First week of 2024 and I had to put my dog of 15 years down, 2024 can fuck right off already, I'm done with it.

I feel you, I had to put my wife of 15 years down as well

[–] kameecoding 9 points 10 months ago

What kind of put down did you use?

You breath smells in the morning? Where there people there saying Daaamn for your putdowns?

Spill the beans mate

i'm going through a really nasty divorce. ex called child services on me to say that i'm a danger to my kids. they started an investigation. the whole process got really dragged out. i haven't been able to spend much time with my kids because while the investigation is ongoing, the judge ordered that i only would get them every other weekend from saturday morning til sunday evening. investigation wrapped up at the end of 2023. child services didn't find any evidence that I'm a danger, and did in fact find evidence that my ex has been putting them in danger. 2024 will be the year I get my kids back and the year this divorce is finalized.

I sympathize... I was going through a divorce myself, but stayed in the marriage for the child's sake. Still, it was a nasty divorce as well, all sorts of shitty moves on her side, plus some nasty plans I later found out about (when we got back together).

I sincerly hope you get custody of your children. Women are usually given custody of the children by default, but I've seen so many examples of just bad parrenting by women (including my own) that I think that this practice should end. Women may give birth to children, but that doesn not automatically make them the better parrent. This may have been true 30, 40 years ago, but in today's day and age, no way. Equal rights and an even playing field everywhere, including custody battles.

We've all realized that 2016 was our year. We already peaked.

Harambe was our last chance...

Man, 1993 was my year.

I was born in ‘94.

Oh I feel like if we add a "Last" before the year we could say it.

"It will be my last year."

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

I feel better about it than I did about 2023.

[–] turddle 11 points 10 months ago

It’s cuz we pre-ordered our copies of 2024 back in 2016. Limited edition year. All stock was already claimed by then.

I've actually got a few really cool things coming together in my life. Job is going well. Back on the bicycle as soon as it warms back up. Back in the gym now. Another "supplement" cycle upcoming. Just bought a house. The podcast went from 0 to several thousand downloads a month in 1 year. Starting a non profit that has a huge interest in donations already. May start twitch streaming for fun.

So I'll claim it. 2024 will be my year.

I haven't. This will be my year.

Why are these new years memes always accompanied by a picture of either Cillian Murphy or Ryan Gosling?

[–] KpntAutismus 10 points 10 months ago

ryan gosling is (probably jokingly) the mascot of depressed memes because he was pretty sad in blade runner, and it's probably similar with the oppenheimer dude, because he made some funny faces in the movie.

2024 is going to be my year 😏

[–] blanketswithsmallpox 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

2024 will be my year just like every year prior to it has been lol. Just it like it has been for the vast majority of humanity and will continue to be.
