Godspeed. Me too.
Godspeed to you as well.
I hope that I get to reverse the trend of my quality of living plummeting.
Best of luck on that
Get those shelves on the wall. Maybe manage to decide on a new couch. That'd be nice.
Get those shelves on the wall
Eeeeh.... You can do that tomorrow, hey? shrugs
Nope, can't. The walls are made of concrete, I think, some other 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?
Funny you should say that, I'm on 60 mg of extended release methylphenidate a day.
Not die in the coming global wars for resources. But I mean realistically Iβm not well positioned for that.
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"!
I mean you gotta do what you gotta do π€·ββοΈ
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.

Survival
Moving out of the city into or near the mountains
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
I would like to buy some land. And start prepping for the shit show.
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?
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.

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. Sheβs still pregnant with our first so weβll see. I love kids so Iβd probably want more than one.
Cardiac arrest
Hope you have a good cardiac lawyer
Survive as well as possible. Might not but oh well.
Build myself a new life in Australia, get a motorbike and do lots of road trips, and maybe start a family.
A consistent beautiful high kickflip.
Work through my Steam library.
The most unlikely thing here
FIRE numbers.
Fire body for me π₯ποΈββοΈπ₯
Go solar
Die. I have no hope left in pretty much anything. But I am also hoping to be surprised, I guess.
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.
Escape velocity.
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
A threesome with my wife and another woman π
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
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.
Who knows, I might finish my novella someday.
Same as the past 10 years. Get a job.
Keep my sanity
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 itβs 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 sheβs 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.
girlfriend and driver's license
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.
Get shit back on track I guess. On the one hand I shouldn't have much to complain. I own an apartment, have enough money to get by and buy myself something nice every now and then. But mentally and physically I'm a bit of a trainwreck at the moment. Burnt out and unsure what I really want from all of this. I kept going on too long in a state that provided me everything I wanted on paper, but somehow caused a lot of trouble in practice. Ignored my hobbies for so long that I don't really know how to start with them again. I need my younger spirit back. The one that just did things because it sounded fun without overthinking or focusing on the end result. But I feel like corporate life has poisoned me to think in results and plan everything in advance.
