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?

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

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 1 points 3 days ago

I'm confused, is this a problem with your seat, or your height?

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 1 points 3 days ago

Now I'm curious what you're driving.

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.

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol -1 points 4 days ago

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.

I have a custom ROM (DivestOS); I don't have access to the Play Store.

The latest version of Honkai: Star Rail is out, but Aurora installs the bundled version of the APK which always throws an error "Not enough storage space to install required resources" (there is enough space).

In the past, I've used APK Mirror to download the standalone version of the APK. But the latest update on APK Mirror only offers the bundled version.

I've tried APK Pure and APK Combo to install an XAPK version, but that always fails too.

So, does anyone know where I might find the standalone version of the app, or how to resolve the bundled app error?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming AI can achieve consciousness, or something adjacent (capacity to suffer), then how would you feel if an AI experienced the greatest pain possible?

Imagine this scenario: a sadist acquires the ability to generate an AI with no limit to the consciousness parameters, or processing speed (so seconds could feel like an eternity to the AI). The sadist spends years tweaking every dial to maximise pain at a level which no human mind could handle, and the AI experiences this pain for what is the equivalent of millions of years.

The question: is this the worst atrocity ever committed in the history of the universe? Or, does it not matter because it all happened in some weirdo's basement?

What I would like: general improvement to quality, removal of glare on photo (I dont have the OG, just this digital shot). Colour correction. Free, but will tip up to 5AUD if I really like it. Thank you in advance!
