I'm just here to give good advice on safety, i.e. wear your seat belt, use condoms with hookers, etc.
Plenty of people do not follow these rules and are still perfectly fine. Today you are fine. Tomorrow your brain is in a tree. Today you are fine, tomorrow you have gonorrhea.
Your life is in your own hands. Nobody else's problem.
