Inertia, stopping everything and giving up would require slightly more emotional labor than the status quo.

When a new chapter gets released:
I've started blogging about videogames. So I'm just enjoying writing about stuff and looking forward to my posts on Wednesdays. No one reads it but it's nice to write my thoughts down about games that I play.
I really like learning things and every day I'm here, I have the opportunity to learn more.
Waiting for the day we finally and collectively eat the rich.
Lisa needs braces.
Dental plan!

I'm too fucking lazy to kill myself, that's what.
Sheer fucking will? A night of sleep? LSD? I dunno.
Video games, tbh. Absolutely love it when a new, good FPS drops.
I like reading books, having meals with my spouse, seeing friends, listening to music, dabbling with my hobbies, and petting our cat.
Oh; and drugs
The next Warframe expansion
My lucid dreams are unspeakably realistic, comprehensively and indistinguishable from reality. It's like waking up each night into a horrible dystopia.
In my nightmares, there's a global autocracy, a kind of maximalism of pain which forces people into mass slavery, but it's not even according to their whims, it's simply a price for existing.
I'd go on but it's too spooky and sad.
The rest of the time life's pretty good.
Well if you're lucid, can't you just like fly out of there or something?

The delusion that the world will inevitably turn out fine, despite occasionally saying the opposite. That, and the massive amount of stuff I still wanna do (games to play) and experiences to be had (music to be listened to, shows to be watched, computer mumbo jumbo to be learned)
Up to about the 1980s, the popular magazines used to frequently run cartoons with ragged-looking people holding up 'It's the END OF THE WORLD!!!!' signs. Guess they ran out of variants on that joke. But Doomsday Prophets have been around for centuries (some made big money from it) ... and yet ... here we all are.
We humans like to scare ourselves, but observation seems to show that it's not a big worry. Will it all end, sure, some day. When? NOBODY KNOWS. Carpe diem, my friend ... seize the day. And go ahead and make plans and execute them. Save your worry time for the little things that are inevitable.
Sunsets and sunrises; a butterfly. Watching deer walk. The hope of a healthier, happier, world for everyone.
