@duetopain @ScriptCoded @progHammer @irene @PrivateGER hey this is a room for positive vibes only, the exit door is on the left sirs

Yea that's some r/getmotivated bullshit fake positivity right there. In reality, the most likely scenario is that you'll get fucked and there's jack shit you'd be able to do to start over.

@hashedram Sounds like you're just on the opposite side of the spectrum, which is just as irrational. If you're going to be delusional you might as well stick to positivity, it's not as depressing. And don't give me that "I'm a realist" bs, that's what all pessimists tell themselves.

@Hubot-0x58 I agree that being pessimistic is overall better for decision-making since erring in the side of caution is good for survival and all that, but it's also a recipe for depression and stagnation.
I believe that if you're truly rational and clear-thinking (by human standards at least) you're capable of both overestimating and underestimating your chances of success; not leaning too heavily one way or the other.
My point was that both extremes are destructive. I hoped that pointing out the irrationality inherent in pessimism would provoke some devs to take a closer look at their beliefs (since many value rational thinking highly and many frustrations stem from other people not being too good at using their brains).
Edit: I haven't met an overly pessimistic fellow who didn't lose touch with facts. -
@ihatecomputers oh fuck off with that optimism bullshit. What's delusional is reading an optimistic meme and believing life will turn out the same way.

retard72876yAfter I die, I'll become a crate and people will loot everything I've ever gathered in my entire life. Yeah I play PUBG.
No matter what happens in your life, you can start over.
