But you've managed to get by so far, how?

Self deception.

I set fire to people's underpants so that I can keep warm.

By living in a fuzzy state of mind which keeps me from thinking the truth

i get by with a little help from my friends.

Shut up.

What makes you think everyone manages to get by?

I sell my organs on ebay

I just wander around like a lost lemming, fortunately I have so far avoided the great cliff of doom.

I get by with the help of my Family and Friends. Without them I have a very hard time.

Way to bring an air of positive aura to this thread, pal... :rolleyes:

...Funny! :rolleyes:

Call it sheer luck.

Call it sheer luck.

And chaos as well, of course.

My answer isn't on the poll. My answer is that the world is not cold and harsh.

Choose the 2nd last opinion, then.

I devour emo kids! Run while you still can! :p

I spend 21 hours a day on NS...

i have gotten by so far by being a treetop flyer, born survivor. There's things that i am and things im not... (I guess that would be option ninja) and with a little help from my friends.

Two excellent songs, btw.

drugs. and family when i'm not on em


edit: plus an overactive imagination keeps me out of the cold, harsh reality as much as possible

TV, books, and videogames. I guess that fits in the drugs/etc. department.

Denial, eh? That's an intriguing approach...

Survive? I didn't survive. Please leave a message at the tone of the beep.

*Beep*

Hey, I help to make it cruel and harsh. It's my job. :p

These sound like a bunch of answers to an internet quiz.

Rigid application of self discipline and the utter certainty that I'm one of the only three real human beings on the planet, all others being hedonistic degenerates.

As you can see, drugs and friends help me through this bitter, bitter world.

I dont find it cold and harsh. There are always problems to deal with, but they always work out. I try to make my own luck by being prepared.
Thats life.

Seconded. There are rewards and lots of nice things, too. Do the necessary work in all aspects of life and enjoy yourself. It's not that bad, really.

What i do is grab a book and read it and then another one then another one...im hoping im in a dream world and that the books im reading are real. I hope that God will help me and get rid of all the pain. *waits*................*grabs books* for now ill read these. ill just wait for God

That cartoon meerkat is absolutely right.

By getting a fucking decent job.

I accepted that it sucks.

Then I decided it's interesting enough to learn everything I can. I am now studying human misery and deciding that I'm one of the luckiest people in the world.

I either fool myself into thinking I can alter reality by sheer force of will and therefore am completely out of it, or I can really do it and therefore can call everyone else "my little playthings". Anyways, why didn't you put the "Megalomaniacal insanity" as an option there?

Choose "other" you dimwit. :headbang:

Glad you liked it...i'm thinking i have to change my sig now...

Choose "other" you dimwit. :headbang:

I would, but, being a megalomaniacal psycho, I think I'm too good for an "other" option. :D

But you've managed to get by so far, how?
Well, I remind myself that I shouldn't commit suicide, because I have people in this world who depend on me to make it to the next day, and it is my responsibility to them NOT to kill myself.

I used to make an effort to blend in, but not fit in, to my surroundings... you know, I didn't belong, but I was practically invisible, so I could observe human nature and listen on people's private conversations and stuff. That was fun.

Recently, I got blue streaks in my hair, and I find that the more people react negatively to it, the less I care how they react. :D

I sell my organs on ebay
That's an interesting coincidence. I buy people's organs on EBay!

1. lifting weights
2. alcohol
3. drugs
4. sex

repeat as necessary

The world is cold and harsh...
But the moon is a harsh mistress :D

Choose "other" you dimwit. :headbang:
You're very in-your-face, aren't ya?

You're very in-your-face, aren't ya?

That's how I got by so far.

Bump

As long as your completly numb (managed in the means of your choice) the crudeness of the world is quite funny to watch...its a great past time you should try it.

I just don't take anything serious anymore, other than my education.
Everything else really is just hilarious, people just don't have a sense of humour.

I tape people when they are naked, and then I Black Mail them :)

I am also into selling weapons, and antrax to terrorists :D

I have oral sex with ugky women for cash.. etc.......

When it comes to fighting i use a spoon..... ;)
Couse then people think i am retarded and leave me alone :cool:

God bless Uraguay

Peace out

I live in, how do you say, a first-world country. We don't have that much to worry about execpt failing the next test or whatever.

By not caring.. I dont think i am managing it .. but what can you really do , but to just keep going ? Theres no other option..except suicide..

If I am going to take suecide I hope to do it with a lot of people, like a cult.

It would be so cool, suecide alone is just depressing, I have to have at least 50 people with me :D

Do you want to join my suecide cult ;)

I'll join...on the one condiction that when i freak out and try to bail at the last possible second, you have to beat me senseless into i see reason again. :p

But you've managed to get by so far, how?
A combination of good genes, intelligence, luck, verbal accuity, firepower and just sheer cussedness! :D

When I start getting too old to ... um ... function, or if I get some dread disease, I'm going to seek out a terrorist group, convince them to let me join up, then detonate my suicide bomber's belt when we're all gathered to plan the next terrorist act. Mwahahahahaha! :D

LOL! Well, there are times for being modest and times when modesty isn't appropriate. After all, it was the question the thread was asking! :p

*Resurrects thread with Satanic ritual...of bumping!!*

I am an Absurd Hero!

But you've managed to get by so far, how?

I exploit the working man.

I'm too lazy to kill myself. :headbang: :sniper:

Dude! WTF, over? :eek:

I have made it through Life with the guidance of the Almight Lord which art in heaven. I also have been given a gift of persuasion and such. In High school people told me i was the most charming, most likely to hold a high office, and most persuasive. Yay Me! :D

Well, that and I have this insatiable need to see if life gets better. I don't actually want to die (well not anymore -- long story, don't ask), but I ain't turning handsprings either. Besides, I've put all this effort into going back to school, it'd kind of be stupid to end it before I can see if I can actually graduate.

I should probably stop myself from pointing out that the complete pretentiousness of this statement indicates that you are either (a) attempting to convince yourself of something that isn't true or (b) flat out lying in order to bolster what is, I am certain, a complete lack of self-esteem. Yes, I really should stop myself before I say that, shouldn't I.

I get the strenght to do so from God/Satan/my family/my friends/alcohol/drugs/etc.
Alcohol, Drugs *points to sig. link*

My silver tougue. I can presuade and argue my way through life.
Dont mess with me, I will win. :p

Well, at least you don't have cancer, do you??

I'm too lazy to kill myself. :headbang: :sniper:

Yes, killing oneself takes more effort then first meets the eye.

Well, at least you don't have cancer, do you??
hrmm.. A good friend of mine had breast cancer, finishing chemo, coming back soon :D. Like she said to me, "As long as you dont give up, you'll survive" ;) *tugs pink bracelett* "shuddup i think its kew"

ah crap.. i think i just sounded nice. grr *grabs crotch and spits*

You got me there. You win. Cancer beats 38, alone, and in a wheelchair (I know, stop whining and do something about it. I'm working on it). Believe me, I don't envy your situation. How's that going , BTW?

The world is cold and harsh....
But the moon is a harsh mistress! :D

How do I get by? Generally, by knowing that the world is cold and harsh. Remember, knowledge is half the battle.

GI JOOOOOOOOEEEEE!

But specifically, I'm a ninja that spends most of his time creeping through the darkness, but when superior firepower is needed, I bring it strong. Like golden-plated bazooka strong. And a little silver-tongued arguing never hurts.

good old fashioned denial :D

But the moon is a harsh mistress! :D

I, uh, don't get it. :confused:

Things seem to work themselves out. I just sit somewhere warm and soft until that happens.

You're a Liberteran, aren't you?

The world is cold, harsh, and bitter. People are greedy, materialist hypocrites. The center no longer holds. Kindness and honesty are no longer ideals. There are no more good, true people whom the taint of hypocrisy has not touched. And that makes the world incredibly, bitterly, mordantly hilarious. The only way to survive is through bitter laughter. Otherwise, I would have committed suicide long ago. (Actually, I still occasionally have thoughts of doing that, as people are starting to think I'm crazy with my 'ramblings' about how all creation works, but that's just me.)

I, uh, don't get it. :confused:

that may be, but i wont give it up that easy! *puts on war helmet*

Well, then your sanity is DOOMED!!
What sanity? ;)

You make the best of it. What else can you really do?

I only have two choices. To survive or not. I didn't really choose but I am surviving.
