        Ay you’re that thing mercury is in sometimes. Is 2024 actually going to be the year it turns Gatorade?

          I mean, it would have to be the year of the plant since Gatorade is what they crave

      Well, we hit 3% of market share in 2023, so this was definitely one of the years of the Linux desktop.

    2023 was the best year for me in a long time. Got a neat promotion and a marry-worthy partner :)

      Those two make a big difference. Ten years ago I was broke, in an abusive marriage, and still trying to work out a bunch of personal issues.

      Today, I have an awesome (different) wife, a job I don’t hate where I make good money, kids that I love, and a place to call home.

      There’s still rough days. Those are part of life. But I am a very fortunate man and even when I have a bad day, I remember that it used to be and could be way, way worse.

        It’s good you were able to get out of that abusive situation and into something better. Congratulations, my friend :)

      2024, an election year, will definitely be a shitshow.

          I’d say it’s going to be more of a shitshow than normal, but that will be expected.

    I keep wishing everyone a very boring 2024. Makes me happy when they reply in kind.

    You haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because you’re thinking life will be depressing from here on out and nothing will improve.

    I haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because it’s always “the year” for me regardless of what I say or don’t say.

    We are not the same.

    I feel like the last properly good year, at least for me, was 2012. Everything has just been a slow fumbling collapse since then.

    It’ll be the best year yet for global warming, that’s a guarantee. Every year will be setting new records for the forseeable future.

    Of course it depends what you do with your year. Move up the ladder, or move to a better place or changing your hobbies or whatever can all make it a better year. Politically - it’s gonna be a crapfest of a shitshow. No two ways about that.

    The New Year is always going to be the best … but every time we get there, we just end up wishing for the next New Year.

    Which means wishing for the New Year is a phenomenal that we can never achieve.

    It’s always a wish that can never be fulfilled.
