2024 is ending in 5 days and 2025 is coming in, What do you plan to do once 2025 kicks on?
This isn't really a resolution kind of a question, it's more like a question about what you're looking to do once certain events kick in.
As I've been alluding to some people I know, I will be politically mute to the best of my ability once the Inauguration of commander shithead of chief is sworn in. Every news outlet I know, will be blocked and muted. Because I know they're going to be back to following every breath of Trump and his cronies and I'd like to never hear it again as much as possible.
From there I'm going to be living in an entirely different world, parallel to the real one. Basically saying autopilot is going to manage the real world things and I'm just going to be grasping to escapism.
Anything you have in mind?
I'll finally power through the Korean course I bought on Udemy this year. And maybe also learn the instruments I bought two years ago (keyboard and drum machine).
...who am I kidding, I probably won't do any of those things. 🤣
2Panic
2Enjoy the last 19 and half days before we could potentially experience a Nazi Germany v2.
17Not enough youth buying in to really live that experience, look at the massive flop that riot in the UK was

The same thing I do every year. Try to take over the world!

Gonna quit weed. Cold turkey. If I don't have control over my consumption now, I think that's a sign I need to stop until I do have that ability again, if ever.
21Why not quit now? Like, today, right here, right now. If you can't quit now, why would it be easier in few days?
Honestly dude, you set this artificial boundary because today's you just wants to throw off this responsibility onto next year's you. Don't be a dick for yourself!
4Good for you man. Setting boundaries is the way the go.
12Best of luck! Weed can be enjoyable but you don't need it to enjoy things.

Just keep my head down and keep plugging and watch a lot more Bob Ross. Happy little clouds.
6Declaring 2025 the year of the Linux desktop.
19Continue writing "2024" for the date for at least a week or so.
24A week? Rookie numbers.

Hit the protest scene in my city and start some chaos, and work off some spite.
and boy, is there some spite to work out...
On more personal goals, sell a lot of stuff and downsize, become more mobile and stockpile more cash and assets so I care a lot less about setbacks or surprise bills.
17Going offline on Jan 1st. For at least 4 years. If things get bad enough even after doing that, then I'll take it further.
25I wish you luck! Have a wonderful / good / tolerable life for the future!

I’m starting a 30 day yoga challenge, I’m starting a 52 week self discovery journal, I’m going to learn a new topic for 1 month. I might be doing something else, I need to check my bujo.
9I wrote out 1 check per month to my son's (4y/o) dance studio. I shall initially write the wrong year on every check from now through April.
7Aye right enough, last time I saw a cheque was about 1925 lol

Focus more on studies. The last semester has been an absolute bore, the topics of this semester should be much more exciting and challenging
1Convince myself I'm going to lose these 20 extra pounds
9You've got this!

I have my lemmy client set to block any items with the word Trump in it. Hence, your question made it through. It's been a blissful few months, not hearing a thing about him.
This year, I'm going to focus on growing my business, and deepening my relationships. Family and close friends.
17Same. The more I block the better I feel, honestly.

Going to keep doing what I'm doing now: invest every dollar I can spare and ride the coattails of the rich bastards in charge. Hoping to hit my early retirement number in four-to-eight years and have a lot of time to read, game, and enjoy my life afterward.
We'll see, though. Trump failed so spectacularly in his first term that it's important to keep some cash to the side in case there's a market crash. Buying stock at 90% discounts in March 2020 and then waiting a few years paid off my student loans.
For those who don't know, there are literal ETF's that follow the investment choices of major legislators, like Nancy Pelosi (ticker: NANC) and Ted Cruz (ticker: KRUZ), so you can, literally, invest legally in our federal legislators' insider trading.
11I'm thinking the opposite, I might just become a member of a political party next year and try to make a little bit of a difference.
14Good on you! I've actually considered the same thing
Where do you reckon you can make a difference?
2I'd join the (German) greens and advocate for better bike infrastructure and public transport in my region. The greens in my state are also known to be a bit economically conservative compared to other states, so I'd try to shift those policies to the left with my votes.

Think about all the things I'll plan to start doing once 2026 rolls around.
3become homeless and go off-grid
might write a manifesto
3I'll probably wash my jeans once or twice.
4I'll buy a new calendar
2Work is going to start providing lunch for all employees every working day, so I expect I’m gonna have to have a resolution to actively hit the gym more than I do now. I’ve always been a bit stingy with my portions for lunch which helps me to keep thinner, but if work has a nice hot lunch every day I am going to have to work harder.
2Cry about the continued march of time and my mortality.
Then afterwards!!

Work on a project I've been meaning to put more effort into. I've had ideas for some time now of trying to "invent" a device to help me with a sometimes extraordinarily difficult task at work. Solutions for the task already exist, but are incredibly expensive (tens of thousands of dollars or more) and my workplace doesn't seem to be inclined to go that route.

Work up the courage to ask my work bestie to hang out outside of work sometimes soon! It necessitates hanging out with children which I'm not necessarily always a fan of, but I can go through it if it's important to my friend. Sometimes work gets a bit busy or stressful and it would be cool to make memories outside of work. We've hung out only a few times ever. Idk!
Yeah, the political shit sucks. But since there's nothing I can do about it, I'm just a bit "meh" on the whole thing tbh. It's not anything I have the power to fix. So I'm just going to do my best to ignore it! Not really on my radar at the current moment, but it definitely was during the elections themselves. Idk we'll see. Always best to just try to think about other things!

I want to fix my adhd, I've beed delaying it for like 6 months :(
1There's not really a fix for something like that, it's more about learning to work with it
5Yeah but at least now I know what to do to improve my life
