There's an updated version I saw that had many more that we've lost (Greg Lake, George Michael, Andrew Sachs...), but I can't find it online.

Except, things always get worse before they get better.

 

I don't think we've hit rock bottom yet.

well Princess Leia still hasn't officially died yet

 

(can't imagine what other horrible thing could happen in 2016 but I agree that things are only gonna get worse)

Exactly.

 

There was a post on the front page of Reddit, from /r/ShowerThoughts, about how people are going to be bummed when famous people continue to die in 2017. I'm shocked that somebody had to think about that before coming to the conclusion. News flash: More people are famous than ever before, and the people who were famous when you were young are really old now, and they're gonna die. So I expect this to be the new normal going foward.

 

[and we haven't even gotten into politics yet]

You are one sorry son of a bitch.

 

You're the one who believes the airplanes are CGI. That takes quite the detachment from reality to seriously believe.

You're the one who believes the CGI airplanes are real. That takes even more detachment from reality to seriously believe.

The list of dead celebrities is quite big, like Gene Wilder, Jack Riley, Abe Vigoda, Prince, David Bowie, George Micheal, Dorris Roberts.

 

And there's also the political crap.

 

It goes without saying, but this has been one shitty year.  The sooner it ends, the better.

Considering that my mom was working on water street at the time and saw and felt the second plane hit your the delusional one.

Did she see it or just feel it? I am curious, she really said she saw the 2nd one?

Most people believe that the planes are real. Are most people detached from reality?

Both. She worked on the 20 something floor. She felt the elevator shake on the first impact and was looking out the window with coworkers when the second plane hit. The explosion shook the windows at her building blocks away.

Yeah did she just see the explosion or the actual plane hit?

She saw the plane. Many people did. You're just being a ridiculous tinfoil hat enthusiast. I don't give a fuck

what the voices in your head or Jesse Ventura tells you :o

Eh, don't get why people get so upset about celebrity deaths.

 

i do, i didn't for a really long time but i get it

 

its not about the celebrity per se, its really about their art and what it means to you personally. some people just connect with it at deeper levels. Bowie's death was something i actually mourned. like not just "awww, thats sad, RIP." i legit mourned his death. i was and still am a pretty awkward person but as my mother is a fan, i grew up listening to his music until i was his fan in my own right. as a young preteen and teenager especially, it was something that i could identify with at certain levels that i simply could not with most other things in my life. Bowie taught me it was okay to be weird, his music kept me company whenever my life was rough, and he taught me tolerance of people in general.

 

i still get teary eyed whenever i listen to that last album Blackstar. i don't know that i ever won't.

I'm trying to understand some of the references in the field. I see Brexit and the Trump hat, but the Toberone changing shape and the Leicester City victory are pretty obscure on the "Fuck 2016" spectrum.

 

If the whole year could be undone with the press of a button on the condition that the Cubs had to lose,  I'd be in line to pound that button endlessly.

I recall a review of the song (might have been Rolling Stone, but I don't think so) that said something like, "One finds themselves wishing Mr. Carroll had more friends that died", so the song would be longer.

And for those keeping score at home, in the last 2 days:  Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds & Richard Adams (author - "Watership Down").
