Fellow shorts and music guy (but long sleeves in summer to avoid sunburn so I actually have more clothing coverage on in summer than winter)... But country can be great and agreeable background noise in a way that not much else can... Sure punk rock and edm and more "fun" stuff (and yes, to an extent, screamo) are great if you're driving or gyming or cycling or whatever but that's not all the time

Ok, but equally any competition would need to be profitable earlier, you can't complain you got a service operating at a loss which is now operating at a profit when that's exactly what any alternative you'd feasibly switch to would do

Eating sweet things triggers a subconscious urge in the brain to eat more regardless of whether what you're eating next is sweet in the hope that you get to eat more sugar for energy. This is seen with both sugar and sweeteners, so eating or drinking sweetened things make your appetite significantly bigger and so you eat more energy than you use and gain weight... Sounds like a mechanism for harm to occur to me, but whatever

I mean the cancer ones are, loads of things are a carcinogen in high enough quantities, but that doesn't mean they're healthy, eg. there's a fair few studies that show that overconsumption of sugar and the equivalent with sweeteners lead to similar levels of obesity

How about rather than being addicted to oversweetened trash and (likely unsuccessfully) trying to cheat the side effects people just eat a healthy diet?

Icy roads are generally ok if you have a front or 4 wheel drive and you know they're icy so are on high alert and ready to deal with other motorists doing reckless shit which is 99% of the issues you'll face (like driving their rear wheel drive car round a corner up a hill, then spinning out as they accelerated too hard and ending up sliding back down the road towards you, which happened to me but as I was driving reasonably I just pulled over to the side)

What you've gotta watch out for is wet leaves though... Sounds innocent enough but in the wrong conditions they're as slippy as if not more than ice and because usually they're fine your brain just dismisses them until the day you slide/spin on them

This morning the sun rose at 6:48. This afternoon it will set at 16:38.

Few people who work 9-5 are going to benefit from it being light at around 6:30 any day of the week (7:30 is still enough for a morning run), yet on the weekends the extra hour to make it light until 19:00 will be so much more valuable for meeting with friends or going out with family etc.

there's roughly 99.9998 of driving with zero accidents

I assume you mean accidents with a fatal injury, given there is a ~1% chance that any given death will be from a car accident (17.4 deaths per 100k per year * 70 years = 1.2%) - using your statistic yields closer to 2.5% however this works with only one driver dying.

Turns out humans are pretty damn safe

Turns out you've been tricked by statistics, driving is fucking lethal and chances are most people know or are friends with someone who has died or will die in a car accident (assuming ~80 friends/acquaintances per person)

It's not like you're looking retrospectively... You sound like a late teen who thinks they've got the world all figured out and so have shut everything out, including the things that would make you realise that you actually haven't

Say "I can't pay for it now" or "I don't want to pay for it yet" or something then... "I don't feel like paying for it" has a connotation of "I could pay, but I want it for free" rather than even "I don't want to pay for it" which can be taken from more viewpoints such as "it's too expensive right now to justify paying, I'll wait for it to come on sale" or "I'm not ready to pay for it until I've tried it"

I take it you follow every company's bonus and employee stock programs then, to ensure you're only pirating from companies which only pay a basic wage and standard bonus?

I'm not gonna stop them, I disapprove and have given my reasons why but at the end of the day it's up to them

Well it's helpful that the income that the government gets from the royal family's estate is increasing by around 400% then I guess, even if it may only help cover a tiny fraction of the real terms cuts?
