Those basic safe driving techniques are based on ideal conditions. Take the three second lead for example, that's on dry roads with good visibility. You wouldn't follow that close if it was icy, because now your reaction time is not going to be enough, you have less control over the road so you must increase your follow distance.

Driving drunk is the same, your reaction time is now slower so again three seconds isn't enough. You don't have the same control over your body and alertness, so you need to drive even slower and more cautiously.

Now you're the odd one out. Your overly cautious driving will confuse the people driving around you because it'll be less predictable and odd. They'll try to pass you causing the chance of accidents to increase.

This is long winded, but the point is you simply aren't at your prime when you're driving impared. Be it high, drunk, sleep deprived, etc, you shouldn't on the road in that state as you increase the risk for everyone else. I urge you to reconsoder before you hurt yourself or someone else.

I agree with some of your points, but I you should try rewriting your age gap paragraph. It's very hard to understand and in your 15/18 year old example I think you end up saying the opposite of what you intend.

Also pedophilia has a specific definition and is not interchangeable with underage. It's specifically for prepubescent attractions.

Do you differentiate between people who purchased their pets vs rescue, or do you see all pet owners as the same?

I think owning pets in our modern urban lives doesn't make sense like it used to, but I have always had pets and do enjoy them. Every single one has been a rescue though. I could not personally justify supporting breeders and pets as an industry.

Yup, Valve is still in it for the money of course, but the customer really does come first. I've used their support a few times and they've always been stellar. I will always buy Valve products.

There are a few, the sofabaton is probably the closest to the cheaper harmony remotes, but it's configured via an app that requires login so not sure how long that will last.

There are other companies that are targeting the high end remotes too ($300+) but they all appear to be based on android and get very poor battery life.

I love Thunder. Have it set up with the small UI, feels like I never left Relay.

How can you be in the society and not be a royal?

I think P2P is still the way to go. Sure it's not perfect, but it's simpler and by it's very nature doesn't require the infrastructure we know will be a problem.

Plus, don't forget screen sharing in discord isn't very good as is (720p30) if you're not a paid user.

Kind of. It doesn't run Android with the Play Store so it's a pretty different experience.
