It's been downhill since 2020

I think 2016 was the last great year.
It got better in 2021 for a bit.
Basically at long as taco is in the office it will be miserable.
The bad things is that in first term there was that there were still competent people around him. This time he fired everyone and replaced with lackeys. Unless he is stopped, US might not recover from it.
Just looking at the recent meeting in Bejing shows how quickly USA is losing its power. And it's been only 7 months.

My ex wife cheated on me on December 28th, 2019.
I took a whole bunch of pills two weeks later that apparently are not lethal in any amount.
However, since then, I am all but convinced we live in hell, because never once in the past 5 and a half years has anything gotten better.
I'm sorry y'all. This might be the bad place.
I'm sorry but it's been hell here on Earth since at least 2015. Your own legitimately terrible events were individual symptoms of the larger pestilence. Either that or a lot of us were already in hell before you got here.

Are you fucking dumb? Do you not remember Drumpf's first term in office?
God sent us plague as a warning to not elect him, and he ended up in the office.

My theory is that Covid killed everyone and this is purgatory.
(TikTok screencap)The real insanity stems from everybody having a random lingering covid symptom that's just annoying enough to drive you insane, but not bad enough to kill you. 5 years later, I still get phantom burning smells that I can't even compare to anything I've ever smelled before. It's torture.

(TikTok screencap)Fall of 2012. Obama wins again. Weed is legal in some states. Gay marriage. Nuclear powered tank lands on Mars. iPhone 5.

The moment when Harambe died was when the timeline split.
Nah, Bowie.

In 2015?

Well I know it wasn't gay marriage... Must've been caused by the iPhone 5.

Nah, it was 2016, right before orangini and brexit.
And harambe

To me it was 9/11 that started the insanity.... Either way, if you look at movies from the 80s and movies from today, you clearly see the humanity lacking from todays movies.
Yeah its been a wild ride since 2001. I'm not even American but it felt like the whole world kinda shifted gears after that.

(TikTok screencap)It says 2019 to trick the viewer into commenting "no 2012" or 2016, since no real human thinks everything was great until 2019. It's bait for interactions.
This is an ad for McDonald's

And harambe
He was so pure of soul the Lord had to take him away before the world got fouled.

I wouldn't say things were great up until 2019, but 2020 and beyond is when things really seemed to go to shit

(TikTok screencap)2005 was the best year: France had a hot and dry summer, so the grapes got a high concentration in sugars and tannins, which gave to most wines of that year an extreme deepness and complexity.
Oh, I miss 2005 so much. -

(TikTok screencap)Same but with 2012.
Maybe the Mayan apocalypse people were right.

(TikTok screencap)It’s absolutely social media to blame imo. 10 years ago they were only just starting with the aggressive algorithms we know today. This combined with the rise of TikTok and its own algorithm has lead to a resurgence of the right. I believe this was a direct response to how progressive we seemed to be getting in the 2010s. The wealthy right were getting scared. I occasionally accidentally see YouTube “recommendations” and it’s usually unhinged right wing shit with millions of views.

(TikTok screencap)I think the last normal year was either 2012 or 2013.

It felt like maybe the 2nd Gulf War was starting to wind down a bit, and there was some hope that maybe both the US and Al-Qaeda/Islamic State were going to chill their boots a little.
The internet was at its peak in terms of usefulness versus not having been taken over and enshittified by a tiny collection of megacorporations.
The UK had just passed the Civil Partnership Act for same-sex couples, and a few other countries had something similar.
TV was getting pretty good as well.
Yeah, the 90s were still best, but 2005 was the best year since then.
