Feels like nothing has made sense since 2015. Britain decides it's tired of being relevant and lets a man with a mop for hair sink it's economy, the US elects another weird-hair man who guts their emergency regulations (hope that doesn't come back to bite them), somehow the Nazis returned, North Korea gets the bomb, aliens swing by us and then say "fuck no" and swing right the fuck away, the Saudis let women drive, Xi becomes dictator-for-life and decides to clone monkeys and genetically engineer people because that worked out SO WELL for Major Zero, the Japanese Emperor doesn't have the decency to die so he makes his son Naruto Emperor, the Pope says "hey, let's not keep secrets about the kids we diddled", that fucking US President salutes a goddamn North Korean general and meets with Kim, some watermelon seller decides to turn a museum into the world's strictest yoga studio, and oh yeah, someone decides to eat a fucking bat which led to my fucking best friend dying and the Second Great Fucking Depression. The US Capitol gets breached by out of shape dad military larpers, Bitcoin becomes a national currency, Twitter gets bought loses it's value and changes it's fucking name, the Japanese political guy with the same name as that BDSM Yu-Gi-Oh Card decides to die when some kid makes a makeshift fucking gun in his basement between anime goon sessions (also gooning is a thing now). The Queen dies, Gorby my beloved Basedstroika dies despite having a secret clone body hidden in a far-off planet to transfer his soul into, AI is real except it's really fucking dumb and can't draw fingers or tell you correct information and instead of making our lives easier it's putting everyone out of work including fucking artists, people aren't even pretending the Economy can recover anymore and we're all just going to be stuck in this Second Great Depression forever. As Irish, I get all the high cost of living of Scandinavia or Germany but the "wait on a trolley till you die" healthcare of the UK, all the corrupt politicians of Zimbabwe, all the local amenities and services of McMurdo Station, and all the fucking LGBT community of Tehran. Worst of all, World War 3 is a proxy war between North and South Korean artillery shells, Iranian and Ebay drones, Cold War guns (as in, literally made in 1964 and probably not oiled since the US left the Gold Standard), WW2 propaganda, WW1 tactics, Crusade-era Middle Eastern tensions, Starcraft camera angles, exploding drones right out of fucking Call of Duty and the piloting tactics from the Robin Williams film Toys. Considering they dibs'd WW4 to be sticks and stones, that means I have to wait until fucking WW5: Return of the German Aggression for the Big Funny. -.-
