in Norway, "up and not crying" is a not uncommon response to "how's it going" type questions, and I feel like that's a very reasonable standard to hold oneself to nowadays
@kimk In German we say "Muss ja." which kinda translates somewhat to "Well I have no other choice"
@TiiaAurora @kimk was about to bring that one to the table too haha
@CaptainHanyuu @TiiaAurora @kimk Iโ€™m trying to think of an equivalent reply in English. โ€œCanโ€™t complainโ€ comes close. :)
@timrichards @CaptainHanyuu @TiiaAurora @kimk
But like, you can complain. Most people I hear "can't complain" from are people I've heard complain. I trust in their ability. Go on. You can do it!
