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?

    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.

    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.

      Not as funny when we currently have multiple billionaires actively aiming for this exact goal…

    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.

        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

    Going to keep doing what I’m doing now: invest every dollar I can spare and ride the coattails of the rich bastards in charge. Hoping to hit my early retirement number in four-to-eight years and have a lot of time to read, game, and enjoy my life afterward.

    We’ll see, though. Trump failed so spectacularly in his first term that it’s important to keep some cash to the side in case there’s a market crash. Buying stock at 90% discounts in March 2020 and then waiting a few years paid off my student loans.

    For those who don’t know, there are literal ETF’s that follow the investment choices of major legislators, like Nancy Pelosi (ticker: NANC) and Ted Cruz (ticker: KRUZ), so you can, literally, invest legally in our federal legislators’ insider trading.

    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.

    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.

      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!

    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. 🤣
