I would like to have a girlfriend and maybe a family.
Daring today, aren’t we?
Trust me is something that is not going to happen to me. Might as well put it as a dream
imagine how you would better yourself if you were in a loving nurturing relationship. then start bettering yourself that way now, and your efforts will start to be noticed. people on the upswing are pursued.
That’s the problem.
But how do you know? You should recognise that your view of the world is based on your internal beliefs and not factual information. Defeatism isn’t going to get you there.
Username relevant?
I just wanna play an in-person campaign of DnD with like… 4 or 5 other people, and a good DM.
That’s all the adventure I need. But no friends and a strange work schedule tell me I won’t get it.
This isn’t the most glamorous or exciting thing, but I want to go to a furry convention sometime.
… I’m really typecasting myself here on Lemmy, aren’t I?
What’s a furry convention?
Basically, “furries” are animal people like in Disney’s Robin Hood and Zootopia, and the fans of those creatures. There’s some sfw art at !furry@yiffit.net if you want to see. Humans in media are boring. :P
Personally, I’ve seen it to be a very open, accepting and welcoming community. So I guess I romanticise being with a group of like minded people, which is something I’ve felt lacking in my life.
… Annoyingly, due to its history as an lgbt-friendly splinter group, it’s who a lot of the bigots started targeting when it became socially unacceptable to be honophobic online. Grumble grumble.
Just don’t trash the place like that one furry convention.
Wait, for real?
On the chance that you’re serious, this should tell you way more than you’d ever want to know about furries. (And if you aren’t sated by the time you’re finished reading that article, there’s a link to the page “Furry Convention” in the first paragraph.)
I knew it had to do with animals, but didn’t realize the fursona or expensive costumes. Thanks for the explanation. Seems a little odd, but harmless.

Don’t post the Down The Rabbit Hole documentary on Furries. Don’t post the Down The Rabbit Hole documentary on Furries. Don’t post…

Dammit, I posted it.
(I’m sorry SavvyWolf… For everyone here, that documentary doesn’t paint an entirely representative picture of the furry community as a whole.)
A place of degeneracy.
Sounds like am amazing goal. People on the internet can hate on furries all they want but connecting to like-minded people in the real world is really nice. I hope you get there.
Sailing around the world on a sailboat.
It would have been odd if you sailed around the world in a bus.
Otoh, it would have qualified as a proper crazy adventure.
Same! I looked into it myself, and it’s nearly impossible to pull off. Since I have no experience sailing, it would take me at least 2 yrs of training. I’d have to start off by volunteering as a hand on someone else’s sailboat. I’d also have to get a dingy to practice on.
Eventually, I’d need to find a reliable person that would also like to try this adventure out, is dedicated enough to develop the skills necessary, has the financial means to pull it off, and isn’t tied down by other responsibilities (eg house, family, etc.). We’d also need to get along extraordinarily well since we’ll be together for ~2 yrs in a small space and deciding where to go and what to do jointly.
Then, we’d need to drop ~$80k on a sailboat and another ~$20k on renovating it. Once that’s completed, we’d have to take a few shorter trips to test it out, such as sailing around the Caribbean.
Lastly, once underway, things could still get pretty bad. Mechanical issues aside, we’d have to worry about safety out in the open ocean. There could be violent assailants or storms. There could also be political unrest of unwelcoming area where we dock and resupply.
Basically, this adventure is really difficult to pull off because it’s not just sailing and living on a boat. There’s a lot more to consider.
It’s easier than you think! You can get your basic keelboat certification in about a month at a training place. Usually only takes four weekends. Once you have that under your belt, you’ll be able to rent at places and get some experience. The fundamentals of sailing don’t change, though with a bigger boat you will need to exercise some caution.
You can do it!
Thanks for the encouragement! I keep an eye out for opportunities and let people know I’m interested in case something shows up ⛵
Sailing is a liberating and exhilarating experience. I love it very much, and I’m sure you will to.
I would like to try hang gliding but also don’t want to admit this is likely a terrible idea!
What about something safer like base jumping?
The squirrel suit will save me!! :D
- Travel around my country in a camper van
- go parachute jumping
- go wingsuit flying
- hang gliding
- learn to sail a small boat
Crazy adventures? A happy, lasting, trustful relationship.
We’ll all make it one day.
I’ve been watching a lot of shiey on youtube and it makes me want to train hop. I went wandering for a few years when I was younger and I miss it sometimes, I hitch hiked all over, but never train hopped and now I’m a bit too tied down I probably won’t get the opportunity.
Not a regret exactly, but I do miss the freedom of living out of a bag and just waking up and traveling anywhere you want on a whim with no set dates or requirements other than making sure you have food and water.
I want to go to a Taco Bell in every country that it’s has them. I know Japan, India, New Zealand, and I believe the Dominican Republic have taco bells.
I like taco bell, and traveling. I would enjoy myself. They probably have unique menu items.
Spain has taco bell too, i have not tried taco bell ever though.
That’s so crazy that it may be your last adventure….might be worth it though. 🤤
I’d love to go caving!
Does caving also include going into caves that have been explored and secured before? Or do you mean full on diving into the unknown? Because ive seen too many video essays and read too much H.P. Lovecraft to even think about that.
I want to drive across Europe, Australia, and the Americas (not all in a row).
It would be nice to do Africa and all of Eurasia, but some shit would need to get fixed first.

I wish I knew. I’m not motivated enough about life to fantasize.
“Play with it while you have hands!”
What I’m trying to say, is: just do it, anything you feel like. Things only get more complicated later in life.
But I don’t feel like anything in particular. If someone were to tell me to “just do it” a trillion different random things have equal potential to come to mind. Should I tour the toothpick factory because that’s “a thing to do while alive”, as opposed to trying out at the tiddlywinks championship? That’s the issue, nothing that I would expect to be able to do draws me.
That’s sounds vaguely like “anhedonia”. You can try refreshing your interest in the hobbies you used to like. Joining your friends / relatives in their hobbies. Staying in the nature is always great, as long the nature is not hostile at your place. Staying around people, interacting with them, observing their lives, problems and joys. You’ll find something that suits you.
You wouldn’t be wrong. And yeah, I’m still trying to find some humans to connect to. It hasn’t been easy where I am.
