    You should aim to have these regrets because it’s the people who lived long enough to be interviewed on their death bed that have them. The people who died suddenly probably have regrets like “I wish I hadn’t been texting while driving.”

      “I wish I hadn’t been pulled into the ore crushing machine by my sleeve while on the 15th hour of my shift because it’s the only way in this town to make enough money to pay for the medicine my son needs to fight the disease this town and refinery caused in him”

      But I guess maybe that counts as “I wish I didn’t work so much”

      If they only kill themselves, it’s a benefit to humanity

      I’m a motorcyclist and I HATE people using their phones while driving

        As an ex-motorcyclist and current cyclist, eyes on a swivel, everyone on the road is a fucking idiot or one distraction away from being a ton of death metal. Bike infra is so peaceful. Phones, Valium, Passenger, Sleep deprivation, whatever, just assume the worst. Situational awareness is your friend, anticipate the idiocy.
