Politely steps out of the way of a photo...

...Into the literal Grand Canyon.

I'm glad he's okay.

Task failed successfully!

Kinda seems like good luck to me.

Good luck is not falling in the first place.

Difference in outlook, I suppose. I'd call not falling the "default state".

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Regardless, almost dying and ending up in the hospital definitely seems like a negative relative to the neutral "default state".

[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Not when you compare it to the alternative outcomes of falling off a cliff!

Think it's been thoroughly established that this is gonna be a difference of opinion.

It's good that he survived. It's bad that he fell into the Grand Canyon. There, I solved it.
