  • No. It's a perfectly natural reaction.

    Having said that, I think you should get back behind the wheel ASAP.

    • I have two friends, both of whom were in accidents. One of them pressured himself into driving again shortly after to get past the PTSD. The other didn't. Guess which one never drove again.
    • When I had just gotten my driver's license I did not feel properly safe or in control either. It's a habitual thing: The more you drive, the better you get at it, and with time the nervousness and uncertainty fades.

    You don't NEED to drive again. But I think you should face your fear and try to move past the current trauma. Simply because being able to drive is useful. After than that, if you don't really need to drive anywhere, just don't.

  • Yeah, trends in politics and culture really shafted the brand.

    • Nothing wrong about red hats if it wasn't for Maga.
    • Nothing wrong with fedoras if it wasn't for 4chan incels 15 years ago.

    Now I'm curious if it'd be possible to rebrand to GreenBeanie. It has a nice ring to it.

  • Partially because both of those agree on one thing and one thing only: There's only one Korea. Recognizing one implies that they don't recognize the other.

    Having said that, some countries have managed, through some maneuvering and red tape, to have formal relations with both.

  • Depends on the setting.

    • A restaurant? Maybe a beer or a glass of wine with the food. Individual preference of beverage decides - Doesn't have to be alcohol.
    • A bar? Yup.
    • Going for a walk? Now I want to see someone doing shots while strolling in an increasingly wavering line. Handholding encouraged for safety reasons.
  • The only reason why I'm polite to ChatGPT is because it's an habit when writing something for someone else. It's a habit I prefer to stay, and since LLMs don't care, there's no reason to change it up.

    Maybe I'll be spared in the sobot apocalypse, though.

  • Influx of Linux users.

    OH yes, do I have a wall-of-text for you. Lazypasting a relevant comment I made regarding the UI direction windows has taken for the past decade and a half:

    Example, if I want to change the thingamajig-ratio of the skoodleblurp, utilizing the brumblebork method:

    • Linux: skoodle -s thinga 50 (brumblebork is assumed by default unless something else is explicitly defined via --method=)
    • msdos 6.0: skoodleb /thing 50 /brumblebork
    • win 3.x and win95: can't do that natively, but the msdos method still works for some reason.
    • WinME: Nobody knows how it's done, or even if it's possible. Anyone who wants to adjust this is smart enough to avoid WinME
    • win2k: after right clicking my computer and selecting properties, it's a setting hidden somewhere in the hardware tab, provided you're running the latest SP.
    • win98: same as win2k, except a reboot is required afterwards
    • XP: same as win2k, except a defrag is required afterwards. Also, Teletubbies color schema.
    • win vista: back to rebooting. The change may not have been applied. It will not tell you either way.
    • win 7: finally they made it functional and easily accessible via the control panel
    • win 8: uh oh, the control panel of ye olden days is no more. We have a new thing going, so there are two way of doing it. The newer method isn't quite as flexible as the old control panel, though; you need to regedit for proper brumblebork.
    • win 8.1: They fixed the new panel, but you can't fit it on a single screen due to excessive dead space padding. And sometimes you get told to contact the sysadmin. For your computer. That you own.
    • Win 10: It fits on one screen now, you just have a million sub-menus to navigate through; control panel -> network -> advanced -> skoodleblurp -> advanced -> thingamajig -> advanced (yep, again) -> ratio slider -> apply -> OK -> submit -> execute -> "are you sure?" -> (three minutes of that nondes ript spinning circle that replaced the hour glass) -> Fuck you, you forgot to check the brumblebork box half an hour ago. At this point it's easier to get WSL up and running and then run skoodle -s thinga 50 --method=brumblebork (method not implied. WSL isn't that good)
    • Win 11: you have to log in to support.microsoft.com with your Microsoft account, using edge, and hope it has detected that you are running an OS that supports this. Then you can download a service patch that may or may not be relevant. Either way it changes your default search to fucking Bing.
