Collapse of the us. Genuinely hope it happens this time instead of people just accepting having fewer rights again.

Kind of twisted to wish for a situation that will inevitably kill countless people
As opposed to the countless people currently being killed?
You present this as a binary choice, as if that’s a given. It is not. If you want to assert that it is, show us your homework.
You sound like a frothing at the mouth warhawk. People who have already decided that the only path forward is war. Revolution should be the absolute last resort, not something people eagerly cheer for.
Nothing. Recently lost my job and have absolutely no confidence that I'll be able to get another; so life is pretty much at a standstill until something happens with that.
I can't say anything to make it better, just know that I'm there too. A little peace in solidarity?
I have 50m2 garage I want to turn into a workshop mainly for sewing but also for other compatible activities like origami.
My dream would be to make it available to other people as some sort of creative space.
The objective for the next 6 months is to clean the yard that leads there, get rid of most of the stuff stored in there and find an advisor (not sure if it is the right word) to help me with the renovation process because I have no clue.
Get Switch 2 (this is for christmas)

Metal festival.
went for the first time last year, it was so fun
Getting the hell out of Texas. I'm moving to Pennsylvania in a month and change after living in Texas for almost 10 years and hating it here the whole time. It'll be nice to be out of the aggressively backwards deep-red South. Kinda wish I was moving southwest instead of northeast, but that shit's just way too expensive. Plus it'll be nice to be out of the oppressive heat and humidity of the Gulf Coast for 8 months out of the year.
Well I'm finishing school in the next couple of weeks, so that's great.
Also will probably start redoing my driver's license (I started 3 years ago, had to pause because of school) and start saving money for a Ninja 250r.
i'm looking forward to getting a stable-ish job after my trial period. i already accepted an internship and have another offer on the table that can fill in my time nicely
i'm also looking forward to playing Patapon 1 & 2 replay, and Ratatan, and maybe even Silksong but it's been so long i'm not sure it's not just a collective hallucination
The same only thing we’ve had to look forward to every night, Pinky: the next installment in an entertainment media franchise
Developing some home automation using NodeRed and a bunch of cheap ESP32s I got on aliexpress. Been studying up on it lately. All I really want to do is turn lights on and off, but wirelessly. Also doing more 3d design & printing, and making some kind of impressive Halloween thing - I kind of want a large floating eyeball, maybe suspended from a dark pole up on the roof so it's out in the air like it's levitating. The bigger the better. It would be cool to detect motion and have the eye move like it's following people, and of course blink. And fog. There must be fog.
Vacation baby! Portland & south Carolina! I get to visit my storage unit and pull out all my guitars !

Trump, Musk, Putin and Xi getting deserved karma. (unlikely to happen but wishful thinking).
Steam Deck 2 or Steam console
Putin Xi in the same category as trump, musk, and putin is crazy work
I'd rather be maxing my social credit rn now vs being in America
Can add Doug Ford to that list as well. He is following the fascist hand book to a T here in Ontario.
And Wilders, Orban, Weidel...

Yours or just generally looking forward to seeing random babies?
Yes, but also mine.
Ah yes, a fellow person who hates disposable income too!
Congrats!
Congrats.
Civil war. Not exactly looking forward to it per sé. Just expecting it.
I mean 6 months is a stretch, I’m thinking next week or so at this point. First time Trump orders military to shoot at civilians I fully expect the west coast to secede, followed by New England
Another shot heard round the world.
Yea, I fucking hate this timeline -
That would be great improvement to both Canada and New England/west coast however I do not see that ever happening given trigger happy authoritarian in charge would simply use that as an excuse for military occupation of said states. They’d use the same excuse as Russia did for invading crimea except they’d sort of have a point because there is no “legal” way for a state to secede by its own volition I don’t think.
Well yea, it’ll be a civil war - you’ll see the military fracture as parts of the military will side with both sides - you also have to remember that the mast majority of people live in New England and the west coast.
It’s not going to be “ the military gets called in” it’s going to be “half the military went awol and took equipment with them, along with civilian groups joining up to defend their states”.
And since Trump pretty much pissed off all our allies, and Russia is a bit busy at the moment, we will probably see support given to the seceding states by Europe, as no one wants another dictator led super power.
Civil war is coming, at this point the only thing that could stop it is if orange douche canoe, his couch fucking sidekick and the “I totally don’t masturbate to gay porn” speaker of the house had a Russian style window experience.

Finally getting to play Hollow Knight: Silksong
Should see some serious progress on some mental and physical fitness goals. Really excited about that!
Trying to get into better shape through better diet and getting back into cycling. Enjoying it so far, although only in week 2.
Also, going on holiday to France soon, first time I've been abroad in years, can't wait!

First a few weeks of vacation, working during summer is basically vacation because noone wants anything not urgent done.
Then hunting season when I'll have my actual vacation.

Good weather activities! Like:
Biking! Street Fairs! Free concerts! Farmers markets! Parades!
There is a chance, albeit somewhat small, that I will finally be able to pay off my student loans in the next six months.
Started at $60,000 and now they're down to like 14. But I'm expecting a pretty large bonus coming up in the next few months, And if it does come through and no unexpected expenses pop up to take it away, then there's a chance.
Going to the UK for 10 days in October, very excited for that.
What part of the UK are you heading too?
Oh dear dog, it is already? FML...
Academic year is largely done, so I'm looking forward to three months of kicking the arse out of my gaming to-play list; getting out running more; and spending time with the family.
For the second three months, I'm looking forward to enjoying the study and achieving good grades, before it fades away into another nine month slog and the pass mark becomes the target and not the minimum 😂
