Godspeed to you as well.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope that I get to reverse the trend of my quality of living plummeting.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

Best of luck on that

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Get those shelves on the wall. Maybe manage to decide on a new couch. That'd be nice.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Get those shelves on the wall

Eeeeh.... You can do that tomorrow, hey? shrugs

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nope, can't. The walls are made of concrete, I think, some hard as fuck material in any case, so drilling is a massive undertaking that requires a hammer drill. Also don't have all the materials because I forgot to mention "have the energy to go to the store to get materials".

Have you considered getting an ADHD diagnosis?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Funny you should say that, I'm on 60 mg of extended release methylphenidate a day.

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not die in the coming global wars for resources. But I mean realistically I’m not well positioned for that.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Congratulations! You get to be a low-level henchman. If you're lucky, some actor in the distant future will play you in the movie adaptation and they may even get assigned a designation like "Henchman #7" or "Blue shirt Henchman"!

Your question fell right after a post of this comic in my feed.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In reality it may be different and the terminator will also look different he will most likely be smaller and in camouflage and there will be no point in shooting you will be immediately arrested and eliminated so you know reality is cruel you are not a hero in it you are just almost nobody. Oh I couldn't resist and answered...

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Heroes are everywhere, but you're right they don't generally look like Rambo 🀣

Well, a real hero is much more tragic... It can even be painful to watch his tears, his despair, how he scratches the ground with his nails, cries, bleeds, but does what he must, and in the end dies not like everyone else, but proudly, like a wolf, even though it may seem pathetic.

Slow down, do less, achieve less, buy less, worry less. More casual hanging out with trees, birds and lizards in my neighborhood. Eat the rich.

Moving out of the city into or near the mountains

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

To have, on balance, made my life better more than worse.

Should be married and own a house by then assuming I don't catastrophically fuck something up.

Hopefully a dog

[–] islapollo@piefed.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Buy a house.

Get a second vehicle.

Hopefully get a better job or a few promotions.

Maybe a second kid if the first time around works out okay and the wife wants another. She’s still pregnant with our first so we’ll see. I love kids so I’d probably want more than one.

[–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would like to buy some land. And start prepping for the shit show.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Preferably somewhere with fewer people, preferably in a village or even in a forest far from civilization, or will you arm yourself to the teeth and defend your fortress from from marauders and others?

[–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not sure. I think I would like to be more self sufficient at a minimum. Gardening, hunting, fishing.

But to answer your question, probably. And hope it doesn't come to that.

[–] SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Still, firearms are a good idea in a pinch, although crossbows can also be used to hunt animals and eliminate opponents.

Hope you have a good cardiac lawyer

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Build myself a new life in Australia, get a motorbike and do lots of road trips, and maybe start a family.

Survive as well as possible. Might not but oh well.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Play guitar on stage for first time

I hope I will be able to release my third indie-game about life after singularity. For now have only one released, but it is going strong.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Work through my Steam library.

The most unlikely thing here

[–] arsCynic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

A consistent beautiful high kickflip.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Die. I have no hope left in pretty much anything. But I am also hoping to be surprised, I guess.

[–] Trent@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Escape velocity.

[–] monovergent@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Getting some personal projects and bucket-list items done:

  • Fixing my sleep schedule and other health habits
  • Getting back to my pre-COVID gym schedule
  • Making my own mechanical keyboard
  • Learning about 3D modelling and acquiring a 3D printer
  • Organizing and curating my 6 TB data hoard
  • Start learning a new language or polishing up the one I learned in high school
  • Finding better furniture and decor, preferably the old kind without particle board
  • Travelling

As always the right lottery numbers, so far I never got it right but it is what I hope to achieve in the next 5 years

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

A threesome with my wife and another woman 😎

[–] Lazhward@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Who knows, I might finish my novella someday.

[–] CoffeeTails@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Same as the past 10 years. Get a job.

[–] mugita_sokiovt@discuss.online 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm an aspiring Vtuber focused right now on narrating for one of three YouTube channels I'm associated with (that being Cocules Reddit Readings), but I want to expand on that in the future once I get myself out there with proper connections.

I do this, however, using Linux and FOSS. My producer does his channels the exact same way.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

girlfriend and driver's license

Keep my sanity

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 1 week ago

get rid of first the anxiety, then the old mouldy house so we can put up a new one i've designed.

also finish that design.

[–] happydoors@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Took a hit professionally to move states and get out of and escape a few years of bad employers. Now I have a part-time job where I feel overqualified but it’s essentially the same price for me to be a stay-at-home dad most of the time with my new baby. So, I really hope that when she’s 5, I can have some semblance of challenge and purpose outside of fatherhood again. I am a video director so some sense of creating art for fun again would be nice, too.
