    people say the date is dependent on the person but 2015 is basically before trump and qanon and such. So I don’t think OP is saying 2015 is the best year just that after 2015 was just craziness.

        Everything we do still counts. The faster we reduce carbon emissions, the less catastrophic the climate will get for our civilization.

        And the emissions are still increasing.

        Going back to 1960 would help us prevent Republicans from adopting the southern strategy and basically creating all modern problems

        yeah thats the problem. There would be time but it would be the same folks trying to do something and the same folks fighting it and the same either ignoring or being ignorant of it.

      My longtime girlfriend left me the first week of 2016. It led to a lot of personal growth that would’ve never happened otherwise but I cannot downplay just how shocking it was for our mutual friend group. Memories of back then seem unrecognizable now.

      David Bowie died the second week of 2016 and things kept going downhill from there.

      I was entrenched in media in 2015 and it was an unbelievably entertaining year. Of course I like politics so Trump’s presidential run was pretty fucking funny.

        My big thing was making fun of brexit with a british friend and trump got elected briefly afterwards. In both cases I don’t think either of us thought it would really happen before it did.

          Genuinely its been so shocking. Who would have thought hundreds of millions of people’s discontent could be used to vote for brexit and trump and bring the entire world down a path towards extremism. I thought things were pretty okay in 2015, and all of those people thought the world needed a shocking shake up of the way things are done.

            yeah honestly things had been generally improving after the housing crash. It was a nice, slow, steady, improvement that went into mr toads wild ride.
