So what do we do about that guy on every Zoom call who has a smoke detector chirping in his house that he's just tuned out after eight months of it being on a dead battery

Spanish Manlove posted:I know a few rednecks who still don't wear seatbelts. Stupid is as stupid does. My own father refuses to wear a seat belt to this day because he insists that if he were to ever crash into a lake or river, the seat belt will constrain him and cause him to drown. I have wasted hours of my life explaining to him how unlikely of a situation this is and even if it's a real worry, how there are infinitely better ways of dealing with it beside "don't wear seat belt that will save your life in a wide variety of far more common situations". I think it was maybe a more divisive issue back when seat belts just started becoming mandatory. Some just hold on to their position no matter what.

A seat belt can be unbuckled pretty easily, even underwater, that's kind of a key feature Here I'm reminded of Mitch Hedberg's bit about being a fire hazard if he stands blocking the exit at the theater "As though if there was a fire, I would not run"

He maintains that the 1/2 second delay of pressing the button will end in his demise. I think it's one of those things where you start with an unjustifiable position (I don't want to wear a seatbelt because it's slightly uncomfortable) and then work backwards to try and justify it.

Stories like this and others just remind me that we're really just barely intelligent apes who's threat assessment process begins and ends at "will this lion eat me y/n".

As the lion opens the car door and leaps toward me, I ruminate on the folly of wearing my seatbelt at Discount Lion Safari Park.

Getting caught up on this thread (I'm way behind, obviously), but seeing this in September of 2020, all I can say is "oof".

Drunks was a far superior album to Spyro. The Window Washer video is still the best.

Does your dad live near any lakes and/or rivers? Is your dad an alligator living in a swamp in florida?
