For one, we won't have the boorish buffoon in charge of the United States. And two, we'll get on top of the COVID-19 pandemic globally. I tend to be more optimistic than pessimistic at the beginning of a new year, although I see time as a continuum—rather than as broken up into 12-month sectors. In reality of course, there's no such thing a a "new" year, and its corporate and media driven significance is in actuality bullshit, designed to dull the plebs. I'm not as confident though that we'll do anything more proactively in order to mitigate global warming—politicians of all stripes just don't care enough, as long as their parliamentary pensions are safe. I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.
No, but the-year-that-never-shall-be-named, that one ended, finally.

The world ended in 2012. Where were you?
This is all just a simulation.
I think the world will find a closer appreciation of the Great Depression before this is over.

I'm thinking that we should do predictions for 2021... I reckon that the Duke of Edinburgh will die before his 100th birthday.

I'm hoping Betty will pop her clogs this year too. Hopefully that'll accelerate Australia becoming a republic, getting rid of our fucking useless Governor-General, and pissing off the fucking Union flag from our flag's canton. In order to look like this: I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.
Yeah, no thanks.
I like the flag the way it is. (01-02-2021, 11:12 AM)SYZ Wrote: Looks like something from @FlagsMashupBot on Twitter. As for '21, I do think things will more permanently open up, but I don't think the pandemic will end, and certainly complication-related current events will continue to happen in 2021 and beyond. What? I don't know.
Is this sig thing on?

I can touch the floor with my nose.
And cheek. And forehead. Some days are better than others.
Ah, the old falling asleep while standing up trick. :-)
I fell off the back of a farm truck once. Landed in a mud puddle and didn't wake up. Long day in a series of long days.

2021 is off to a shitty start.
