There's a route you take when you walk to the front door, there's a hand you open it with, there's a way you shift your weight as you open it. Yes, usually going to the pastry shop on the weekend can be a habit too, but there really are tons your never think about.

When someone calls your name, do you look or not? Fast or slow? When someone tells you their name do you repeat it to yourself in your head? Any of these things you do consistently without thinking are habits, and anything you do consistently through mental effort can be too, even if they aren't automatic.

Your car is more convenient because they designed it that way. Visit Europe and everyone's like "get a eurail pass, it's so convenient!" But here we don't have the infrastructure so alternative transport sucks, because we decided to make the car, king, instead of building railway lines.

Getting it set up and calibrated takes ages

I've always thought we should use "plus" as in the + at the end of lgbt. It's short, easy, all inclusive and has a built in positive association.

My weak arguments aren't meant to convince you, they are meant to lead you along a train of thought. Here's the last piece...

Just because cancer cells are human doesn't mean they get species protection, that would be stupid.

Once we have acknowledged that our protective feelings for the bundle of cells that can't even think yet are species based, that we routinely kill creatures with brains more well developed than a newborn, and that we do routinely kill clumps of human tissue that put the host at risk, it's clear that the mother's well being should always take precedence over the well being of the fetus.

That's a great point, we we should probably stop killing all thinking beings immediately and become vegetarian then.
