What needs to stay in 2015?

[Pam-the-Lamb]

 We should leave all these non-festive Christmas adverts in 2015 tbh like that "Chasing Stars" piano cover that plays over everything despite only a small portion sounding like the actual song.

1. Hotline Bling. If it turns 2016 and I hear Hotline Bling every time I try to go out and have fun, I might just never leave my house.

Trevor Noah states this is holding half-black people back.  I think this is valid.

2. Minions. I don't want them in 2017 either. Or 2018. I'll personally declare war on them if they don't get out of my life.

I don't know what this is.

I see people talking about "the dress" a bunch but ehhh that one personally never bothered me, I found it interesting to try to force myself to see it as white and gold.

It's black and blue or gold and white depending on the way your brain corrects something, someone did some tests with the lighting on the basic dress and it ended up making sense.  Yet apparently this was not mentioned much ;/

1. Donald Trump running for president. I mean seriously, enough said.

I find him amusing especially since he won't win, and it is so far a worthy sequel to his 2011 running.  I believe in the conspiracy that he was planted to ruin the Republican party.

2. Roger Goddell. He's not running the NFL well, just saying.

Which commissioner has?

3. Deflategate. "He did it." "He didn't do it." "You're an idiot." "You're a hater." I'm tired of hearing about it.

dae pats are cheaters is a tiring narrative spoken by haters

Can we leave "____ and chill" in 2015 as well?

no

Man buns. Glitter beards. The kardashians.

Also yes this obsession with massive eyebrows needs to leave.

yes except the eyebrows part because my eyebrows are naturally big ;/

The phrases "cheeky Nando's with the lads", "on fleek" and anybody that refers to them and their gaggle of muppets as "the squad"

i heard cheeky nandos for the first time this year and i was so mad because i love nandos

"the squad" is funny in certain contexts, but again a few of this stuff was urban slang like 2-3 years ago that the masses have ruined.  see:  salty, i was saying that nonsense before the internet got ahold of it and butchered it.



Anyway, the 2015 Ravens season needs to stay in 2015.  I have nothing to look forward to on Sundays anymore, especially now where all I have left to look forward to is Jimmy Clausen turning the ball over and the rest of our team getting more and more injured.  Is there a way we can just forfeit the rest of our games?  Cause we ain't winning against Pittsburgh or Cincinnati.

[Kpyna]

I don't know what this is.

how did you survive this year without knowing what a minion is?

and ik about the dress... it's blue and black irl but if i looked at it when i was really tired or after focusing intensely on something it would look white and gold. thus my non scientific conclusion that people who see it white and gold have stupid eyes

they also related it to eye color with brown eyed people having a better chance of seeing white and gold and light colored eyes having a better chance of seeing blue and black

[SirBlaziken]

There's also the massive amount of stupid memes on facebook and elsewhere on the interwebs with the minions. The Minions movie wasn't even that great.

Welcome back old Cleveland, this is new cleveland. We look at that every week yet we still watch. At least you guys actually have next year as a hope.

[Pam-the-Lamb]

 The Minion mum-memes on Facebook where there'll be a picture of a Minion with some text next to it that says something like "who needs coffee wen u still have vodka?".

[SirBlaziken]

That's exactly where I was going with that, thank you.

[Lord Raven]

how did you survive this year without knowing what a minion is?

i dont have cable and i guess everyone on my facebook is like in their 20s and doing better things with their life idk

Welcome back old Cleveland, this is new cleveland. We look at that every week yet we still watch. At least you guys actually have next year as a hope.

don't even go there

maybe cleveland browns fans that will go "oh your season sucks but ours is so much worse hahahaha" will finally shut the hell up after 2015 too

you guys don't have high expectations every year
you guys don't go 12 one-score games in a row and end up 4-8 in that span
you guys generally do not have hope or expectations
you guys are also generally not even hated nationally except by baltimore fans who are sick of the factory of sadness treating us like crap or bringing this crap up every single time we complain about something

so stop, i may not be used to bad seasons but this season is actually borderline horrifying at this point.  we have zero winnable games with our current roster, and none of them have really been winnable since @Cleveland which should not have been a game we won.  we've also lost some games because the refs came out and said "wow baltimore wouldn't won if we didn't blow a procedural call like we did in those games".  there was a lot of crap like that.

you also don't have like 20 players, of which like 13 were starters or meant to be starters or something, on IR.  we had four tight ends who were all above average, but 2 are on IR, one is injured, and one is suspended for four games.  we have literally one WR left on our roster that was there in the opening week.  our starting OLB?  gone with an achilles tear.  Ngata and McPhee?  gone to the NFC North.  our right tackle forgot how to play.  our left guard forgot how to play, our left tackle until like 2 games ago (when he was finally benched) was absolutely horrific, the worst player in the league by far.  our top two RBs are gone, our QB injured his ACL and missed a start for the first game since I was your age.

I can go on and on, but nobody ever expects anything from the Browns, so your problems are much much different from mine.  Your team flat out sucks.  Our team does not suck generally, and our team hasn't had this few wins since our inaugural season.  I am still allowed to complain about this absolute nightmare of a season, where we could've been great if it weren't for Terrell Suggs going on IR after week one.

the patriots don't even have an offense you guys can put a sock in it
im joking don't crucify me

[The name master]

My virginity err.... I mean Justin Bieber! And 1-D

[Lord Raven]

justin beiber would be the answer to "What needs to stay in high school"

because he's been a thing since I was in high school, can the media pls get over him now

[the bread dragon]

honestly justin bieber isn't that bad. to my knowledge hes a lot less of a prick than what he had been before, and he's not going anywhere with his music at the popularity that it's at.

one direction won't go anywhere either, they have much too devoted a fan base to ever let that happen. same with bieber

[Kerou 犠牲]

One Direction are going on hiatus lol, although it'll be massive whennthey reunite unless Zayn and / or Harry have big enough solo careers that make the rest fall by the way side I guess

Both them and Bieber are overhated these days. A lot of worse music out there.

[Lord Raven]

in general i don't like either of their music but i'm going to point out (wrt justin bieber):  i'm sick of the media's treatment and fascination of child stars because it's contributing to the problems of our society

that is why this nonsense needs to stay in the past

[Milsap]

Both them and Bieber are overhated these days. A lot of worse music out there.

The fandom surrounding Bieber and One Direction is no different to the fandom of Elvis and The Beatles. The difference now is we have social media.

I would like to see the Beliebers and Directioners stop trying to dictate who the artists should be seeing though.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

The Kardashians, the accusations that Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend killed her (I think it was a suicide due to her final tweet), Donald Trump in general, the current Star Wars buzz (I am already sick of hearing about a movie that I have no interest in and that I "should" see it. I'm ready to smack the next person who says to me. HARD), and the homophobic Kim Davis and other anti gay marriage supporters.
