are you implying that there's anything to get ready for? It's just another day. Wake up every day, take a piss, wash my hands, eat some food, go to work.

Note to self: start washing hands after pissing in 2024

2020: Space plague

2021: Nutbars tried to decapitate our government

2022: Ukraine gets invaded

2023: Hamas does a 911 against Israel resulting in Gaza getting turned into a warzone, tens of thousands dead

2024: ???

wash my hands

If I'm at home I don't even do this if I take a piss (live alone). The thought of doing it in the morning feels very...bourgeoisie.

Get up, swear at the darkness, slam cup on counter and make a strong coffee.

What does it mean to be ready for the new year?

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Well, I like to have my new budget spreadsheet set up by then and my tax return done.

Just if you have plans you want to start. Or events to end with 2023

I'm not even ready for December.

Yes because I maxed out my dental insurance and had to pay in full out of pocket on my last visit for the year. There’s still a ton of work to do on my teeth and going into the new year means I get fresh new coverage. Hooray for US healthcare. /s

Yikes :(

Technically not ready yet, I've got a big list of stuff to do over the holidays, but I'm working on it and it's super fun. Love this time of year when I can indulge my degenerate love of organising and making plans!

It couldn't come sooner if that's what you mean

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I don't ever consider myself ready for a new year. It just happens and that's that.

I'm gonna be honest... the nihilism is a bit strong this year. I'm having a hard time seeing any path towards a better situation by this time next year.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Same, but oddly hopeful. Or at least its important to keep ones ideals; can't lose your identity to the machine.

Ironically I'm more ready for the new year than I am Christmas.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why's that?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Going into the new year just requires me to adapt to a few things, while Christmas requires me to make purchases and to plan for visitations.
