I do that, and it's the only reason I'm alive. Be happy when you can, because it can always get worse. Might as well enjoy what you can. :D
The knowledge that your situation could be worse isn't very good motivation to live. In fact, it's a bit the opposite.
 

Sorry, I mistated.

I try for "I can make this better," instead of "Well I might get fucked EVEN HARDER!" as motivator.

I meant for it to sound more like that, but it's late and I just got done writing a massive wall of text for a fanfic.

Kaijyuu, I totally know where you're coming from.

I have friends who have had tremendously abusive parents and have gone through terrible divorces. I know some who have effectively been abandoned by their parents. Some whose families couldn't afford to feed them besides their school lunches. Some who got jumped and beaten up after high school for being gay. Some whose 13-year-old siblings got dragged into heroin.

I've got nothing even comparable to that stuff.

Just because you and Kaijyuu haven't had shitty things happen to you does not mean you should feel bad about feeling bad. It should only help you put it into perspective. If you have a shitty day, try to remember it could be worse and be happy about something in your day.

Yeah, I know. For a while it made me feel worse but I've gotten over that. I mean, I guess I really haven't gotten depressed in ages, so I might still feel like that, but I only really feel bad about it when I'm really sad and talking to one of the people I know who's worse off than me.

'Kay, so last night I picked up my glasses and there was this sizable looking scratch going diagonal across one of the lenses. Was seriously going "shit" looking at it. I've got another set of mostly functioning glasses, but the folks that made them royally fucked up and most of the outer bits of my vision aren't in focus because of whatever they screwed up with the lens -- gives me an absolutely massive headache within an hour or two of wearing them and kills my peripheral vision even more.

This morning... this morning, I took my fingernail and scratched at it a bit. Hope springs eternal, right? Maybe it'll come off, I joke to myself forlornly.

... it came off. Looked like a heavy scratch, felt like a scratch. Wasn't. Huh. Nae complaining, but that surprised me. A happy-ish WTF.

Rule number one of fixing shit that looks scratched. Verify that the scratch is, in fact, a scratch :P

Ha, yeah... yeah. I will say, thinking on it, I'm actually pretty impressed by whatever the hell they did to scratch proof these things' lenses. Despite using the same ones for at least four years now and semi-regularly sleeping on them, they've somehow managed to come through without damage. S'honestly a lil'awe inspiring. S'like, what elder gods blood did they coat these lenses in? And, how do I get some for like my windshield.

Many a people in Day Z have a great fear of a specific place: Green Mountain. What strikes me odd is why everyone's afraid of it. The more stories I hear about the place, the more I want to go see for myself.

Maybe he's just underestimating the amount of DNA humans share? /optimist

I was typing something up, when I just spewed this out for no reason (It is taken slightly out of context here, but still, it's just as WTF in context.)
Quote
...contemplating the fact that true nothingess is unstable. {So basically the fact that non-existence has a tendency to hiccup existence into being for no good reason from... Well, there aren't really any words to describe how this kind of thing works out, chronologically speaking, since the fact is that non-existence means not only no spatial dimensions, but also no temporal component, so time means absolutely diddly-squat, so everything could be said to happen all at once when talking about this hypothetical multiversal framework, but that still uses terminology that indicates some kind of chronology which is not the case because non-existence means no time which means nothing's happening/happened/is going to happen and everything's happening/happened/is going to happen, not necessarily in that order/lack thereof, which in and of itself is confusing as hell and... ARGH! Let's just sum it up as this: Shenanigans

All I have to say is what the fuck was I on?

The best part is that Vorthon is right in that; probability people are so worked up by the concept that they say "fuck it, time's gonna just stop in the next few billion years"

Note that he said "At least." I'm guessing he doesn't actually know the amount of DNA humans share so he's just using the chimp statistic for convenience.

Windows 8 will put achievements in Minesweeper and Solitaire. I'm starting to think Microsoft has a division whose purpose is to create satire of other divisions' work.
Quote
‘Xbox Windows’ is a title Microsoft’s hoping we’ll see a lot more of, as it tries to mash its two most famous brands into one in the hoping of direct-selling games on Windows 8 PCs and tablets. Under this new banner come Win, Minesweeper becomes the Metro-styled Microsoft Minesweeper and offers Achievements and Gamerscore points for such highly tactical endeavours as losing the game. Solitaire and Majong (that latter admittedly not much of a PC staple) will similar treatment, report the strange scientists on Xbox360Achievements.org.
Wow. Yeah, they definitely have an official satire division.
