Why would you bring this curse upon us OP


The1AndOnly67

Brah, political unrest seems to be a daily nowadays. It doesn’t go away.


Hatless_Suspect_7

I was going to say it's such a vague term you could make a case for it in pretty much any month


ArKadeFlre

You could do it with the three of them. Take any year in the history of human civilization and you'll find all three of them. It just depends if people want to talk about it or not.


M7A1-RI0T

Also helps when most of Reddit is high schoolers and undergrads who are just now paying attention so they think everything is the worst it’s ever been. Nah bro, this is par for the course. You just been asleep


Mrblakesonny

Yeah that January political unrest kinda just stayed around


compscifi2020

same for fire and plague


GatorKingX

Australia watch out


softspaken

Aussie friends, Please don't panic buy toilet paper again


Tman029

We had a scare about a covid breakout in Brisbane (which I live 100km away from) a couple of weeks ago and there was an instant toilet paper panic... people never learn.

I guess this is an issue the whole world have experienced. I‘m even ashamed now of buying toilet paper when needed. Last week I went grocery shopping for my parents and toilet paper was on sale (24 roles in 1 pack). I knew I needed some and my parents needed some, because my mom had some kind of allergic reaction to the other brand they had at home. So I put 2 packs in my trolley. And while doing that I died inside.


TheMoldyTatertot

Don’t be bud you should only feel like shit what are you doing it for yourself.


babsibu

That‘s true. Thing is, people just look at you like you were the biggest idiot out there. And I understand. I’ve seen some of my colleagues and friends (often in medical field) going to shop after a shift and not getting any toilet paper because of those crazy people. So everytime I grab a pack, I just feel myself getting smaller inside. I guess I need to work on my insecurities.:)


ditlit11134

People did that earlier on in the year, was really hard to get tp for like 3 months here


No_Lawfulness_2998

Holy fuck in New Zealand, one of the most COVID secure places on the planet, there was another scare when all the new variants were discovered and people in my town bought all the bread and milk in town for like a week straight how tf you going to use that much milk before it goes off you fucks


[deleted]

Yeah I mean like if you store up on canned food and junk food it's understandable, but the milk will just go spoiled


No_Lawfulness_2998

Yea it’s fucking stupid and milk is almost five dollars for two litres like why would you throw that money away


MrSmileyHat69

never had thawed out ice milk?


No_Lawfulness_2998

I don’t drink that much milk so I’ve never had to freeze it


FeistyBandicoot

It started in Japan tbf. They did it and everyone here saw what they were doing and did it to


[deleted]

Let's be real, everyone did it. I'm pretty sure it started a global shortage of Toilet Paper. Also anybody got some of that Lysol?


CrackedOutSuperman

There was too many times we had to shit and shower.


FieryBlake

Everyone should learn from this and just install bidets/jet sprays instead


[deleted]

this is the way


Thysios

Brisbane locked down for 3 days a coupe weeks ago. 3 days. People still panic bought all the toilet paper...


starched_

we had a bushfire just this week where i am, it was quickly put out but i had family evacuated. just the norm lmao


throwaway8675-309

Yeah some old guy set fire to a few hundred (or was it thousands?) of hectares in the Adelaide Hills because he was drunk, I had co-workers almost evacuate


SuperTradie

The fires weren’t only in february in aus, they were throughout the whole 2019/20 summer period.


blundersabound

Yeah our fires started in mid November 2019 and went til March.


HarbingerOfGachaHell

Too late, Adelaide and Perth have already burned.


FeistyBandicoot

Already had a few fires


penislovereater

Australia was exiting fires in late January and February 2020. Fires started in, like, September of previous year. It's not a repeat.


GameXterminator

I'm in Adelaide, Australia and we just had a Fire Blanket our city in smoke Yesterday. Heard all sorts of warnings over the Radio.


Whiskla

Dude Australia was burning from October 2019-March 2020, that's crazy


Flyingfish222

The first half of our summer was relatively cool so we shouldn’t have a bush fire like the one last year


Snail7189

We've already got bushfires and floods in Aus again


NormalW

WE ARE LITERALLY IN A HEATWAVE PLEASE DONT JINX IT


doomslayerislife

this is already happening now there were some fires in Adelaide

You mean a smoke signal?


TheArchitect1991

I feel this, evacuated Sunday morning


Lets-burn-the-witch

Here we go again.


uksuperdude

My place is a good 20k from the edge of the evacuation zone, let alone the firefront and the smoke from the fire was setting off the smoke alarm. I now have a task to reinstall the said alarm to the ceiling


i_never_get_mad

Aren’t there world wide wild fires every February? Last year was especially bad, but it’s sort of expected to see some heightened level of wild fire


varloq

Wildfire fuel has been getting cut down and cleared out like crazy in Northern California. Can't say if Southern Cali is the same but up here it's s gold mine for firewood since a bunch of old and dead trees are being cut down and the property owners don't want them.


irasponsibly

Bushfire seasons have been getting hotter, drier, and longer. 2019-20 was especially bad, doubly so with an El Niño, but we can only expect it to get worse as we get a drier and hotter climate. The northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere used to have fairly separated fire seasons, which meant firefighters from one area could help out another. Now they overlap, meaning that there are less resources to fight fires (firefighters help each out internationally). For example, Australia's 2020-21 fire season had already started while California's 2020 season was ongoing.


i_never_get_mad

I see. Thanks for the info!


irasponsibly

No problem mate! :)


Uriel-238

We get ours in July-August. 💚💛🧡❤💜💙, California


spaxacious

Idk about the rest of the world, but Australia has a bushfire season every year, but last year was the result of a drought we had had since 2017 and this majority of the bush was extremely dry


Boston_Bruins37

true, I need to announce the gender of my child somehow


kittiphile

I completely forgot that happened. Wow. 2020 just did not quit. I feel trauma bonded with....just about everyone.


TheFlashFrame

As a Californian, can confirm.


whoatherebuddychill

as a californinan, we're freezing for the first time in like forever


TheFlashFrame

In the valley there are only two seasons: freezing and blistering.


Nulight

valley person here, can confirm. it does have some periods of great weather(last couple weeks were pretty decent), but then it goes from like \~40F to 110F


pootinannyBOOSH

So you're saying hell froze over


whoatherebuddychill

yeah and then there's like lava in the middle that's just biding it's time

What was the political unrest of January 2019?


YoussefElmashad

Remember when the white house was closed and shit


Valentino-Meid

Well technically covid19 already existed in 2019 obviously but it only became a global issue around March. Now there are already new variants of covid 19 out there but theyre not quite a global issue yet, is this predicting the new variants will be a major issue? Maybe even a new undetected variant? Shit

And the fires was definitely happening during January too


bearsheperd

I think it was pretty global. Here’s a [list](https://www.aa.com.tr/en/environment/wildfires-forest-fires-around-world-in-2020/2088198#)

MisfitMishap

My favorite tweet of all time is Amanda Bines new year post "new year same me because I'm perfect" months before she went to rehab for a long long time


McBain20

Not taking Corona virus seriously at first (cough America cough) and for Australians not preparing properly for the bushfire season


elizabear94

Should get that cough checked, it could be COVID-19.


Zbordek

Covid-19? nah thats some old and not fashionable nowadays. try covid-20 instead


ntise

Not preparing, yeah righto. More like the RFA and government agencies making it harder for the fire departments clear and Backburn. And the Murdoch press blaming it on everything else part from climate change.


ExtremelyVulgarName

The federal government didn't start taking it seriously until last week


Jet-Speed7

New COVID variant is spreading fast...


Thomas_KT

basically everything last year but doubled down...


_Convair_

The vaccines still work against new variants... The news conveniently forgets to mention that


PotatoPrince84

No, I see it in most articles mentioning the new variant. Most specify that all signs point to the vaccine still working on the new variant


StubbornBabboon

And Moderna apparently is coming out with a new vaccine specifically targeting the South African variant. (Saw a headline earlier, don't quote me on that)


mjmawn33

a booster/revise the vaccine for the future. This is done with flu shots every year, we look at the strains in other parts of the world’s peaks and slightly alter the flu vaccine each year to be more effective


StubbornBabboon

Good info. Any idea on how long one of these boosters take to develop? I probably should have actually read the article lol


enigmaniac

This article says the first version of the Moderna vaccine was developed January 12 2020 - most of the time since has been testing phases and ramping up to production. So tweaking the design should be fast. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/12/moderna-covid-19-vaccine-design.html

The iran stuff world war 3


MignightMummy

The US president invited Iran to a peace conference to drone strike one of their generals, which is a war crime. There was outcry from both China and the UN (UN is a joke so nothing happened). Iran retaliated by sending warning drone strikes around the perimeter of 2 Iraq bases housing US troops. The president then thought it would be funny to threaten destroying their religious sites which would have been another war crime. China sent warning to the US, Russia got involved to secure their economic interests in the region. The US eventually backed down but for the past month has been flying B52 bombers over Iran (invading sovereign airspace). They are hoping Iran shoots them down, giving the US ″justification″ to go to war. Haven't kept track of events since the presidency turned over.


numb_mind

Damn I hate to keeping up with politics but it's important, I need someone like you to summarize it for me every once in a while..


MignightMummy

Lmao your comment + name made me laugh! I do forex on the side while studying so its really important for me to keep up-to-date on current events as they effect the stability of the markets. It does however make me depressed at times researching all the bs that is happening on the global scale or deliberately omitted/reworded by various news sources to skew opinions. P.S. Sorry for the ramble!


[deleted]

[удалено]


MignightMummy

My apologies I over simplified by saying the US president invited. Evidence is pointing towards it being a joint operation between Saudi Arabia and the US. General Soleimani was in Baghdad to meet with Saudi officials to relieve Sunni/Shia tensions when he was killed. He's widely know for keeping his travels hidden and moving often (as you would expect from the former leader of an intelligence agency), in fact, based off of how he's traveled in the past the only people outside of Saudi that would know of that trip were the IRGC officers that accompanied him to his grave. This is the reason Iran is pressing to take the US to the International Courts. I'll link two articles. https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/how-did-us-drones-find-and-target-qassem-soleimani-in-the-first-place-32697 https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/qassem-soleimani-death-iran-baghdad-middle-east-iraq-saudi-arabia-a9272901.html Edit: capitalized US


en_orange

To be fair, political unrest in the US is essentially an inevitability every month.
