I would love to spend the rest of my life creating open source software. Bonus points for working on my own projects and getting them to a state where other people can use them.

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Butt sex.
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
Yes and it is disorder for sure. Their brain is missing something crucial.

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.
This guy gonna get eaten by a bear day 1
I am actually deeply afraid of bears. So maybe not totally far off. lol

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.

Enough money to never work again, be comfortable, and live in isolation, preferably in the woods.

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?
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]
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...

I would like to live in a global society were the worst off person has a decent life. food, housing, medicine, education.
For things to stop getting worse
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.
I want a rusty axe, I wanna know voodoo, A fat bitch named bridgett, And a little sip of faygo too

My mom back
Money, so I can afford a completely impractical networking setup I'll never use to its full potential. It'll be damn fun setting it up though
I never thought I would care about having >1Gbps but transferring a Blu-ray disc has made me rethink that lmao
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.

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.
An RTX 5090
Proper wealth distribution for now and in perpetuity (no billionaires or trillionaires. Apparently my spell-check doesn't recognize the latter as a word, so it's got the right idea.) I'd like global warming to be fixed, AI to disappear, and for people to use critical thinking on a daily basis both for the news they encounter, and to reflect on their own beliefs.
Then once that's accomplished, I'd like to be aged back to my mid-20s so I can have a family. I love kids, but the idea is absolutely unfeasible with the way the world is. Even if things started getting fixed today, it would take years if not decades for everything to settle, and I'd be in the "advanced maternal age" camp with all its risks, or straight up going through menopause before it's all done. Even if I adopted, I'd rather have more youth myself so I can keep up with the kids.
The rich really, truly fucked the world (and shot themselves in the foot) by making it prohibitively expensive for so many of us to survive.
I want the american tech industry to stop ruining the world.
Being content and at peace without being constantly tired or feel shame and guilt about finding it.
To sleep a little more after an alarm wakes me up. Every time.
