The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything

Very lame of me, but I’m really looking forward to the Conservatives losing the next British General Election.

Not from the UK but excited for that too. Asking just out of curiosty because I’m not too informed on the matter, do you really like the labour program or just happy to see conservatives kicked out?

Also I was thinking we should stop calling them conservatives and start calling them retrogrades since (at least in my country) they want to strip people of acquired rights making us go back in time.

I think “regressives” is suitable term.

I am actually excited for the Labour programme, though I realise I’m in the minority! The lack of enthusiasm is mainly because people have so little faith things will actually get better and partly because Labour haven’t always been great at communicating why they’ve made (IMO necessary) changes to their policies.

Agree with you about conservatives, but that has always been the problem with conservatism, unfortunately.

My wife is next to me, holding me in her arms while she sleeps. I am excited for her to wake up naturally and then we will go get bagels from our favorite bagel place.

That’s wonderful. My wife and I are similarly close and I find myself constantly looking forward to spending time together.

I’ve been working every day since January. Every weekday, every weekend day, every day. But finally on June 15th I’ll be down to one remote job and can go sailing for a few weeks straight. I’ve finally sort of got my finances in reasonable shape, I’ve paid off my car, and have a little breathing room.

That’s awesome! I commend people who can work nonstop like that. I hope you enjoy your well deserved break!

I bought a steam deck and have been checking every day waiting for it to arrive… Or even be shipped! They finally packaged the damn thing!

Yeah the shipping was weirdly the only bad part of the experience. You’re in for a great ride!
