I mean between fear of Trump winning the election, A.I. replacing people 100% and all of today's kids being hopeless I'm just curious what prompts everyone to get up and face the day.

Not really. Still hopeful and active for what it's worth.

I just wonder what motivates the people who seem to believe that positive changes are no longer a thing. I'd like to think some of the downer threads/comments are just posters blowing off steam.

Spite

I exist to cause others misery

Nature gave me an annoyingly strong self-preservation mechanism and I haven't yet expired naturally or from the hand of another.
My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use)
Ironically, the existential despair is what drives me. The planet is quickly dying, fascism is on the rise, corporate overlords are trying to automate humanity, and there's nothing I can do about any of it. We're racing to oblivion and will probably reach it before my natural lifespan ends, so I might as well grab as much joy as I can while I still have the chance~

Blood, why are you being like this?
I have no desire for suicide or death, so I'm stuck living.

Man I'm depressed and haven't felt happiness in years, don't remember when it didn't hurt. Some days I feel nothing. Those are the good days.

You don't need motivation to live. That's the worst part about it. You can be alive and have no purpose for it. Just a life without meaning and devoid of joy. The only way out is death but it's not like you want to die necessarily. Much like life means nothing, dying also seems pointless since you'll die at some point anyway just like how you were born. (Note to mods I am not suicidal and I make sure to stay hydrated and horny) So you just wait every day for the night to come and every night you wait for morning. Every day for the rest of your worthless life.

And that's kinda what motivates me I guess. I'm not dead so I must live. It doesn't have to be complicated.
My maid will hear about this.

My wife and daughter mostly

If I dont get my ass out of bed and clock into work then they go without, and I want to give them the best life possible especially since my wife had such a shitty childhood.

Plus Im on a debt pay down plan and can finally see a dim light at the end of the tunnel and Im just picturing how fucking great it will be to not owe any money to banks anymore.

i don't really think about it, just keep going forward.

I enjoy picking up litter. It gives me a feeling of satisfaction to walk on a sidewalk that is clean now because I cleaned it.

Try that.
Now or never.
I've never needed anything to keep me going, I just do. Probably helps that I'm naturally happy and in excellent health.
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Hope and forced optimism.

Well for me, Hobbies and family.

The Packers season, guessing it ends Saturday. Once then, the anticipation of spring and summer.
While I dont want Trump to win the election, Im not unduly worried about it. I dont think it would actually impact me or anybody close to me.

AI still seems way off being a threat to my livelihood. Its nowhere near sophisticated enough. I also plan to retire in the next 6-8 years.

I dont feel a need for something to keep me going because life is good.

We own the Packers, the Niners own us unfortunately.

My family and other people who aren't as fortunate as myself that I can strive to make their live's better.
Awwwww--that's awesome
There is no good. There is no evil. There just is.
the hope that maybe we will find aliens before I die
My nephew in particular, my family in general and the hope of living to see the total immersion gaming revolution are about it. It's certainly not this wretched country with Slug Virus and his zombie cult or cruel antitheists who hide behind the fact they aren't as bad as the religious right.* Fuck I hate this timeline and I really hate having to pretend like everything is fine and that most people at their core aren't as different from their troglodyte ancestors as they think they are.
