    Being able to use “I’m 60” to complain about everything and use it as an excuse to get out of things I don’t want to do

    I have a test to become an air traffic controller coming up in December. If I pass I’ll have the interview and school to look forward to next year.

    • At work - recruiting another team member, so we are not all constantly plate spinning and I might actually have chance to spend time planning.
    • At home - finally getting the pictures etc up on the walls.
    • Nationally - voting the Tories out.

    Hopefully putting myself out there more. I have a spinning and weaving guild that I’ve joined, but I’ve been too burnt out to go to any of the meetings. 😓

    I hope that orange bastard Trump goes to prison or dies in 2024. I prefer prison because he needs to pay for his crimes, but dead is good too. The only thing is it would have to be a really dumb accident out in public so there wouldn’t be any conspiracy theories. Maybe he could fall off the stairs while getting off his plane and crack his skull on the tarmac.

      People debate whether we landed on the moon - one of the wisest watched televised events ever. I would be surprised if a Livestream of him doing just that would be enough to avoid dozens of conspiracy theories.

    Being able to say “oh that was x+1 years ago” instead of “x years ago” when reflecting on all my past traumas.

      Same here. Had a car unexpectedly die and the new car lease messed up our financial plans. Should have our CC debt paid off by the end of next year.

      Do we know who’s playing the emperor yet? I’m hoping for either Sting or Christopher Walken.

        Christopher Walker confirmed to be playing the Emperor, while Sting will have a surprise cameo role playing himself.

          Wow … you scared me … for some reason this made me wonder if Sting was still alive or not … I never worry about Walken, he’ll out last us all

        Pretty much all the major brands are reportedly going to make laptop models with the Snapdragon X Elite chip, so any one of those really. I’m probably going to buy a Lenovo one since they have a good track record.

      I’m curious to see how this pans out when they start to ship. The hardware looks really promising, but I’m curious about the rollout for software support.

      I’m excited to see real benchmarks from shipping laptops with off-the-shelf software.

      The hardware isn’t the issue (well, it won’t be much longer) it’s the software that doesn’t exist that is.

        But nobody on the software side will take porting to arm seriously if the hardware doesn’t exist. Some essentials like browsers and the adobe suite got ported to arm already but as soon as there’s an actual audience lots more people will bother putting out arm builds.

    A miracle keeping the orange fuhrer out of politics and news, perhaps a conviction with actual time to be served. I know, I’m calling for a miracle as I said.

    Honestly, nothing really. It feels like each year more fucked up things are happening, so I lost the positivity I had for the upcoming years.

    Don’t get me wrong I am in a good place personally, but with all the stuff going on in the world it sometimes feel hard to believe it’s gonna get better any time soon.

      Same - I’m a natural optimist and live a good life. But I can’t see any solutions for the horrors of the world. I only see new disasters brewing up, and being backed by more and more people.

      But I’m finally starting in my new position at work next year and that good for me.

      Same. I only have the ability to directly control a few things in my life and the rest is just constantly getting worse thanks to the actions of other people. Optimistic for me is just being able to tread water at this point and I’m not optimistic.
