A condensed version of a lot of things, as expressed to our management team.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Look, assholes, I'm only going to explain this ONE MORE TIME:  The universe doesn't CARE what you feel is "inconvenient".  It is NOT going to bend the rules for you because you're extra-special and a White American to boot.  No.  It doesn't give a shit.  Neither do I, so I don't understand why you keep coming to me, whining that it's so Goddamned UNFAIR that you can't exceed the total number of amps available on the utility "for just a little while".  These things are NON-NEGOTIABLE, because there's nobody to negotiate WITH.

It's just the way it is. 

Sorry about that.

Now fuck off.

These People remind me of Rachel Haywire and her fellow screwhead transhumanists. 

SORRY, IF THAT SHIT DOES HAPPEN, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU SUPPORT THE IDEA.

Shit, same thing goes for libertarians, come to think of it.  The system will NOT reward you for your faith in it.

The universe is what it is, and no amount of wishful thinking or sigil-casting BULLSHIT will change a fucking thing.  You either learn to work with what's there, or you don't.

Postive Thinking™ is a disease.

Caused by atrophy of the critical thinking faculty. And it spreads like a virus, too.

So is negative thinking, of course.  The only difference being that negative thinking - while still lazy - at least gets you thinking about contingencies.

Yup. It's a bit like politics - believing the choice is either/or is buying into the con. "The glass is half empty/half full" bullshit totally ignores the fact that "I CAN HAZ BEER!"

Now that I think about it, it strikes me as kinda analogous to the - Past/Present/Now - thing that those orange robed fuckers are always harping on about

There's research now that indicates that "positive thinking" does more harm than good.
