@2819Jack @peakangle__ @shondarhymez @24JamesASecond That's wild - I can believe it's an American thing, I've only been there for a year or so total, but it's still a surprise.

@2819Jack @peakangle__ @shondarhymez @24JamesASecond I've heard people claim this and it's completely wildly contrary to my experience, to the point where it actually confuses my understanding of the world

@Kunstmuell Great excitement at this tweet from my partner who is alas also BuckTick-brained

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@DashiellMunson @atlanticesque What kind of thing have you asked for?

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@aimeebalthazar @WB_Baskerville Honestly think the later novels have retroactively made it a much worse book.

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@aimeebalthazar @WB_Baskerville And similarly with the age gaps - I liked a lot of the stuff about one's inability to see kindness when one is using another person as a knife with which to hurt oneself

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@Gamut_Music @hecubian_devil That's exactly how it feels?

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@Gamut_Music @hecubian_devil Yes?????

@bmlong137 @FondOfBeetles I'm a blue who'd switch at 50.000001%, which to me would be a clear indication that the schelling point was red, not blue.

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@vayne_ryu @XC_Enel I've really come to see "let's change the phrasing" as the core split here - red voters seem mostly distinguished by claiming isomorphisms to different wordings, which feels like it reflects a difference on an axis people don't talk about much?

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@theramblingfool @budd545304 I think some harder questions are:
"The same question, but blue needs 50.01%"
"The same question, but the red option is first"
"The same question, but the phrase 'dying is bad' is included somewhere"

All of these are different questions!

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@wyattpedia @Romy_Holland Thank you for answering! This is going to sound really stupid but I asked another red-answering friend and realised that "I live and don't die" was just a really big deal to him, and that honestly helped me a lot.

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@Falkenby @Romy_Holland Indeed, I think I might vote red if it were 50.1%. That is also a different question.

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@Falkenby @Romy_Holland I would vote red. That is a different question.

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@Romy_Holland Even after reading this thread it feels like they're mostly answering a different question.

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@Romy_Holland Embarrassing confession that I'm a blue person who has only an extremely blurry model of what red people are thinking.

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@AfukenSteve @BlackDumpling @Aella_Girl I guess it matters in some small sense in a red landslide but that doesn't particularly seem a world worth living in, which is why I think the phrasing of the question matters.

[Greg Pallis @gpallis]

@AfukenSteve @BlackDumpling @Aella_Girl I think in the original poll the downside of red is the possibility that you might be the marginal vote and damn 49.999% of people to death, which blue doesn't have, and if I'm not the marginal vote then my vote doesn't matter.
