So in the cases where I burn corpses, and wear a condom while fucking my sister, wouldn’t it be better if my reasons were to stop disease and genetic defect?

If someone asked why I was wearing a condom I could say “so she doesn’t get pregnant, also, you want in on this Dad?”.

If you’re an atheist: we’re in hell, literally.

If you’re a Christian: we’re where hell will be, when Jesus comes back with cigarettes and half a bottle of bourbon.

Satisfying a sadistic urge will generally have a bad outcome (unless your target as a masochist), but as a reason, it is actually better than tradition.

If murdering people and rearranging their body parts was just “tradition”, it would be infinitely worse than someone doing it out of self satisfaction.

Traditions do often serve purpose, take for instance the birthday song. We say we do it for “tradition”, but the real reason is because it’s a familiar song everyone can participate in singing, to direct cheer at the birthday-twat. It’s generally fun.

my favourite misbelief is that people are already in heaven, and that hell is a ‘place’.

What the bible claims will happen: second coming of Jesus happens; believers are resurrected, believers are raptured, and then war breaks out. Jesus fucks off with the angels and everyone left on Earth is “in hell” (permanently separated from God).

Everything about hell being a demonic underworld is from Dante’s Divine Comedy.

Tradition is always the worst reason to do something.

If you had any other reason to do something, you would use that as an excuse.

Depends, are you backing up to another partition or drive?

If not, you’re pretty fucked.

It’s bizarre, there are a ton of mini-games, combat is sometimes fun, storyline is yakuza melo-drama, dripping in themes around loyalty, honor and sacrifice.

It has a little bit of something for everyone.

It wasn’t just China either.

Wait, people type neofetch, as opposed to setting it to run with each time the shell is loaded?

First anecdote:

I’m convinced driving stoned is still a problem (though I understand my experiences may be an outlier);

My friend used to drive stoned regularly, and while in the car with him he failed to notice traffic lights and stop signs. These are mistakes he didn’t make while sober.

Caveat: he was an inexperienced driver at the time, so he probably hadn’t developed intuitive driving habits, so being stoned meant he needed to manually assess every action.

Second anecdote:

I feel that driving drunk is so bad, not necessarily because of distraction or motor control (though once sufficiently drunk, these are absolutely an issue)

I feel the most dangerous part about driving drunk is the overconfidence which comes with it. People are much more likely to take risks while drunk. Conversely, people who are stoned are paranoid, so they’re locked in and focused on not looking like they’re driving inebriated.

I’m confused, is this a problem with your seat, or your height?

Now I’m curious what you’re driving.

xkill isn’t a function of Wayland.

Modern safety standards make it so that the seatbelt locks in a crash and limits your longitudinal inertia.

That’s what I was trying to say.

I’ve now realised that I’ve explained myself poor. To reiterate;

Seatbelts reduce whiplash, so does correct posture. Poor posture inherently leads to a loosed seatbelt because it extends the range between you and your seat.

A lot of people consider a crash which lurches you forward, but if you get rear ended, the difference which matters will be your posture. If your head and neck are cushioned, you’re going to be much better off.

Fair point about the broken spines. It’s not hard to imagine how much worse things could be without correctly fitted headrests and seatbelts.

Sure. What I’m inferring is the head moves more without a tight seatbelt, due to the additional inertia of your body, and its angle.

It might be easier to imagine it with an example. If you’ve ever taken a class in something like Judo, the first thing they’ll teach you is how to fall. It is incredibly important to maintain good posture as you fall, as hitting the mat with your head tilted too high is something that can turn you paraplegic in a second.

Same goes for a car. If your posture is fucked up, and your head hits the headrest wrong, it could lead to a broken neck.

As you train better posture, both your spine and the muscles around it find a new relaxed state. Essentially eliminating the risk of your head folding under the headrest.

Yep. Most modern distros should be providing the 555 driver by now.

Great idea, now I just need to know how to do that.

I really want the convenience of binding xkill to a key, which I can use to double tap programs like the undead zombie they’ve become.

If you have an accident, whiplash is partially countered by a seatbelt, but if you do have an accident, the severity of your neck damage will be dependant on your resting posture.

With a correct posture, there is less deviation in how your spine bends.

In any case, headrests are adjustable, make sure it’s set correctly. Unless your posture is perfect, changing your ergonomics will be uncomfortable.

I don’t know if you heard, but the Nvidia issues are solved (mostly).

The issue most people had was with Explicit Sync, which was patched in the proprietary Nvidia driver 555 which is upstream on most distros.
