Probably not sorry enough to stop pretending to be a teenage boy.

Forget this predator.

I had so much fun with hyper card! We had to use it in my programming class, I made a small text based RPG out of it!

How so? Seemed reasonable enough for the few things I checked.

And let me guess, you're a realist who always has the exact right amount of positivity or negativity that each situation requires.

Funny, I'm typically used to people leaning towards pessimism as the "smarter" perspective, and optimists being considered in naive or ignorant to "How things really are."

And reading your post in that context felt like reinforcement of that concept.

To be perfectly clear, I'm more optimistic, and I believe that if someone's pessimism is constantly bringing them down, then they should probably not lean so hard into it. But I wouldn't say one is better than another, we need as many differing perspectives as possible to create real working solutions.

Realists are just people who refuse to believe that their perspective is skewed.

Imagine the arrogance to think that your life experiences are exactly what's required to be right and completely objective all of the time

I see what you're saying, but perspective is not equatable to a math equation. An optimist and a pessimist can both have a complete understanding of the facts, but one predicts that things will get better, and the other predicts that things will get worse, and eventually, given enough time, they'll both be right.

There is no such thing as a realist. That's just what someone calls themselves when they don't realize that their perspective is flawed and unique to themselves.

I just changed it.

Well, that would be fair, except I've stated no preference for pessimism:))

I'd argue that your tone throughout the post says otherwise, but if I misinterpreted that, the only word I would change is the "you" in the last sentence to "pessimists". As not to point fingers, but the point still stands

More importantly than having bread on the outside is being handheld.

Yes, you can eat anything with your hands, but cake is typically a fork food.

The only difference between optimism and pessimism, is that you prefer one over the other. The only people that think pessimism is closer to reality than optimism are the pessimists, because that's literally how pessimism works.

Optimists think pessimists are just depressing and further from reality.

I'm pretty simple. I jot things down in docs and put everything in my calendar. Everything is on the cloud so I can always find it. Wherever, whenever.

I didn't even mind the picture, but I'm not a fan of people acting like a child in the comments.

Oh, we knew.

Why worry about the thoughts of someone you may never meet?

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that they'd be THAT far ahead of the curve. I might believe that they had a computer to promote or sell their business, but to set up their own server? How would they even know?

This one is disappointed with Maiq's use of pronouns.

You're overthinking it. Is everyone having fun? Then it's all good. When you find a guy who you connect with on a deeper level, go for it.
