@ProphetOfKek117 Requesting a community note on this bs

About 15 years ago stuff like this would’ve just been a small part in a larger game full of other stuff you could do

@MayuraTavus On 4/20 too 🤣 snake just had the munchies and found a Chick-fil-A

did yall not pay attention when food chains were being taught in school why are so many people mad empathising with the birds is fine but calling for the death of a snake for simply feeding is just childish, we are too disconnected from the natural world

@egoraptor @summoningsalt It would be interesting if the original problem had a third option of "don't push either button", but that group was still impacted by the final plurality. Plurality blue: everyone lives Plurality red: only red lives Plurality abstain: ? (Maybe everyone dies?)

I understand you are reframing this to say “this is effectively the same as the button scenario, so red is the correct answer to the original scenario” but you will find the reframing has changed the votes dramatically. It is obviously not the same. The whole point of the button scenario is that pushing a button is 1. an action that every participant must do, and 2. a trivially easy action. Additionally, the status quo (what is effectively a normal day) is not altered until the results are in. The act of pushing red can then be easily internalized as actively killing someone, similar to the trolley problem. In that problem, many people would choose not to act and allow three people to be killed than bear the responsibility of killing a single person actively. When you are pushing red, you are an active participant in potential human death, much like pulling the lever to change the tracks in the trolley problem. In your train scenario, however, you’ve framed the red button as specifically NOT acting, and the blue button as an act that requires a tremendous amount of physical effort and mental load. The framing of a train coming eliminates any responsibility pushing the red button may have psychologically. It is also, on the face of it, very difficult to picture not seeing other people on the tracks. It’s important to the button problem that you are completely isolated from anyone else, and that is very easy to picture. In the train problem it is difficult to picture being completely alone, and very easy to imagine seeing only a few people tied to the tracks, looking at other people who are “deciding” and trading glances with them like “I’m not going, are you?” It then very easily becomes an obvious choice and you can retroactively convince yourself, oh, these idiots CHOSE to die. Sure, if you’re a robot, it is logically the same outcome. But we are not robots, we are humans, and we have feelings and empathy and are messy and that is what makes us worth saving. I very often see the argument that “if everyone was logical, they would just choose red. There is no problem until people choose blue.” But that is the thing, we are not logical. We are empathetic. We can imagine someone pressing blue and we can feel bad about that and feel that we don’t want them to die because of it. There IS a problem before anyone presses anything. EVERYONE is being forced to press a button. THAT is a problem. It is my personal belief that anyone using the “logical” argument for pressing red is simply scared of dying, and is using logic as an out to absolve themselves of the responsibility of being an active participant in the deaths of other humans. I am more certain of this after seeing your reframing of the problem, because as an obvious red pusher, you have positioned yourself completely outside the system. This is a problem that is happening over there, out of your control. Of course you won’t participate, it has nothing to do with you. There’s a big scary train, and you’re somewhere else, already safe. You are not a red pusher in your scenario, you are just some guy observing a bunch of people maybe killing themselves. That is the difference. And I want to be clear, that is fine. That is very human. That is the whole point of this problem. It is very human to not want to die. It is very human to want to save others. And it is also very human to justify a choice to save yourself when other people’s lives are on the line. There is no right answer. But if I can say something… I find it a little disturbing that after two extremely viral instances of this problem being posed and both of them resulting in blue winning… people are still arguing for red. Everyone is still alive. Twice. We did it. It’s over. No one needs to be convinced of anything anymore.

A train is coming down a track. Everyone on Earth has the choice to either tie themselves to the track, or not. If more than 50% of people choose to tie themselves to the track, the train turns around and doesn't run them over. Yes or no - do you tie yourself to the track?

This was great🤣🤣🤣 @tarastrong

@ReelAnarchy @NoContextSpoof

@NoContextSpoof This is a Parodi film of a parody so in short, No Eat it did not come out first.

Disappointed but not surprised to hear that the Michael biopic did not cover this controversial moment in his career

@JasonKelce All the complaints about his route running, when running routes that get him open (especially off script) was probably his biggest strength as a receiver. That and his ability to read the defense.

Keep in mind, this is an example of a lot of the scouting reports written about players that will be drafted tonight and over the next couple days. To all of you guys about to be picked or go undrafted, know that they are written by people who are incapable of fully understanding your potential, and that few things will bring you a greater smile than reading these reports at the end of a career that far exceeds the limitations within them. Good luck Boys, welcome to the League

@Mishbia15 He threw the ball at another player. Just because the broadcast was confused doesn't mean it's impossible to understand. And you can still disagree with the call, but don't act like they were making shit up.

I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.

@SheaSerrano Depends on how you're ordering. I think Succession was the most engaging. I think Mad Men had the best character development. I think Sopranos has the best story.

put them in order succession mad men the sopranos

@Joann2264183828 @Acyn Wake up: x.com/i/status/20470…

@Acyn She is a clown. Democrats have Gerrymandered as well. There are plenty of states where 40 or 45% of the people vote Republican but only have one or no representation.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set. And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people. So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.

@scottknaster @smittysharkz @NHL I was thinking the same 😂

@smittysharkz @NHL Make it Joe Thornton on the right and it's perfect.

Macklin Celebrini's final tally in his 19-year-old season: 82 games 45 goals 70 assists 115 points Ridiculous 🤯

@SportsVanessa @WorldWideWob If the national networks were smart they'd bring the home announcers in to call some games on their network. They're too greedy, and dumb, for that, but it would be great.

Mike calls the NBA Finals, and yet still made sure to stand up for regional networks and local broadcasters. Great stuff here.

@JL_Chapman Kittle's 4th down carrying 3 Saint's players on his back to setup a game winning field goal. Vernon Post to beat the Saint's in a crazy back and forth. Not a single play, but Purdy's 2nd half vs the Lions Dre's stop at the goalline definitely is among those though

Dre Greenlaw's game-saving one-inch stop: the 49ers' most iconic moment since '94. Plus, the value of landing a 28-year-old talent. Clutch plays and smart acquisitions define winning. #49ers #NFL #Football

@Shadoo_creeture The bubbles

Really fucking annoys me that some asshole ai-generated a really funny image of a sunfish and now every time I try to find it I have to remember which one is real or not

@thedailymemes_ Actually, in 97 we all had a butler named Jeeves who answered our questions

@Coach_Hickey5 @Puffhawk1 You keep making this point, but take it a step further. Why are you not demanding the schools teach those kids how to manage their money? If students at a SCHOOL don't understand something isn't that the fault of the institution for not educating them?

@Puffhawk1 It’s unreal how many people think these kids are putting that money in the bank…

Ding. Ding. Ding. It’s not the top kids that this system will fail. It’s the kids who make $500k and then $600k. They graduate, their careers sputter out and then go to get an office job and make $75k. What are they going to do then. The ncaa won’t care…

@BrandonMChu Take your shirt off and throw it against the wall

Legit how would you get out of this? Breath?

@bballbernat The difference between prime Klay and Kon is that I have never seen another player get hot like prime Klay. 37 in a quarter was insane. And that's just on the offensive side. Percentages don't tell the whole story when it comes to Klay.

Everyone but dubs fans in this app cried for about 5 years straight about GSW being too stacked. Fast forward a few years and: -Unanimous MVP wasn’t actually the best -Klay comparable to a very good rookie -Dray an expensive backpack Still hurting I guess lol

@goblue_mike Here's a shot he missed two days ago (also missed one of the free throws): m.youtube.com/watch?v=p1w73I…

Hard to have a miss when every time he does miss its a “foul”
