Still alive now, ain'tcha? That sounds like a decision NOT to die. So if we can decide not to die... doesn't that mean we're not deciding to die?

That's not entirely true.

You see, part of the complex code built into this forum software by my golfing buddies from NASA includes a custom "HAL-matrix". All members here are scaled by their contributions to the intellectual discussions--the content of their posts and comments builds their HAL score within the system. Once you have made enough witty, helpful, funny (Cat thread posts actually subtract from the total, I think), or insightful posts, your HAL score reaches a certain threshold. From that point on the program's IdM system hooks up with your school records, job status, phone accounts, doctor's records, and FBI files if you happen to live in the UK (not sure why about that last bit). (No, we don't bother with your bank accounts, none of you have any real money anyway ). The SUBSIM system actually knows how you are, if you're alive or not, if you are naughty or nice (on license from You-know-who).

If a beer truck hits you, or you keel over dead from too much fatty foods, we know it. Flowers are sent to your next of kin.

Ah, I should have known. The Queen of all things Subsim. Of course she would know.

With your super-duper "HAL-matrix", couldn't you just warn me about the truck instead?

Can't get a licensing agreement with God to reveal the future, sorry.

Finally, a use for those imaginary numbers I learned about in math classes.

I'm pretty sure this means Jimbuna is Subsim's Neo.
