I'm afraid to list terrible things that haven't happened to me, because 2016 will just take up the fucking challenge.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2016.

The only thing that redeems this year for me is friends and family. They've been the only bright spots in a year of dismal events. I've had to quit listening to NPR; they aren't even close to the impartial reporting I used to rely on. I despise half of America for voting for that Cheeto-faced numbnuts and then my year ended with the fucking shit topping on a shit sundae. Fuck cancer and fuck 2016.
But, friends and family keep the light on for me and come through when the chips are down. So, I am at least thankful for always having that in my life.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Holy shit, Tom. That's… remarkable? Depressing? Validating? All of the above, I think.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
