Bad luck Brian.

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.

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

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".

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.
