So, I just watched a vlog brothers video about how 2017 isn't that bad of a year. And...I have to agree with them.
We got some great games early on, we are seeing a reduction of new polio cases, more charity giving, and a few other points that I don't remember.
What do you think? Looking back on 2017, do you think it was bad? Do you think it was a pretty decent year overall?

I find that most things get constantly worse, so looking at 2017 I have no hope for 2018.

2017 was a mixed bag, but so was the year before that, and the year before that, and so on and so forth since the year I was born way back in the late 70s.

I won't miss it. 2017 wasn't great, but it wasn't horrid either.
I dunno. For the past very long time, I've been hoping for some sort of major breakthrough. It doesn't seem likely to ever happen. But I do make small steps here and there.
Regardless, here's hoping 2018 is better.

It depends on your personal situation. i feel in general that things are generally getting worse. Yes technology has improved the lives for humans overall and has made things better/easier....but i notice the stark trend in the gap between the rich and the poor. You used to be able to say "middle class" but that term is a mere shell of what it used to be as most folks only have enough to cover for emergencies or are living from paycheck to paycheck. All of those things in terms of humans living longer and things of that nature points to technology, but are humans actually living a better way of life? Yes we are living longer, but we are also sitting longer in traffic and working longer....even those that work from home are working longer hours.....i think technology is making our life spans longer, but i don't necessarily see quality of life improving so much. I've seen and known too many people driving nice cars, decent jobs and are struggling to pay the mortgage bills..etc...some might immediately point to bad money management, but i think we just fall into this trap of "how you are supposed to function and engage in life"....it feels like alot of neverending hustle and bustle, rat-race to a melting pot of financial debt in search of some sort of prestigious relevant job title to justify your "status" A little self-projecting here..... .....but yeah overall....i feel that things are just getting worse......even with the leaps in technology we have made.

2017 has been great for me, one of my best years in a long while and it all started with a few big life changes I made late last year.
A little bit of good luck and a lot of hard work and hopefully 2018 will be even better.

2017 has been pretty good to me, all things considered, although it's obviously been a tumultuous year (but then again, name a year in modern history that hasn't been a roller coaster of good and bad). I'm looking forward to 2018 as well, as I'll be getting to take a bit of a break from school to focus on other things and hopefully come back to it with less stress and sharper focus.

Year in at NASA. For me, that's more good news. But I'll let everyone else be the judge.

On tech/environment, I think we're screwed ( 10-20 years max) unless nano tech saves us. On social/political matters, multiculturalism, liberalism and religious tolerance is on decline and will continue.

I think technology is basically the only thing that is actually moving forward consistently. When it comes to politics on the otherhand your right in that were likely fucked.

For me personally, 2017 was a difficult year. On the global scale, I think it was pretty good considering the trainwreck that was 2016.

It was a year. Pretty yearlike, overall, I think.
Just a steady decline.

I've made some money playing the stock market. (Thanks Trump?) My biggest bummer is that I sold all my Bitcoins last year, otherwise I could've been $500k richer easily. Other than that, it has been a pretty good year for me.

2017 has been a pile of refuse for me. I suffer frequent bouts of depression and anxiety, mostly from going on social media WHEN I KNOW I SHOULDN'T and seeing Trump this and Trump that. I feel sick to my stomach to see so much hatred and bigotry and greed with hardly ANY good guys in sight. I lost hope in politics (officially became an independent, fuck the democratic party), lost hope in humanity (Gamergate bullshit morphing into neo-Nazis and all the shitty underbelly of society the #metoo movement is revealing), and to top it all off, I'm a huge soccer fan and that fat turd Bruce Arena caused the USA TO NOT MAKE IT TO THE WORLD CUP FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE i'VE BEEN A FAN, a.k.a. since I was about 14 years old (i'm 37). I sat on my couch afterward and cried, and felt like a nerd for crying, but then I cried so more because FUCK THIS SHIT I cannot handle this bullshit year anymore.

Not gonna lie, it was really rough at the first half of the year but I’ve gotten some things in order, my life in order, which means that I’ll start 2018 pretty much the way I wanted it to. It wasn’t easy getting here but I usually get what I want once I set my mind to it, just proof that hard work and self determination does indeed pay off.
