Personally, I wish it had stayed this way, with the joysticks optional and games needing to be able to work without them.

intelligence still seems like the wrong word here.

Not entirely a reliable indicator either, neurodivergent people sometimes do this... though in the case of neurodivergence, the verbosity is an attempt at absolute precision in language, exhaustively trying to eliminate any other possible interpretation other than the writer's exact thought.

Exactly. AI emulates professional and academic standards because that's most of what it was trained on. The output can also look like writing by neurodivergent humans, because again, that's a lot of what it was trained on - who else would write in encyclopedic detail about obscure topics?

The word accident is a tool for conditioning us to treat crashes as inevitable tragedies rather than questioning why they happened and trying to prevent them.

And not waving on cyclists at intersections. Just follow right of way rules, please!

Additionally, this is why they make you put your seat back up before take off and landing (so the person behind you doesn’t smack into it as hard if there is a…sudden deceleration.)

On a trail where I'm actually worried about being hit in the eyes or faceplanting, sure.

For commuting though, absolutely not, commuting is not dangerous enough to warrant that kind of a helmet.
