Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I’m wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.
I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don’t want to risk it.
I don’t think anyone picks up on subtle hints unless they’re constantly looking for them. And most people aren’t looking for them.
And constantly looking for them will drive you crazy.
Everything will looks like a hint if one actively looking for it.
