Honestly 2024 has been the worst year of my life, it can **** right off. This year really cant be any worse, unless I die which I wouldn't mind too much.

Wishing everyone a great year.

I'm sorry 24 was not great for you. Was it even worse than 2020? COVID really messed with me. My outlet is basketball. I play 4-5 times a week and watch basketball. That all went away. Had a family member have a severe reaction to a vaccine that still has caused her issues. It was a tough year.

2024 was great for me. Finally found my forever home, which will soon have a mini full court in it. Work was great, but had a slow time summer season for the first time in 7 years, so really got to enjoy the warm weather, especially with lighter than usual forest fire activity by me. On top of that the stock market performed amazing when all the "experts" said we'd have a big recession.

Also had a frivilous lawsuit hanging over my former employer's head (and I was dragged into it) for four years. I won't get into details, but it truly was an abuse of the legal process by the other party. After a long process, arbitrator decided everything in our favor earlier this year.

I'd be ecstatic if 25 is as good as 24 was for me. Fingers crossed, but I can see a lot of potential things that may make this year tough for many.
 
Went outside last night to see the fireworks at midnight. Crazy amount of smoke in the street, a building down the street was on fire. Read today that at one point Austin had 15 active fires. People are really dumb with fireworks.

A guy I work with is out of Austin and is the president of a large pyro club. They do organized events, though.

Great start to the year with another USA mass murder.

The craziest part about that was the FBI stating it wasn't a terrorist attack. It was a Muslim guy flying an ISIS flag with a bomb in the truck. The local police said it was a terrorist attack, then the FBI swept in making a statement they were taking control of the investigation and that it was not a terrorist attack, no terrorism happened in New Orleans, nope, don't believe the lying police or your own eyes because this wasn't terrorism. Then only after the entire world said "yeah, sure, whatever you say FBI" did the FBI back down to admit that maybe it was a terrorist attack. Trump really needs to clean house at the FBI.

Fireworks are stupid. It's stupid that anyone even does them.

I'm not a huge fan of fireworks, but have set them off for kids a bunch of times. Never had anything close to causing injury or fire.

The problem is not the fireworks. The problem is too many stupid people. Some have fireworks.

They're illegal here but everyone seems to have them. I used to buy them as a teenager my cousin and i would make all sorts of **** with them. Good times.

Your track record of walking into my very obvious setups doesn't speak well of you on this story and your response.

You gotta try to stop being such a dupe. (maybe could be your new year resolution?)



My apologies to everyone else, as this really doesn't need to be a political thread.
