I want the american tech industry to stop ruining the world.
My health back (post covid syndrome).
I also want that for you, buddy. Stay strong.
I want Steam Frame to come out and be in stock long enough for me to buy it. I don't even care how much it will cost, although I'd never buy from a scalper.
I've not felt such child-like excitement for a new toy in years.
A kitten
To be gendered correctly without immense effort on my part. I know it's trivial af for cis people, but it steers most of my decision making and how I interact with people. I wish I could just exist and be seen correctly like most everyone else.
Meanwhile I know some people who can pass as either gender with almost no effort. Life truly is unfair.
Right this moment?
To be able to move house to a nice part of a small city (we're working on our current house at the moment to make it saleable at a decent price)
Would be nice to have one or two more people in our relationship, too, but I'm not holding my breath ...
Would be nice to have one or two more people in our relationship
You mean like, kids?
Nope, we're polyamorous
Certainly makes rent easier to cover when you add more people to the household.
The power to eradicate all mosquitoes in the world in one fell swoop
You'd eliminate every other animal that eats them in one fell swoop too.
Not if they have other food sources as well that would be enough. Might see population changes though.
SO BE IT
Enough money to never work again, be comfortable, and live in isolation, preferably in the woods.
So about £25k? The problem is getting permission to live in the woods rather than the cost. Or if you buy a house already there with the woods it will cost millions.
I want my own place. So tired of living with my folks as a 30 something. I just want my own fucking place.
Come to northern Maine! Cheap houses up here. They're maybe not the best, but if you're handy and have tools, it's not bad. I bought mine with a $5500 downpayment, and I have 10 acres of land.

I've only ever wanted 3 things in life, the fourth desire came later on.
Stability.
A loving relationship.
A stable, well paying job. (Not looking to be rich, just not relegated to renting illegal shitty apartments.)
My own home.
I'm turning 40 this year and I've gotten 0/4 so far...
To be able to live life comfortably without always worrying about not having enough money
I want my ex to get her shit together. For the sake of our kid. Get your drivers license already, get a job, stop sponging off me, and kindly show him that he can have two stable parents instead of one stable parent and one who’s a hot mess.
And I want to get put on salary at work but that’s a pipe dream.
My mom back
8 hours of restful sleep.
I’d do anything for a full 8 hours of sleep except go to bed early enough to get a full 8 hours of sleep.
Narcolepsy sleep test in less than a month 😵💫
A world in which people with Antisocial Personality Disorders are institutionalized rather than being put in charge of governments and corporations.
I'm pleased to inform you that most people suffering from ASPD have in fact been victimised by the police, and that the politicians and billionaires you're thinking of don't have ASPD.
I know it can feel comforting to have some pseudoscientific explanation of which people are fundamentally good and which people are born evil. But there is no Jewish illuminati, there is no lizard people illuminati, and there is no neurodivergent illuminati. Extreme wealth turns people evil, regardless of what race, religion, or neurotype they were born with.
maybe. but imo extreme wealth hoarding is usually only possible/successful by people with little empathy who exploit others around them
Being content and at peace without being constantly tired or feel shame and guilt about finding it.
My Master's degree, if not a PhD, preferably in Sweden or at least the EU. Space was my original aspiration but now I'm thinking renewable energy or a similar engineering field with an eye toward helping adapt to climate change.
A fresh start somewhere around ~2-3 years ago with the mental help I needed at that time
Hi me. It's never too late to try. I finally started getting the help I needed, and it was 2 years too late and after I already permanently ruined my chance at something really good that only happens once in a lifetime, but better late than never, right?
An RTX 5090
Stability
You can and will do it.
I want the island base the bad guy has in The Man With the Golden Gun. And maybe the golden gun, too. Don't need the 3rd nipple, tho.
A fresh start, and I'm currently planning to make that happen.
First step: Get promotion with pay bump [Done]
Second step: Increase client hour utilisation with work to support an interstate move and be set up with strong income flow right from the start [Done]
Third Step: Figure out where to live in the new city [In progress]
Fourth step: Move [TODO]
To sleep a little more after an alarm wakes me up. Every time.
Perfect health
