Cast
gollark: As opposed to passively awful for me like mostly not doing exercise.
gollark: I determined that given my horrible tendency to devalue medium/long-term stuff automatically anyway I should really not do things which are *actively* awful for me without a very good reason.
gollark: Self-driving cars will definitely be very neat when someone gets them to work mostly independently. Unless stupid lawmakers/etc. require a human constantly there to monitor it.
