Title: What are your hopes for 2022?
Post by: Stupidface on Sat, 01 January 2022, 07:35:03: My hopes are simple:

A fair number of people had a rough time of it in 2021; I hope 2022 will see them right.

Some people had good luck last year; may their good fortune continue.

What are yours?

• That Microsoft repent and stop putting crap in MS-Windows, and instead work on making the system solid and usable.
• That Facebook/Meta files for Chapter 11, and donate the platform to be run by a non-profit foundation that closes down all commercial activity and privacy-invasion.
• That Bitcoin will plummet, drag Etherium with it and that all the crypto-bros go mad and commit suicide.
• That the US, India and China start taking climate change seriously, and we get a global climate-tax on trade with the remaining countries that don't comply with global treaties.
• That Cherry (or someone) will develop a cheap, silent, Cherry MX Clear Low Profile.
• That Putin takes ill, and hands power over Russia to someone who is secretly a decent person.
• That the effing COVID-19 epidemic dies down

Would be bad for the hundreds of others who live nearby and their families but I'm not that lucky anyway.

Now that's a fairy tale. All other hopes of yours are realistic!

Micro-meteorite can hit you and give you a sudden stroke, kind of like sniped by god.

Post by: noisyturtle on Sat, 01 January 2022, 17:49:07: I am really tired of being poor and alone. It is getting super old.
I'd like to either have friends again, or not be constantly struggling financially. I'd take one or the other.

Post by: SlugHaMR on Sat, 01 January 2022, 18:52:03: I'm hoping for getting a job soon and scoring A's for my education. I'll need plenty of luck and motivation too. Other than that, just more time with the people I care about, family and friends and all that.

I hope yall are having a good new year so far, and you're making sure to take care of yourself. Tonight for me is gonna be a frosty one, so I'll be bundled in blankets. :)

Post by: Kavik on Sun, 02 January 2022, 14:35:26: My hopes/plans:
-Get my mom into assisted living so that she gets better care and so that I have my life back.
-Start selling option spreads as a side hustle.
-Finish my house refinancing (just need a couple documents to complete it).
-Finally set some lifting PRs again (I haven't done that since 2018) and not get injured in the process.
-Read some of the books I've amassed. I have a bad habit of starting lots of books and never finishing them.
-Possibly find a new job. There have been some recent changes that may not pan out, in my opinion, in addition to the rut I've been in for a while now. I'm coming up on ten years at the company.

Look at who backs and started Jasmy, read the white pages, see their long-term vision, and if you still doubt- read the white pages again.

Any purchase is a gamble. At least Jasmy is backed by Sony, the Japanese government, and the dude who invented FeliCa IC (basically Jasmy is Sony's future digital payment currency, still in infancy stages)
Unlike almost every other crypto, Jasmy is not a "project" coin, it is a legitimate company with a long term plan, backed by some of the most influential people in Japanese tech from the last 30 years.
