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?

    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.

    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. 🤣

        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 rhetoric is definitely the same I agree but my point, once again, that not enough youth are buying into the fascist ideology. The old men may march (while they can) but not much else

    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!

    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.

    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.

      Same. The more I block the better I feel, honestly.
