Who knows, I might finish my novella someday.
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.
Survive as well as possible. Might not but oh well.
Work through my Steam library.
Keep my sanity
girlfriend and driver's license
A consistent beautiful high kickflip.
Your question fell right after a post of this comic in my feed.
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...
Heroes are everywhere, but you're right they don't generally look like Rambo π€£
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.
Same as the past 10 years. Get a job.
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.
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.
Survival
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.
Still, firearms are a good idea in a pinch, although crossbows can also be used to hunt animals and eliminate opponents.
Build myself a new life in Australia, get a motorbike and do lots of road trips, and maybe start a family.
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.
Well, considering the emissions and other things that can make the earth's atmosphere deadly, I think it won't be possible to enjoy nature for long.
It's like running away from your problems, and eventually they will catch up with you, no matter how deep a cave you hide in.
Go solar
Remission would be nice.
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.
Have you considered getting an ADHD diagnosis?
Funny you should say that, I'm on 60 mg of extended release methylphenidate a day.
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 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".
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"!
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
Cardiac arrest
Hope you have a good cardiac lawyer
Moving out of the city into or near the mountains
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.
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.
Die. I have no hope left in pretty much anything. But I am also hoping to be surprised, I guess.
A threesome with my wife and another woman π
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
FIRE numbers.
Fire body for me π₯ποΈββοΈπ₯
Escape velocity.
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.
