So, it seems like we've all forgotten how to adapt here. So that people don't die because of stupidity, here's something that might help.

First thing, learn how to conserve your supplies. Rationing them will work. Even if you're hungry, you still have enough to get through whatever the scientists are pulling. Complaining and whining about a lack of things necessary is your fault.

Secondly, finding food elsewhere. The monsters can be bountiful for food and also supplies, like coats if you know how to skin them.

Heat? Chop down a few trees in the forest and start a fire.

Other things? Quit complaining. If you want to experience what it's like? Go live in Russia for a few years and learn how to brave the elements, then come back to me. Until then? Suck it up and stop complaining. You're in for the long run with how long this weather's gonna keep up. It's better to make the best of a bad situation.

And if you don't read this? Your fault for not taking advice on how to brave the cold.

Being homeless in New York is pretty tough, too.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Not exactly if you have street smarts and can learn how to steal food and scrounge supplies.

[blameshimself.livejournal.com]

There are, unfortunately, people who are above stealing, even in a time of desperation.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

You have to make do with what you've got, even if it's not part of who you are.

Turning into quite the advocate, aren't we?

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Who said I'm being an advocate? I'm sick and tired of people whining about a lack of supplies when there's ways to save them to make them last.

[eyesofgeass.livejournal.com]

I say let them be idiots. It will reduce the population for at least twenty-four hours.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Mm. You can't blame me for at least trying.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

It's somewhat comforting to know that another person here still maintains his rationality.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Mm. You can't find many of that kind here.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

At the very least, there hasn't been any riots caused by panic and fear.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

That's just what we need in this city -- a riot.

[notyourpage.livejournal.com]

All of this is borin'.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Suit yourself.

[notyourpage.livejournal.com]

And why would I wanna chop wood? IM NOTTA PAGE HER I DON'T GOTTA DO THAT STUFF!

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

If you want to freeze, then by all means, go for it.

[dividend.livejournal.com]

Finally, a sane voice in all of this.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Been having a hard time lately?

[dividend.livejournal.com]

You could say that. Panic doesn't get anyone anywhere.

[lovelyscientist.livejournal.com]

Useful advice.

[Too bad she only has the arm muscles to do that first one, but you can bet she's doing that first one to the extreme!]

I'm certain everyone will come out alright.

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

Mm. Hopefully, if they don't be idiots first.

[ Good, Lucrecia! ]

[lovelyscientist.livejournal.com]

Well if someone is I'm sure we'll hear them complaining about it before they die of starvation first. I'll do my best to assist them if that becomes the case.

I'm surprised you feel as though you have the right to give advice, considering your recent...downfall, shall we say?

[a-lone-flame.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you think you have the right to kick others down when you're still new here, yourself. Is your ego really that big?

[im-on-a-blimp.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to intimidate me by implying that because I am still new here, I will die soon enough myself and drop my "I'm better than you" attitude?

It's very unlikely.
