My husband and I are trying to have a baby, so a positive test would be amazing.

A particular orange turd to face the consequences of his actions or croak.

This was all just a bad dream and I'm waking up to Mortal Kombat for the Sega Genesis under the tree in 1993.

Functional government with a solid social safety net.
A country which doesn't have a culture of greed and psychopathy.

No one mention any far right talking points

I already know what I'm getting because it was all disclosed via Amazon wishlist and (although I did have the "no spoilers" option or whatever is called enabled) my brother just blabbed it was empty.

I didn't have much on it tbf. But I guess I know what I'm getting. Except I've forgotten some of it by now, so it's kind of a surprise.

Wish I had friends to spend it with instead of a person who is abusive and swears at me every day.

My wife to stop drinking.

I want to have children, but cannot afford them for an undetermined amount of time. Fingers crossed that we'll have enough money someday!

Linux market share to grow more

Snow

I want real freedom. It's basically impossible.

Happiness.

I'd like to skip Christmas, I get nothing out of it but headaches. I don't enjoy the family get togethers (individually or in small groups my family is mostly fine, but all of them at once is too much) I don't want anything that can reasonably be asked for or given as a present, and I don't have any space for the useless junk I'll inevitably receive.

What I need/want is money. I'm not struggling, but I have projects and things I'm saving up for and whatever they'd spend on gifts if they feel like they need to give me something I'd much rather them just give me the cash or Venmo me. They're not going to gift me a new heater, deck, washer/dryer, paint for my living room, etc. the best I can hope for is some gift cards to Lowes, home Depot, etc. and inevitably the cards will all be to different places so I can't even use them all on what they're intended to go towards, and there's a good chance that once I've saved up enough I'll get the best price at a store I don't even have any gift cards for, so they're going to sit around collecting dust because I'll never remember to grab them when I need to go buy a box of screws or something.

Just give me cash.

Sex. Not gonna happen with the kids at home and houseguests.

I want a 2" diameter curling iron. I can't find them anywhere in store. They only go up to a 1 1/2" for some reason.

Also, I just killed my hair dryer last night so now I need a new one.

Unfortunately, there two items became needed over the past few days so it's too late to ask anyone for them. I'll just get them myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have all that I can reasonably want that I could reasonably be given, so I'm making a gift instead, I'm off donating blood in half an hour, hopefully someone will appreciate it 😋

The same touchscreen gloves I got two years ago that are no longer being made. There's three pairs on eBay and if no one buys them for me I'm buying them all for myself.

I want my council tax bill paid. They didn't take it for two years straight due to an administrative error - I even had a direct debit setup - but have only just now realised on their side and now they want all of it back at once. Paid off a big lump of it immediately but had to go on a payment plan where they take an extra £400 per month for the next quarter.

My mum to meet my daughter.

More than three days off this month.

A single family home... it'd sure be nice though.

To have my dad and aunt cured of their disease so I can finally feel happiness again

To spend xmas with my grandparents that passed away!

To win a housing lottery so I can move the fuck out like why the fuck do you need to be lUcKy to FUCKING LIVE IN THE CITY YOU WERE FUCKING BORN IN? Some apartments and condos had yearly incomes of 100k to 150k yearly. Bro. If you're making One Hundred Thousand United States Dollars every year, you're most likely making $1500 a week. You should be considered rich or well off. Why the absolute fuck are literal rich people unable to fucking just live on their own in their city without needing to be lucky? The US Government is a humongous failure. Any country with homeless and desperately poor people has a failed government. Then you have these exact poor people fighting each other for enough money to escape poverty on Mr Beast Games and everyone's watching it without understanding how fucked that is. That poor people are given a carrot on a stick to chase for everyone's entertainment.

A reason not to do it

A reversal of the cuts my health insurance is making and further to have all of my healthcare paid for by the insurance I pay a ton of money to have. Especially hurts since the insurance company is my employer, or at least I used to. Now they have the same parent company or whatever they call it these days.

A no gifts agreement. You get nothing, I get nothing, we all save money and some sanity while not feeding the system by collectively buying a ton of unnecessary stuff at double the prices.

But anyway, if I wanted something, a Mullvad voucher would be useful.
Something cool, but mostly just a toy, an external eUICC chip, "eSIM adapter". Either JMP because their app is open-source and on F-Droid, or 9esim because it's far cheaper and has more storage. But as I said, it's not something I need, mostly would serve me as a toy and I'd have a bunch of random foreign eSIM profiles. There's even some free eSIMs like Firsty Free that I'd like to try. They promise "basic speed" unlimited data access with a time limit for watching ads. But there's also some like BNESIM which have no expiration and some usable prepaid data amount.
My current phone doesn't support eSIMs natively, but seems to support the required OMAPI to make this work.

ThinkPad Thales card would be far cheaper, and probably work too (with EasyLPAC), but it's out of stock everywhere.

But again, not something I need, just something for fun.

The motherboard in my computer is basically dead. Every morning I must perform voodoo to get just one more post.

But my computer is fairly old now and I can't justify just replacing the board for more money than upgrading the platform. 😔
