I found the person who opened a $25k loan in my name after they stole my identity. I have a PI investigating them currently to document their patterns.

2026 is going to be a good year.

Also, the new Fable.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I've been working on a novel, so finishing and publishing would be grand.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Elections in my country. And you can imagine my general level of excitement if this is the thing I'm the most excited about.

But this fucker has been in his position for 15 years now, polarising society, being Putler's buttplug, undermining the EU and the sanctions, protecting pedos, even trying to ban Pride, and selling out the country to China/Russia. This is pretty much the last hope to do something against that, since he's been eroding democracy and installing puppets everywhere while moving all the country's money to places he has personal control of.

And the only opposition runner who actually has realistic chance against him is also rather shady/sus. And this is the best thing we got.

Always a helpful thing with how the world is.

Full operation of the Vera Rubin observatory. 20 TB of data every day. The first images before it’s even fully set up discovered a couple of thousand new asteroids.

Hopefully you get to do what you wish to do in the future.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah. I'm getting too high up in the corporate ladder for my liking.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

DT getting beaten in the midterms.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

I'm hoping that he gets more than beaten myself. Of natural causes.

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

I don't think elections will have an effect on internal US politics in the future. I think this train has passed. You have a xenophobic, militaristic, populist, antiparliamentarian, government. Historically, these tend to cling to power, no matter what.

Yours is going starting a war in Latin America out of thin air. This, plus the silencing of internal dissent through a variety of means, will help keep them in power.

My boyfriend hopefully getting his stay extended for 2-3 more years (and HOPEFULLY FINALLY GETTING A BETTER JOB)

[–] sam@break3.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That sounds amazing, I hope that happens and you both have a wonderful time, Maybe take him out for a picnic or something to celebrate.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

We already set out to go out fancy once they signed a contract. We are going out next saturday for a great japanese restaurant we love and then watching the new avatar. I dont think there will be any problems with them getting extended their stay, we already had it extended once. But you never know...And well job market is terrible. They have been writing 25 applications each week for the last 8 months and in general job hunt for 3 years

Oh god, I kinda fear waking up on the morning of November 6, 2028 and seeing that map go red (if there even is an election)

I'm gonna get like 2024 flashbacks, go into another, even worse, depression spiral

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 2 points 15 hours ago

I can assure you, with absolute certainty, there will be an election. All of the most brutal dictatorships have elections, usually with the dictator (and his cronies) getting 90+%. They do not have any meaningful opposition on the ballot.

It will happen, but it may not be real. And that's exactly what we need to watch for, and be outraged over, because it is happening TODAY.

I'm getting a new 3d printer for Christmas, so I'm excited to see the quality improvements in printing technology since my 2017 CR-10S

Do you really think GTA 6 is coming out this year? I want to believe 🥲

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Between tbe parent company's greed and most of the talent at R* North (including the writers) leaving the company, I kinda have doubts that GTA6 will even be good.

[–] sam@break3.social 1 points 1 day ago

I really hope so but the UK Government is seeing possible anti-union issues with Rockstar, so really unsure what is actually going to happen.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Can't wait for Mewgenics. Love Edmund's stuff.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Like 2 furry movies (Hoppers and GOAT) and the Toxic Avenger reboot.

[–] kubofhromoslav@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Couple of kind-of-large projects in my nonprofit organization. I have learned how to manage them, so the ones will be easier from administrative point of view. I am especially looking forward for the project to bring longevity more into public.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Ordered a new hunting rifle. Never had a brand new one myself, always preowned.

In my country, you are only allowed to own firearms if you are 1) a hunter or 2) an active member of a shooting club. I just registered and now I am on the wait list. 2026 will be the year I buy my first firearm ever. Some kind of pistol. Eager to learn! :)

[–] sam@break3.social 3 points 2 days ago

Oh nice, Never hunted myself but have used a .22 in the past. Hope getting your new hunting rifle goes well and you can sight it in correctly for hunting season.
