Not sure where it originated, but I first heard it to refer to a group of D&D players who, for all intents and purposes, live in the woods and emerge to kill things and loot their corpses, maybe the people being slaughtered are evil, maybe they just got a little annoying while haggling, maybe they just had a really cool coat someone wanted. Who knows!
I think that's what happened on Earth Prime and we're in one of those alternate-reality "What if?" comic book Earths. What if the villain known only as Hanging Chad hadn't been stopped?
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.
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.
"We just kinda figured maybe you'd make something neat under pressure, but it appears you made TikTok and global pandemic instead." The spokesman went on to suggest that maybe they should go back an extra year, just for good measure. "We want to give everyone a chance to reconsider their actions. Although I was personally in favor of an extra year, the council has decided that 2015 is an acceptable starting point." The spokesman then left the podium to the Chronometric Operations, Observation and Managment representative.
I like the theory that the Mayans were absolutely correct: the world does end on 21 December 2012.
But "the world ending" doesn't just happen all at once like flipping the switch of existence.
No, it ends by falling apart, disintegrating, devolving into chaos. Slowly at first, but compounding in speed and severity. Still, fast by "end of the world" standards may very well be "almost imperceptibly slow at first" to the human frame of reference.
In short: the world started to end right when the Mayans said it would. We're just starting to realize it now.
The comic is saying that the overlords purposely threw in some very wacky conditions in 2015 just to see how we'd respond, so the idea we're saying is that we'd like to go back to X year and go forward but without the wacky settings in the simulator.
everyones giving their preference. I would take the 70's just after the mandatory draft was out. Was basically when we had a chance to deal with global warming and you would not believe the dilapadated mansions some poor people lived in. Where they old and worn. yes. were they effin huge with a decent amount of property not far from cities. yes. also families were being supported on one income. oh and pensions were a thing.
Interesting times to see "The Illuminati" make a comeback.
Icke maintains that he is not an anti-Semite, and that he is criticizing not real Jews, but 12-foot-tall alien lizard people, many of whom just happen to be posing as Jews.
Depends on who you are and what part of the planet you lived in. There were a lot of good things about the 90's, but it was a pretty dark time for most minorities, especially anyone in the LGBT+ group. Heck the US didn't allow same sex marriage universally until 2015, and the first state didn't allow it until 2004. Even outside the US, I don't think any country allowed equal marriage rights until into the 2000's.
