Editor: seems this is a rehash of ABC's:
/(do sth.) just to console oneself/
Even this more coherent def doesn't satisfy me.

LA
姑且用來自我安慰。
ex: 作品發表了,稿費雖少,也可聊以自慰
nobody is doing sth 'just to console oneself' here, they are just finding some consolation in being published.
Diff:
- 聊以自慰 聊以自慰 [liao2 yi3 zi4 wei4] /just to console oneself (idiom)/
+ 聊以自慰 聊以自慰 [liao2 yi3 zi4 wei4] /to find some consolation (idiom)/to find relief in/
