Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

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.

For the sake of brevity, I’m just going to agree that I’m sea-lioning.

Now, explain how what I’m doing is unethical.

Do you think it’s unethical because it uses stolen art?

If so, I don’t think there’s an issue because I’m not publishing anything I generate.

Do you think it’s unethical because of the electricity usage?

If so, you could make the argument about any frivilous activity which generates electricity.

I really don’t know of a compelling reason besides these two which raises a red flag for you.

I’m not trolling. Why is it unethical for me and my buddies to generate images of a duck with the head of an elephant?

I want to know more.

How long has it been since your coma?

When you say you were lucid, do you mean you were always aware you were dreaming?

You say there was no escape, but you must have become fully unconscious at times?

Did you ever have pleasant dreams?

How much of your life experience do you think shaped your nightmares?

Did you have any epiphanies due to the clashing ideas?

“but one day I might be a millionaire.”

I meant to reply to you, to illustrate it’s not always unethical; a point you raised, not OP.

What if you’re a pervert? That’s a pretty decent excuse.

I use it when I get stoned with my mates and think of funny shit to generate.

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.
