What do you hope to achieve in the next 5 years?

Remission would be nice.

Godspeed. Me too.
- Godspeed to you as well.

I hope that I get to reverse the trend of my quality of living plummeting.

Best of luck on that

Get those shelves on the wall. Maybe manage to decide on a new couch. That'd be nice.

Get those shelves on the wall
Eeeeh.... You can do that tomorrow, hey? shrugs
- Nope, can't. The walls are made of concrete, I think, some other hard as fuck material in any case, so drilling is a massive undertaking that requires a hammer drill. Also don't have all the materials because I forgot to mention "have the energy to go to the store to get materials".
Have you considered getting an ADHD diagnosis?
- Funny you should say that, I'm on 60 mg of extended release methylphenidate a day.

Not die in the coming global wars for resources. But I mean realistically I’m not well positioned for that.

Congratulations! You get to be a low-level henchman. If you're lucky, some actor in the distant future will play you in the movie adaptation and they may even get assigned a designation like "Henchman #7" or "Blue shirt Henchman"!
- I mean you gotta do what you gotta do 🤷‍♂️

Slow down, do less, achieve less, buy less, worry less. More casual hanging out with trees, birds and lizards in my neighborhood. Eat the rich.

Well, considering the emissions and other things that can make the earth's atmosphere deadly, I think it won't be possible to enjoy nature for long.
It's like running away from your problems, and eventually they will catch up with you, no matter how deep a cave you hide in.

Your question fell right after a post of this comic in my feed.

In reality it may be different and the terminator will also look different he will most likely be smaller and in camouflage and there will be no point in shooting you will be immediately arrested and eliminated so you know reality is cruel you are not a hero in it you are just almost nobody. Oh I couldn't resist and answered...
- Heroes are everywhere, but you're right they don't generally look like Rambo 🤣

Survival

Moving out of the city into or near the mountains

To have, on balance, made my life better more than worse.

Should be married and own a house by then assuming I don't catastrophically fuck something up.

Hopefully a dog

Buy a house.

Get a second vehicle.

Hopefully get a better job or a few promotions.

Maybe a second kid if the first time around works out okay and the wife wants another. She’s still pregnant with our first so we’ll see. I love kids so I’d probably want more than one.

I would like to buy some land. And start prepping for the shit show.

Preferably somewhere with fewer people, preferably in a village or even in a forest far from civilization, or will you arm yourself to the teeth and defend your fortress from from marauders and others?
- I'm not sure. I think I would like to be more self sufficient at a minimum. Gardening, hunting, fishing.
  But to answer your question, probably. And hope it doesn't come to that.

Survive as well as possible. Might not but oh well.

Cardiac arrest

Hope you have a good cardiac lawyer

Build myself a new life in Australia, get a motorbike and do lots of road trips, and maybe start a family.

Play guitar on stage for first time

I hope I will be able to release my third indie-game about life after singularity. For now have only one released, but it is going strong.

FIRE numbers.

Fire body for me 🔥🏋️‍♂️🔥

Go solar

Work through my Steam library.

The most unlikely thing here

Die. I have no hope left in pretty much anything. But I am also hoping to be surprised, I guess.

As always the right lottery numbers, so far I never got it right but it is what I hope to achieve in the next 5 years

Escape velocity.

Getting some personal projects and bucket-list items done:

Fixing my sleep schedule and other health habits
Getting back to my pre-COVID gym schedule
Making my own mechanical keyboard
Learning about 3D modelling and acquiring a 3D printer
Organizing and curating my 6 TB data hoard
Start learning a new language or polishing up the one I learned in high school
Finding better furniture and decor, preferably the old kind without particle board
Travelling

A threesome with my wife and another woman 😎

A consistent beautiful high kickflip.

Who knows, I might finish my novella someday.

I'm an aspiring Vtuber focused right now on narrating for one of three YouTube channels I'm associated with (that being Cocules Reddit Readings), but I want to expand on that in the future once I get myself out there with proper connections.

I do this, however, using Linux and FOSS. My producer does his channels the exact same way.

Same as the past 10 years. Get a job.

girlfriend and driver's license

get rid of first the anxiety, then the old mouldy house so we can put up a new one i've designed.

also finish that design.

Keep my sanity

Get shit back on track I guess. On the one hand I shouldn't have much to complain. I own an apartment, have enough money to get by and buy myself something nice every now and then. But mentally and physically I'm a bit of a trainwreck at the moment. Burnt out and unsure what I really want from all of this. I kept going on too long in a state that provided me everything I wanted on paper, but somehow caused a lot of trouble in practice. Ignored my hobbies for so long that I don't really know how to start with them again. I need my younger spirit back. The one that just did things because it sounded fun without overthinking or focusing on the end result. But I feel like corporate life has poisoned me to think in results and plan everything in advance.

Took a hit professionally to move states and get out of and escape a few years of bad employers. Now I have a part-time job where I feel overqualified but it’s essentially the same price for me to be a stay-at-home dad most of the time with my new baby. So, I really hope that when she’s 5, I can have some semblance of challenge and purpose outside of fatherhood again. I am a video director so some sense of creating art for fun again would be nice, too.
