@kdot89_ He said “I wasn’t locked in enough on the football”. I took it as him speaking about the drop. Which, he turned his head upfield too quick, so no argument on that point.
@EthicaNow Xbox has had a tough few generations, but credit where it’s due, they’ve mostly been pro-consumer in terms of game preservation, backward compatibility, and ownership. Mind blowing that Sony is willingly pissing away all the good will they’ve earned.
@Pete_Collins_ Hard to see what value there is in playing starters for just a series or 2. Is that really a meaningful warmup for regular season that’s still 2 weeks away? September football is just an extension of the preseason these days. That’s where the starter reps are.
@Savageboston@GetUpESPN “First place schedule” is such a hollow talking point. The previous seasons standings influence exactly 3 of the 17 games in the next season. 3. The rest are all just divisional rotations and in-division games. Last year’s was easy, sure, but it’s just the luck of the draw.
@Rimewalker@rickdank_o It was announced in 2024 and delayed out of its original November 2025 window. People have been waiting/following it that whole time. This isn’t “out of nowhere”. The game released, so people are now playing it. Pretty routine cycle.
@AUsername360@TerraDraca Pressing blue introduces a risk that doesn’t exist otherwise. It’s literally opting in for a chance at death. Someone pressing red and not opting in, doesn’t then make them responsible if blue dies. The whole dilemma is as much as semantic trick as it is a moral dilemma.
@groudon466@Gunhildr_pics Blue requires a coordinated, informed, trusting majority to work. But the more you expand “everybody” toward a universal (and uncoordinated) population (eg children), the less likely you reach 50%. Blue becomes progressively more dangerous the more literal you take “everybody”.
@Biast12 Blue creates a problem that doesn’t exist otherwise, and that only impacts blue. And thats red’s fault? Pretend there is no red for a second. Just a blue button that kills you unless 50% also press it. You can choose to not play. Do you press it? If not, you’ve pressed red.
You’re presented with just a blue button, that if you press it - AND YOU DONT HAVE TO - you die unless 50% of people also press it. Otherwise nothing happens. Do you press it? If you said no, congratulations, you’ve just pressed the red button.
@MrBeast The framing makes it feel like blue is the moral choice, but pretend the red button doesn’t exist. If everyone was presented with one button, where you press it for a chance to die, unless 50% also pressed it, you just shouldn’t play that game. Red = not playing the game.
@PortHunter18@EmmJayed@MercuriusFilius Try it this way. Let’s say Envelope A is correct.
Scenario 1: you pick A. Keep it wins, switch loses.
Scenario 2: You pick B. Keep it loses, switch wins.
Scenario 3: you pick C. Keep it loses, switch wins.
In 2/3 of the scenarios, you win by switching. Does that help?
@EmmJayed@PortHunter18@MercuriusFilius Youre not upgrading to 50%. Switching gives you a 66% chance. You had a 1/3 shot with your initial pick. You then get a choice of keeping that 1/3, or switching to BOTH other envelopes (2/3 or 66%). One of those 2 is always going to empty. Revealing that doesn’t change the odds.
@chrisdeweese_@bluewmist Lifetime warranty rarely means that. Typically only means the established lifetime of the product, and with a lot of exceptions (parts, not labor etc.). It’s usually no more a marketing ploy.
