Have you grown used to accepting things that are undesirable?  Have you toughened yourself to something?  Out here, just to the left of the middle of nowhere, there’s a lack of a selection of great beers.  I deplore this, yet I’ve become habituated to it.  Journalists cover violence and mayhem and they grow accustomed to it.  Children living in war zones grow up knowing nothing else; they are used to it.

1. to accustom to accept something undesirable <children inured to violence>
2. intransitive verb : to become of advantage <policies that inure to the benefit of employees>
