Seriously, why is math so hard? Would people pushing this crap accept payment with a nine dollar bill?

The millennium BS was bad enough, but at least they had an excuse of selling more beer.

Damn, I guess I'm getting old and started looking for something to bitch about.

Happy New Year! And um, yeah, nobody seems to celebrate the new year on Dec. 1st, so it could be worse...

We didn't even start keeping track of AD/BC until what, the 5th or 6th century? Who knows what mistakes were made before then.

I'd rather think of a decade as x0-x9 than think about 1980 as being in the '70s.

Agreed.

2000 is in the 90's? Nah.

Your logic is flawed.

"0" is the beginning of the year of "1"

The actual count is:

yyyy.dd.MM.hh.mm.ss

Year(s),day(s),Month(s)hours,minutes.

So at one second after midnight, you are one second in year "1" of the second decade of 2000. That first year ends on Midnight 2020, and the second year begins, 2021 and one second.

Just as a person is "1 year old" at end of their "0" year.

The "end" of Zero (as if) is the beginning point of the integer 1.

Decades begin with years ending in 0. Centuries and Millennia begin with years ending in 1. It's counter-intuitive but that's how it's counted.

What difference does it make? A new decade, oh wow!!!!!!!!! The got damn mortgage still has to be paid, I still have to go to work, still have to drive my ass up to the grocery store every week. Nothing changes but some bullshit on tv yacking about it. Ignore it, move on. Most of society is wrapped around some bullshit.

I just wonder what the twenty-teens decade will be remembered for. Not music, not movies, not TV, not hair styles. Not cars. Smart phones is all I got.

And apps. #imbeciles. IG Influencer assholes, etc. Kids to Grandpa all hooked on the got damn internet phone like a junkie on heroin. The apps, the net, is their reality. The real world is the fake one to them. 10 years ago we didn’t have all this bullshit with everyone looking down, even when they drive vehicles down the freeway. People don’t even talk to each other anymore. They use a screen keyboard and keep it to a certain amount of characters. I saw a lady at the gym today, a grown woman of 40, using both her thumbs texting, I mean it look like Flash Gordon.

I’d give anything to shut all the phones off for a few days just to look at everyone and laugh as they flip the fuck out. Ohmygerd, my phone doesn’t work! They’d lose their fucking minds. I think many would kill themselves. To me it’s an epidemic that spawned over the last 10 years and just gains speed every year. Follow us on Instacrap, like us on Fakebook, Twat me on the twatter. Make sure you subscribe and click that deal so you get INSTANT notifications. I’ve talked to young folks this year, they are just fine watching films on their phones and don’t see the need for a tv, or go to the movies. Their whole life is on that got damn phone. So sad.

I have not thought about this either.

More concerned about the year 2525.

2020, the end of a new decade or beginning of a new one?

There are some great arguments for both, several here and a ton of then online.

I've read the ones here and a lot of those on line and have come to this conclusion...I don't care.

Regardless, whichever it turns out to be, no matter which camp is right, it ain't gonna change my life one bit and there are lots of other things for me to be concerned about.

Like finding a Sig Romeo Zero to put on my XL.

Like making sure the pork roast and sauerkraut is perfect for dinner so my wife is pleased with me.
