Twitter's dying, my DMs are open, if you are trans and want a trans penpal approaching her 40s, DM me and let's hope the direct messages get emailed out automatically as the twitter-world crumbles around us.
"If I die then I need you to destroy my porn collection" is weak. Absolute cowardice.
If I die then I want you to gather everyone that knows me and jack off to my porn collection while saying stuff like "there's some good stuff in here" and "that ones kinda fucked up though."
Alex Jones cultists seem to think he is Superman doing the Spider-Man 2 thing and stopping our massive Onion-branded freight train from hurling toward a child. Who is pathetically disguised as (or protesting against) free speech.
Do you think I care about one child getting hit by a train? Especially one with such unclear political ideologies taking such a bold stance in front of The Onion’s train? On what’s clearly The Onion’s track?
Does this kid need help? Is that what this is now? Some kind of therapy session for the politically unaware child? Where are his fucking parents? Because I must make it clear that I will never give a shit about a child getting hit by a train I’m on if it means we keep moving.
the reason this happens is really funny
raytheon figured out in like the 80s if they didn't make being gay as shameful in their corporate culture "give us state secrets or we'll tell everyone you're gay", a normally very effective blackmail technique, would not work as well
@biggestjoel@G0ffThew@EthicalHype Team Blue, Hardened:
Because too many innocents will wander into choosing blue, we are obligated to come together in a peaceful and bloodless solution where everyone lives.
Or else.
@biggestjoel@G0ffThew@EthicalHype So, I'm team blue, I want blue to win. But there's a slight chance my friends have doomed me to push red (everybody lives OR I'm on a rip roarin' rampage of revenge) or I was able to push blue (everybody lives OR I die but they're avenging me).
@G0ffThew@waitbutwhy True, but I'd argue that the moral obligation to help and act is identical between the blender and the red/blue buttons. People's perception of the events change, but half of babies are gonna die if (blue doesn't win) = (blender isn't stopped).
@G0ffThew@waitbutwhy True, I was being reductive and glib, and the prompt is vague enough that you can handwave how the instructions are given and how little is shared, influencing what percentage of people are choosing the risky option.
But after one baby climbs in the blender, we all oughta get in
@G0ffThew@Vexarian@waitbutwhy What if it's "push blue button" vs do nothing? (Push blue vs do nothing)
For example, instead of there being a red button to push, it's a toggle switch that defaults to red, but must be actively switched to blue?
Are you volunteering to help the blues still?
@G0ffThew@waitbutwhy Both arguments for me to choose blue also hinge on "some idiots chose the risky option and *AS A RESULT* now we I need to band together to save them"
In both cases, the first person choosing blue forces an effort to generate 50% interest in all of humanity to save them.
@G0ffThew@waitbutwhy I disagree, whether your choice is action or inaction, there's a binary choice of get in the blender or don't get in the blender. I'll argue (and you've proven by example) that the framing *will influence how people choose*
You have identical moral obligation to stop the blender
In 5000 years, this will be discovered by future digital archaeologists as an example of a 21st century joke, but they will lament that the meaning and why it was considered funny has been lost to time
I will reverse all my anti-AI/AI-skeptical politics if Mythos can invent a peptide that makes you grow 4-6 cup sizes. Just throwing that out there now, feels necessary to disclose.
