become homeless and go off-grid

might write a manifesto

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.

Convince myself I'm going to lose these 20 extra pounds

Work 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.

Declaring 2025 the year of the Linux desktop.

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.

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.

Continue writing "2024" for the date for at least a week or so.

I'll probably wash my jeans once or twice.

I want to fix my adhd, I've beed delaying it for like 6 months :(

Cry about the continued march of time and my mortality.

Then afterwards!!

1. 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.

2. 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'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.

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

Going offline on Jan 1st. For at least 4 years. If things get bad enough even after doing that, then I'll take it further.

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.
