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?
Quit one of my 3 part time jobs
stop drinking 14 beers every day
Start making weed edibles so I stop smoking it
Psychedelics every 3 months as per usual
Continue my community service of shoveling shit into lemmy in hopes the extra content convinces more people to switch from reddit and stay.
Find a cheaper basement to rent.
If you can’t quit smoking switch to dry herb vapes!
2025 will be a busy year for me.
Just bought raw land and waiting for the septic install at the moment (Might be a few weeks away).
Going to buy shipping containers, get my storage stuff moved to the raw land, get an RV to live in while we build our house, and make a nice garden with a green house.
Excited to be off grid with the goal of being self sufficient.
I’m sure you’ve researched a bunch already, but be careful moving into the shipping containers before remediation is done. I heard the paint used in shipping containers causes toxic vapors.
I won’t be living in the containers, just using them as storage. Thanks for the warnings though, I will limit my time in them. I did want to make a workshop in there, but after adding lots of vents.
Live another year but have more knowledge than before.
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. 🤣
Panic
At the disco

Enjoy the last 19 and half days before we could potentially experience a Nazi Germany v2.
Not enough youth buying in to really live that experience, look at the massive flop that riot in the UK was
Okay but we elected Elon musk/donald trump to the presidency here in the US. Elon just recently tweeted about how a Neo Nazi party was Germany’s only hope and Trump is talking about immigration poisoning the blood of the nation….
Not so sure that bs riot Elon tried to help foment in the UK is a good indicator
The same thing I do every year. Try to take over the world!
Not as funny when we currently have multiple billionaires actively aiming for this exact goal…
“Are you pondering what I’m pondering?”
“Uh, I think so Brain, but this time, you wear the tutu.”

More like The Brain, no?
Continue writing “2024” for the date for at least a week or so.
A week? Rookie numbers.
Declaring 2025 the year of the Linux desktop.
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.
That’s cool, but cold turkey is just making it harder on yourself for little to no gain. U less you just have no self control, tapering would be better for you and your body. As others have said, CT can actually just be setting yourself up for failure.
Or not, weed is one of the easiest to cut out so it’s not a big deal compared to benzos or opioids of course.
COVID gave me a weed allergy that made me quit cold turkey. I haven’t had any in a few months. I do miss it, there have been many times (like the start of November) when I would’ve appreciated it, but I’m scared to trigger symptoms again.
If nothing else, my tolerance has reset
Why 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!
It’s their body their choice. Don’t choose for them.
Good for you man. Setting boundaries is the way the go.
Best 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.
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.
See ya Jan 2
I wish you luck! Have a wonderful / good / tolerable life for the future!
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.
Convince myself I’m going to lose these 20 extra pounds
Remember that it’s a lifestyle change, not something you can cram into a few months. This way if you slip up, it isn’t demoralizing.
I’ll take 'em. Could use a pack of cigs right now
You’ve got this!
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.
Good on you! I’ve actually considered the same thing
Where do you reckon you can make a difference?
I’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.
