Hence why we talk of possibility.

Talking like that is not just determinism, it's fatalism.

Determinism implies fate. Smile

Really, what is different? "fate |fāt|
noun
1 the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power "

"determinism |diˈtərməˌnizəm|
noun Philosophy
the doctrine that all events, including human action, are ultimately determined by causes external to the will. Some philosophers have taken determinism to imply that individual human beings have no free will and cannot be held morally responsible for their actions."

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
