I disagree with the doomsaying and making things out to be much worse than they actually are. I don’t think it’s a good thing to do.

- polygamous_bat 3y agoOnce again, it’s a literary device; you’re doing the same thing when you call it “doomsaying”. The goal of it is to evoke a certain emotion out of the reader, which is fine in a discussion. Otherwise any conversation would be dry as a doctor’s report for gastric issues.
- Tycho 3y agoThis just isn’t true. Hyperbole isn’t always appropriate just because it has a name and is a “literary device.”
- asadotzler 3y agoNo response to getting called out for doing it yourself with "doomsaying"? Gonna just pretend you hypocrisy wasn't on full display?
- Tycho 3y agoThe post described being trapped “like dogs” in a hellish state: They will drive us to the absolute edge of torches and pitchforks and keep us there, forever. Hardly an exaggeration to call this doomsaying. You seem very petulant.
