One year closer to a great day. You all know the one
that motherfucker is going to live for another 30 years.
China invades Taiwan, oligarchs take more away from us, war in Europe.

What you’re left with is a bunch of guys who are all standing in a circle trying to tell the best joke.

Earth will level up and we will all awaken the use of mana. With this we will solve the fosil fuels crisis, solve world hunger, unite humanity, create wealth parity and AI will be obsolete. But we will have to sent our earthen warriors to represent us in a battle royal against alliens whose planets also leveled up. If our warriors do well, we will unlock even more mana, but if they do badly, we won’t improve our mana capacities.
That or same as the past years, just everything a little bit shittier. I’m hoping for #1 for obvious reasons.
ah but you must be aware that the awakening of mana in humans will lead to wild animals awakening mana too. this in turn will cause most of the land on our planet to be overrun with beasts, while empowered birds and fish will make travel by boat/plane nearly impossible
Yeah, but we can teleport, also some mana users may be able to tame or create artifacts to tame some mana beasts making them essential in everyday life. But yeah, at the start it would be quite a challange, specially the oceans as they are already scary enough without monsters in them.
Goblinization you say?
I wasn’t really really going for a certain work or franchise but rather using a very commun trope in Korean comics.
Is Goblinization worth a read?
That’s what the event is called in the Shadowrun lore in which people spontaneously started to turn into all sorts of meta humans. I would argue there are Shadowrun novels worth reading, yeah
Food crisis 😔
The same since 2010. Stupid people in charge making stupid decisions in favour of the few with money.
In the US, midterms are just over a month away. New officeholderd will take office early next year. As things stand, the Democrats are very probably going to take the House of Representatives and looking more likely than not to take the Senate. Either will give them the power to conduct investigations into Executive Branch activity. I would predict unprecedented use of this power. I’d bet that a lot of Trump administration figures are going to be spending most of the next two years sitting in front of Congress being grilled and with the Executive turning over information on its activities to Congress, some which will probably wind up in the press.
Let’s pretend this isn’t a sure thing and get out any vote assuming team red is going to come out in droves!
Oh bless your bleeding heart. If only.
Best case scenario it will stop most of the damage, but with veto power from the white house, nothing will get fixed.
When you’re bleeding out, the first step is to staunch the wound. You still have to do the other steps, but you gotta do the first step first.
Yes I agree.
I sure hope you’re right; although I unfortunately don’t expect things to go that way… I don’t have much hope or faith left. :(
Democrats will take congress but they won’t do anything with their power. They never have, why would it be any different this time?
nothing good
Fuck off, no way, it’s 1998, 2027 is the distant dystopian future. 😭
- dystopian: yes
- future: yes
- distant: not so much

Disappointment?
A repeat of the 1930s in germany. Conservatives, being desperate to remain in power helping nazis gain power
The Nazis are already in power. Have you heard Steven Miller speak?

Excuse me old chum but you need to hop on the US-centric train posthaste!
(/s in case necessary, but “silly” not “sarcastic”)
hop on the US-centric train
Ah, that must be the single U.S train I’ve been hearing so much about!
Excuse me but we have like a half dozen or so! :)
Lol you’re totally right I’m just playin. That’s still way too little for such a huge country!
We really need a lot more. I rode the BART in the California Bay Area and it was awesome. I wish we could get that all over.
Just playin’ back. And we have lots more than a half dozen, but we really do need more.
I moved to Hampton Roads and actually have decent access to Amtrak (although haven’t had the money to go anywhere since we’ve been here), but the VAST majority of the nation has no easy access.
I’d much prefer that we had like half as much rail as we do air travel. I’d like it to be super common, and I’d like to take it everywhere :)
And yes, more light rail, too. We had DART add lines while I still lived in DFW, and that was nice - if you were anywhere close. heh
More pain and agony from fascists.

365 days.
We got ourselves an optimist over here!
Easily the worst “happy new years” glasses. It’s been downhill since 2020 for those.
2030 will be good too, just not as good. Kinda like going back to eat a recipe you loved as a kid, only to realize that you had it all the time because you were poor
I’m hopeful that bad things happen to people in power. It probably won’t happen, but I’m hopeful
Climate change-related deaths will go from the current millions to tens of millions
