Trump, Musk, Putin and Xi getting deserved karma. (unlikely to happen but wishful thinking).

Steam Deck 2 or Steam console

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

And Wilders, Orban, Weidel...

[–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Putin Xi in the same category as trump, musk, and putin is crazy work

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

I'd rather be maxing my social credit rn now vs being in America

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Can add Doug Ford to that list as well. He is following the fascist hand book to a T here in Ontario.

Yours or just generally looking forward to seeing random babies?

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Yes, but also mine.

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 12 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, a fellow person who hates disposable income too!

Congrats!

Civil war. Not exactly looking forward to it per sé. Just expecting it.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean 6 months is a stretch, I’m thinking next week or so at this point. First time Trump orders military to shoot at civilians I fully expect the west coast to secede, followed by New England

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Another shot heard round the world.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Yea, I fucking hate this timeline -

[–] formulaBonk@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That would be great improvement to both Canada and New England/west coast however I do not see that ever happening given trigger happy authoritarian in charge would simply use that as an excuse for military occupation of said states. They’d use the same excuse as Russia did for invading crimea except they’d sort of have a point because there is no “legal” way for a state to secede by its own volition I don’t think.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Well yea, it’ll be a civil war - you’ll see the military fracture as parts of the military will side with both sides - you also have to remember that the mast majority of people live in New England and the west coast.

It’s not going to be “ the military gets called in” it’s going to be “half the military went awol and took equipment with them, along with civilian groups joining up to defend their states”.

And since Trump pretty much pissed off all our allies, and Russia is a bit busy at the moment, we will probably see support given to the seceding states by Europe, as no one wants another dictator led super power.

Civil war is coming, at this point the only thing that could stop it is if orange douche canoe, his couch fucking sidekick and the “I totally don’t masturbate to gay porn” speaker of the house had a Russian style window experience.

Finally getting to play Hollow Knight: Silksong

Should see some serious progress on some mental and physical fitness goals. Really excited about that!

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trying to get into better shape through better diet and getting back into cycling. Enjoying it so far, although only in week 2.

Also, going on holiday to France soon, first time I've been abroad in years, can't wait!

First a few weeks of vacation, working during summer is basically vacation because noone wants anything not urgent done.

Then hunting season when I'll have my actual vacation.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What industry are you in that summer becomes so easy to work in?

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Automation Engineer. Everyone of our customers have half their workforce on vacation and they will delay any non urgent work for when they are back.

So my job turns into cleaning the workshop and waiting for a thunderstorm to zap something expensive and send spare parts.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like you’re not in capitalist USA.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Scandinavia.

[–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Collapse of the us. Genuinely hope it happens this time instead of people just accepting having fewer rights again.

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

There is a chance, albeit somewhat small, that I will finally be able to pay off my student loans in the next six months.

Started at $60,000 and now they're down to like 14. But I'm expecting a pretty large bonus coming up in the next few months, And if it does come through and no unexpected expenses pop up to take it away, then there's a chance.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

Good weather activities! Like:

Biking! Street Fairs! Free concerts! Farmers markets! Parades!

[–] anomoly_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nothing. Recently lost my job and have absolutely no confidence that I'll be able to get another; so life is pretty much at a standstill until something happens with that.

[–] newbeni@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I can't say anything to make it better, just know that I'm there too. A little peace in solidarity?

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Oh dear dog, it is already? FML...

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I have 50m2 garage I want to turn into a workshop mainly for sewing but also for other compatible activities like origami.

My dream would be to make it available to other people as some sort of creative space.

The objective for the next 6 months is to clean the yard that leads there, get rid of most of the stuff stored in there and find an advisor (not sure if it is the right word) to help me with the renovation process because I have no clue.

Going to the UK for 10 days in October, very excited for that.

[–] Pumafred9@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

What part of the UK are you heading too?

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

Academic year is largely done, so I'm looking forward to three months of kicking the arse out of my gaming to-play list; getting out running more; and spending time with the family.

For the second three months, I'm looking forward to enjoying the study and achieving good grades, before it fades away into another nine month slog and the pass mark becomes the target and not the minimum 😂

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe I'll finally get better? I'm chronically ill.

[–] 65gmexl3@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

sorry to hear that. hoping for the best

I guess for me there are two festivals I am looking forward to. Also..saving. My cat got really sick last winter, which did cost me a lot and now I am trying to build up my savings again. I also hope that he will pass smoothly, unfortunately the latest diagnosis for him was dire.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

aftershockfestival.com

Metal festival.

[–] BackwardsUntoDawn@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago

went for the first time last year, it was so fun

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Vacation baby! Portland & south Carolina! I get to visit my storage unit and pull out all my guitars !

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Developing some home automation using NodeRed and a bunch of cheap ESP32s I got on aliexpress. Been studying up on it lately. All I really want to do is turn lights on and off, but wirelessly. Also doing more 3d design & printing, and making some kind of impressive Halloween thing - I kind of want a large floating eyeball, maybe suspended from a dark pole up on the roof so it's out in the air like it's levitating. The bigger the better. It would be cool to detect motion and have the eye move like it's following people, and of course blink. And fog. There must be fog.

The same only thing we’ve had to look forward to every night, Pinky: the next installment in an entertainment media franchise
