Expensive. Everything is now so damn expensive suddenly.

[-] systemglitch@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Exactly what I came to say.

[-] rosymind@leminal.space 2 points 11 months ago

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

The Year of Loss.

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

[-] ForestOrca@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago

Condolences on your losses. I've never missed my sanity, much.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago

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

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 11 points 11 months ago

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

Late stage capitalism on steroids

[-] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 18 points 11 months ago

As someone else put it: 2020-4

[-] GingeyBook@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Poggervania@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Not great, but it absolutely could have been worse.

[-] OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social 10 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] pythonhugs@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Dumpster fire

[-] Behaviorbabe@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago

The ideations usually wear off before noon.

[-] Nonameuser678@aussie.zone 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Kissinger died, so looking up

[-] neidu@feddit.nl 8 points 11 months ago

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

Rest in piss, ghoul

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

The middle of the end.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

I'd rate it two out of five stars.

[-] Bluehood380@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Continuation to hell/shit

[-] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 months ago

Too fucking close to 1.5C for our sakes

[-] Eh_I@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I think 2023 works as a label.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

The year of great changes yet to come.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 5 points 11 months ago

I miss the 80s.

A foreshadowing of what 2024 will bring us.

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago
[-] Pirasp@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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

[-] ForestOrca@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

It's about 11 out of 12.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I finally remember the fact that Loreen existed.

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

We all left Reddit. And Twitter.

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

[-] sour@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

reddit migration

[-] Blamemeta@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

More of the same.

[-] DarkMessiah@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] rip_art_bell@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Annoying on many levels

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Dvixen@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

The year of exclusion and wanting to cease existing.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 2 points 11 months ago

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

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