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 2 weeks ago

And Wilders, Orban, Weidel...

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

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

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

Yours or just generally looking forward to seeing random babies?

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, but also mine.

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 12 points 2 weeks ago

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

Congrats!

Finally getting to play Hollow Knight: Silksong

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks 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!

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks! 😁

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

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

Sounds like you’re not in capitalist USA.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Scandinavia.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago

Good weather activities! Like:

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

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] anomoly_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks 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 week ago

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

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks 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 😂

[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Pumafred9@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

What part of the UK are you heading too?

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

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

[–] 65gmexl3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

sorry to hear that. hoping for the best

[–] jupyter_rain@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Metal festival.

[–] BackwardsUntoDawn 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

i'm looking forward to getting a stable-ish job after my trial period. i already accepted an internship and have another offer on the table that can fill in my time nicely

i'm also looking forward to playing Patapon 1 & 2 replay, and Ratatan, and maybe even Silksong but it's been so long i'm not sure it's not just a collective hallucination

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

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.

Well I'm finishing school in the next couple of weeks, so that's great.
Also will probably start redoing my driver's license (I started 3 years ago, had to pause because of school) and start saving money for a Ninja 250r.

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