My New Year’s Resolution: To tolerate stupid people without wanting to hurt them, provided this also does not encourage them to take up more of my time.
– Bryathan Nobswobble
My New Year’s Resolution for 2025 is simple yet Herculean: I solemnly swear to tolerate the village idiots, the walking clichés, and the human embodiments of loading screens, all without plotting their untimely demise or, at the very least, without resorting to medieval methods of persuasion.
However, this newfound zen comes with a disclaimer: my patience is not an invitation for you to camp out in my DMs or to mistake my silence for interest in your 10-part saga of your uninteresting life story. Let’s keep this patience a brief affair, shall we? My tolerance has an expiration date, much like milk left out of the fridge while you go on a three-week vacation. And you don’t want to taste that, do you?
Here’s to a year of dealing with stupidity gracefully – or at least, with less visible contempt.
