I haven't seen any New Year's Resolutions threads this new year...

[islandman]

....so what's your #1 resolution?

Me:

#1) More outdoors time with the fam.

 

[Champakian]

Maybe if you're still making them, you're a bit out of step with the changing times.

 

[dolf]

To refrain from brutally murdering idiots.

I don't know... I'm short on vices, and if I don't already have a good habit it's because I don't want it.

 

[stickygirl]

Keep breathing is up there. Try and walk away from dumb arguments. Watch my mouth. Make more cakes

 

[spacekowboy]

Yeah this isn't the year for resolutions. Just ease in, peak around every corner, watch your six, and get through it till the end.


Oh yeah, and wear a fucking mask till it's safe not to.

 

[HisArpy]

I dunno about you, but when I look around I don't see very many people saying this new year is going to be great for them. Mostly what I see, and hear, is "keep your head down... just keep your head down and it'll get better..."

 

[spacekowboy]

That's what happens when a virus kills 350K people, Timmy. The common folk like yourself tend to get nervous.

As that isn't the topic in question, I will assume you're answering another thread.

To make it to see 2022. Then we will go from there

 

[Adre]

I’m shooting for a few acts of kindness.

[Adre]

Yeah, that too.

 

[KeithD]

No resolutions. I think it's a "take it a day at a time" year--at least so far.

 

[Saint Peter]

more ciggies and booze
less losers in the news

<-- doesn't care about whatever mental affliction you have that makes you believe in personal fantasies.

Actually, it is the topic at hand.

If you haven't noticed, there doesn't seem to be a lot of celebrating going on. Few people are making new years resolutions because they don't have anything they want to change that THEY can do anything about. In fact, doom & gloom beyond everyone's control seems to be the prevailing mood almost everywhere. And I'm not talking about anything having to do with Covid.

As the threadstarter, I can assure you that it is not the topic at hand.

To reiterate, the topic is "what are your new year's resolutions?"

Whether there's not a lot of celebrating going on (as though one can only take resolutions to heart if there's celebrating to be had) or your silly notion that they don't have anything they want to change that THEY can do anything about (feel free to pick one: eating healthier, weight loss, mental wellness, read more/netflix less, take up a hobby, clean out the cluttered living spaces), well, I'm really not sure why you're bringing the blah blah.

Maybe you have no resolutions. But seeing as how you and the champkian up there seem to have identical leaps of illogic, maybe a resolution for you would be to cut down on the alt-making.

I now have access to Cubans..........not DR leaves around an alleged "cuban' core, but really cubans hand-rolled along the inner thigh of cuban women getting sloshed on cuban rum.

And, that store is considered essential.

 

[Sean]

Not really a resolution, but for the first time in twenty odd years I'm seriously considering giving up the fags.

 

[nowisthetime]

Continue practicing self-care and be kinder to myself, it's ok to make mistakes.

 

[Adre]

I did ten years ago and I heartily recommend it.

It seems to me that the logic fail is yours whereby you cannot seem to grasp the simple concept that few are participating in this thread "because they don't have much they want to celebrate/change/alter in their lives."

People who are looking forward tend to embrace change or a chance to improve themselves. Those who have little to hope for tend to remain static.

Maybe your new year's resolution should be to pay more attention in class?

Participation as a barometer for logic? By that standard you must think that every pic thread is populated Stephen Hawking clones.

That's what I said. Good of you to agree with me.

But can I also point out that you just contracted the first part of your post?

I correctly identified your tissue paper-thin posts, so give me my hall pass.

 

[silver gurl]

Well once I feel up to it, get back into working out. i kinda strayed and need to get back on track. But it will need to be local, as in the basement for now.

 

[silver gurl]

Also figure out my Instant pot/air fryer contraption. To learn new recipes and some healthy cooking.

See, there is hope.
