I'm thankful that I haven't fucked it all up, yet.

Just gotta keep that going and I'll be good.

We don't do Thanksgiving here in Australia, but there are many, many things I am thankful for in my life; having a roof over my head, clean water to drink, enough food to eat, enough money to live comfortably and even afford luxuries like games, an amazing supportive family and friends, living in a country with universal health care so that my current health crisis hasn't given me any money problems, and especially at the moment my little helpers clonazepam, risperidone, efexor, and neurofen. XD

Thursday, November 28th is Thanksgiving Day in the US, Canada, Japan, and Germany as well as a few others.  

I know there is some controversy regarding this holiday, as with all holidays, but I would love for all of us to take the time to celebrate the spirit of this day.  We all spend a lot of time wishing for this or complaining about that, but this day is a day of acceptance and appreciation. So what are you thankful for?  It could be gaming related, or hobby related, but it could also be something on a more personal level.  No thread is without its share of snarkiness, so I'm assuming we'll get a few of those responses as well. 

Hope you're all able to spend the day with your families and enjoy a warm, home cooked meal.  I'm only responsible for bringing rolls and stuffing, so that would be the first thing I could say I'm thankful for.

And you?

Nothing. I don't like mankind, I don't like earth, I don't even like the universe, I think it's stupid, it's just big and does nothing, at least nothing at our time scale. I didn't ask to be alive and I am not asking to eventually die so I really don't have to thank anyone for anything... Or anything for anyone!

But if you absolutely insist I say something positive, I could say I'm glad TV's and video games exist, I love video games and also some shows on Netflix. But should I thank the idiots that invented Netflix and video games? Hmmm I don't know, maybe I should... BUT I WOOOOOON'T !!!

And what would "something" be?

Indeed because it never stopped doing something since the conception,so i also wonder what he views as "something".



I am thankful for so much these days. I'm thankful for friends, and family. For having a roof over my head, food in my belly, and maybe even the thought of being debt-free for the first time in 15 years. I'm thankful to have my health despite all my efforts to sabatoge my body with terrible habits and a pretty crappy diet. I'm very thankful that Nintendo has been able to rebound from the commercial failure that was the WiiU and to live in a time where just about any game can be played on the go. Of course, I'm also thankful that VGC continues to exist despite the heralding of the end of times for this little site. I may not be online as much as I was back in the late oughts, but I still enjoy checking in to see what's abuzz around these parts.

I clearly added "Nothing... at our time scale". Why do people always forget part of what you say when replying or disagreeing or debating?

Anyway at our time scale the universe does absolutely nothing. For something to happen in the universe millions of years must pass. Try to see a star move away from where you see it today. It does move but by the time it does, you'll be so long dead and forgotten, your entire civilization may be too.

So at our scale, the universe does nothing, it just stands there, big and static and that's all. So I decided I don't like the universe and in accordance with the topic of this thread: I will not thank the universe for its laziness (as perceived at our time scale).

Buuuut it is not static as it is in constant movement and also at our time scale,we ourselves and anything in this Milky Way is moving extremely fast around the Black hole in the center,thank the hole! :p

You do not need to see it for it to exist.
