Fuck 2023! Don't @ me with trite msgs about hope. If anything hope is the 1st step toward disappointment 🤣

It's not easy but learning to recognize and accept what is in your control and what isn't is one of the most important things you can do. So many disappointments in life come from things we really have no control over and should not have expectations of in the first place.

I was already a weird mixture of Buddhism, Stoicism and Absurdism with no expectations of anyone and even then 2022 messed me up pretty bad.🤣

Holidays are a big deal, I’m not a news years expert but there’s theories why video games launch around this time of the year eventually every month will have two-three holidays.

That's life. All we can do is focus on what is within our control and push through the hits as best we can. Truth be told life can and will just batter us from time to time and it becomes a matter of focussing inward, avoiding comparing ourselves to anyone else, and just doing what we can to get through it.

When I hit hard times I often fall back on this speech. Yeah it's from a movie, but I find that there's a lot of truth to it and it helps to hear the struggle stated so succinctly

There are entire industries of conmen selling "get ahead" / "get rich" schemes with minimal effort. Don't fall for them. This includes day-trading the stock market, which is an extremely popular get-rich-quick scheme for "our" (i.e. typical NeoGAF) demographic.

Getting ahead requires time and effort. Doesn't matter what you meant in your OP, but I assume you are talking about money. The highest-certainty path to get ahead is education. The highest-certainty fields are STEM or the Trades.

If you are already late to the game, don't waste another day. Start your application literally today, Christmas Day. There are no excuses. Part-time education at a local community college is available to everyone. It's just a matter of whether you are willing to put in the time and effort to "get ahead", or not.

Lift weights. Change to a pork based diet. Lift weights. Invest in penny stocks. Lift weights. Drink Pepsi. Lift weights. Read a book. Lift weights. Hunt deer with toothpicks. Lift weights. Buy brain pills. Lift weights. Get a Canadian life coach. Lift weights. Just be rich, it's easy. Why aren't you already rich? Everyone's rich on the internet. Why aren't you? Lift weights. Take a night class. Lift weights. You'd have been rich by now if you'd lifted weights. Why haven't you been lifting weights? It's disgusting. Your disgusting. Lift weights. Stop being disgusting and lift weights.

Get ahead of the game...tell me about it. I've been playing Contra for over 25-years and have never beaten it. We're talking that kinda game right?

Seems like my post is flying over some people's heads so let me explain. What I meant by getting ahead of the game is telling 2023 Fuck you right now before it even starts instead of waiting the whole year to say Fuck you 2023.

If I hope to win the lottery every year then yeah.

If I have an inner hope that if I try my best then I live another day.

You dont know me but I've lost hope many times on such a fundamental level I'm still suprised I'm here alive and typing at this very moment.

What's to hope for when all you get/feel is disappointment. Right.


That hope. That inner feeling. It's the reason I'm still here able to shitpost and give advice you didn't asked for.
