BF2S Forums Life and dependencies and other complicated stuff

yes... and no

heres some solutions
problem 1 (the garbage):
A) empty your garbage, you dirty pig
B) discreetly dispose of the garbage in your nighbours back yard
C) burn it, like the bosnians

problem 2 (PSU)
... not much you can do here... when something dies on the machine that I can`t fix I usually just buy a new, better one.  Stuff only breaks every 5 or so years anyways... which is about the same time I usually upgrade.

Life is only complicated when you make it complicated.  You can do lots of small things that add up to simplify life in the long run.

Also, Bosnians aren't the only ones who burn trash.  Ever lived out in the country?  The city doesn't come out there to get your trash.  You have to find some place to dump it or burn it yourself.  I know a lot of farmers who burn their trash.  Hell, one of my friends just saves it all for big parties and we have huge bon fires![/b][/color]

I duno where you're from, but burning trash is very illegal and very much frowned upon here.  Never seen it here.

I say: if im not getting shot at, blown up, stabbed, or tortured... its a good day.

I'm from a backwords place known as Oklahoma!  It is great!  If you don't live in the city limits you can do pretty much whatever you want.  Mostly because the Sheriff has better things to do than to tell you not to piss off your back porch when your hammered and your room mate is passed out on the toilet. 

beeng, I agree with you to an extent.  I could have a great day after being shot at though.  Can I modify it to read "If I haven't been shot, blown up, or tortured it is a good day" ?  Mostly because I like being in 'difficult' situations.

I'm with Miakei here. It seems the little things bother us more than they used to, mainly because the big things have been fixed.

I believe life is quite a lot easier than it used to be. Just take a wider perspective. Housing, electricity, running water ( clean water, for that matter ), transport, affordable medicine for the whole family, public safety, food..

there are literally millions of people today on this planet who have none or little of the above mentioned. now that's what I call problems.

If I ever get the feeling that the small inconveniences of my daily life are starting to get me down ( ya know, trashcan full, PSU broke, favourite cheese sold out at K-Mart.. ) I imagine what it must be like to be living in some remote part of africa. after that, my little problems seem small and really manageable...

I guess as we grow older, we start taking up more responsibility for ourselves and others ( possibly wife and kids ). and we also have more things we own. this will change our perception of the things around us quite drastically. I believe it is vital to keep your focus on what's really important in life, to keep the right perspective.

In other words: when we were young, we didn't have anything else to worry about but daily inconveniences ( which seemed like big problems back then ). Now that we are all grown up and worry about other things, we somehow believe we should have a right not be bothered with the little stuff any more.

well, I guess life doesn't work like that. you gotta deal with the whole package. possible solutions:

1. get a housekeeper and make her get out the trash
2. get kids and make them do it ( will only work for a while though and then you still gotta pay for college )
3. make your wife / GF do it ( and prepare for a costly divorce )
4. adapt a more positive attitude towards the little things in life

example for no. 4 ? here goes: one day, I discovered that the fan of my graphics card was broken, resulting in overheating and possibly card failure. no FPS gaming for sure. so I called the retailer and sure enough they would have to send in the card and wait for replacement. When I got there they told me it could be a couple of weeks before the card would be back. I was devastated. In fact, I was so down I asked the girl in the cue behind me if she'd go out with me. to my surprise, she agreed ( we had been talking about stuff while we waited in the cue ). So I got there with a broken graphics card and left with a date.

Point is: don't let little things bug you. make the most of them

did that make sense ?

B. is pr0!

And I agree, life could always be worse, so be grateful of that. Think Kashmir, now that sucks, the all the little problems I've got associated with moving flat are nothing. The fact that somewhere to live and all the stuff that makes my life comfortable are giving me one or two... complications... is nothing compared to the problems I'd have if I had nowhere to live, not possessions, and a septic leg.

So many sicoligest. PEW. Get a remote controlled vehicle and mount a camera on it and sit at your broken computer and drive man drive... Eat the trash would be a good idea. Get off your lazy ass and GetRdone.
