Never stop trying 🐿️
(lemmy.ml)
Untrue, you can win without trying
That's not true. Like if I don't try to win a game of poker, I don't lose money. If I don't try to pass a test, I don't fail the test.
That line of logic never works with teachers tho
Sure it does, have you ever failed a class you weren't taking?
No, but I have failed assignments that I didn't complete.
So you were trying to take the class. See, I didn't try to take that class and I didn't fail any assignments, even though I also didn't complete them.
Tell that to Luigi.
That’s why I don’t try — you can be certain of the outcome ahead of time 😎
Misses the "will forever be brooding about what would have happened if you had tried" outcome.
I much prefer the sharp pain of failure or rejection over the dull ache of regret. The acute pain will fade, the ache will linger.
I don't buy lottery tickets for a reason.
generally true but don't forget about luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing
Never stop never stopping
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take

There's plenty of situations that aren't polar win vs lose.
...do I go to the shops today, in bad weather, or tomorrow in good? This dumbass comic puts you in bad weather.
Do I try sending her a dick pic?
Do i push through the crippling social anxiety?
I'm hungry, do I try human flesh for the first time?
