I've tripped several times in my life while walking. I've even hurt myself a few times. I don't go outside wincing to myself about whether I'm about to fall and hurt myself.

You choose the attitude you want to have in your life to disappointment and the attitude you bring to this site. You chose cynicism. You're going to crowd out people who don't make the same choice.

Your tripping example is incredibly patronizing.

I crashed my motorcycle years ago and have mild but still lifetime injuries. As a result, I've changed my behaviors and have put away my motorcycle. It's given me a place to reflect on what my own life is about, where I want to go, and the pain my family felt when they heard about the crash.

I choose the attitude of learning from the past and adjusting my behaviors.

I had a similar experience on my bike and chose to get back on, though it certainly took me a while, and I've stopped riding in weather and in other conditions. My family supported me in my decision. I guess you and I are just wired differently.

I try not to share my cynicism with the world too broadly because I think our modern era has too much of it. I think humanity is advanced by the wild dreamers.

You're making a lot of assumptions about me, what my risks are/aren't and... dude, can you not, please? I sold my motorcycle and once I recovered, I rented a motorcycle out in New Zealand as a sendoff and I reflect on that time with deep joy and appreciate the deep joy that others feel when they ride motorcycles. But I would not blame anyone for stopping, or infantilize them like you're doing to me now.

Yes, we're obviously different, but... dude.... dude. this is a damned conversation about a damned cloud server emulator that's not even close to 100% in-parity. It's perfectly healthy to inductively recognize that using such a system, like its sibling tools, might not continue receiving support.

Also, I'd argue that your post right before this one is cynicism so I'm not really sure I follow your point. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50459315

Sometimes things suck and it's okay to express our frustrations about them.

I guess I care because I've been on this forum for a very long time and everyone individually says that, but then the comment section as a whole turns into a hazard zone. Anyway I think I've engaged too much on this site for today.

Thank you for articulating in this reply what I've struggled to put into words, and what made me write the initial comment about cynicism on HN.
