| December 31, 2020 can't come soon enough! >We started with the Iran/U.S nonsense of Trump trying to compensate his tiny dick by waving around the U.S military's might and almost starting WWIII... >Iran then went full retard and downed a commercial airplane with innocent civilians, most of which were Iranians themselves...... >Australia is literally burning to the ground... >Coronavirus is running rampant and people are starting to freak out >NBA legend Kobe tragically dies at only 41 from a helicopter crash And it's only January....good god, how will we survive?! |
| Tired of this ww3 shit. WW3 is not gonna start because we attack some shitty third world religion of peace country. It is gonna start with Russia or china and with nuclear weapons. Are there really people that cannot sleep because they think boogy man trump is after them? lol Only thing I really care about is kobe. We've heard about outbreaks before and they never amounted to the human race dying so not really worried. |
 |
| Well I'm sure you'll forget all about January come this November when Trump is reelected. |
 |
| I'm just going to watch anime, and hopefully enjoy a quick death. Something instant.. like being vaporized by a nuke. ::) |
 |
| WW3 was never going to start, it's your own fault for being naive enough to think there was even chance of it. Don't give into hysteria and instead actually research the geopolitics and history of iran/us and you would've realized this day 1. Rest I agree with though, not to mention not only is Australia burning but the government is completely fucking inept to deal with a outbreak and has probably let hundreds of infected carriers in with no plan on how to prevent the outbreak once they start spreading shit. Australia is literally China 2.0, I wouldn't be surprised if in the next month Australia became the next most infected place right after China. |

I don't really give a shit about politics but didn't Iran start it first by disrupting U.S. operations and Trump finally had enough and pulled out the big guns? At least that's what I read on some sources I can really care less about Coronavirus. It got blown out of proportion like the dumbasses who blew Ebola out of proportion. I'm looking forward to more space in public transportation because I'm Asian and people will think I'm diseased lul I agree Kobe was a legend but it's a shame media is just milking his death like they did with xxxTentacion and now we'll have people claiming "huhur i was his fan since day 1" |
|
| I wouldn't say it's been a horrible start. Maybe a just a bad start. I don't think ww3 is gonna happen and quite frankly i'm tried off hearing about it. I think people are just paranoid. |

| Its simple, we won't survive :) better watch as much anime as you can |
| Maybe don't base your personal happiness on political issues in far away countries which have no actual effect on you? Having a bad mentality just sets you up for failure. I've accomplished a lot in the past 3 weeks and am going to keep at it regardless of whatever Trump bullshit is occurring. |

Those who haven't lived in Australia have no clue how much Chinese influence is actually here and not just "here" like I said they come to and from China to throwaway money here [Casinos down is brisbane are literally full of Chinese throwing 10k down per bet on roulette, Australia is a hotspot for them to escape their own shitty country and blow off money]. So when considering that, even if the virus had the same effects as a simple flu it's still widespread enough that it could cause serious issues when considering how likely it's being brought in right from the quarantine zone. |

| dis world can't burn soon enough tbh |
| I hope January 2020 gets rebooted. I don't like where it's currently going. |
Daft Punk is love, Daft Punk is life  |
| welp hopefully it will not get much more worse |
| Eh, it's like this almost every year. News is just trying to get you out of Christmas holidays mood. In few months you will forget about Iran and Corona virus and go on with your lfie as usual. |
| ehh I must agree 2020 hasn't started off to a good start. The Australian fires have me mad worried for my fam in the lower states where a majority of the fires are occurring. Then our PM is an *sshole about the whole situation, so its a bit 'tuff. The rest of the world doesn't seem to be doing too good either. I haven't kept up with the news in a while, but now I'm hearing about a deadly virus and on top of that, war threats? Not looking too good, 2020. |
 |
| I was so happy 2019 was over and then this messy start to 2020. Honestly, I'll avoid anything news related and focus on my hobbies and personal life. |
 |
| My 2020 has been great so far, but maybe it's just me... |
| No doubt everyone will say the exact same shit when 2021 rolls around. |
 |
| I'm always shocked when I read back on previous years and all the things that happened in just a few consecutive weeks. So many scandals, propaganda and chaos you forget about because your brain makes room for new things.

I've accomplished a lot in the past 3 weeks and am going to keep at it regardless of whatever Trump bullshit is occurring. I like this mentality. Its important to stay in touch with the world and grasp whats going on even just superificially but some people love to use that as an excuse to be depressed and avoid their own life challenges. I think its some weird way to excuse your own failures to take in the sadness of the world or a really toxic way to cope they say shared pain is half of the pain. |

Even a guy like me, who does not care much for sports, heard of him. What a loss. |
| Yeah i feel you fam. I never really had much hope that this year would be any better than 2019. But a small part of me feels differently and i honestly can't imagine why i'dstill have any hope left. 2020 kicked off with a deadly virus, WW3 shit, and the death of an NBA icon. Things don't seem to look that good. At least 2018 wasn't that bad in terms of my personal life. Everything seemed normal then, but now it's different i suppose... |

| I’m already reveling in the chaos. Watching the dumb squirm with fear over stuff that doesn’t affect them is amusing. |
  YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE |
| What? I literally watched Vinland Saga and Kimetsu no Yaiba. Then beat Far Cry: New Dawn (lovely atmosphere squandered by a terrible plot and ha dme wishing I could side with the Highwaymen) and Everspace (fuck you for making all the good shit need dark matter/energy like that shit is just laying everywhere v_v I also flew my custom colonial interceptor into a black hole as part of my religious beliefs ) this last week. |

I looked at the entire history of ever US president every to draw from. I'm still looking for more simple patterns though. Technically nothing is impossible in elections. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-human_electoral_candidates Something unlikely doesn't mean impossible. To expect unexpected only means acknowledging small odds or the unknown not pretending they are overwhelmingly the most probable. UBI beyond at the begining is effectively meaningless in a market economy with no price controls to limit increased price tags and Yang I have yet to see propose such a thing beyond controlling prescription medication prices and lower cost of higher education. What about food? What about transportation? What about housing? His other policies are better and some are similar to what you see in third parties. |
| I thought this thread was going to more about personal things. I agree with you though |

| Didn't Trump bomb Iran, because they wanted to attack US's embassy? |
| I live in a low risk part of Australia, and I'm doing fine, it is fucking hot though and I still got my evacuation plan, take my anime dvd's take my manga, take my copy of fallout new Vegas and take my limited edition Naruto figurine, and also some clothes and water but who needs that shit |
 |
| It seems nothing out of the ordinary for me. Famous people have been dying every year. Actually accidents happen every year. P.S... I'm not downplaying Kobe's death by any means. @hazarddex thanks for pointing out the typo. |

| I agree that 2020 is the worst year yet. Not because of the events around the world but because something terrible happened that has personally affected me. Worst fucking year by far |
