, that domestic terrorist is a long-time Democrat. His father was invited by Clinton to be seated in the special area in her rally so he is a very important model Democrat. So yes, your party should be responsible for the death of 49 of my fellow LGBT friends and that person is representative of mainstream Democrat Party. Your party has been running an anti-LGBT platform that causes such heavy prices. You should be ashamed.
Imagine if I said the entire Republican Party is responsible for the Planned Parenthood shooting just because the perpetrator was republican.
Even if it is true (it isn't), isn't this what WaPo said exactly? I am not saying they are right or wrong, I am just pointing out that your propaganda media can't maintain logical consistency between the two tragedies. Republicans should be responsible for the PP shooting and Democrats should be responsible for Pulse terrorist attack/hate crime.
MY party running an anti-LGBT stance? The GOP has a VP who is ok with psychologically toruring gay children. Your party is opposed to freedom for the LGBT.

If Trump can win presidency, If Frank Ocean can release NOT 1 BUT 2 ALBUMS, if the Cubs can win their first World Series in over 100 years, fucking anything can happen. I'm way sure much more crazy unbelievable shit happened but its early and I can't think straight.
UK and US fought for who could fuck up the most and still survive. A gorilla died. Black people died. Famous people died. Batman v Superman disappointed. Bunch of memes that didn't last. Ken Bone mothafuckas. What else...Leo got an oscar, no one died at the hunger games Rio 2016, rick rolls came back, and terror attacks every other day.
BUT, don't any of that distract you from the fact that the Cleveland Indians blew a 3-1 lead, which shouldn't distract you from the fact that the Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead...which shouldn't distract you from the fact that Hilary Clinton blew a 3-1 lead.
But that's the thing though. For example I'm 23. Just turned a few weeks ago. And even I recognize that we've had similar/worser years, that I've experienced. And people keep mentioning the year a bunch of famous people died. But are we forgetting the year 2009, just 7 years ago. Michael Jackson. Farrah Fawcett. David Caradine. Billy Mayes. Patrick Swayze. Walter Cronkite. Robert McNamara. Ted Kennedy. These are the few I can remember. Shit going down in the Middle East? Man this has been happening since 1914 and just progressively getting worse. I mean I remember the Iraq War starting up and how bad that was. Same with Afghanistan. Had a shitty man elected into office even though the popular said someone else? Umm Bush was elected just 16 years ago.

LeBron wins the first sports Championship for Cleveland since 1964 after they came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors, who themselves came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.
The Cubs win their first World Series in over a century after coming back from a 3-1 deficit.

TL;DR: We decided that being angry at other people was more newsworthy than reporting that we as planet is doing better on many fronts than ever in history.
Child mortality is at the lowest level in history globally ever. More people than ever have access to clean drinking water and electricity than ever before. More children are going to school. Less people life in poverty.
So in many ways we are doing better but we only care about the outrage and being angry
It was like a rollercoaster, except not the fun kind. More like that one your dad made you go on when you were little and it scared the shit out of you and you didn't ride another one for a few years. Like that, but someone told you grandma died before you got on.
A gorilla died, which set off a domino effect of a ton of beloved celebrities to die. People cried, politicians lied, journalism died, and the only truth tellers in the world had to hide.
2016 was quite a ride, we split into different sides. But after everything, Amy Schumer is still pretty wide.
If time travel were real someone would've warned us about any of it

2016: The year the entire world shitposted so hard that memes became reality. We celebrated by forming a religion around one meme and electing another one President.
2016: The world's Reichstag fire of a year. If the Reichstag was a giant dumpster full of gorillas, celebrities, and the most unlikely events possible.

Gained like 40 pounds, got kicked out if my uni, had a mental breakdown, mom had cancer (thank god no chemo), lost touch with alot of friends. 10/10 year
A white kid assumed a black gorilla's gender, causing the gorilla to be shot by Donald Trump. Trump was later elected president after promising to Make America Great Again by building a wall to protect Ken Bone from seeing a Cubs world series win & indicting the Zodiac Killer, Ted Cruz. Also, Hillary Clinton beat Pokemon Go while Joe Biden and Barack Obama were married by a priest who hit the hottest dab of the century. Also, Kanye West announced his candidacy for the 2020 bottle flipping competition.
Nov 2015 was unemployed since March and couch-surfing since August with no home, needed work badly, went back to an old employer, at same time got back together with bf (same who made me homeless, he claimed he freaked out and never meant to hurt me and wanted me to move in, have a family, and to be with me forever, I believed him), and I really really loved him and believed him to be my soulmate and forever love... both the job and in turn the relationship quickly became not good (stagnant with same old problems plus some more) w/ added stress of 3hr/day commute & non understanding bf, so seriously lacked quality together time or fun, was always exhausted, and my health and happiness greatly suffered as I needed support and care and got none, instead he preceded to be more and more an asshole to me caring about only his wants and ignoring most all of mine no matter how I asked, I felt increasingly alone and unloved and stressed as I just couldn't comprehend why he was treating me in the ways he did, I kept trying to discuss things with him so we could find resolutions together, and I kept trying to help him improve his life, be a great partner to him, be a great mom to his daughter, and make our lives really great today and in our future together which included trying to find me new work to get rid of the commute, help him get his child support stuff properly handled, help him improve his business, but he was lazy, hardly worked just played, took my money but called it '50/50', antagonized me and called me names with some regularity (fat mostly, but also lazy, crazy, just a woman, that I was not his equal, that my time and me had less value than him, etc) and he basically rarely included me in much of anything anymore, we rarely went on dates and if we did, there was no generosity or happiness, all was about money with him including him giving me grief once over a couple quarters of change (even though I had bought him dinner the night before), he almost never acknowledged the great things I did for him they were just expected but he rarely went out of his way for me, additionally he would do things or make comments that would make me rather insecure, add to his being very secretive and lies I was noticing he'd tell (little ones but still, they make you wonder what else), I just couldn't really trust him or discuss anything with him, life was always walking on eggshells, I originally attributed this all to his still healing from divorce years earlier but that was no excuse any longer, and so I didn't understand if this was all on purpose towards me (did he want to hurt me? who wants to hurt someone they love? I still don't get it), and it felt like every time I tried to talk to him, nothing was ever his fault and he usually manipulated things and turned them back on me somehow such as I was somehow to blame or didn't understand or he didn't care and I could just leave if I didn't like it, etc, and I was just completely lost by then, it was 7 months of living basically like I was in a dorm room, mostly out of a small closet as he never let me fully move in (no room for me, other excuses, etc), nor was I really fully a part of the family, his rollercoaster alternating between love and asshole behavior just confused and destroyed me more and more as I kept giving and hoping, and couldn't understand why he wouldn't reciprocate my great behavior back, and eventually I really fell apart and became a shell of my former self, during that downslide I found a new fantastic job with minimal commute and I was aglow with happiness that things would finally be made right and begin improving, but they didn't really, I was ignored or not considered most of the time, and I began to check out mentally as it seemed he already was and started treating him the way he was treating me in one last ditch effort to see if maybe he'd 'wake up', he didn't but he did notice my behavior as becoming more 'bitchy' (yeah, I was mirroring him) and treated me even worse, and with support of a better job and improving me again I really began to grasp just how unhealthy he really was (maybe always was but hid well, or just a response to other things like his ex wife, I don't know) and I was unhealthy because of him, and that I just couldn't be strong enough for both of us anymore (I don't even think he ever realized how much of his bs I shouldered), I couldn't save someone that didn't want to be saved or want to see a different and better life, and that he definitely wasn't going change back to be the really amazing and great man I used to see in him, he was unwilling to see anything wrong with his behavior or thoughts of recent or many years and I couldn't take the emotional abuse anymore, we broke up during a vacation (he broke up with me just to stab in the knife, pretty sure he was already talking to other women or cheating), he treated me with even more cruelty right at the end just to hurt me even more (why he loved hurting me, someone he claimed to love forever, I still haven't a clue, and in 3 years, I was great to him, we almost never fought, I even only ever said something critical or mean to him during 2 occasions, 1 when he was verbally attacking me right before the end and I need him to stop, another when he did one of the cruelest things he could've ever done to me after we ended, brought another girl home 1 day later right in front of my face and yelled at me to call me crazy even though I had told him I was going to be there and had paid rent), really, at the end of the day he lost what would've been an amazing life with the only person in his life not blood related that actually gave a damn about him (none of his friends really do, most people think hes a self-righteous jackass, and his family has no choice, mom is dying and dad would otherwise peace out, but they want to see their granddaughter have the best life possible), he's burned most of his bridges in life, is going nowhere work wise or life wise, and now I hear he's a cuck too (hilarious), he's just an idiot now, at one time he had within him all the potential in the world and we so amazingly in love, birds of a feather, were probably just about the most compatible 2 people could ever be, but that great man is totally gone I think and with him my love of him, he chose to be this horrible person instead for reasons beyond any logical or rational thought instead of a great man and my teammate, and I think can only be attributed to serious mental issues on his part, I always had his back, and would've always stood by his side had he just been that great man again that I see in him to me but no, so spent 2 months couch surfing until I found a new place to live, all of his rollercoaster of abuse and love took a huge toll on me, and I spent a long time doing much much healing and self improvement mentally and physically, and I am proud to say I am back to my happy, healthy, confident, intelligent, beautiful, and athletic self again! ....but even better than I've ever been before, I am better looking than ever, fitter, mentally stronger, in a much more stable and better place in life, and I'm committed to constant improvement and caring for myself, I will only care for people who actually deserve it, I will not ever allow someone to strip all those things away from me again. Learned many lessons. Dating again but committed to singleness until I find someone actually worthy of me, live in a great area, walk to work, have great job, health is a habit, lots of travels and adventures, positive outlook, I love myself and my life is very good!
Edit: that got long, but was cathartic...
Edit 2: fixed some words
tl;dr Lots happened this year, initially was a rollercoaster, then was downhill, renewed myself, worked hard, and life is great and getting even better every day and excited for 2017!

US politicians discovered voters are too apathetic to perform their function as a check balance in the democracy. Lying, corruption, and complete incompetence all now go without consequence.
Ebola tried to kill us all. The US has a Cheeto for a President. The UK packed it's bags and gave France the rest of Europe the finger. Giant earthquakes, forest fires, The herald of the almighty and voice of the one true god died. you might remember him as Snape or Hans Gruber. We poached several animals to the ragged edge of extinction. Bill Cosby America's black father drugged and raped enough women to field a halway decent football team.
TL;DR: Black people shot, white people convinced it's still not a race thing. Trump wins, white people realize it's a race thing.
EDIT: Harambe dies, memes become real life.

Memesters grow up and realize that reality doesn't always conform to their expectations. People they like die like everyone else eventually, people they don't like win elections, people they built a small altar and phonebanked for get shafted.
They're still not ready to accept that this is the natural order of things, so they make it into a ZOMG CURRENT YEAR meme.

Britain keeps it's love/hate relationship with EU
It's more like a hate-hate relationship to be honest, I'd say even most Remain voters aren't ideologically keen on "more Europe" like joining the Euro or Schengen (we even have opt-outs to continue using miles on the roads) but find the economic risks of leaving unacceptable. There simply isn't much of a European identity in the UK, we've always felt closer to Australia and the US than Romania or Hungary.
Is that what you really think? Do you honestly think that everybody that did not vote for Hillary did so because she is a female and the options are male?
It was sarcasm. Relax. have a beer.
I would pick trump over Hillary any day of any year but no i do not ACTUALLY think all people voted for her because she's a woman.
Well, it all started with this fucking gorilla, we put what little kids call a fart in the white house, the UK said to the world "We don't like foreigners!" and many, many more conspiracy theories

Russia ups rhetoric against EU and US, Russia accused of mass cheating by Olympic association - creates major diplomatic fallout. US responds with cold-war like aggression.
Columbia votes to continue a civil war against an organization charged with terror related activities that wanted to call peace.
India's center-right party shocks its economy by withdrawing two high-value notes from circulation; they account for 85% of all currency value in circulation, and are primarily used in undocumented illegal markets.
Turkey falls into deep political crisis as sporadic violence increases
Europe hates the political establishment's reaction to the migrant crisis - everyone is leaning towards the far-right - the left-wing has collapsed.
Strong increase in Islamism outside the Muslim world, Islamophobia is increasing.
The United Kingdom left the European Union, its youth love capitalism and want to emigrate from the UK.
A polarizing racist lawmaker, Donald Trump, got elected as the President of the United States
1) I think it's a bigger deal for South Korea, than it is for the rest of the earth. I think the shock of a president getting impeached is what captured the attention of the west.
2) The King of Thailand has some importance to the whole of East Asia and India, as he has lineage and poltico-royal connections with India and China.
3) Russia has gotten more aggressive recently, albeit I'm someone who thinks that the west is also over-aggressive too.
4) I hope it ends well.
5) Turkey is going through a period of increasing nationalism, conservatism, war-mongering against it's Kurdish population, Islamism, and anti-westernism. It's reducing human rights while violence has sharply increased.
6) Europe's problem with Muslims has always existed. Unlike the USA, the main issue with Muslims is their socio-economic position which mimics Blacks in the US.
7) There's been an sharp increase recently though. I'd imagine that they'll be far more soon as war doesn't seem to be ending any time soon. There have also been sharp movements to desecuarlize several Muslim countries like Indonesia and Turkey.
Not much argument with that, except Trump. No one knows how he will govern. He has been a Democrat and a Republican.

I'm not all pro-europe or anything, buy how is the mass migration of people from the middle East "of Europe's own making". Wasn't it an American led illegal, thieving, murderous, just-plain-wrong war in Iraq and bombing of Libya and attempt to overthrow Assad in Syria the primary reasons for the migration?
But, it's more about how Europe welcomed the migrants, without giving much thought to what that meant. The US, for all its failings, does do a much better job of integrating immigrants.

Every year its the same thread with people crying over dead celebrities and talking about how horrible the year was because rich successful people who lived a long happy life died, so tragic.
A lot of celebrities die, Gorilla gets shot and becomes idolized, clowns cause hysteria, violence involving police, and Donald Trump wins presidential election.
TL;DR 2016 is the movie that starts the franchise where everything fucked up happens, and everyone has too much hope 2017 will fix things. They don't know what a trilogy looks like.

TL;DR 2016: Personally, it was hard, maybe the most difficult year of my life so far. Physical health, mental health, financial health, all went badly.
Not everyone. Just the shit lords who voted Trump while waving confederate flags. The majority of voters actually voted to move the country forwards. The rest did have some racist shit lords in their mix, but most were just voting out of fear. Whether fear of Muslims, Mexicans, change or what have you. That doesn't make them bad people, just terrified masses needing a con man who promises only he can keep them safe.
If by breaking his campaign promises, empowering Wall Street, embarrassing the US in general and office of the president in particular, ignoring intelligence briefings, showing little interest in actually doing the job of a president, and acting like a teenager using twitter to bicker publicly, then sure, he's done a lot.
I do believe in giving credit where credit is due though- his appointment of Mattis was spot on.
Other than that, he's been busy pulling the rug out from under his supporters.
So, he's created 84k jobs already. Dollar is up. Stocks are soaring. Diplomacy worldwide is about to happen, especially with the Saudis, Japan, Russia, China, Syria, Mexico. Apple, Carrier, Ford coming home...
Those are my specific examples. Please show me some specific examples instead of regurgitating unproven and baseless garbage spewed by the CNN tabloid.
You're a liar and you know it.
"Ignoring intelligence briefings"...you must mean Obama, who has missed over half of his in his 8 years.
I take Trump at his word- he's skipping all but ~1 briefing per week.
Unlike Obama, who read his PDB each day and followed up with questions, coming prepared to the meetings. When there where no questions or action items, yes, the 9:30 was cancelled. But that was only after his careful analysis. The Government Accountability Institute debunked article you refer to has been debunked for years.
As for jobs- Are you referring to the inflated Carrier numbers Trump cited when he backed out of his campaign promise to punish those who leave? You know, rather than punish, he went for the PR stunt and simply bribed Carrier to keep a subset of their jobs temporarily as they use their taxpayer-funded dollars to automate their factories to reduce costs (aka layoff the jobs he claims to have saved) later?
Or are you talking about the Saudi-backed SoftBank investment that was in the works before the election even happened? You know, the one with the all too obvious dog and pony show that Trump could do a song and dance number and claim 'credit' for. The one that he took credit for for allowing a consumer-crushing parent company merger to continue?
Trump is showing to the world that as long as you say something nice about him, you can have your way with the American public. His actions are the antithesis of looking out for the common American. He's a narcissist that will let people get away with anything as long as they flatter him. It's weak. It's pathetic.
But hey, just keep telling yourself that he's draining the swamp as you lose count of just how many Wall Street execs he's putting in charge of the policies that will determine whether Wall Street or Main Street prospers. He sure is being tough on Goldman, isn't he?
But hey, you just go ahead and keep on following your 'God Emperor' or whatever the timid, frightened masses that feel only Trump can keep them safe are calling him now. With luck you'll feel the rug being pulled out from under you before it's too late. If not, well, don't feel bad. You're not the only one that went to Trump U.
Everything you said is absolutely false- I'd love to see you back it up by verified sources. No, Washington Post opinion pieces aren't sources. No, you can't find any sources because they don't exist. Yes, Trump is bringing back a ton of jobs. Yes, Trump is taxing U.S. companies 35% that stay overseas. Yes, Trump is already turning the country great. Yes, you are delirious. No, you cannot have government rationed tendies anymore.
Especially funny that I asked for specifics and you started making stuff up, but can't expect too much from the brainwashed left. Troll harder, child.
But all that is beside the point- you're counting on him to #MAGA. Sadly, our greatness isn't measured in what a minority of voters feel about how badass we are and whether President Camacho is tough enough. Given then shear derision and condescension our new orange God Emperor is instilling in them, he's not exactly making the US look good in anyone eyes other than his most hard core minority of supporters.
I don't think you read any of those sources. You linked opinion pieces. Opinion. And took them as fact. (Or out of context bullshit)
Carrier deal for example: a $700k tax break per year for ten years for a total of $7 million in tax breaks, when the taxes paid would total a bit over $2 million per year for sending deal. Last I checked, that's a net positive of $1.3 million in tax revenue for the U.S. WITH additional jobs.
Stop posting opinion pieces and show me facts. (You can't)
Again, you're blindly eating up a PR stunt and not looking at the next level down.
For example- the $65M it's saving by moving more operations to Mexico, or the $16M investment that's part of the deal to keep costs down by automating those jobs in the Indianapolis plant.
But all that ignores the bigger picture- He buckled. Rather than penalize, the moment a company threatened to leave he bent the knee and offered them breaks. The message of how to bully this administration has been sent. Threaten to move X jobs, get the breaks you want, and just move the Y jobs you originally wanted. The only price for the company is you flatter his hyper sized ego with a PR statement after.
It's not just unsustainable in an economy of this size, it's terrible policy.

Not many likable characters, and those there were died off way too early.
TLDR: Leo won the oscar, cubs win the world series, dallas cowboys go 11-1 and the rupublicans own all of the US Goverment. (And some people died, I guess)
Sadly, there have been 24 bomb attacks in Turkey this year. Countless lifes, countless dreams left this world because of irresponsible people's political ideas. This has been the worst among last 14 years. Sad part is that every year in Turkey we say "This year was the worst." but every other year its been worse and worse... I hope our country will get better sooner, or every beautiful thing we have in Turkey will be painted by blood...

People pretended they cared about gorillas and David Bowie and then turned around and elected a climate change denier.
Other than many famous celebrities (and our Lord and Saviour Harambe, he died for our sins) dying, the whole world at some point throughout the year each had their "hold my beer" moment to prove that nothing is impossible by doing the impossibly stupid or at the very least the absolutely unexpected. Britain voted to leave the EU, the electoral college voted (will be voting) for Trump in the US General elections (we all know the people didn't), Italy voted against Constitutional reform, Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his Best Actor Oscar, Leicester City won the Premier League, the Cubs won the World Series, and so far we've capped off with the death of Fidel Castro, which I believe was due to the CIA finding a way to weaponise time itself since their other assassination attempt failed lol.
Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen for the season finale of the hit TV spin-off to "Lost", "2016"! Airing December 31st.
Lots of people and 1 gorilla have faded. OSU accident evaded. Trump inaugurated. Help me out I stated, my words that end in "aded/ated" have evaporated.

Beginning of World Wide Populism and Protectionism. Cubs won world series. Donald Trump elected president after womanizing, yelling, fear indoctrination. At least 5 of greatest musicians of all time die happy before any of it could happen.
The world was too busy mourning over a zoo animal to stop several potentially dangerous power moves by the greater governments of our respective countries.
The Cubs finally won the World Series - - but at what cost?

Epilogue:
Then the Lord came, floral shirt stills on, flip flops on His feet. Slowly, He drops his luggage and sharpens his eyes, annoyed by the chaos in His always well cleaned bureau. He cleans his troath:
"Where's Jesus? And who the hell are you?"
"ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
"Fuck."
People cope with things that happened in 2016 by worshipping a dead gorilla, and voting the gorilla for president in hopes that the gorilla could maybe save the world.
Unpopular opinion: 2016 want outrageously bad compared to their years. There's just a circle jerk about every year being bad. This has been caused by bad news being easier to access than ever with the internet. However, it's still been a bad year. Just not as bad as everyone says.

Muffled screams can be heard in the background while the voice of Donald trump attempts to calm them down with his limited vocabulary. Two gunshots can be heard and several Pokémon GO players stumble upon his corpse. Later, the cops that arrive on the scene of Donald trump's death call it a suicide. Several news stations that report the story of Donald Trump's death also use memes in an attempt to get millennials to watch TV news and not just check their new social media. insert necessary comment about fucking harambe. Several Daniels are still suffering from PTSD and whenever someone says damn around them they flinch. Britain and the US had a competition to see who could fuck up the most and it is still unclear but I think that the US will cause more lasting damage. Planned parenthood received enough donations from Mike Pence that they may be able to oppose his actions to close them. There are STILL climate deniers out there. Vladimir Putin is secretly engaged to Donald Trump. The year of 2016 will go down in history as the year when we finally realized that we may be fucking up real bad.
2016 was so weird that no one even mentioned the fairly unexpected death and subsequent unprecedented lack of replacement for Justice Scalia on the first page of top comments.
Everyone is complaining about 2016. 2017 should be worse we haven't hit the climax of this shit storm yet. Remember America is still divided, the Middle East is still a shit show with Isis and all, and all of this shit is still escalating rather than deescalating. 2017 will be the new 2016, you heard it here first.

After a huge shitshow of a presidential election we actually managed to elect the moderate liberal instead of the right wing populist spouting whatever he thinks his voters wanted to hear.
2016 could have gone a lot worse over here in Austria.
My friends and have a little song regarding 2016, both for the school and for the life, it's called "Fuck this shit I'm out." I'll let you guess the lyrics.

I know everyone is saying fuck 2016 but how about responsibility?
The past bit us in the ass. Our actions came back around to haunt us. And we still don't fucking own up to it.
TL;DR Everyone, moderate, apathetic, liberal, right... everyone is simply an irredeemable POS. The only unique thing about 2016 was we found ourselves eating the shit we served each other. That is the summation.
A guy of possibly Islamic origin drove his truck through a crowd of many beloved celebrities because a Blastoise spawned right in front of him and he got distracted.

People never learned to stop protest voting and it fucked everything up.
The growing resentment felt by those left behind by the combination of globalization, multi-culturalism, and socialism in the West has finally crossed the tipping-point, leading to the rise of new populist-right candidates and parties around the Western world, with the right-populists winning major elections in Italy, the UK, and the US in 2016, much to the surprise of many who never travel outside the major urban hubs, and who consume media primarily produced in those hubs.
TL;DR: There was a conspiracy started by Donald Trump in which a gorilla was shot. People lost their shit so much that Leicester won the league, the Cubs won the World Series, Britain left Europe and Trump became President. Scores of celebrities committed suicide rather than witness the world fall.
TLDR; people whinged about some trivial stuff that was actually mostly pretty funny in hindsight but they didn't realise it was so trivial until global warming really kicked in
You know the cold open format of "It's Always Sunny" where the gang says one thing, then the title card says the opposite thing is what happened as the title theme starts?
Celebs died, a gorilla died, you didn't get a girlfriend and we memed Donald Trump right into the presidency. Also, music and games were pretty shit this year, movies were great and I think most people stopped reading. Brits pulled some stupid shit, a whole lot of European prime ministers resigned. Someone leaked a metric shitton of damning info on most of the rich people in the world and nothing happened to any of them. Syria kept being Syria. ISIS got beaten down to basically being confined to a single city, so that's nice. Oh and for a brief moment it looked like a stupid Pokemon game was going to bring peace to the world....but then people got bored.
You know what, way too much shit happened to TL;DR this year.
Shit hit the fan, no one knows what the fuck's going on.

2016: When suicide and being negative became a meme; When ambition became Netflix and video games; When losers lose their shit on micro shit; And when winners didn't notice 2016 and won macro.
So, can we all agree on something then? 2017 needs to be better. Regardless of what Mother Nature does WE need to be better. We need to use our internet power to help people, we need to be extra grateful. I am sure many of you remember "today you, tomorrow me." I think that needs to be our motto this year. I can't take another year like this one I just can't.
The day before yesterday I found out an old friend was hit by a car while crossing the street. He was pronounced dead where he lay by the time the medics got to him. I haven't seen him in years and we live 300 miles apart but he was still my friend. I'm not saying 2016 didn't have some good parts because I think it did but it's been covered in shadow by all of the tragedies. Christmas is coming and I haven't been able to get into the spirit of things. Christmas is my favorite holiday and this year between the mental health issues, how 2016 has gone, and the mess that my parents marriage has turned into I just can't find the joy. 2017 has to be better it just has to.
I feel like whenever the dead celebrity thing gets brought up, people should look to previous years to see, WOW, celebrities died in those years too. Go figure.

You people are so solipsistic. You think everything that you experience is superlative in some way. Don't you people realize that history didn't start at the year 2000?
Have you ever played Madden football and decided to QB sneak or run the ball every single play, and even though you keep getting fucked up and pushed back like 20 yards on every drive, you keep trying to run it hoping MAYBE you'll actually gain some yards at some point?
You're the player running the ball and 2016 is the defense that keeps fucking you.
Tl;Dr Americans fucked themselves over repeatedly, didn't want to hear the 'whiners' warning them, got fucked, basically burned their houses down, and now they're good as dead.

People fed up with the liberals going too far, and to be fair the PC-movement gets to be pretty annoying at a point, the people voted in an egotistical orangutan to be our president. Turns out that people have a limit to how much they'll take.
Pretty much this:
"Fuck you. And you. Oh and double fuck you! You guys are cool. Fuck those guys, their friends and their family. Fuck this. Fuck that! What the fuck? Man...fuck you."

This year is the point of divergence between the United Federation timeline and the Terran Empire timeline, and we're on the latter. Not quite Imperium of Man yet, but getting there.
This year was a great whirling batshit pandemonium, somewhat resembling the chaos of an especially ethnic wedding. Somewhere, a soused uncle deliberately shatters china on the floor. Muddy livestock is decorated, and then lost track of. The question, "Whose mule is this?" at times can be heard over the din. This is now our reality.
An episode of celebrity apprentice but every time they say "you're fired" it gets replaced by the 2016 election but every time a candidate drops out it is replaced by a news report of a beloved celebrity who died this year
Not many great movies. Sports this year were meh. Video games this year were mostly shit releases. Politics became too ingrained in people's lives. Trump is President. Most people mad for no reason. Shit goes on.
You know that episode of Futurama where the time skips happen because of the particles or whatever? That's 2016.

For all you negative people. I know that this will be great year for wine. Lots of sun in September so lots of sugar in grapes. Looking forward to that.

TL;DR – You know those events that are really, well, eventful? The kind that prompt people to make "What's the TL;DR for this year" threads three weeks early? That's what happened.
People were generally unpleasant to each other but people had hope for 2017. Then they saw the trailer to 2017 and it starred the dude everyone thought wasn't going to be in it, so people started flipping out and calling 2016 horrible.

Gorilla dies, internet rages. Reality TV star wins presidency, DNC cries HAXX!
Wife wants a divorce. About to live by myself in a city I never thought I would even visit.
Friend's mom died.
Friend's dad died.
Family friend died.
Siblings got laid off.
My best friend almost died, but she got abandoned by her bf and he took all of her stuff. She's pregnant by his kid.
Lots of celebrities died, the liberal agenda got screwed over and they're not too happy about it, and society is more focused on not offending anyone and nitpicking whatever some celebrity has to say over anything of actual importance.

TL;DR Sanders convinced the rust belt that Hillary Clinton was the reason for the demise of US manufacturing, and that the process could be reversed with simple policy changes, like opposition to NAFTA and the TPP. This basic misunderstanding was the foundation of President Elect Trumps victory in those areas, which won him the election.
wife divorced me because I was unemployed; she fucked some guy; she had a baby; he did a runner; she went broke; I got a job; I'm awash with cash; I don't give a fuck who was elected.
TL;DR: Western political establishment is in tatters, media is clueless, The Donald is president elect, Middle East still sucks, EU is possibly going to end, and some people and a gorilla died.

An over long, year full of bullshit and idiots.
YouTube fucked over like 99% of youtubers, pebble died, most new movies are shitty, Donald trump got elected as president and is gonna fuck over America.
2016: When a dead gorilla and an undecided voter who asked a realistic question were the biggest celebrities of the year, and both seem like better options than the two we got stuck with for president. Trump wins, Britain leaves, memes grip the nation and everyone we love dies. Oh and the cubs win. (20 days left for more shit to go down guys)
In 2017, aliens invaded and wiped out a third of the population, along with the Internet. Many historians and other people who were there argue that 2016 was the worst year in this decade.
TL;DR. Woke up. Watched the Olympics players spread aids. Saw a bunch of people overdosed on drugs. Watched my fellow Americans fight over an oppressed woman, and a meme. Then realized it has been 75 years since Asians proved how great they were at causing accidents. Decided to go back to bed.
I met a girl who actually liked me! We had a fantastic, deep relationship! Then she treated me like shit and cheated on me! We broke up and I attempted suicide! But it was so great while it lasted! I loved it!
squints positiiiiivity you can do it
Naw, tbh, this world is just a big joke. Let's take a moment and laugh at the funniness of it all.
TL;DR Olympians spread aids. Guns became less deadly than overdoses. American people were forced to choose between an oppressed murdering woman or a meme who has no vocal filter. Then we all realized that 75 years ago Asians proved there skill at crashing. America decided that Mexico needed lessons in wall construction, but the Chinese wouldn't refinance our loans.

2016 tl;dr A gorilla died, celebrities died, people (and cops) died in the streets, Clintons died professionally, and democracy died. The publics IQ is dropping, and everyone's feelings get hurt over everything...
Oh, and Donald Fucking Trump will be President.
I would recommend you simply pick a publication or two (New York Times and Wall Street Journal, for example) and read them cover to cover each day. Buying the physical papers will help you not feel overwhelmed, because while they constantly post breaking news and new content online, their paper formats are finite and thus easy to get through and be done for the day.
There's really no other way to become truly informed than to put in the time and effort of researching (reading) what people are saying and doing.
If you absolutely reject the idea of reading the newspaper and just want the quick and dirty version, www.OnTheIssues.org is a popular but by no means perfect site to get candidate stances on issues.
A larger amount of famous people died in 2016 than normal, but at least they didn't live to see Trump elected. So for them "It'll never happen in my lifetime" was correct.
A pussy-grabbing Oompa Loompa won the presidential election.

People are getting poorer and self servicing jerks run most of the world.
Who are you asking? The hive mind of humanity or me personally?
Personally been consistently the best year of my life by leaps and bounds start to finish, and it's pretty awk walking around and everybody is on fire and depressed and in chaos and I'm just metaphorically walking around with my headphones playing cheerful music, strolling through the park with a smile on my face, humming.
TL;DR The USA showed the world that their decisions are manipulated by TV media by electing Donald Trump as president; Canada showed her kinder gentler side by electing Justin Trudeau Prime Minister; and the clean-up of the world's addict population began with the introduction of fentanyl.
Democracy is failing all over the world. Democratically elected leaders try to become dictators, and are succeeding. People are asked to vote about complicated things that they don't understand. Democratic countries are not able to react quickly enough to the actions of non-democratic countries.
Fake news, disgraceful presidential election (regardless of which side you were on), and people whining about celebrity deaths, like dying at 93 is some sort of unexpected assassination by the year itself.
Media: (Smugface) It's 2016! Dont do this because you're an idiot if you you think differently to us.
Public: Oh my god media if you don't stop being so snarky i'm going to do it just to watch you get rekt

TLDR: Globalism is on it's way out.
My (optomistic) prediction for future years:
2017: Le Pen wins, France and Italy leave the EU, CNN and ABC lose WH Press privileges and are replaced with Breitbart and Infowars
2018: EU collapses, Germany is really fucking pissed, North Korea does some crazy shit, US/China relations are tense, US/Russia relations improve, Soros extradited to Russia in exchange for Snowden
2019: Wall gets built, Federal Reserve audited, take down of the NWO begins, Rothschilds are assassinated left and right by independent militia groups
2020: Trump wins second term, defeats Elizabeth Warren (D) and Ben Sasse (I)
I'm laughing my ass off at the delusional mind that thinks any of these things are good or even accurate...
Btw, Rothschilds are behind Trump, Putin, and turkey. When you get a chance scope out Genie energy and it's board of directors.

Of course they are. They fund both sides of everything and use the central banks to control nations and get rich. Trump's gonna bring and end to them though. They thought they had control of Kennedy, and ended up killing him when he attempted to end their control of the US.
100 years after poisonous nationalism reeked havoc across the globe in two world wars we now see a very similar and even more cancerous nationalism on the rise.

You may have helped to destroy this country (and possibly the world) IF YOU DIDNT VOTE IN THE US ELECTION! 41.9% of eligible voters didn't exercise their right and fulfill their obligation as a citizen. The candidate who won the popular vote will not be the person inaugurated in January. ಠ_ಠ
Judging by abnormal amount of everyone getting kneejerk offended reactions to stories based on only what they heard, and how Trump was elected by a group of millions of uneducated people. I would say the TL;DR of 2016 would be "Too Long, Didn't Read"
TL;DR Liberals thought conservatism/nationalism was dead, repeatedly get proven wrong and think that they are living in an alternate universe because people have an opinion other than theirs.

Liberals were so butt hurt that people had different opinions than them and they resorted to calling everyone a racist, homophobic, xenophobic blah blah blah.
Tl;dr: a bunch of 18 to 20 somethings think they and their opinions are better than half the country's.
Inb4 anyone replies, Liberals have been acting like hypocritical, whiny cry babies. You know, I know it, we all know it.
Enjoy your government full of billionaire insiders who are hell bent on making millions and taking whatever they possibly can from the middle class.
Seriously man, enjoy it. But something tells me you don't pay enough attention to the news to even know what's going on and connect it to your miserable life.

I mean shit, accidents happen people. There's been thousands and thousands of dumb shit behavior where fucking innocent humans died as well as other animals, but nothing like this dumbass overreacting response.
absolutelybored · 29 points · Posted at 20:34:16 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
no one was really outraged or racist, at least to my knowledge...I think you just misinterpreted the Internet latching onto a new meme (dicks out for harambe, etc)
Krispyz · 18 points · Posted at 20:47:32 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Well, people were definitely outraged. There were a lot of people upset that Harambe was shot, petitions hoping to hold the parents of the child responsible for his death. A hell of a lot of people with a misunderstanding of how tranquilizers work thinking that shooting him was taking it too far (tranqs don't drop an animal right away and the pain of the dart would most likely have made the gorilla angry and more likely to kill or injure the kid).
However, the vast majority of the jokes on reddit and the "dicks out for harambe" (slang for guns drawn) was just latching onto a situation to make morbid humor. I don't think there was any real racism involved... aside from people equating Harambe to the black lives matter thing.
dlawoff · 10 points · Posted at 20:38:54 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
No, I saw a bunch of outrage against the parents, and also some outright racist shit. When usually people would be falling over themselves thanking the zoo staff for acting quickly to save a toddler.
And shit like:
"More than 400,000 people have now signed a petition on Change.org, calling for the young boy's parents, Michelle Gregg and Deonne Dickerson, to "be held accountable for lack of supervision and negligence that caused Harambe to lose his life." The petition further states that the boy's parents should be investigated by the authorities, because the parents alleged negligence at the zoo is potentially "reflective of the child's home situation.""

Of course accidents happen and parenst can't watch their children 24/7 but it was far from easy for that toddler to fall in. That's why it hadn't happened before. This kid would have had to be going at it for a few minutes, at least according to others who saw the exhibit. I'm not saying losing a kid for a few minutes is impossible or that the parents in this case were necessarily negligent, but it's understandable that people would be questioning why thousands of kids see the exhibit year in and year out and none of them got in. I think that the sheer amount of people contributing to the outrage has to do with how widespread the meme became and not that it was some great tragedy. In fact that's kind of the whole joke.

What? Are you saying that humans aren't allowed to be outraged at something if they haven't been outraged at worse things before? Have you met humans yet? People are inconsistent, flaky, capricious, etc.
Are humans not allowed to be mad over Trump's tax returns if they haven't been equally mad at every injustice committed during their lifetime? I don't follow your logic.
What? There was outrage directed at the zoo. They literally had to delete their twitter.
http://www.dailywire.com/news/8569/lol-cincinnati-zoos-twitter-exploding-harambe-chase-stephens
I'm not the guy you were responding to. I can imagine that the parents give a fuck about their kid and are still shitty parents. That's not a logically difficult position to take.
To be clear, letting a kid get out of my sight in my back yard is a little different than letting him get out of my sight at a crowded zoo near a dangerous, poorly-secured enclosure surrounding a 30 foot drop and containing a dangerous animal.

Huh? Read my response. I am not making any judgment. I'm saying that it would be reasonable to make a judgment that parents who let their kid fall into a gorilla enclosure and shitty parents. I didn't make such a judgment, however.
Actually, I don't know their race. I don't really care about the story; I'm mainly just responding to your frothing-at-the-mouth nonsense.
I'm not a moron; don't call me that.
The fact that accidents happen doesn't mean that this is an excusable accident. People leave kids in a hot car and they die. That's an accident. It doesn't mean that it's forgiveable.
To be crystal clear, no one is bringing race into our discussion but you.
Don't tell me about parenting, bucko. You need to have different levels of awareness in different situations. A crowded zoo near dangerous animals is one of those situations where you need to keep a bit closer eye on things.

Think you're the sheltered one mate. Harambe the Meme is the result of multiple short-term outrage-a-thons about various different animals being shot and the resulting witchhunts. The outrage was mocked before, but it really came to fruition as a meme after the Harambe incident. The typical overblown response is exactly what the Harambe meme is satirising. The meme almost died too, until the zoo came out to ask people to stop, which gave it a new prolonged life. You are exactly the kind of person this meme is aimed at. Because you both agree that the outrage is overblown, and don't understand the satire. Hence you breath new life into it every time you respond like this. Dicks out.

Bugs? Lol, I don't have any problems with my phone. There are always bugs, especially on a major update like iOS 10.
As for vulnerabilities, these are rarely targeted on iOS, especially for a version that's on like 10% of iPhones now.
I'm not updating my phone for a security patch if it's gonna make my music app text 5x as large unnecessarily and divide my quick controls into 2 screens, as well as remove the option that was up to users for 5 years, to sort notifications by app instead of by the order they came in.
I'll update as soon as basic control over your text size returns to iOS, and a logical grouping of notifications comes back as an option.

The US election system is working exactly as it's written, which means it's not broken. It works in a way that prevents what's known as a tyranny of the majority, because pure democracies throughout history have a tendency to implode in on themselves.

The "nation as a whole" is essentially a collective contract by the federated states within it to receive collective protection and a centralized mediator in their disputes. That's why "the United States" was treated as a plural noun, with phrases such as "The United States are" or "The United States were" for such a long time after the country's founding.

My father was a die-hard fan of the electoral colleges because he thought that by promoting a two-party system it prevents against extremism. After this election, he changed his mind.
If it weren't for the checks and balances of the US system (which are to some degree working like they should except for the whole Garland thing), this latest election might very well have been an event of democracy imploding in on itself. I'm still going to hate the results, as the Republicans may get control of all three branches, but the three branches are at least going to prevent it from all being a cult of personality around Trump.
If it weren't for the other two branches, I'd venture to call the results of the election a triumph of tyranny of the minority, which is even worse than tyranny of the majority in some sense.
RMS_Gigantic · 1 points · Posted at 12:26:29 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
Your father was wrong in that political parties are the reason FOR extremist politics, not a safeguard against them.
There's a reason George Washington warned the American people against political parties. Nearly all of the Founding Fathers hated them when they started to arise, and I'm certain that if they had seen the opening for them when writing the Constitution, they would have quashed them when they had the chance.
The challenge I always give people is this: name one good thing that happened BECAUSE OF, rather than IN SPITE OF, political parties.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 00:43:52 on December 13, 2016 · (Permalink)
He didn't think that political parties were a safeguard against extremist politics; rather, he thought that in the context of political parties, having two parties rather than a multitude was a safeguard against extremism.
The Founding Fathers completely saw the opportunity for political parties while writing the Constitution. The Federalist Papers are littered with references to political parties. I wouldn't say political parties are necessarily good but they are inevitable, so it's kind of a moot point whether they're good or bad.
If you're in a democracy or a representational democracy, numbers play a big part in politics, and as such, you're going to have people coming together to form coalitions in order to get enough people to back some agenda. I'd actually posit that that's probably a good thing, as it does ensure having some compromise in order to get a large enough coalition, which is part of what makes a two-party system seem to be a bulwark against extremism: since you need to get a majority of people to agree on something, it would seem like you'd need something centrist.
The only practical alternative to political parties is to have a central authority strong enough that it can institute all policies or to have a complete lack of central authority. The first alternative, a one-party state, is totalitarian. The second alternative is basically what the founders tried out under the Articles of Confederation, which were a resounding failure.
If you're saying political parties are unmitigatedly bad, you're essentially rejecting democracy.

I hate that argument as it pretends the Presidency is the only position of authority in the government. The States already decide the House and the Senate. There is nothing wrong with letting the People decide the Presidency. Our government has a balance of powers. Letting the popular vote decide one position will not throw our country into ruin.
RMS_Gigantic · 2 points · Posted at 21:39:35 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)*
The popular vote always decided the House, and the Constitution was changed specifically so that the popular vote would decide the Senate.
Popular vote also decides virtually all state governors, legislatures, cabinets, and some state supreme court justices.
The popular vote even--under no Constitutional obligation--decides a state's electors in the Electoral College. It could just as easily been the decision of state governors or legislatures given that the Constitution only describes the number of electors per state but not how they should be chosen. Instead, every state independently chose to choose their electors via popular votes in their states to all be scheduled on the same day.
In that regard, popular votes arguably decide TOO MUCH as it stands right now. Some say that we should return the national Senate to governor appointments, since their job is specifically to represent the state, for the same reason that the electoral college gives additional weight to less populated states.
What we have right now is, barring a nation-wide Nebraska- or Maine-style system, the closest thing that we can even constitutionally have to a popular vote for President. It's important to note, however, that the US was specifically designed to not be a democracy. It's a federal republic with strong democratic traditions.
JBHUTT09 · 5 points · Posted at 21:42:51 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
The popular vote does not decide the House or Senate. Popular vote within regions does, but not the overall popular vote. And popular vote within regions is what decides the Presidency, as well. A nationwide popular vote decides absolutely nothing, so the People have no direct voice.
RMS_Gigantic · 1 points · Posted at 21:44:15 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Yes, within regions, the regions that define what a republic is on its most basic level. The United States of America is a collection of regions, known as federated states, that have agreed to share a couple of things as a collective, as the name describes. The entire design of the United States is that of a federal republic.

And I'm saying that that needs to change. It's an outdated idea that has no place in the Information era. There is no reason my vote should count less than someone else's just because of where I live.

To the contrary, the Information Age has led to a Huxleyan situation in which all of the information one could ever want is open to the public, but the general public can't be bothered to read most of it, which makes them under-informed. The Winston Churchill quote that "the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter" still holds true, and that's the entire reason for the existence of the electoral college in the first place.
The USA is designed as a republic because it prevents a tyranny of the majority. If you want pure democracy, find somewhere that is and enjoy it right up until it implodes the way Athens did.

There wouldn't be any tyranny of the majority if the Presidential election was decided by national popular vote because the House and the Senate would still not be decided by national popular vote.
RMS_Gigantic · 1 points · Posted at 23:03:46 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
The House and Senate are decided by state popular vote, when originally only one of the two were chosen by state popular vote. What we have now are two state-level popularity contests, and one weighted system, with certain people campaigning to turn them into three popularity contests and one national popularity contest.
hoadlck · 2 points · Posted at 19:13:25 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
It is broken because we somehow elected Trump to be President. But, I fear that even if we got away from the electoral college, he still would have won. Trump's team would have adjusted, and too many voters just did not care enough.
More than the electoral college, I think that the two party system and the primaries are what makes the system the most broken.

Well, you're right. If nobody in America isn't great, then America will be a nation of only great people. I hope for your sake you're not a pleb, aka someone who can't pay out of pocket for healthcare or tuition. Maybe you know someone with a disability? Too bad for them, huh? But America would be great without their burden.
I apologize for the sarcasm, but I do not buy into your definition of a great country. Every nation will have disadvantaged people or requirements for success that are beyond the means of certain people. You can't make these people go extinct. A great country affords it's people a wealth of opportunity, not challenge. The government shields its people from crime, foreign enemies, and natural disaster, why not poverty, ignorance, and poor health?

He said it started with a dead gorilla (harambe) and ended with a dead Guerilla (Castro). Castro died in November so it didn't end with his death.
I'd say a plane crash killing the Brazilian football team was some weird shit after Castro's death.

There was a writingprompt a few months ago where the phrase "God save the queen" was secretly a magical phrase that kept the queen alive as long as enough people said it. There were some great responses about her freaking out that less people were saying it.

Yes, and the trend will accelerate. There's just way more famous people than there ever have been in the past, we're seeing the first crop of people who became famous during mass media expansion starting to die off.
So all the people who were celebrities in the 50s/60s/70s will die, and there are an order of magnitude more people who became famous in the 80s/90s/00s.

He likely exits our physical dimensions sometime in the current year or near future. His re-entry would drop him in late 1980s, where he would go into hiding to minimize his butterfly effect. Once our original time axis and the one that diverged on his re-entry gravitate into one another (evidenced by the retroactive change if the Berenstain Bears, for one thing), he would be free to meddle with our world using knowledge of the future starting in the late 2000s.

Yeah, needs more felicity /s
On a serious note, if you had a guy from the future tell you that you'll marry someone, then you come in contact with a parallel universe where the two of you are happily married, I'd think that even if the two of you are like siblings (but aren't blood related) you would think "hey maybe the multiverse is trying to tell us something"
I know I would be curious as shit to see if that relationship would work out.

Sibling bonds are usually made between the early years of childhood. He was like 8 or something when he started living with them. By then you won't see yourself as part of the family but more just a welcomed guest. From a psychological stand point it's pretty believeable. It's more the social stigma that comes with your step/adopted siblings.
Irishwolf93 · 16 points · Posted at 19:47:49 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
IIRC there's an age where you develop an aversion to the people you grow up with. Once you hit 10 years old you have passed that age. I'm not saying it's not weird, but it's not impossible. She's attractive. Have you never seen or heard stories of step siblings getting together in their teenage years? Or consider that step sister is one of the most popular searchs on pornhub in 2015 and its not as weird as you might immediately assume.
That being said, maybe psychology works differently on that earth. And if that's your biggest disconnect between reality and that TV show, then I'd say they did a damn fine job suspending your disbelief.

Yes! Where did she go? I was so hopeful she would get her own spinoff or something. She was too smart for Barry and asked too many logical questions anyway.

She went off to college to get the degree necessary to become a CSI. A far away college presumably. It must take Barry 5-6 minutes to run there.

I won't say it disgusts me, since I'm pretty sure Joe never legally adopted him. But it is weird when Joe goes from calling Barry his son to basically telling him to get with Iris.
And then there was the whole thing where Iris was like "you have to be comfortable hooking up with me in front of my dad."

My best bet is that Iris's attraction to Barry triggered some fetishes and she actually gets turned on by making out in front of Joe.

I would actually suggest this is different than Murphy's Law, which dictates that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. I'm suggesting that anything that can get dumber will get dumber. The dumb future can be both good and bad, but only insofar as either are dumb.
For example, consider a nice vacation to the beach that you have planned. Murphy's Law would dictate that your travel will be delayed, the beach will be rainy, the hotel will have bedbugs, and you'll get stung by a jellyfish. I would counter that most of those things are far too reasonable. Instead, in this timeline the travel will take you to the mountains instead of the beach, the mountains will have a wildfire and an avalanche at the same time, the resulting disaster will permit you free lodging, and you'll actually have a nice time if you just give up.

I don't like either candidate but the republican economic policy is a big draw every election. Some people just want less government involvement in their money. Also it would help that he doesn't want to go to war with a nuclear powerhouse. People like to think that Trump was elected by stupid people but there are valid reasons why he would be more preferable to someone's wellbeing than a Democrat.
sicueft · 1 points · Posted at 21:05:39 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)*
If you pay attention to the last 15 years, the United States had developed a unilateralist, interventionist foreign policy that says they could use military force to overthrow sovereign countries and install pro-American governments. This happened in Iraq, Venezuela, Libya, Syria, Honduras, Somalia, (most likely also Egypt and Ukraine) and is probably ongoing for many more countries (Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Cuba, Philippines). After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, many Neo-Reaganite (now called neoconservatives) saw this as an opportunity to increase American influence and power in the world and they got their chance in 2000.
This would call for an increase in the military budget, CIA covert ops destabilizing other countries, an emphasis on drone warfare (high availability, fast dispatch, bypass congress through commander in chief authorization), subterfuge to maintain their public image, and economic dishonesty to prevent a new rival from appearing in the world stage, that is, Russia or China. There's a reason why they still list China as a "developing country" (though China uses it to ward off responsibility) and why the US has military bases surrounding both those countries.
So, what does this all mean? The US has no interest in working with the other nations not aligned with it and any expression of international cooperation is veiled with hostility. So, don't be surprised by Russian or Chinese "aggression". Clinton was the worse choice in terms of foreign policy because as Secretary of State, she may have done what she thought was right for the United States but it clearly was not and she cannot take back the decisions she'd made nor amend those relationships. At least Trump represented a shift in ideology.
Domestically, it doesn't even matter what they say between Trump or Clinton. It's controlled by congress, and by proxy, is run by corporations and special interests.

ha I've been saying this to my missus for weeks. It's the only rational explanation.
"Multiple universes mean anything is possible. There's a great universe where pot is legal, then there's a really retarded universe where, say, Donald Trump is President, and then there's a backwards-ass wacko universe where both of those things happen at the same time"
"hahaha that's fucking crazy man. Universe weird as shit."

Yes!! I mean, say what you want about Justin Bieber (guy seems like a complete douche), the kid could (can) sing. The Internet changed his life and gained him recognition for his talent. Think of how many people there are out there who don't even have the time or opportunity to even discover they're amazing at something, as well as the people who know but don't have anywhere to show it.
The Internet is hands down the most transformative technology we've ever created as a collective. There are many, many standouts in history, but I don't think anything has the capacity to transform our societies and cultures the way the Internet has and will. It's like the Industrial Revolution on steroids, and we're only in its infancy.

There are lots of things that go into a good work of fiction.
A fictional world can be crazy but it needs to be internally consistent. You can't just give Gandalf a gun.
Information needs to build up to something. In fiction a simple cough is huge. That news report is important for the main character. That gun on the wall will be used.
Information needs to be built up from something. If there's a plot twist it needs to have been foreshadowed. If someone fires a gun it needs to be shown that the person had access to a gun. Nobody likes deus ex machina.
Works of fiction have order to them. If that order is broken it's not a work of fiction that people will enjoy.
Real life is downright chaotic by comparison.

They already were. Which country is there that is so focused on everyone being able to make their own life earning lots of cash and being free while at the same time, for most people, this doesn't remotely hold true? This is already reality TV set up for failure. Of course the social justice is fumbling to somehow solve anything but keeps enacting fights among themselves. This is already largely reality TV to many europeans. A rich country that is still getting so much at their own throats now.

We're slowly following the American example it seems. I love when German politicans say "don't fall into anti americanism, theyre our best friends!"
But that whole anti-establishment isn't really what we're feeling in Germany at all. The "autonomous left" are insulted away for a big German "family", which is very right-wing but doesn't have much to do with anti-establishment.

Ya know, if trump getting elected seems out of reality to you, maybe it's you who doesn't have a firm grasp on reality. Not calling you out specifically, I feel that much of the left created a situation where they were in a bubble, unaware of what was going on with the election and many still don't't get what happened.
The same goes for Brexit and the labor party.
They are all connected.
A ton of celebs died though. That was odd.
slorpydiggs · 13 points · Posted at 21:27:28 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
It's an oversimplification to be sure, so you're not wrong there. I wasn't going for in-depth analysis.
But the implication isn't that his getting elected was outside of reality, (in fact I didn't find it too surprising)… rather it refers to voters' unrealistic expectations and the abandonment of science, economics, logic… (e.g. global warming doesn't exist, manufacturing jobs are about to boom, massive tax cuts for the top 0.1% are good for the middle class, Mexico's going to pay for the wall… that is what is meant by abandoning reality)
RexFox · -1 points · Posted at 01:08:19 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
I feel like you're unknowingly simplifying again.
The "silent majority" who got trump into office is less sympathetic to Keynesian economics, and more to Austrian, although they probably only know of Friedman.
As for the wall, yeah idk how that's supposed to happen, but everyone's off reality on some things.

Jesus he didn't even win the silent majority. I mean yes he won the electoral college but let's not act like most people voted for him, they didn't by 2,600,000 votes.

Ironicdancer · 2 points · Posted at 15:58:37 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
Sure but it's no majority especially when you break it down to the actual electorate that voted; he was elected by slightly more than 25% of eligible voters. It's not only the facts it's perspective.
RexFox · 1 points · Posted at 16:29:39 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
Yes however this brings up the question of why do we not have a direct democracy? There are incredibly good reasons and the founding fathers spoke about them and did everything they could to make the US a Democratic republic and not a direct democracy
Ironicdancer · 2 points · Posted at 16:56:25 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
There are various pros and cons to either really. There is some suggestion slavery helped inform the opinion of the founders as to why it was a better system. If we get rid of it, urban areas will decide the elections hands down, if we leave it in place rural votes are over valued and a few swing states decide. Neither is really fully ideal, fortunately the popular vote and electoral college mostly align. It is disconcerting however that 2 out of the (4?) times it hasn't have been in the last 16 years. I hope it isn't a harbinger of more to come because it will be disruptive to our country.

Which was obviously paid for by the Clinton campaign because it appeared a couple of weeks before the election, was submitted anonymously and withdrawn, despite the anonymous person receiving death threats. From who? In addition it was purported to happen at Jeffrey Epstein's insane parties at his New York flat and Trump is known to not partake in any mind altering substances and completely and immediately severed ties with the sicko when he got caught.
You know you need absolutely no evidence or anything to start a civil suit? And when it comes to rape it's the sort of thing that should be a CRIMINAL suit, with a plausible story to boot. I could start an anonymous civil case right tomorrow saying you raped me at one of Epstein's parties and nobody could do anything about it until the court threw the bullshit case out.

You know I've been thinking about the growing "absurdism" in popular culture. Earlier people used to believe in Gods, spirituality, and such. But, as time moves forward we're being disenchanted by almost all major belief systems. It's like all of a sudden a significant portion of the population went all nihilist and started indulging in anything. Like we realized that life is inherently useless and existence is nothing more than a cosmic accident, so we're just gonna do whatever we feel like, that's sometimes good sometimes bad.

I think you can thank WWII for a lot of that. I also think that you're overestimating how many people are disenfranchised and gave up on their religion. I'd say an overwhelming majority of humans still believe in gods, spirituality, etc.

We don't worship a gorilla to cope for anything. We worship him because he sacrificed himself to purify mankind, you animal. We remember him because the hit was an inside job; he had clinton's emails and was going to release them. We love him because he was murdered while trying to give a small child a memory to last the rest of his life.

I wasn't sure exactly, but our conversation got me curious so I did some reading. He stopped twelve years ago, in 2004. The cool thing is, I know that lungs do have some regenerative capacity. Anyway, I read an interview where he said that he tried not to smoke around Iman and that he wanted to get serious about quitting when they started getting serious about having children. Here's a link to the article:

Isn't there some basis for concerns about phones in pockets and laptops on laps? Something about fertility? I think the laptop thing was strictly from heat?

Memetic has to do with memory or mentality. It's just another word for 'magic' over there. That's an easy excuse.
Got a coffin that kills you if you look through camera feeds? How does it do it? Why it's memetic of course, next SCP.
Why couldn't it be something more bizarre? Like it causes internal hemorrhaging because of the screen display. The coffin creates such complicated images on the screen that the display can't handle it, causing it to produce high pitched squeals from the circuitry.
Those squeals vibrate through your bloodstream and cause arteries to burst.
haldir2012 · 8 points · Posted at 21:27:28 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
They don't do that because then the containment procedure is easy - if it makes LCD screens cause hemorrhaging, dig out a CRT.
The value of a "memetic" effect is that it's conveyed by the meaning of the picture/concept/words/etc rather than the means of transmission. So containment is actually hard, because it's not just a question of changing the font size.
That said, I agree it's a well they use too often.

Item #: SCP-2016-J
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Prodecures - At the end of the year, aerosolized amnestic agents are to be dispursed by Team 415 (Codename: "Chemtrails") throughout the global atmosphere. The global population will have their memories reconstructed through the use of subliminal memory bridging software (Codename: "Make-it-stop").
SCP-2016-1, henceforth referred to as "'President' Donald Trump" is to be kept at SCP Blacksite 3 in a 10x10x5m cell. He is to be provided with clothing, food and water, and, pending good behaviour, access to a dummy audience of trained SCP agents disguised as a cross-section of his consitituents trained in the arts of gag reflex suppression to which Trump may preach to for a period of time that is not to exceed thirty (30) minutes per day. He is, under no circumstances, to be allowed access to internet social media of ANY kind.
SCP-2016-2, henceforth referred to as "Death" is to be given a firm slap in the face and told to knock it the fuck off.
Description - SCP-2016 is a period of 365.25 days between the years 2015ad and 2017ad whereupon everything sucked for no discernable reason. The most perversely unlucky, unfortunate, and just plain awful things occured in consecutive fashion with no apparent cause. This period of time was unlucky enough to baffle experts in Murphy's Law. Childrens book author Lemony Snickett is being questioned regarding his probable involvement in orchestrating this catastrophic chain of events.

110-Montauk is one of the more extreme examples, but seriously, whatever they write isn't going to be as extreme or awful as anything you will imagine, simply because writing down the graphic torture involved in that procedure will just make it seem silly and ridiculous.

I also hate that the author says that 110-Montauk is "whatever you think it is" and says stuff like "my writing isn't doing anything to those girls, you are."
I'm of the opinion that if you redact stuff, you need to have a definite idea of what it is, don't just leave it open to interpretation. Even if you never tell anybody, it just makes for better writing.

that's kind of the opposite point of redacting information anyway surely? I mean, there's no details there, you may as well publish nothing. The things you wanna redact is shit that makes the events verifiable, which basically means you just wanna leave out dates times and names of places, people, or other specific entities. Why would you ever publish information if you're redacting the parts that make it noteworthy whatsoever?

It isn't as rare as you think. Having been in the community for albeit a few months, usually the scips (SCPs) that succeed more are the ones that use redactions sparingly. A good way to use them, from what I've seen, is to add a fear of the unknown by blocking specific details to get the reader to think what is happening is scarier than it really is. It is also used to either add a sense of mystery or when the author is too lazy to write something complicated. Redactions were used a lot more in the early days of the SCP Wiki, but are being used less and less now. Those old scips that use redactions a lot (such as SCP-579 ) are fairly controversial in the community. There are also quite a few good scips posted weekly, with most of the bad ones getting deleted.

Horror is really subjetive, and is one of those things were adding/extracting something a little more than you should ruins it.
It's not the same reading:
"Traces of [Redacted] were found inside on the victim's body"
than:
"Traces of blood, mucus, [redacted] and animal organs were found inside the victim's body"
and then probably:
"Traces of blood, mucus, [Redacted] ,[Redacted] , 5 Kgs of [Redacted] , a big [Redacted] and its 7 children were found inside the victim's body."
There's always a balance, and in horror it's kind of hard to get it right most of times.

I tend to agree with your original contention, that the worst usages try to handwave it as an instruction to the reader to just "{Imagine Something Scary Here}" because the author couldn't come up with anything, or because they didn't trust their instincts about what they did come up with. The writer guidelines say that if you expunge or redact something then you, the writer, should at least know in your head what's actually being removed, but obviously not everyone will do that.
In the other case though, it strikes me as insecurity sometimes when something is removed, or like the writer was trying to please all of the people all of the time. The best SCPs that use this ambiguity, in my opinion, at least frame the horror in some kind of narrow context. They make it clear that the tone of an entry is a certain type of horror and then leave the specifics up to you, or, like SCP-231, they leave Procedure 110-Montauk up to your imagination, but it's pretty clear who it's being done to, under what conditions, and that it's horrible.
If I have to do all the work imagining the scary stuff, I have to ask myself why I'm reading that person's SCP and not just writing my own.

It really depends on how it is used. The unknown is typically scarier than the known, but if you overuse the unknown horror card it stops being scary and ends up taking away from the intended horror. The example /u/IGiveTrustIssues provides is how not to use redactions effectively, with them being used repeatedly instead of sparsely and as a result not being scary. If you constantly use it you take away from that fear and it ends up looking like the author got really lazy.
Of course, like many things horror is subjective. For some body horror is the scariest thing, and for others Lovecraftian horror is the scariest. So it basically varies on how it is used and your personal horror tastes.

Best explanation I've come across:
[redacted] and [data expunged], in the context of the lore, is when the super higher ups (05s) remove something completely. They should only be used when even other 05s shouldn't see what is going on. The black boxes are used when information is known, but the average reader shouldn't know. Ex: names, addresses.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 00:24:56 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
They were both commenting on the specific application of expunging data as a tool to make the reader imagine the scary stuff, though, with opposite opinions on whether that's good writing or not. I thought it'd be interesting to get their opinions on why they feel that way.

So true everyone on this site just bitches and moans. America is so fucking great, did you wake up to a cluster bomb? You have clean water? No, most likely you didn't. A lot of people can't say the same thing. Did Obama put that sandwich on your plate? No you did that. Did he call every night before bed? Nope. Your life will be ok, you've created your own opportunity to get you this far. You'll all be ok now stop fucking bitching about things you can't change and try and work together.

Ha. Obama didn't do anything, but Trump is going to mess up things for a lot of people. I hope and pray that he helps everyone. But his picks for his White House looks grim. Trumps policies look like they were very bad of America as a whole. The environment might take huge hit because Trump doesn't believe Climate change is a thing. Also I see that insurance is too high, doesn't protect me, then goes up when something does happen. House, Health, Car all of them are a joke, because even though I have "full coverage" somethings that happened to me weren't covered, and rates went up. I see Oligopolies everywhere meaning that things are out of my price range because there is so many laws by lobbyist and Corporations that they don't truly compete. I may be ok for the time being, but millions of people around the world will die because of the pollution, of their air, their water and taking their resources. I may be ok with my job, but millions of cities are becoming ghost towns because jobs were taken by cheap labor, and automated. Should those people be working in a factory? Maybe, maybe not, I know that if you are too poor to go to college, you will more then likely struggle. Too many places want a 4 year degree for entry level work that doesn't really need the degree. So yes you are right, I will be fine, but my health, home, car, and world could all be lost because the rich are hurting me and our world with their power of corruption. Which Trump is further pushing forward and lied to the American people who did vote for him.

Oh I agree, people just like to blame Obama for everything. Many of my Rust belt friends will complain all day about how Obama hurt them. When really Obama didn't do much because he didn't have the House or Senate. I never said you voted for him, I am just expressing my concerned about Trump, and his policies. Also shutting up about Trump will just give his supports a louder voice. Trump spreads lies, we might as well try to tell the Truths of his horrible nature. I agree though complaining will do almost nothing in the over all view of the world. But informing people can't hurt.
Oh and saying that complaining on the internet won't do anything isn't 100% true. My Facebook was full of false information that people believe and vote that way. Reddit might have little effect but Facebook helps spread lies about everything. 1 like = 1 pray!!1!!1! remember those?

Secure. Contain. Protect.
It's a
collaborative creative writing communitytotally true stories of various supernatural anomalies and the Foundation that is charged with keeping them from destroying the planet/universe.Every object is given a reference number and is usually referred to as SCP-XXX. So SCP-173 refers to the story that inspired the whole thing: a Weeping Angel type thing that will murder you the instant no one is looking at it (the time it takes to blink is all it needs).
SCP entries range from super fucking creepy anomalies (an infinite staircase descending into darkness inhabited by a crying/screaming girl) to amusing quirks of nature (a community of sentient communist spiders) to objects/creatures that want to, and are capable of, destroying humanity (at least 500 different entries at this point).

I don't know, but it's probably not a good sign for the EU if a euroskeptical French president is elected. With UK out, there are effectively two sources of economic power left in the EU: France and Germany. If France falls, that's the game.

You're probably thinking of AfD (Alternative for Germany), a group with similar views in Germany. Le Pen's probably not going to win (although given 2016 I don't think we can make any predictions) due to the fact that the socialists and conservatives will unite to oppose her, but it'll be a lot closer than liberal-minded people would like.

The swatstica if I heard right was a symbol of peace or something like that. But because of its use by a "hate group" it has become something completely different. Tradition says that Paul requested upside down crucifixion as to avoid resembling the death of Christ, so the upside down cross became a powerful Christian symbol. Now it's associated with satanism, the occult, and in general is a middle finger to Christianity.
Same thing I guess with pepe, but a little less... Dramatic.
Singood · -2 points · Posted at 17:46:57 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
The Swastika was used as the symbol of an indomitable military force which carried out the deaths of millions. It is reasonable that it would become distasteful.
Pepe was used by the 'alt-right' in apparently racist memes which I have never seen nor heard or, nor met anyone who has. The only examples of these apparently racist memes that I have seen were supplied by liberal journalists as an example.
Is it on someone's private Facebook page or something they're getting these from? Where is this hivemind of Pepe-induced racism?

Hilary was generalizing a very real trend for white supremacists and the alt-right to co-opt Pepe. It didn't start out as a racist meme, but symbols change from their use. I would place the blame on internet communities like /pol/, don't shoot the messenger.

In the future, kids will be taught in phrases called "booms" because teachers (well, videos of people passing on information) will always say boom at the end.
"Pluto used to be a planet but its not anymore. BOOM, science."
"And then, on August 9th, America shut the emperor's bitch ass down for good. BOOM, history."
"And the pedestal was all like 'Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!' BOOM, English."

You won't, though. The only positive for liberals over the next four years will be watching as Trump betrays you over and over. At first, you'll try to rationalize it, or write it off as media bias. But as time goes on and it becomes clear you got conned and the swamp is as swampy as ever, we'll start to see the infighting and anger. This is already happening and he isn't even president yet. Once he and his crew of insiders and lobbyists take power, you'll see why it was really dumb to elect a billionaire New York elite to overthrow a system he's benefitted from his entire life just because he "says it like it is" (IE tells you what you want to hear).
Four years from now, all of us (except the super rich) will be worse off, and you'll be desperately trying to convince yourself that it's all Obama's fault. But you won't believe it, not really, because you'll know that Trump and the GOP had four years of total control. When they fail, there will be no excuse.
And they WILL fail to help you, because that was never their actual goal. (Unless you're an oil exec, in which case you'll have fun.)

So why do you think Hilary Clinton would be better? (Not being rude, legitimately curious.)
landoindisguise · 2 points · Posted at 23:49:03 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Personally, I don't think Clinton would have been great either. It would have been four more years of the same. However, she DOES at least recognize that climate change is a real thing. That's why I voted for her. Even just maintaining the status quo for four years would be bad (which is what she'd prob do), but it's still way better than what Trump seems to be aiming to do (setting us way, way back in a way that might well be impossible to recover from).
That ties into lots of other issues too. For example: green energy is the future. It just is. Obviously the tech needs more development, but sunlight is fucking everywhere and is free, whereas oil has to be found and dug out of deep-ass holes in the ground by giant expensive machines, trucked around, processed, etc. etc. It doesn't take a genius to see that once these green technologies like solar are more developed, they're going to be way, way cheaper and more efficient than fossil fuels. So, who's going to develop that technology? Well, the US has dominated the past 50 years or so by being the primary driving force behind tech development. But China is already massively outspending us on green tech. Trump is going to make that gap much wider, and they already have a big head start. So it seems increasingly likely that the technology for green energy, which is going to be essential to every country this century, will rest mostly in the hands of the Chinese. That's a pretty huge strategic advantage we're apparently just cool handing over to a major rival. Not to mention the millions of jobs that industry will create in China that it could be creating here instead.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 00:04:30 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
Fair point. I personally feel Trump's selling point was border control & lower taxes. I do agree with you though, regardless of stance on climate change you shouldn't just hand any technological lead over.
landoindisguise · 1 points · Posted at 00:10:24 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)*
This is why I don't understand the opposition to climate change.
Like, even if it WAS all a big hoax (which it isn't), what's the worst case scenario? Oh no, we cleaned up our air and water and put our country at the forefront of technological development in a hugely important global industry, positioning ourselves for future economic growth? That doesn't seem like that big a disaster to me. And yeah, it means some fossil fuel folks will lose their jobs, but there will be new jobs in the green energy sector. In my state, that's been the industry with one of the fastests rates of job growth even though we have a governor who fucking hates it for some reason and has killed a lot of benefits/subsidies the industry has in other states.
And like I said, this fossil fuels to green energy transition is going to happen anyway. 50 years from now (probably less) there aren't going to be many/any coal miners regardless of what government policy is. So the real question is just: do we want to be a global leader on this, retain as much control over the tech as we can, and adapt faster, or do we want to wait around and let China do all that, let China get all those new jobs, and then hope they sell us their cool new tech relatively cheap?
Like, there's literally no downside to doing something about climate change. Even if it's a hoax (which again, it clearly is not), we still win.

I mean, even Fox News disliked him. Can you tell me some of Clinton's positive work experience that you think make her qualified? (things unlike Benghazi, lying about sniper fire in Bosnia)
IllegitimateX · 1 points · Posted at 18:06:02 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)*
People may have thought he was a brick through the establishment window, but he was more like a supply drop disguised as a brick. Look at his cabinet and tell me you think he's still anti-establishment. He appointed Scott Pruitt, a global-warming skeptic who opposes clean air/clean water and is a literal puppet for big oil, as HEAD OF THE EPA. And honestly, Hillary is a shitty politician, but ANY political experience is better than none when it comes to being president. At least Hillary wouldn't get in a Twitter war every time someone said something remotely critical; there's something called diplomacy that every politician should have, yet Trump lacks it more than anyone I've ever seen.

I was just on a tour of the Johnson Space Center and there was one bit the tour guide was saying the building to our right is where NASA is creating all their new spicy memes. Took me like 10 minutes to realize he said meals. I prefer to believe the former though.
However the the guide did look like 17, I wouldn't put it past him to have actually said memes and if someone questions him he'd say he said meals.

The term "meme" existed before the way that we know them now. A "meme" is a "cultural unit". It's somethng that spreads a cultural idea or thing.
So the "memes" we know, pictures with text; are literally memes in the sense that we know thm, and the literal definition as well.

Um... it's not a "perk". It's a quid pro quo.
European countries will grant visa-free travel with the UK and in turn the UK will grant visa-free travel to those countries.
Nobody is really expecting this to change.
We had visa-free travel with European countries before the EU.

I didn't either, but I looked it up. I called it the Sitcom Universe. Basically, we're living in an advanced simulation that was forked from reality in late 2015. Now you and I are sitcom characters for future people.
(The Berenstain Bears thing is that it's actually spelled like that, but everyone everywhere thinks it's spelled Berenstein. This is evidence that we somehow awitched timelines and are now living in the off-brand Berenstain universe.)

But you can't honestly believe they do it out of humanity? There are much worse dictators in Africa but they stay because either the US likes them (if they didn't help them getting there in the first place) or because they have no resources and nobody gives any fuck.
The only reason the US cares about Syria is its strategic location, not Assad.

I said, "they do have a similar effect on German society whatever the reason for their presence," and I stand by it. Enough with the emotionalism; I understand that some of them did come from a war-torn region, and that guerilla wars are horrors to live through. However, I think that a lot of the reason for all of the bloodshed is their ideology, which unfortunately they bring with them into Germany. I would support establishing safe zones in Syria to genuine asylum seekers, but I do not support allowing more than a negligible number to immigrate. It should be clear by now that they are not culturally compatible with Western Europe, even to those too blinded by liberal ideology to understand that at the outset. It is equally clear that the entire European project will be consumed by populism and fascism if these country do not reverse course now, so there is no real option to simply carry on. If you value the liberal project of free movement within the EU, it is necessary to sacrifice the much lesser liberal project of resettling the Middle East and North Africa in Europe.
What makes me angry is that this result was completely predictable from the moment Merkel welcomed the migrants in the summer of 2015 and silenced debate with accusations of racism, but she did it anyway. If you were upset about Brexit, or the election of Trump, then you should be equally upset with Merkel for literally ruining the modern international order with her recklessness. It was an unforced error and its consequences will reshape the course of human history in an illiberal direction.

Airplane crashs are not that infrequent. Is a football club worse than random other people?
workingnights · 7 points · Posted at 17:05:56 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)*
Yes. Edit because it deserves it. Random people represent random families. So their is a multiplier of maybe 12 to 20 for each person who suffers grief instead of just sympathy. In football the players represent the city. To the hundreds of thousands in that city those players are family so the whole city goes through grief. As an example when a Stoke fan dies (my team) we normally applaud for a minute when the match time is the same as their age. we care about the fans, a player dying would be much worse.

I'm not usually political on this sub (especially considering how people are quick-like to pounce on anything that sounds like it's being said from the unpopular side), but I do think this Brexit fear is getting a little out of hand.
Sure, things have gone a little fuckup, but they always will after such a huge opinion poll (and it was an opinion poll). On the ground level, the worst thing to come out of this is Cameron going back on his word and stepping down (which I won't blame him for), and May coming in. While she's a strong sort, she's also someone whose statements I've thoroughly disagreed with in the past, and continue to.
The things she is doing sound a bit harsh, but it's not like they wouldn't happen anyway. She's just being quicker about them.
I'm still more worried about trade deals and the like cropping back up again.
Brexit's being talked about as if it's the worst thing since the dinosaurs died a bit too much. Every time I'm on the phone with someone I knew back in the States, they keep jeering about how we fucked up.
I mean... if anything. Look at home.
(Not that I ever thought Trump wasn't going to win. He was outrageously boneheaded enough while up against Clinton, and spoke to what I call the "disenfranchised majority" to not be a strong candidate. Still... wtf, USA? How did things get to this?)

My point is more that it looks more like the author is trying to minimize the emphasis on death. He groups a lot of deaths in to a single phrase, and includes a bunch of things that are of very different levels of significance that aren't death related.

He didn't say Brexit Fear. He said Brexit. Like it or not, that's one of the major talking points this year. Even now. I was at a gig the other day and overhead a conversation with the band saying "so are you guys going to have to get visa's to tour now?" - Brexit is a big part of every industry and everyone's life here. Don't downplay it just because you don't care as much.

I don't think the reason it needed a mention was because it was a bad thing, the reason it needed a mention is because of how absurd the entire thing appears to be. Similarly to Trump being elected, like him or not it was still a shock to see him beat Hillary the same way it was a shock for Brexit to win the referendum.

One thing brexit has managed is showing that /r/ukpolitics is less biased than /r/unitedkingdom. The unitedkingdom subreddit has become unbearable with the amount of comments hating on voting demographics.

The internet definitely polarises the "sides". Basically left = whinging tumbrinas and right = frothing at the mouth privileged breitbart readers. Both of these demographics exist but are definitely minorities in the fringes. It's very annoying and I think has put people off things like feminism.

I went there once during the election to try to see why people thought he was so great (I've voted the other way my entire life) and then saw all the _ist comments: race, religion, gender, etc... and just sort of cracked, especially as there was no sub that I could find in support of Clinton as much.

I can't stand that viewpoint, that people who are old should have less sway or are selfish for not thinking of the younger generations. Yes, they won't be around the next 50 years, but there vote matters just as much now as it did when THEY were the young generations voting against their "old people".
It also works backwards, they've been alive for decades longer than you, if anything they have more practical knowledge of how the world works than someone who just turned 18 and doesn't understand that politicians don't have to keep promises.

The mention of Brexit is because it's among things people never expected to happen.
Infobomb · 2 points · Posted at 21:45:54 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
It will likely affect the country's economy, and its standing in the world, for a generation. It's a far bigger deal than, say, a general election, because if it's carried through it will constrain what future governments can do. The people were given a binary choice, told by very nearly every expert that one of the choices would make them a lot poorer, and they took that choice, for benefits that were either outright lies or totally nebulous.
What's most worrying about Brexit is what it has in common with the rise of Trump: the post-truth movement and general hostility to scientists and other experts.

You know all those memes about Britain doing Brexit then the USA saying "Hold my beer"?
They were true. Brexit was phenomenally stupid, but Trump blasted through the wreckage and kept going.
I asked a friend about Brexit(she is an academic who studied the legal systems of the EU), and her take on it was that Brexit was a threat to the continued success of the biggest political experiment of all time. And if you think about it, that's huge. That's something that affects multiple countries, millions of people, and world economies.
On a more UK-centric level, it also affects the regular people of Britain: the immigrants who call Britain home now, the Scots who voted 'No' on the Indy Ref on the basis of EU membership and got screwed by the English, the youth who voted to retain the benefits of the Union and lost out to the older generations who feared change.
The upside for Britain is that the EU is accomodating these people by offering citizenship, but it doesn't change the fact that a nation which invaded the world is suddenly upset at the world coming to see what's so special in England.
TheNorfolk · 4 points · Posted at 17:50:23 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
The issue is that both sides that won had support of nationalistic bordering on racial support. This can be attributed to issues of wealth; real wages in the UK have dropped by 10% between 2007 and 2015 and it seems a similar trend has been seen in the US over the last few decades. In response people become more selfish and don't want to share the wealth so to speak because there is no wealth to share. They favour tighter restrictions on immigration and other suspected free riders.
This restriction on immigration eventually cuts the supply of talented people emigrating to the country which starves the economy of vital skills. Depending on the severity of the immigration restrictions this can have a major impact on the economy on the timescale of decades. This then further popularises tighter immigration and the cycle continues.
This leads to economic stagnation or recession while China and other developing nations close the gap and eventually get on terms with the US and EU's economic prowess. Two or more powers competing in such a way invariably leads to war, as was the case in WWII and the cold war. That's not to say war is coming soon, it will probably end up taking the best part of the century, but it's almost inevitable that some form of conflict will arise given enough time.
2016 will likely go down in history as the first albeit minor step towards American and possibly European decline. European decline is less certain since it's a union rather than a nation so its a bit of a wild card.

The only bad things coming out of the UK are things that would have happened anyway, because the Tories are still in power. I highly doubt David Cameron wouldn't have pushed this ridiculous nonsense about porn and censoring it, so nothing's changed. Young Britons are mad at the elderly for voting, but they're not mad at their colleagues for not voting.

In what way have things "gone a little fucked up"?
Politics went a little wild for a bit, but for me and I think most people the day-to-day impacts have been precisely nada.
The Remain campaign was coming out with absurd statements of instant economic disaster towards the end.
Instead we haven't even had a recession, and a recession is no longer forecast. Actually we've had a lot of unusually good economic news recently, with high tech companies such as Google announcing billion-pound investments in the UK.
Meanwhile in the Eurozone things are looking pretty awful again.
Dolphin_Titties · 3 points · Posted at 16:48:34 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)*
Well we haven't actually left yet, so all of our trade and immigration laws are intact. There's no reason why things would be going haywire just yet, as nobody (and I mean nobody) knows what the plan is, other than we are leaving.
Edit; additionally, EU financial for science and technology etc hasn't gone yet - (ask a scientist what they think about that), the immigrant workforce that keeps London chugging haven't been ousted, workers and union rights haven't been swept away and replaced yet.
Oh, one thing that has happened is that new privacy law that just went through the other day. You know the one, where your browsing history is kept on file for a year and no warrant is needed to search it? That was prohibited by EU privacy laws, but those done apply anymore it seems.
TerryTibbsTalkToMe · 1 points · Posted at 18:30:58 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
First of all lets address the huge contradictory issue here where you state we havent left yet so theres been no changes yet, then in the same comment claim that the new privacy law is because the EU privacy laws stopped from happening. Give yourself a second to re read that and realise how idiotic it sounds.
Secondly, no immigrants that are here legally will be "ousted" and to even suggest so is absolutely absurd. Workers and unions rights aren't going to be swept away. It was precisely this type of idiotic scare mongering absurdity that helped Brexit win! - yet the remain side continue to plaster it everywhere in some wild assumption that it will work now the vote is over, even though it already lost them the vote. Smh.

I'm not going to pretend I know exactly how science research is funded and shared throughout the EU, outside of the basics. The entirety of the 'science community' was disappointed that Brexit went ahead, so presumably all of them are foolish to think so, my sisters included. If you're telling me you know exactly a) how it works, and b) how it's going to work, then you must be very knowledgeable indeed. My understanding is that successive governments have allowed scientific funding to stagnate, but this was masked by EU money. If the money is removed and not replaced, it's game over. Essentially we all hope that our government will spend money on what we want, rather than the funding we are used to being there. Personally I don't trust the current government to do anything remotely wise, but maybe I'm wrong.
Edit: I'm not going around pretending to be an expert but perhaps I know more about it than average.

Like it has already been pointed out to you though, lack of faith or no, our government has already said they will replace the funding themselves, and the EU money was ours in the first place so it should be no different than before, except instead of paying someone else to hand the scientific community the funding, we'll be handing it to them ourselves. Its just another example of fear mongering it would seem.

Multiple things helped Brexit win, yes immigration was part of it but so were the ridiculous scare tactics used by remain. They spent more time (too much so) on scaring people into how Brexit was going to bring about the apocalypse than they did trying to garner actual support for remain. Thats where the problem lay. The Brexit camp actually spent the time to say "look, vote for an independent UK and this is what we can hopefully be free of/change" where as the remain rhetoric was "vote brexit and youre a racist and you will kickstar the second coming of Jesus." - Yes I know thats over simplified, and yes I know both sides did their fair share of lying but unfortunately the remain focus was just completely wrong.

The Remain camp were forecasting immediate damage.
That's not right though — about there being no reasons why things might go bad before the event. Investment, for example. If businesses think that Brexit is going to be a disaster, they would stop investing in the UK. But the opposite has been happening... a string of large companies have announced long-term moves to the country.

You're not wrong, both sides were doing a lot of negative forecasting. The concerns I listened to mostly were those about the medium to long-term, which is difficult to get people excited about. I don't doubt some good will come in business terms, but I think being 'good at business' is a ridiculous string to our bow anyway (and one we already had, concentrated in London, where it will remain).

Just to keep in my that in a number of states you have to be registered as a write in candidate for the vote to be tallied as anything other than a scatter, or a generic write in.

...except they do? Winning the presidency is about winning the states, winning the states requires votes. If you didn't vote, that is why your voice doesn't matter.

You can tell Google to only look for results from November 9th onwards.
thesimplemachine · 1 points · Posted at 20:19:28 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Here's a protip for Google (and most other search forms): if you're looking for something and a majority of the results are for an unrelated subject, you can use a minus sign to filter out the unrelated thing. For instance, in your case, since you don't want articles about the primaries you could phrase your search "Bernie Sanders write-in -primaries" or better yet "Bernie Sanders write-in general election -primaries"

Thanks. My husband and I were just talking last night that if it were one year ago, we would not believe what was facing us. Here's how it went for us:
January - my niece's 33 year old husband died. Also husband's best friend died. (Both not unexpected, but sad anyway.)
February - husband's younger brother has a massive heart attack and dies in his sleep. Totally unexpected. No medical history and had just passed a physical with "flying colors". I send husband to cardiologist to get a full checkup. (I work in the cardiac operating room.)
April 18- My 85 year still healthy dad who lives with us decides he doesn't like getting old. Blows his brains out in our dining room. Husband comes home from cardiologist and cleans up the mess after Dad is bagged and hauled off. After a few hours, my husband (without any medical problems) says he needs to tell me that he has been diagnosed with a large ascending aortic aneurysm and needs open heart surgery.
I get diagnosed with PTSD and freak out for 3 weeks. Husband has surgery and ALL WENT WELL! Still freaking out over my dad's suicide, but trying to move on.
Yup, 2016 sucked for us! Suppose it could have been worse.

Yep. Second was probably the win we call the first corrupt bargain where JQ Adams tied with Jackson, and then basically bribed the speaker of the house, Henry Clay, to be president. HC was name Secretary of State, thus the title corrupt bargain.
This was a surprising election, no doubt, but let's not forget US history has had a fair share of issues.
Of course the other two corrupt bargains could be equally weighed (though Ford's pardon wasn't an election, though it was still about his rise to office)

And I agree. Don't get me wrong, I know the story of the Cubs and whatnot, but it barely made the news in most countries, and even when it did, it was a "oh check out this team that won after 100-something years, so cool" kind of a thing. Pretty sure the NBA title was a more significant event world-wise, and yet I wouldn't have put it into that list.

First of all, that's not a straw man argument. At all. Second, I run a business, or more accurately a few businesses now, and I have been paying 10% the last 8 years. B-Rock kind of guilted me into contributing. But now, well that home business of mine is going to have a lot more expenses.

The funny thing is, the Mayan calendar didn't specifically say the world is going to end. It signalled a new age for the world. Judging by the fact it's only taken 4 years for the world to go to shit, I'm not convinced they were wrong.

The Mayan calendar never predicted the end of the world, it predicted the end of a "great year", which is a complete loop of the earths wobble on its axis. This apparently takes around 28,000 years and the mayans were spot on to the day.

For me, it all began last year, when Lemmy died of cancer.

Lemmy was sort of the trailer for 2016 that gave away too much of the plot.
lydsbane · 2 points · Posted at 21:01:39 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
The other day, I found out that Scott Weiland and Lemmy died about three weeks apart. I remember hearing about both of them on the day each died, but the time between their deaths seemed much longer than it actually was.

EDIT: Humbled by the number of redditors showing their decency and humanity here. To all those expressing their loss in this comment thread, my condolences to you as well. We will get through this, we have to. They still live, if only through us now.

This... Sucks.
2016 has personally been a good year for me, I had a dream holiday to the Maldives, got a new job and doubled my income, bought my first house and my first car (I held off driving until my late 20s) but none of that would matter without my family. I can't imagine losing my parents at this age, and in thankful for what I have and genuinely sorry to hear that you, a stranger, likely thousands of miles away has not been fortunate.
Other years weren't so good to me so I can only say to you to hold on, things can make sense and will get better.

Sorry to hear that man. My dad died suddenly and unexpectedly last year and I felt the same way. It was like crash landing on a planet where nothing made sense.
It won't get better, but slowly and surely you'll be able to start functioning again. Let yourself grieve and curse the world and rely on friends way more than you're comfortable with and every day the pain will get easier to bear, even though it won't get smaller or less hurtful or less overwhelming, it will get easier.
My condolences to you and your family.

And guess what? The DNC lined up behind Hillary in 2008 as well. And we all know she won because of it /s
Bernie lost because he based his entire campaign on appealing to the demographic least likely to vote, and also failed to recognize that the Democratic Party is a diverse coalition of interests and that no one single message will ever appeal to a majority of it. Not because of "rigging" - anyone who thinks so is a fucking crybaby moron.

As you can see in the NYTimes's exit polls, although you're right in that the eldery did slightly favor Trump, you can hardly say it was a deciding factor such as the lack of support for Clinton while big support from white, male and rural for Trump.

You seem to have pretty strong feelings about why "shit's fucked" is of such an immensely higher quality than "shit's fucked, yo" so I think it would be closed-minded of me to continue arguing the opposite without hearing you out.
Tell me more about the finer points of "shit's fucked" so that I might see it as something other than a lesser form of "shit's fucked, yo."
EvilCheesecake · 0 points · Posted at 19:37:06 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
we agree that "shit's fucked" is a dumb comment.
where we disagree is on if "shit's fucked, yo" is in any way an improvement.
ToBePacific · 3 points · Posted at 19:49:01 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
I don't think we agree on that. I think "shit's fucked" is an apt and succinct characterization of the year. Far from being a top comment, but I wouldn't downvote it out either.
If someone then turns it into "shit's fucked, yo" and then claims it as a necessary improvement, that strikes me as funny. The addition is so small, so inconsequential. It does not change the meaning at all, only adding onto the voice/character of the statement. An incremental improvement, but still what I'd call an improvement.

It's extremely rare that taking an existing comment and transforming it into the closest possible parrot phrase is funny. It's a highly overused technique that, most often, makes the person using it appear like they have no creativity or understanding of comedy.

General Mattis, for example, was chief of U.S. Central Command. He has a 40+ year career in the military. He is well known to many people.
DeVos, his pick for Sec. Education, has been a vocal advocate for vouchers. She's well known to people who work in education. I've been a tutor for over 40 years - picking up the pieces when the public schools and common core fail.
Scott Pruitt, head of EPA, has been vocal in his opposition to over regulation. He has been in the news for suing the EPA over that regulation.
Trump is picking people who have fought against big government. He's picking people who are for strong national defense. He's picking good people.

A voucher system provides the most freedom and is the backbone of the most successful education and health-care systems elsewhere in the world.
Hairspray from the 60's and 70's is illegal and CFC's were global cooling agents (in addition to destroying the ozone). The Clean Air Act, which also reduced atmospheric particulate, has more to do with the warming of the 80's and 90's than CO2 does. Are you at least aware that the planet stopped rapidly warming in the naughts and teens?
The EPA preemptively banned the Pebble Copper mine before they even requested a permit. That is smoking-gun corruption. If an organization with such broad sweeping powers is going to be run like that then it needs to be shutdown.

The lack of accountability within the voucher schools leads to many failing within a year (41%). Others have abused the program to take money from the voucher program for themselves.

Trump is taking climate change seriously. The hoax/lie of climate change is a serious threat.
Income inequality - mention skill inequality and work inequality. People who want more income can work harder, get skills, or take risks to achieve that income.
Education is available to everyone in America. There is free Internet with access to all the information in the world. However, the public school system is a problem - it's wasteful and inefficient. Get rid of it. Washington DC had a working solution - vouchers. Obama cancelled the successful program.
The please of people like BLM who riot, burn, assault - Trump will take that seriously. Obama has empowered that evil.
What's not going to happen with Trump is a continuation of all the failed progressive programs. He won't get rid of everything, but he'll make progress to pushing back this rotten ideology. His cabinet picks prove it.

The mainstream news presented women claiming Trump had sexually assaulted them. The mainstream news reporters didn't bother to dig about a centimeter below the surface - the women were being paid to make false claims.

Are you defining a landslide as "being vastly different than the predicted outcome"? Or as winning a huge majority of the available points to where the difference between the winner and loser is a massive void?
Because he did not win by a landslide of the second definition, and I'm not personally use to ever hearing anyone define a landslide as the first.
He absolutely won when no one thought he would (even himself and his campaign), but it wasn't a landslide victory.

The Hebrew is "nishmat chayyim". It's the spirit. It's not literally air.
Take BLM. The social issue that gave BLM its birth was a hero cop shooting a guy who had robbed a store, assaulted a clerk, assaulted the cop, and was rushing the cop. "Hands up don't shoot" never happened. The opening phrase of BLM was "burn this bitch down" - shrieked by Michael Brown's father as BLM rioters burned buildings.
The social issues progressives get worked up about are made up. They're constructs designed to lead people to hand their lives over to government.
Jesus wasn't talking about me. He was talking about you, people like Obama, people like BLM.

Obama walks out on election day, shakes Donald Trump's hand, and announces "It was just a joke everyone. I'll be staying in office after all. Thanks for being such good sports" before exterminating the GOP, taking our guns, and gay marrying the resurrected Osama Bin Laden.

For some reason people are neglecting to include the Pulse shooting, the worst mass shooting in US history, and worst terrorist attack since 9/11. Done by someone who was born in New York and grew up in Florida.

Trump will end terrorist attacks like this by banning foreign Muslims from entering the country and building a wall. Don't question his plan, just believe in him!
ZarathustraV · 10 points · Posted at 21:50:33 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Alas, in the face of an uptick in discussion of using nuclear weaponry, such shootings are but a footnote. And we've seen dozens or hundreds of mass shootings, but only 1 PEOTUS who's naming a cabinet of people who've never held public office, or even really work in the field they're going to now be governing.

ZarathustraV · 6 points · Posted at 22:40:28 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Apologies: let me clarify:
Most of his cabinet are not people who have worked in the fields they will soon be in charge of. Mattis served in the military and will be in charge of military stuffs. Fair. May not like him, but the choice fits. Same as Reince Preibus for chief of staff. I don't like Preibus, but it's a perfectly fine political choice.
Mattis is one guy; there are what, 16 cabinet positions? How many of them are utterly unqualified?

So you're saying that this year had something bad, but probably not too bad happen, and then in the process of fixing it, a time traveler came through and killed Harambe. When they went back to fix that, they caused White Nationalist Pepe. They kept going back until they killed Prince, caused Brexit, and got Trump elected?
Someone tell them to stop trying. Please.

Damn, Shandling... I know people keep saying "Aw, people say this stuff every year about famous people dying," but this really was a rough year. It's not just that famous people died, it's that so many of them were people who had really made an impact on people, and people weren't expecting them to die, not like you expect some 85-year-old Hollywood legend to die.
starkestrel · 8 points · Posted at 18:50:28 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Isn't it a simplification to say that they 'really had an impact on people'? The people the deceased celebrities 'had an impact on' finally included the younger generations who live on the internet and host today's media, so it hits closer to home. Those 85-year-old legends had an impact on the older generations. The difference here is that the people dying in 2016 were ones whose time period of influence included the people mourning so heavily for them. Thus, the mourning.
ArtSchnurple · 1 points · Posted at 01:30:50 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
Oh sure, I was weighing whether to address that in my comment or not and opted for ruthless self-editing instead, maybe to a fault. I'm a pretty big movie buff and general pop culture nerd (not to mention not exactly young), so I'm often affected even when a famous person dies who was very old and whose biggest cultural impact was decades ago, but certainly most people, especially ones posting on the internet frequently, are going to be more shaken up by Prince dying than Abe Vigoda.
starkestrel · 3 points · Posted at 22:52:32 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
I can appreciate that. And Prince and Bowie have a huge worldwide impact, and probably more than Abe Vigoda. But, I think of someone like Carroll O'Connor, who hugely impacted the social impact of TV entertainment in the US, and how most of the people 30 or younger in 2001 when he died were probably just minorly sad that Achie Bunker died, if that.
I'm assuming there's plenty of 10 year-olds who really don't care that Prince or Bowie died, but would be quite upset if Adam Levine or Miley Cyrus did.

Possibly because the difference in smaller countries within a larger island is hard to tell the difference? I'd wager most outside of America wouldn't know all of our states and we have a couple of states that might be as big or bigger than your countries.
Plus it hard to know who's a part of the UK, England, Britain, or any of the smaller blocs.
belieeeve · 5 points · Posted at 18:00:16 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Americans seem to know Scotland is a separate country, but not Wales? I think because it plays to the romanticised* narrative that Americans have where Scotland/Ireland are the underdog and the English are the oppressors, so anything that goes against that narrative is met with "they're basically England, anyway".

Britain is the one that's strange to me because I only think of England as "British." I think of Scotland as "Scottish" and Wales as "Welsh," but Britain is actually all three.

Exactly, all three, thats why England would be English in the sentence. (Which im sure your aware). But I do get where you're coming from. England seems alot more 'british' than the other two, especially London - they really push the whole British thing.
I definitely wouldn't be able to name all the states, let alone the capitals. (Although that's a much larger scale than the difference in UK, Britain and England). But I do understand Americans confusion over England Britain and UK.

I think it's just people joking. Unfortunately, they don't realize that calling Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland "England" is a quick way to make enemies. Depending on how pro/anti GB they are, calling them "British" can also get you in trouble quick.
Personally, I don't find the distinction very difficult, but I guess some do.

Without looking it up, I have no doubt that at least half of our states are bigger than every individual country inside Great Britain. I wouldn't be surprised if more than a third of our states were bigger than all of it.

The difference is that the Home Nations are constituent countries, not states. The nations of the UK had an independent existence for half a millennium before the Union came into being. While they're still strongly related, the cultural differences between somebody from Oxfordshire and Perthshire are probably greater than the differences between somebody from New York and Oregon.

Because monarchy. The UK is an arrangement that's really completely alien to the American way of thinking. The Queen is referred to as the 'Queen of England' much more often than 'The Queen of England, Scotland, Wales, and however many other commonwealth countries there still are'.
Since England is where the seat of her power is, 'England' becomes shorthand for the kingdom at large.
There's that scene in Goldeneye - a British film, when Bond and Alec Trevelyn are about to bust up some Russians:
So even Brits do it too...
Puerto Rico and Guam are probably the closest analogy we have in America. It's 'America but not really America'.

That's the point, there is a monarchy, and the Queen is English. The outside view that Americans see is all Buckingham Palace and Windsor, 'royal babies' annoying us in the tabloids, etc.
I'm not saying it's right, and you're wasting your breath by trying to argue - I know it's incorrect, I'm just explaining how the rest of the world perceives the UK. Keep in mind most people get their information from movies, tabloids, and half-remembered history lessons from childhood. I guess I should also point out that American history classes obviously spend a good deal of time talking about the American revolution, and one of the justifications for the revolution was that ol' King George was violating the colonists Rights as Englishmen.. And the area where the original American colonies are is still referred to as 'New England' to this day.
So you'll always hear about the war of independence against England, or at best, Great Britain.
It's just kinda ingrained in American culture that 'England' is that whole area over there. Americans know that Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland exist, yet 'England' is still sort of the everyday slang. Yes, I know it's not correct, but there you have it.
Now if you wanna get into a topic that's really confusing for an outsider, how about the definition of 'British'? Do we use it to describe anyone from the British Isles in a geographical way, or go the political route and exclude the Irish? Americans are more likely to see 'Britain' as a physical, geographical term and not a political boundary term, which is bound to piss off an Irishman.

1707 is when the Act of Union came into force creating the UK, the crowns of Scotland and England were merged together in 1603 when the Scottish James VI inherited the English throne creating a personal union whilst the countries were separate politically.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 21:06:02 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
I'll admit I'm no history academic but my understanding from the little research I did was up until 1707, there were singular monarchs but that they held separate titles (as in, /u/SeeMeSeeYouPal, King of England, King of Scotland...) and it was until the Act of Union that the country was actually united and thus the monarchy was too.
Either way, the point is that there is no such thing as the King/Queen of England anymore as England is not a sovereign state and does not have a monarchy.

Probably because you refer to yourselves in a million different ways? Your Olympics name is Great Britain, your diplomatic name is United Kingdom, and your former empire name is the commonwealth. All of which have been colloquially referred to as "England" or "English" on this continent ever since we called ourselves "New England" when you named us as such. It's a lot to keep track of.

Normally, I'd agree with your sentiment, but UK/GB/England geography was complex enough for CGP Grey to make a video to describe it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10
I get why people in the US don't really care about all the political intricacies of what many still think of as a former colonial overlord. Just like I don't expect former US puppet states to care about what's going on in the US today.
I'm not sure if you are British (I am intentionally leaving the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, etc. out of it), but it might be a vestige of the British Empire, that you expect that everyone cares about your political divisions. I'm not one to bury my head and ignore what's going on in the world, but I am not an Anglophile enough to keep up with everything people expect me to know. I just want to reflect your question back at you: you don't care that you come off as a bit ethnocentric to think that in the massive world outside YOUR borders that we should all still care about your political divisions so much.
When I was at a pub in Germany talking politics with an Aussie, a German, a Brit, and a Nigerian, the Aussie and the Nigerian were shocked that I knew the names of their current leaders and some current events in their countries. The German questioned me about US voters (in the era of George W.) and our lack of nationalized health care, but was anything but arrogant about their system. The Brit was in disbelief that only the Aussie knew details about the royal family and that no one had much of an idea where his home county was.

I keep repeating this throughout this thread but I'll go again.
I'm not expecting people to understand or care about the intricacies of our nomenclature. Rather the opposite. I'm confused as to why Americans attempt this and do so incorrectly (i.e. referring to specific home nations when they really mean the whole sovereign state) rather than just call the country by it's, for lack of a better term, "overall" name that's used everywhere else: the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain, for short.
We're in the UN as the United Kingdom. We're in the G8 for the United Kingdom. Our embassy on American Soil is the British Embassy. It's the British throne. We have a British parliament, not an English one. We compete in the Olympics as Britain. We have the British Broadcasting Corporation, which is known in the US.

I know the differences between England, UK, and GB. I don't know how to explain other people's thinking. Perhaps your former colonies may still think of it as the English crown lording over them.
I think it's kind of arrogant to assume that everyone else is paying attention to your Olympic team, TV corporation, parliament, etc.. UK/GB is not quite the political hotbed of Palestine, Cyprus or the Kashmir. The world is large and Great Britain is not as powerful as it once was. It may be more relevant for countries to know about the political divisions of China, not the US or GB.

It's not about them knowing the political divisions of the UK. It's about them not knowing that or attempting to, and just calling the country by the name it's almost always referred to on an international level.
But also, let's not pretend the UK doesn't have some cultural influence in the US. And we're still one of the world's largest economical (5th largest nominal GDP) and political powers.
ampereJR · 1 points · Posted at 21:49:47 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
I'm just starting to feel bad. You sound so desperate to be relevant. Sure, I guess, there's a cultural influence, but I live on the west coast of the US. When I go to Victoria, BC and see the British-influenced institutions, I realize how non-British things are where I live. It reminds me of Putin's posturing about being important while China didn't need to say anything - if your country is really so relevant, you don't need to remind everyone.
We're a bit of a multicultural society. My neighborhood is more and more influenced cultures of Vietnam, China, Somalia, Russia, Ukraine, Tonga, Iraq, etc. and, besides language, far less influenced by UK/GB/England.
I also give up when referring to anyone from the United Kingdom as anything because there are so many sensitivities to consider. I haven't been there, so I don't know what to be careful of. I remember offending a man from Belfast when I said something about him being from the UK - he was adamant that he was Irish.
I think I have the opposite sensitivities when I travel or meet people from other places. I hate to self-identify my nationality. There's such a history of US interventionism and a culture of arrogance, that I would prefer to be incognito. I may like my city and state, but I'm embarrassed to answer questions about my country. I don't expect people to know anything about the US. Maybe I'm not the norm, but I'm kind of ashamed when they do know things because it's probably from some sort of cultural, economic, or political intervention.

I keep trying to make the same point it is arrogant to assume that everyone should know things about your country when you are the former imperial power in a country. The language thing is a holdover from colonial times and I acknowledged it. Do you lord that over your former colonies in India and Hong Kong too? Do you see the point I was making about cultural arrogance? As a former colonial power, it might not be sensitive to insist a former colony to know your political divisions. If you were making the Hrvatska/Croatia, Burma/Myanmar argument, I'd be completely with you on it. Not only are those way less complex, but they weren't colonial powers in the US.
If you think the influence from other countries is encapsulated by a "little fill-in-the-country" neighborhood, I don't think you realize is how cultures of Asia, Central America and Mexico, and Eastern Europe influence daily life where I live. It's not a tokenized neighborhood/restaurant/store. These cultures and countries impact deep culture, the economy, and daily life. Is it because you still want to show us how important our former imperialistic government is that you assume Great Britain is more important?
I go back to the point about Putin and China. If I find that article, I'll link it. China doesn't need to tell us they are relevant. Neither does Mexico. If either of those economies struggle, it will have a severe impact on our economy and lives. When the Brexit vote occurred, the US stock market not only rebounded, but set a record high within a couple weeks. If China stops lending the US money, our economy will collapse.
It's kind of funny that you used Japan as an example when that name is a bastardization of Nippon/Nihon. Please tell me again how much knowledge you have about the world.

Jesus Christ. There's no need to write a wall of text about the relevance of countries, an argument that has little importance to the point that maybe those that are clearly aware of the existence of one of the world's major political and economic powers should use the proper name of the country instead of a mistaken one. This isn't about learning all the innate details and divisions of a country; it's about literally just knowing it's name and not trying to know the intricacies.
As I said, I have enough very basic world knowledge to know that the literal fucking name for the country is Japan. That's the name it represents itself at the United Nations as.
I don't need to know all the individual regions, political divisions and history of France to call the country France and not Normandy.

My reply is in response to things you've said in yours. It's not a tangent to mention China when you are rallying for the relevance of Great Britain or the UK to the US today. The point is that China doesn't need to make that argument.
The thread started when you indicated that someone calling your country the wrong name comes of "as very ignorant of the massive world outside your borders and a tad stupid?" My response to that was "you don't care that you come off as a bit ethnocentric to think that in the massive world outside YOUR borders that we should all still care about your political divisions so much."
During the Cold War, some people used Russia and the Soviet Union interchangeably. The political divisions and the naming of the country are a much bigger deal to the people in that country than to the rest of the world.
I'm going to hypothesize that it wouldn't happen so much if we generally called your capital London, UK, or London, GB, not London, England.

I'm not doing that. I haven't even brought up this concept of relevance.
I'm not expecting anyone to care about our political divisions. Not even in the slightest. In fact, the opposite. I just think people who go to the effort of naming our country should use the correct name, rather than attempt to use the name of a political division incorrectly. The issue is people seemingly do care about these internal politics as they're using England and not just calling us the UK or Britain.
Well, uh yeah... you're right... if you called our country by the correct name, you wouldn't call it by the wrong name so much. Well done!

This is where I thought that you were arguing for the relevance of the UK/GB.
I love geography, but I think people who aren't interested in geography are confused about political divisions and when we learn about your country, it's in the context of colonialism and a revolution, where King of England and British are used to describe the same imperial power.
I'll go back to the CGP Grey video. The political divisions are not so clear to people not immersed in it. It's arguably more complex than you think it is, particularly if you want to use the adjective "British." Is that all the overseas territories? Is that all the British Isles?
For someone who brushes off my distinction between America and the USA, you certainly seem indignant about others getting names right. and no, you can't use our idiot president-elect Donald "I have the best words" Trump as your litmus test for what a place is called. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10

Your responses are boggling to the mind. Why are you going on about colonialisms, revolutions and imperial powers? No one is asking anyone to become experts on the complex political nomenclature of our nation.
I was just asking someone to refer to our country by its actual name, instead of the incorrect one. You don't have to be an expert in geography or politics to know the actual name of a country you're clearly aware of since you're trying to refer to it anyway.
You're making this a lot more complex than it needs to be.
This was in response to you going on about relevance and such. Not me making the point by myself as justification for asking why people use the wrong name for my country.
ampereJR · 0 points · Posted at 05:05:45 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
I don't know if you are really trying to understand or just trying to complain about my responses. If I don't have to become an expert, can I just call you England and skip the whole thing? I've been trying to get it right, but maybe I'll just join others in from my country in not caring.
Kind of like the royal family, it's really not as straightforward to everyone who doesn't live there. I was in grade school when I was first confused about all this. We learn some history of separate countries, then they are currently one country, but that one country has a name (UK) that doesn't match the adjective (British) unless we use the full name of UK of GB and NI (a name we NEVER learn in school), so is it British and N. Irish? There are probably stronger cultural ties here to Ireland because there was a mass influx, and to a lesser extent, Scotland. With their separate parliaments, I think it's easy for outsiders to think of them as separate nations. So, at some point, people have to make the effort to sit down and sort it out...and plenty of people just don't care enough to do that. And, if we do, someone from Northern Ireland is likely to tell us to not dare call them anything but Irish. When Scotland was voting on independence, I think some people here only then figured out they were not already independent because they were voting on it.
I bring up colonies, because I would be in total agreement if you were arguing Bosnia vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina or differentiating between the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but when you are telling people living in a country that was colonized by your country that we are stupid that we don't keep track of what to call each part, it's strikes me as a little echo of imperialism, even in 2016.

To be honest, correcting someone calling a major country by the complete wrong name isn't really being nitpicky nor arrogant.
Nitpicking would be telling someone to call it perfectly by its full name, not just asking someone to at least put the most minuscule amount of effort into getting the common shortened name right like the rest of the world.

Firstly, your last point: yes, that was a typo or autocorrect playing up. Thanks!
It is a little confusing (all the more reason for Americans who clearly don't understand the relationship to just call us the UK rather than try and fail to discern any deeper) but the UK is the sovereign state.
We have a British government, but not an English one. We have a British throne, but not an English one. We are part of unions like the EU as the UK, not separate countries. We have British passports, but no English ones. The Union Flag is the flag of the UK, not England. And so forth...
I'm not saying never to refer to England separately but most of the time, there's no need to or it's done incorrectly. In the context I originally made my comment in, referring to the English throne when one really means the British throne is incorrect.

The United States of America.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
America is a commonly-accepted shortened name for the USA, just like Britain is for the UK. Fuck, you just elected a president with the tagline "Make America Great Again"!
England is a part of our country, not the name of the country. The equivalent might be to refer to the entire US as, say, California.

I'm just realizing you are the same person who just replied to me about not calling Great Britain/UK England, which I don't. Do you see any irony in you referring to the USA as "America" when that is two continents (or one, depending on how they are defined where you went to school. My boyfriend tells me that in Mexico, they were 6 continents, America being one).
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 21:34:00 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
No, I don't see any irony. You're either lying or ignorant to act like America isn't a common way of referring to the United States of America. Just like how Britain is a common way of shortening the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
If you're referring to the continent, it's "North America" or "the Americas". The equivalent mistake would be calling the continent "Canada", when "Canada" refers to just a part of the continent.
What is ironic is Americans in this thread joking about all the different ways of referring to parts of the UK and yet they use the same name for their continent and country. At least "Britain" and "England" do refer to two distinct things.

I'm from a progressive, liberal state where we got scolded for referring to the US as America. We could call it the United States, the US, or USA.
Have you traveled at all in Mexico, Central America, or South America? If you do, see how referring to the US as "America" works out for you.
[deleted] · 1 points · Posted at 22:01:29 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Either way, you do see how America is literally in the name of your country. Just like how Britain is in the name of ours. Your president-elect ran on a campaign of "Make America Great Again", not MTUSGA. When you search America in Wikipedia, the first line is "America is a short-form name for the United States of America."
But then notice how England is not the name of our sovereign country, nor part of that name.
Perhaps I have more to learn about the nomenclature and colloquialisms at play across the Americas but that does not make my point about the name of my country any less accurate.

In essence, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are "states" and the UK is the country much like France, Germany, Japan, China, Australia, etc.
England, Scotland, etc existed before the union as separate countries with their own monarchs and such so we still consider and call them separate constituent countries rather than states.

That's the part that confuses some of us over here. Is Britain a country or is England, etc. a country?

England is a country but it's not sovereign. It's a part of the UK, which is a country and is what we are represented by on an international level. 99% of the time, you mean Britain when you say England. For example, in the instance that I corrected in this thread, the British Throne was referred to as the English throne.
It is confusing but generally diving deep into the well of different names for areas of our country is unnecessary, especially from an American perspective.
It's like referring to the EU as Germany. Germany's part of it, it's own state and often what you're saying might apply to Germany specifically too, but Jean-Claude Juncker isn't the President of Germany.

Thanks. I have a buddy born in England. He claims he is English, not British or UKish, so I think your explanation of the sovereignty summarizes it very well. Folks from England relate to that as their country in same sense as others from non GB countries. But the politics are broader. Like I said in a previous comment, I understand the politics and hierarchy of the U.K./GB. I'm familiar with the different countries too. Just wanted to offer my perspective on why it confuses many people from this side of the oceans. Thanks again for offering explanations. You guys are unique in this sense.

On the other hand, England is very much an actual, literal thing that is being referred to incorrectly here.

But the name "the UK" (also shortened to "Britain") is how we refer to ourselves internationally. 99% of the time, the UK/Britain is the name you should use to refer to our country.
So what is confusing is why you all seem to attempt to use the more specific names referring to just parts of our country (like England) when you don't understand them.
It's kind of like me knowing what a flower is but trying to call one by it's proper name and ending up calling a tulip by the name of a daisy. I clearly don't understand the individual naming system so I probably should've just said "oh, that's a nice flower".

I certainly consider myself British more so than just English, and from my personal experience, I'd say this is more the norm. It seems like a different story in Scotland and NI (well, for some at least but that's a whole other issue).
Either way, referring specifically to England as England is fine. My issue is when Americans (or just non-Brits) refer to our sovereign state as just England. The issue in this thread I pointed out was the claim the Prince of Wales was in the line of succession to the English throne which is incorrect. We don't have an English monarchy; the throne is British.
nedefaron · 1 points · Posted at 17:10:32 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Because of multiple bloody campaigns over the centuries where the full might of England was brought to bear on the Welsh?
Wales has more castles per square kilo than nearly anywhere else in the world (although Guinness World Records grants that to the Czech Republic). Some were old Roman settlements, but a majority of them were developed by English marcher lords to keep the Welsh down. The English came up with Drawing & Quartering to punish Welshmen who declared themselves Prince of Wales.
So I think it's fair to say Wales is definitely NOT England, even if more recent history has been a little friendlier.

Wales has its own government, its own parliament, its own laws, a separate NHS, a separate education system, a national library, a national museum, and no state religion (unlike England).
It has its own culture, its own traditions, its own language.
It has a flag, an anthem, a national flower and a goddamn national bird.
The language is very much still alive. One fifth of the country speaks it and it is still a community language throughout much of the west. I speak it regularly and am not an "occasional hold out". There is a vibrant Welsh music scene. There's a Welsh language TV station. A Welsh language radio station. Welsh language festivals.

And clearly the meaning of the name has passed you by.
The Welsh are the Britons. The original Britons. The Britons that spoke their British language all across Britain before the Romans came. The Britons who survived conquest and assimilation by the Anglo-Saxons. The Britons who clung on to their Celtic culture and language at the very edge of the island which was once their own.
In the Middle Ages, "British" meant "Welsh". Those Welsh rulers who attained a position of supremacy over their counterparts were titled "King of the Britons" before "Prince of Wales" took over in the High Middle Ages.
The English government, particularly during the Tudor period (the Tudors were of course very aware of their Welsh roots), did an excellent job of co-opting the Welsh national myth to their own advantage; using the legends of King Arthur and Prince Madog to pursue their imperial ambitions in the rest of the British Isles and in North America, respectively, and through using the word "British" in a new way. Even the first modern usage of the term "British Isles" dates from this time, found in the writings of English imperialist John Dee (himself of Welsh ancestry).
So you see, the Irish name merely preserves the earlier use of the word, and in fact, does underline Wales' distinct identity.

I was watching the highlights of J.R. the other day. Been a while since I've gotten into wrestling since it's so tame now, but with Mark Henry coming back, Flair being a personality as well as Edge, and rumors of the violence and attitude coming back, I wanna watch again.
abracadavertla · 4 points · Posted at 18:49:54 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Mark Henry, Flair, and Edge are barely on and it will never be like it was in the late 90s, but right now is the best WWE has been in a very long time. Just AJ Styles alone makes it worth watching. Not to mention over in TNA you have "Broken" Matt Hardy, who recently got a Steve Austin-like pop when he surprised everyone and showed up at a ROH event, (a pre-taped promo anyway). Plus Chris Jericho has proved he's still one of the greatest with the stuff he's doing with Kevin Owens.
There's some stuff that the WWE is doing wrong, like the way they're using Sami Zayn and whatever they're doing with Roman Reigns, but the good seriously outweighs the bad right now.

No man, didn't you know that Trump is actually a clone of Hitler sent by Russia to destroy America?
Hillary's attempt after attempt to revive the red scare was a warning, and not at all a pathetic attempt to convince undecided voters she's protecting us from a made up threat. Only she could've saved those poor Syrian
terroristsrebels from Russia and Assad. It's a complete coincidence that our meddling there is in Saudi and Qatar interests, and is not at all part of NATO's posturing against Russia. If a no fly zone is what it takes to save thoseterroristsrebels, then it's worth a war and certain nuclear annihilation among global superpowers.DoktorSoviet · 0 points · Posted at 19:53:14 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Lol, if you think the fears of Putin's Russia are just unwarranted "Red Scare" tactics then, well, Putin has played you, and millions of other Americas.
Normally I'd agree that fearmongering with Russia is pathetic, but Putin is a different story. I have had the luxury of meeting our ambassador to the Soviet Union/Russia (he was there in 1991, during the coup attempt) and he knew Putin as well. Putin is a terrifyingly smart man who has the connections of the former KGB behind him and decades of experience in the shadier aspects of international politics.
He is a very real threat, and the fact that millions of Americans just elected a man with some questionable opinions on Putin shows just how threatening he is, not just because of his skills, but because people will refuse to take him seriously until it is too late.

It's a country of over 300 million people, it's nearly impossible to make all of them happy with one person. Even before we had that many people, people got upset over elections. Andrew Jackson's supporters got mad when he won the electoral and popular vote but the House gave it to John Quincy Adams since Jackson didn't get a majority. The South literally left the country when Lincoln got elected. The entire Tea Party movement is basically a response to Obama's election. And so on

I don't remember '92 or '84 being protested, but those are probably the only two in my lifetime that most people were okay with. That being said, I was only 3 years old when 1980 happened so I don't really remember it.
And in '96 the only people really mad were the far-right militia people and the Buchanan supporters.

I know most people here are joking, but honestly, it wasn't that insane. I mean yeah, some crazy stuff like Trump, Brexit, Turkish coup and Leicester city happened, but even that is not so usual if you consider the fact that there are something like 200 countries, and every year something silly happens in some of them. This time it was the English-speaking world's turn. The Arab spring was way more important and remarkable, but most people have already forgotten it even happened, apart from the war in Syria.
Also, terror attacks happen every year, this time there just happened to be more in western countries. And saying that a couple Hollywood celebrities dying is something remarkable is just ridiculous: that happens every year.
Memes and fake news becoming part of daily life and having influence outside the Internet is a new development, but is it any special considering the fact that year by year, the impact of social media has grown?
mikailovitch · 20 points · Posted at 17:44:56 on December 11, 2016 · (Permalink)
Well, off the top of my head, I think a lot of stuff still happened in Africa (Boko Haram), the Middle East (Syria yes but also ISIS), Asia (think Duterte and the war on drugs, or repression in Thailand), and South America (for example Colombia and the treaty with the FARC). So yeah, intense year all around, I'd say. Not to mention Russia, where everything always has been and always will be intense.

Maybe I am just an ignorant American but this is the first time I have seen globalization so resoundingly rejected. Trump ran on ending NAFTA as a Republican. Brexit was the first time an EU country has left the EU. Many had threatened (see Greece) but usually the powers that be forced the leaders or people of said country to wake up and not attempt to destroy the slow march to globalization. This year, the experts were rejected by the masses and globalization might be under some kind of threat. That seems like a big deal to me.

Nah, you are correct, the atmosphere on this side of the Atlantic is also full of uncertainty, its much worse than when the financial crisis hit. Every single election that awaits Western EU (apart from Germany) will be a gamble between the rising populists, and the worn-out establishment. There is also a great debate among politicians if EU should arm itself to the teeth, should Trump act unloyal to NATO.

And yet no one is mentioning the riots, the calls for police reform, the DAPL protests, the amount of innocent people shot at, maced, hosed... we had planes go down and Istanbul had a major explosion last night. It wasn't just celebrities dying, it started with two massive icons in our culture that represent two extremely upset groups of people. David Bowie was incredibly ambiguous with his gender in his time and the impact of Prince's music on our culture and even gospel music is massive. To lose them both was exceedingly difficult.
Brexit and Trump both were massive reality checks for how divided the western world is becoming. How we will handle Syrian refugees and the middle eastern communities in both countries are terrified by the validation these racists are getting by those victories. No one is saying these events are as bad as something like the Arab spring, they're saying we're old enough now to see the writing on the wall. These are bad omens. And losing people who have brought us relief and joy is a very hard pill to swallow when the world keeps falling apart on every platform we have to see it from.

Erdogan: Purging Gülenists from his government because he doesn't want Turkey "being run from Pennsylvania". Trump: Basically allowing America to be run from Moscow. 2016: The year the number of countries governed in the USA just went from 2 to 0.

Do you know what's happening in Turkey? The day of this bombing, the Turkish Parliament was voting on whether to give Erdogan "presidential powers" (aka give him the power of a dictator). If Erdogan gets those powers, he could use that explosion to declare martial law and disband the Turkish Parliament.
After all, there's strong evidence the coup was staged so he could have even more power. Erdogan has made it very clear he wants to be a dictator. He wants more power, and what better way to do it than to stage a terrorist attack and disband the people who limit his power. It's a real possibility, considering how he already arrested hundreds of judges after the coup.

Correction: a domestic terrorist shot up a gay night club. You act like it was organized by every registered democrat.
Imagine if I said the entire Republican Party is responsible for the Planned Parenthood shooting just because the perpetrator was republican.
cortex112 · 1 points · Posted at 05:04:40 on December 13, 2016 · (Permalink)*
First of all, that domestic terrorist is a long-time Democrat. His father was invited by Clinton to be seated in the special area in her rally so he is a very important model Democrat. So yes, your party should be responsible for the death of 49 of my fellow LGBT friends and that person is representative of mainstream Democrat Party. Your party has been running an anti-LGBT platform that causes such heavy prices. You should be ashamed.
Even if it is true (it isn't), isn't this what WaPo said exactly? I am not saying they are right or wrong, I am just pointing out that your propaganda media can't maintain logical consistency between the two tragedies. Republicans should be responsible for the PP shooting and Democrats should be responsible for Pulse terrorist attack/hate crime.

But that's the thing though. For example I'm 23. Just turned a few weeks ago. And even I recognize that we've had similar/worser years, that I've experienced. And people keep mentioning the year a bunch of famous people died. But are we forgetting the year 2009, just 7 years ago. Michael Jackson. Farrah Fawcett. David Caradine. Billy Mayes. Patrick Swayze. Walter Cronkite. Robert McNamara. Ted Kennedy. These are the few I can remember. Shit going down in the Middle East? Man this has been happening since 1914 and just progressively getting worse. I mean I remember the Iraq War starting up and how bad that was. Same with Afghanistan. Had a shitty man elected into office even though the popular said someone else? Umm Bush was elected just 16 years ago.
So to go with your comment. I both agree and disagree with it. I agree because we are overhyping this shitty year. But I don't agree that it's the 20-something year olds because we have references.

"Never tell me the odds"
Leicester City wins the English Premier League after being 5000-1 at the start of the season.
LeBron wins the first sports Championship for Cleveland since 1964 after they came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors, who themselves came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.
The Cubs win their first World Series in over a century after coming back from a 3-1 deficit.
Trump wins the Republican nomination and the Presidency, despite being given only 2% odds to win the nomination and then the general election.

Child mortality is at the lowest level in history globally ever. More people than ever have access to clean drinking water and electricity than ever before. More children are going to school. Less people life in poverty.
So in many ways we are doing better but we only care about the outrage and being angry

A white kid assumed a black gorilla's gender, causing the gorilla to be shot by Donald Trump. Trump was later elected president after promising to Make America Great Again by building a wall to protect Ken Bone from seeing a Cubs world series win & indicting the Zodiac Killer, Ted Cruz. Also, Hillary Clinton beat Pokemon Go while Joe Biden and Barack Obama were married by a priest who hit the hottest dab of the century. Also, Kanye West announced his candidacy for the 2020 bottle flipping competition.
(Or something like that.)

My personal 2016 tl;dr...
Nov 2015 was unemployed since March and couch-surfing since August with no home, needed work badly, went back to an old employer, at same time got back together with bf (same who made me homeless, he claimed he freaked out and never meant to hurt me and wanted me to move in, have a family, and to be with me forever, I believed him), and I really really loved him and believed him to be my soulmate and forever love... both the job and in turn the relationship quickly became not good (stagnant with same old problems plus some more) w/ added stress of 3hr/day commute & non understanding bf, so seriously lacked quality together time or fun, was always exhausted, and my health and happiness greatly suffered as I needed support and care and got none, instead he preceded to be more and more an asshole to me caring about only his wants and ignoring most all of mine no matter how I asked, I felt increasingly alone and unloved and stressed as I just couldn't comprehend why he was treating me in the ways he did, I kept trying to discuss things with him so we could find resolutions together, and I kept trying to help him improve his life, be a great partner to him, be a great mom to his daughter, and make our lives really great today and in our future together which included trying to find me new work to get rid of the commute, help him get his child support stuff properly handled, help him improve his business, but he was lazy, hardly worked just played, took my money but called it '50/50', antagonized me and called me names with some regularity (fat mostly, but also lazy, crazy, just a woman, that I was not his equal, that my time and me had less value than him, etc) and he basically rarely included me in much of anything anymore, we rarely went on dates and if we did, there was no generosity or happiness, all was about money with him including him giving me grief once over a couple quarters of change (even though I had bought him dinner the night before), he almost never acknowledged the great things I did for him they were just expected but he rarely went out of his way for me, additionally he would do things or make comments that would make me rather insecure, add to his being very secretive and lies I was noticing he'd tell (little ones but still, they make you wonder what else), I just couldn't really trust him or discuss anything with him, life was always walking on eggshells, I originally attributed this all to his still healing from divorce years earlier but that was no excuse any longer, and so I didn't understand if this was all on purpose towards me (did he want to hurt me? who wants to hurt someone they love? I still don't get it), and it felt like every time I tried to talk to him, nothing was ever his fault and he usually manipulated things and turned them back on me somehow such as I was somehow to blame or didn't understand or he didn't care and I could just leave if I didn't like it, etc, and I was just completely lost by then, it was 7 months of living basically like I was in a dorm room, mostly out of a small closet as he never let me fully move in (no room for me, other excuses, etc), nor was I really fully a part of the family, his rollercoaster alternating between love and asshole behavior just confused and destroyed me more and more as I kept giving and hoping, and couldn't understand why he wouldn't reciprocate my great behavior back, and eventually I really fell apart and became a shell of my former self, during that downslide I found a new fantastic job with minimal commute and I was aglow with happiness that things would finally be made right and begin improving, but they didn't really, I was ignored or not considered most of the time, and I began to check out mentally as it seemed he already was and started treating him the way he was treating me in one last ditch effort to see if maybe he'd 'wake up', he didn't but he did notice my behavior as becoming more 'bitchy' (yeah, I was mirroring him) and treated me even worse, and with support of a better job and improving me again I really began to grasp just how unhealthy he really was (maybe always was but hid well, or just a response to other things like his ex wife, I don't know) and I was unhealthy because of him, and that I just couldn't be strong enough for both of us anymore (I don't even think he ever realized how much of his bs I shouldered), I couldn't save someone that didn't want to be saved or want to see a different and better life, and that he definitely wasn't going change back to be the really amazing and great man I used to see in him, he was unwilling to see anything wrong with his behavior or thoughts of recent or many years and I couldn't take the emotional abuse anymore, we broke up during a vacation (he broke up with me just to stab in the knife, pretty sure he was already talking to other women or cheating), he treated me with even more cruelty right at the end just to hurt me even more (why he loved hurting me, someone he claimed to love forever, I still haven't a clue, and in 3 years, I was great to him, we almost never fought, I even only ever said something critical or mean to him during 2 occasions, 1 when he was verbally attacking me right before the end and I need him to stop, another when he did one of the cruelest things he could've ever done to me after we ended, brought another girl home 1 day later right in front of my face and yelled at me to call me crazy even though I had told him I was going to be there and had paid rent), really, at the end of the day he lost what would've been an amazing life with the only person in his life not blood related that actually gave a damn about him (none of his friends really do, most people think hes a self-righteous jackass, and his family has no choice, mom is dying and dad would otherwise peace out, but they want to see their granddaughter have the best life possible), he's burned most of his bridges in life, is going nowhere work wise or life wise, and now I hear he's a cuck too (hilarious), he's just an idiot now, at one time he had within him all the potential in the world and we so amazingly in love, birds of a feather, were probably just about the most compatible 2 people could ever be, but that great man is totally gone I think and with him my love of him, he chose to be this horrible person instead for reasons beyond any logical or rational thought instead of a great man and my teammate, and I think can only be attributed to serious mental issues on his part, I always had his back, and would've always stood by his side had he just been that great man again that I see in him to me but no, so spent 2 months couch surfing until I found a new place to live, all of his rollercoaster of abuse and love took a huge toll on me, and I spent a long time doing much much healing and self improvement mentally and physically, and I am proud to say I am back to my happy, healthy, confident, intelligent, beautiful, and athletic self again! ....but even better than I've ever been before, I am better looking than ever, fitter, mentally stronger, in a much more stable and better place in life, and I'm committed to constant improvement and caring for myself, I will only care for people who actually deserve it, I will not ever allow someone to strip all those things away from me again. Learned many lessons. Dating again but committed to singleness until I find someone actually worthy of me, live in a great area, walk to work, have great job, health is a habit, lots of travels and adventures, positive outlook, I love myself and my life is very good!
Edit: that got long, but was cathartic...
Edit 2: fixed some words
tl;dr Lots happened this year, initially was a rollercoaster, then was downhill, renewed myself, worked hard, and life is great and getting even better every day and excited for 2017!

It's more like a hate-hate relationship to be honest, I'd say even most Remain voters aren't ideologically keen on "more Europe" like joining the Euro or Schengen (we even have opt-outs to continue using miles on the roads) but find the economic risks of leaving unacceptable. There simply isn't much of a European identity in the UK, we've always felt closer to Australia and the US than Romania or Hungary.

1) I think it's a bigger deal for South Korea, than it is for the rest of the earth. I think the shock of a president getting impeached is what captured the attention of the west.
2) The King of Thailand has some importance to the whole of East Asia and India, as he has lineage and poltico-royal connections with India and China.
3) Russia has gotten more aggressive recently, albeit I'm someone who thinks that the west is also over-aggressive too.
4) I hope it ends well.
5) Turkey is going through a period of increasing nationalism, conservatism, war-mongering against it's Kurdish population, Islamism, and anti-westernism. It's reducing human rights while violence has sharply increased.
6) Europe's problem with Muslims has always existed. Unlike the USA, the main issue with Muslims is their socio-economic position which mimics Blacks in the US.
7) There's been an sharp increase recently though. I'd imagine that they'll be far more soon as war doesn't seem to be ending any time soon. There have also been sharp movements to desecuarlize several Muslim countries like Indonesia and Turkey.
8) It's still quite controversial.
9) I think Trump is a conservative-socialist.
1) I guess so.

Not everyone. Just the shit lords who voted Trump while waving confederate flags. The majority of voters actually voted to move the country forwards. The rest did have some racist shit lords in their mix, but most were just voting out of fear. Whether fear of Muslims, Mexicans, change or what have you. That doesn't make them bad people, just terrified masses needing a con man who promises only he can keep them safe.

If by breaking his campaign promises, empowering Wall Street, embarrassing the US in general and office of the president in particular, ignoring intelligence briefings, showing little interest in actually doing the job of a president, and acting like a teenager using twitter to bicker publicly, then sure, he's done a lot.
I do believe in giving credit where credit is due though- his appointment of Mattis was spot on.
Other than that, he's been busy pulling the rug out from under his supporters.
scumbag-reddit · 1 points · Posted at 01:09:02 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
So, he's created 84k jobs already. Dollar is up. Stocks are soaring. Diplomacy worldwide is about to happen, especially with the Saudis, Japan, Russia, China, Syria, Mexico. Apple, Carrier, Ford coming home...
Those are my specific examples. Please show me some specific examples instead of regurgitating unproven and baseless garbage spewed by the CNN tabloid.
You're a liar and you know it.
"Ignoring intelligence briefings"...you must mean Obama, who has missed over half of his in his 8 years.
This is why the left is in shambles.
sarcastroll · 1 points · Posted at 02:10:32 on December 12, 2016 · (Permalink)
I take Trump at his word- he's skipping all but ~1 briefing per week.
Unlike Obama, who read his PDB each day and followed up with questions, coming prepared to the meetings. When there where no questions or action items, yes, the 9:30 was cancelled. But that was only after his careful analysis. The Government Accountability Institute debunked article you refer to has been debunked for years.
As for jobs- Are you referring to the inflated Carrier numbers Trump cited when he backed out of his campaign promise to punish those who leave? You know, rather than punish, he went for the PR stunt and simply bribed Carrier to keep a subset of their jobs temporarily as they use their taxpayer-funded dollars to automate their factories to reduce costs (aka layoff the jobs he claims to have saved) later?
Or are you talking about the Saudi-backed SoftBank investment that was in the works before the election even happened? You know, the one with the all too obvious dog and pony show that Trump could do a song and dance number and claim 'credit' for. The one that he took credit for for allowing a consumer-crushing parent company merger to continue?
Trump is showing to the world that as long as you say something nice about him, you can have your way with the American public. His actions are the antithesis of looking out for the common American. He's a narcissist that will let people get away with anything as long as they flatter him. It's weak. It's pathetic.
But hey, just keep telling yourself that he's draining the swamp as you lose count of just how many Wall Street execs he's putting in charge of the policies that will determine whether Wall Street or Main Street prospers. He sure is being tough on Goldman, isn't he?
But hey, you just go ahead and keep on following your 'God Emperor' or whatever the timid, frightened masses that feel only Trump can keep them safe are calling him now. With luck you'll feel the rug being pulled out from under you before it's too late. If not, well, don't feel bad. You're not the only one that went to Trump U.

Everything you said is absolutely false- I'd love to see you back it up by verified sources. No, Washington Post opinion pieces aren't sources. No, you can't find any sources because they don't exist. Yes, Trump is bringing back a ton of jobs. Yes, Trump is taxing U.S. companies 35% that stay overseas. Yes, Trump is already turning the country great. Yes, you are delirious. No, you cannot have government rationed tendies anymore.

Or Trump's own words from a left leaning source: "http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-intelligence-briefing_us_584d65a5e4b04c8e2bb04195"
As far as his 'taxes' on Carrier.
Would you prefer a right wing perspective (Sarah Palin): http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/sarah-palin-donald-trump-carrier-deal-crony-capitalism-232139
or would you prefer the WSJ right wing's opinion of how the deal is terrible for workers: "http://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-carrier-shakedown-1480639199"
Remember- Carrier had nothing to do with 35% import taxes- he simply bribed them.
But as long as we're on the topic of his mythical 35% tariffs...
Would you prefer a conservative view as to how disastrous that would be? "http://www.redstate.com/jaycaruso/2016/12/04/trump-threatens-35-import-tax-total-disaster/" or "http://www.wsj.com/articles/how-trumps-hard-line-on-trade-could-backfire-1458848243"
Or would you prefer a more nuanced view from the rust belt he conned: "http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/15/news/economy/trump-tariff-ford-mexico/"
But all that is beside the point- you're counting on him to #MAGA. Sadly, our greatness isn't measured in what a minority of voters feel about how badass we are and whether President Camacho is tough enough. Given then shear derision and condescension our new orange God Emperor is instilling in them, he's not exactly making the US look good in anyone eyes other than his most hard core minority of supporters.

I don't think you read any of those sources. You linked opinion pieces. Opinion. And took them as fact. (Or out of context bullshit)
Carrier deal for example: a $700k tax break per year for ten years for a total of $7 million in tax breaks, when the taxes paid would total a bit over $2 million per year for sending deal. Last I checked, that's a net positive of $1.3 million in tax revenue for the U.S. WITH additional jobs.
Stop posting opinion pieces and show me facts. (You can't)

Again, you're blindly eating up a PR stunt and not looking at the next level down.
For example- the $65M it's saving by moving more operations to Mexico, or the $16M investment that's part of the deal to keep costs down by automating those jobs in the Indianapolis plant.
But all that ignores the bigger picture- He buckled. Rather than penalize, the moment a company threatened to leave he bent the knee and offered them breaks. The message of how to bully this administration has been sent. Threaten to move X jobs, get the breaks you want, and just move the Y jobs you originally wanted. The only price for the company is you flatter his hyper sized ego with a PR statement after.
It's not just unsustainable in an economy of this size, it's terrible policy.

This has been the worst among last 14 years. Sad part is that every year in Turkey we say "This year was the worst." but every other year its been worse and worse... I hope our country will get better sooner, or every beautiful thing we have in Turkey will be painted by blood...

2016: the year the impossible became possible
Other than many famous celebrities (and our Lord and Saviour Harambe, he died for our sins) dying, the whole world at some point throughout the year each had their "hold my beer" moment to prove that nothing is impossible by doing the impossibly stupid or at the very least the absolutely unexpected. Britain voted to leave the EU, the electoral college voted (will be voting) for Trump in the US General elections (we all know the people didn't), Italy voted against Constitutional reform, Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his Best Actor Oscar, Leicester City won the Premier League, the Cubs won the World Series, and so far we've capped off with the death of Fidel Castro, which I believe was due to the CIA finding a way to weaponise time itself since their other assassination attempt failed lol.
Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen for the season finale of the hit TV spin-off to "Lost", "2016"! Airing December 31st.

Muffled screams can be heard in the background while the voice of Donald trump attempts to calm them down with his limited vocabulary. Two gunshots can be heard and several Pokémon GO players stumble upon his corpse. Later, the cops that arrive on the scene of Donald trump's death call it a suicide. Several news stations that report the story of Donald Trump's death also use memes in an attempt to get millennials to watch TV news and not just check their new social media. insert necessary comment about fucking harambe. Several Daniels are still suffering from PTSD and whenever someone says damn around them they flinch. Britain and the US had a competition to see who could fuck up the most and it is still unclear but I think that the US will cause more lasting damage. Planned parenthood received enough donations from Mike Pence that they may be able to oppose his actions to close them. There are STILL climate deniers out there. Vladimir Putin is secretly engaged to Donald Trump. The year of 2016 will go down in history as the year when we finally realized that we may be fucking up real bad.

The growing resentment felt by those left behind by the combination of globalization, multi-culturalism, and socialism in the West has finally crossed the tipping-point, leading to the rise of new populist-right candidates and parties around the Western world, with the right-populists winning major elections in Italy, the UK, and the US in 2016, much to the surprise of many who never travel outside the major urban hubs, and who consume media primarily produced in those hubs.

TL;DR: There was a conspiracy started by Donald Trump in which a gorilla was shot. People lost their shit so much that Leicester won the league, the Cubs won the World Series, Britain left Europe and Trump became President. Scores of celebrities committed suicide rather than witness the world fall.

Celebs died, a gorilla died, you didn't get a girlfriend and we memed Donald Trump right into the presidency. Also, music and games were pretty shit this year, movies were great and I think most people stopped reading. Brits pulled some stupid shit, a whole lot of European prime ministers resigned. Someone leaked a metric shitton of damning info on most of the rich people in the world and nothing happened to any of them. Syria kept being Syria. ISIS got beaten down to basically being confined to a single city, so that's nice. Oh and for a brief moment it looked like a stupid Pokemon game was going to bring peace to the world....but then people got bored.
You know what, way too much shit happened to TL;DR this year.

So, can we all agree on something then? 2017 needs to be better. Regardless of what Mother Nature does WE need to be better. We need to use our internet power to help people, we need to be extra grateful. I am sure many of you remember "today you, tomorrow me." I think that needs to be our motto this year. I can't take another year like this one I just can't.
The day before yesterday I found out an old friend was hit by a car while crossing the street. He was pronounced dead where he lay by the time the medics got to him. I haven't seen him in years and we live 300 miles apart but he was still my friend. I'm not saying 2016 didn't have some good parts because I think it did but it's been covered in shadow by all of the tragedies. Christmas is coming and I haven't been able to get into the spirit of things. Christmas is my favorite holiday and this year between the mental health issues, how 2016 has gone, and the mess that my parents marriage has turned into I just can't find the joy. 2017 has to be better it just has to.

Winning Candidate Summary:
I call it 'Trumped Up, Trickle Down' because that's exactly what it would be.
Drain the swamp.
Lock her up.
Lyin' Ted.
Nasty Woman.
Not paying taxes makes me smart.
I have a winning temperament. I know how to win.
I have the endorsement of the NRA, which I’m very proud of. These are very, very good people
We're gonna build the wall, and let Mexico pay for it.
(they want to) Rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby
Nobody has more respect for women than me. Nobody.
This was locker room talk.
I will be a president to all of our people (yikes)
I would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers, on this special date, September 11th. SAD!

I heard that it was Doc Brown choosing to stay in the wild west that changed the course of this timeline. We could have had hoverboards and flying cars and the Cubs could have won the superbowl... well, a year earlier. His contributions to technology left us in the darkest timeline.

TL;DR Sanders convinced the rust belt that Hillary Clinton was the reason for the demise of US manufacturing, and that the process could be reversed with simple policy changes, like opposition to NAFTA and the TPP. This basic misunderstanding was the foundation of President Elect Trumps victory in those areas, which won him the election.

Then we all realized that 75 years ago Asians proved there skill at crashing. America decided that Mexico needed lessons in wall construction, but the Chinese wouldn't refinance our loans.

I would recommend you simply pick a publication or two (New York Times and Wall Street Journal, for example) and read them cover to cover each day. Buying the physical papers will help you not feel overwhelmed, because while they constantly post breaking news and new content online, their paper formats are finite and thus easy to get through and be done for the day. There's really no other way to become truly informed than to put in the time and effort of researching (reading) what people are saying and doing. If you absolutely reject the idea of reading the newspaper and just want the quick and dirty version, www.OnTheIssues.org is a popular but by no means perfect site to get candidate stances on issues.

Who are you asking? The hive mind of humanity or me personally?
Personally been consistently the best year of my life by leaps and bounds start to finish, and it's pretty awk walking around and everybody is on fire and depressed and in chaos and I'm just metaphorically walking around with my headphones playing cheerful music, strolling through the park with a smile on my face, humming.

TL;DR The USA showed the world that their decisions are manipulated by TV media by electing Donald Trump as president; Canada showed her kinder gentler side by electing Justin Trudeau Prime Minister; and the clean-up of the world's addict population began with the introduction of fentanyl.

Democracy is failing all over the world. Democratically elected leaders try to become dictators, and are succeeding. People are asked to vote about complicated things that they don't understand. Democratic countries are not able to react quickly enough to the actions of non-democratic countries.

My (optomistic) prediction for future years:
2017: Le Pen wins, France and Italy leave the EU, CNN and ABC lose WH Press privileges and are replaced with Breitbart and Infowars
2018: EU collapses, Germany is really fucking pissed, North Korea does some crazy shit, US/China relations are tense, US/Russia relations improve, Soros extradited to Russia in exchange for Snowden
2019: Wall gets built, Federal Reserve audited, take down of the NWO begins, Rothschilds are assassinated left and right by independent militia groups
2020: Trump wins second term, defeats Elizabeth Warren (D) and Ben Sasse (I)

Btw, Rothschilds are behind Trump, Putin, and turkey. When you get a chance scope out Genie energy and it's board of directors. Check out some the names on their and see if you can connect it to names on the Trump train. cough Woolsey, cough Murdock, cough Rothschild they have vested interests with Erdogan and Putin in Syria.

Of course they are. They fund both sides of everything and use the central banks to control nations and get rich. Trump's gonna bring and end to them though. They thought they had control of Kennedy, and ended up killing him when he attempted to end their control of the US.

You may have helped to destroy this country (and possibly the world) IF YOU DIDNT VOTE IN THE US ELECTION! 41.9% of eligible voters didn't exercise their right and fulfill their obligation as a citizen. The candidate who won the popular vote will not be the person inaugurated in January. ಠ_ಠ
