If running a parser makes you cynical and depressed, why do it?

[Vaunhause]

Because it doesn't depress them at all.

They act like seeing someone doing bad numbers is upsetting, but in reality it's validation. I'm guessing they don't get the opportunity to "feel superior" to other people much in real life, so they need this.

Coming from the person who made a thread to ban parser's for pure validation from others, and then shrugging off most reasonable arguments, or people telling you that most people do not use parser's in a bad way, you just went for the confirmation bias of "parser bad", this is sorta rich.
