The enduring acceptance of the single vote, the resulting two-party “system”, and the resulting cynical acceptance of “lesser of two evils” (i.e. corporate-compromised) candidates to represent humans in government.

The Citizens United Supreme Court decision, establishing “corporate personhood” and unlimited political donations as “protected free speech”. L.M.A.O.

Electing Donald Trump as President of the United States. L.M.A.O.

And worst of all, all of the above leading to short-term corporate profiteering at the expense of the global environment, possibly leading to the human-caused end of all human life, not to mention countless species of non-human life.

The woman I have been working with this week. She-never-shuts-up. Not even when I went to the bathroom, she was still babbling away oblivious. Fuck…one-more-day and she will be gone. lol

Zaku stole my list. The election of DT was an epic failure.

Having a spilt personality calling the human resource officer a H.R. NSFW at an interview.

^^ The truth shall set you free, bro. LOL. I did that for kicks a few times when I didn’t need a job. I just didn’t like all the hospitals in my area being bought up by health insurance cartels. Conflict of interest. It felt good to give the HR punks a bad afternoon. Fucking BSAs and MBAs without healthcare backgrounds have no business in healthcare.

But you gotta do it under a false name, pal.

The Teton Dam failure.

The growing ineffectiveness of antibiotics. Epic, if not slow in occurrence.

The Versailles Treaty.

Well…I considered Trumps election to just be the no-brainer of epic fails so I offered up a different EF. haha

@kritiper “The Teton Dam failure” beat me to it. Kinda hard to top that. Just think, a good majority of our dams were built in the “hurry up and build it” care-free era of rapid industrialization.

The human race.
We still get “Does not play nice together” on our report cards.

ARE_you_kidding_me's avatar

We play together about like every other average organism on this rock.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Yeah the ones with the bigger rock wins, or rules.

ragingloli's avatar

and still you apes think you are better than the other animals.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Hey as long as we have the bigger rock, you bet your ass we do.^^^

No failure will be more epic than not universally acknowledging the reality of global warming and seriously preparing for its effects.
