With about 1 month to go, how would you label 2023?

Expensive. Everything is now so damn expensive suddenly.

The Year of Loss.

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

2016, Part 8

Greed Unhinged.

As someone else put it: 2020-4

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

W year

Shitter than most, not as shit as it's gonna get.

Bought an apartment to live in and finally live on my own at nearly 30-years-old.

So big W personally, kind of a L financially since everything is getting crazy expensive and I now have to pay a mortgage and bills lol.

Not great, but it absolutely could have been worse.

I slept through most of it. What I was awake for was expensive and uninspiring.

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

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

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

Dumpster fire

The ideations usually wear off before noon.

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

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

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

Rest in piss, ghoul

Kissinger died, so looking up

I'd rate it two out of five stars.

The middle of the end.

Too fucking close to 1.5C for our sakes

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

The year of great changes yet to come.

I think 2023 works as a label.

Continuation to hell/shit

A mix of 2022 and 2024

A foreshadowing of what 2024 will bring us.

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

mid

I miss the 80s.

It's about 11 out of 12.

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

I finally remember the fact that Loreen existed.

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

We all left Reddit. And Twitter.

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

reddit migration

Annoying on many levels

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

More of the same.

The year of exclusion and wanting to cease existing.

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

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

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

Less disastrous than the past few years.

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