do people still feel motherly towards him now
Law&Crime Network@LawCrimeNetwork
Influencer Braden Peters, aka Clavicular, faces a lawsuit accusing him of having sex with a minor and injecting her with an unapproved fat-dissolving drug during a livestream. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber @jessecordweber reports.

@MarkMotley43667 @ML_ennial If you assume everyone is equally as rational as yourself, then there’s no dilemma because the vote will be unanimous. If you think that some rational people will press blue, wouldn’t that be a reason to also vote blue? To stop them from dying?
English
@ML_ennial To be fair, when I read about this problem I thought the whole point was the reasoning process of the participants. How am I to understand how a 1 day old baby, or someone in a coma, makes their choice?
English
a really weird aspect to this discourse is some people saying “oh when it said EVERYONE on earth you meant EVERYONE?!”
Jaden Williams@JadenJTW
@1MikeMcMichael If children, animals, and ANY AND ALL life without full reasoning ability are counted, I'd press blue. A higher share of blue means more lives saved, and at that scale, the math makes blue the only choice.
English
@FabricioNakata @GarrettPetersen The baby/disabled argument is short-sighted. You only have to believe that there are people who would press blue.
The baby argument is only convincing to those who think blue pressers deserve to die.
English
@GarrettPetersen Also to base case. Blue pushers do it to protect other blue pushers who do it to protect... whom? That's why "do we hold babies up to the buttons" can be completely determinative.
English
The game theory of red and blue buttons involves predicting what other people will do. And what other people will do requires them to predict what other people will do. So you have a recursive prediction of other behaviour. That's why it's so sensitive to framing.
English
@KooHo_jin @xenocryptsite And “sinister” means “left” in Latin. The prevalence of right-handedness leads to various cultures having a negative association with left and a positive association with right.
English
@xenocryptsite I like how gauche also just means left in french so you see it in a lot of political language though I don't know if those two things are related
English
"Gauche" in particular, very handy word for high schoolers to know.
Caroline Renard@carolinerenard_
That video of the High schoolers not knowing basic words is not funny, it’s actually really sad. Silhouette and gauche should be words they’re use to at that age.
English
@JenkinatorYT @BeanDip___ It’s not because of the difference in opinion. It’s specifically because he claimed that the new scenario is equivalent to the first, which is obviously incorrect.
English
@BeanDip___ i think it's rather extreme to call someone dumb because you disagree with their opinion
English
SummoningSalt and TierZoo are the biggest cases of people who make incredible content but are dumb as shit when you look at any of their other social media

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?

@Snake_With_Feet @richard_normal Who is still getting sanctioned smoke breaks in 2026? That just isn’t a thing unless you work at a construction site or a Waffle House.
English
@richard_normal breaks are leftist, and the smoke break is an important category of break. people will often pick up smoking just for the break associated with it.
English
that’s actually a really interesting nuanced point just kidding no it’s not go back to 2018 with this shit
laulukaskas@clockstiqqun
anti-cigarette sentiment is born out of two lies: that it is possible to live forever, and that it is desirable to do so. it is born also of one truth: that the worker must be kept productive against his will for the good of statesman and stockbroker
English
@Zanzuhbar @Big_lundi Why are they a bad person for potentially dying?
English
@Big_lundi Blue: You may die.
Red: You have no chance of dying.
If you are too stupid to understand this, you deserve your fate.
Only a blue voter who chooses chance of death over certain life is the bad person. This is a very elementary level concept.
English
See we blue button pushers knew that was a part of the test because we know what "everyone" means. Man you red pushers really like talking about how objectively brilliant and smart you are for your choice while being the dumbest people in the world.
𝔏𝔲𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔢𝔯𝔳𝔞@LumLotus
Empathy was never a part of it until someone asked if children, disabled, and people unable to understand the question was involved. A good portion didn't even see that because it wasn't part of the original test.
English
@ddddddaqbl @StatisticUrban If my vote doesn’t matter then why would I not vote for my preferred outcome (blue) anyway? You’re not making any sense.
English
@GoblinWizard420 @StatisticUrban I'm saying that your vote won't matter regardless of the outcome, and that this is exemplified by the fact that an option has won by what would be 500 million votes, every time
You can hardly judge what the actual results would be based on a twitter poll conducted without stakes
English
@Boozy09833242 @Quietnthechaos @sharghzadeh No it’s not. If you left a blank in place of the word silhouette and had to guess what word was used, silhouette would never be considered as an option because it makes no sense literally or figuratively.
English
@GoblinWizard420 @Quietnthechaos @sharghzadeh It is if you have the vocabulary & ability to contextualise the word in the sentence
English
A large percentage of young people are functionally illiterate because schools abandoned phonics in favor of sight reading
English
@ddddddaqbl @StatisticUrban But I’m not dying anyway, because blue has the majority. That’s the scenario in which you said my vote doesn’t matter, right?
English
@GoblinWizard420 @StatisticUrban Oof. Tough one. Perhaps so that you won't die?
English
@Quietnthechaos @sharghzadeh Like yes, “the silhouette” refers to the shape of the clothing. But you wear the clothes, not their shape.
English
@Quietnthechaos @sharghzadeh You could maybe say “wore a silhouette” in a figurative sense, with silhouette implied to be synonymous with “dress” or something, but adding “of clothes” implies that silhouette is synonymous with “assortment” which doesn’t make sense.
English
@Quietnthechaos @sharghzadeh Silhouette is not synonymous with wardrobe, though.
English
@sharghzadeh People saying the sentence doesn’t make sense it does though. “She wore a wardrobe that was extraordinary but somewhat gauche.” So like Effie Trinket, amazing but cringe, a little too much to the point it’s theatrical and not classy.
English
@SpeakFranklyUSA @underscore_qua @MrsZola786 @sharghzadeh The meaning comes across if we ignore “a silhouette of” entirely. At that point you could replace silhouette with a nonsense word and the point still comes across.
English
@underscore_qua @MrsZola786 @sharghzadeh It doesn't need to be an idiom, if you understand what a silhouette is and understand what clothes are then you can understand what a silhouette of clothes is.

@adrusi @KyleJamesOlson they are asking you to put your life at risk for their own , is that selfish or not ?
English
how i became a blue-pusher
i have a confession: years ago, in the first button poll, i pressed red
"well theres a correct answer here, right?"
then i saw the results and that we all won bc blue won
and i didnt get mad, just realized i was wrong and switched allegiances
English
@ddddddaqbl @StatisticUrban “Not mattering” doesn’t apply in a scenario where everyone is obligated to vote. If I prefer the blue-majority outcome, then why would I vote against that outcome?
English
@StatisticUrban It passes the 50% mark by 7%, huh? Wow. That's more than 500 million people in a population of 8 billion. Almost sounds like.. your vote.. wouldn't matter?!
English
@ZakMndebele @MyDinnerWAndrei @justMizuyuki A blue vote is what makes a blue-majority possible. It’s nonsensical to say that any individual vote is irrelevant because they are all equivalent.
English
I am aware of blue pressers’ stated motives, the point I am making and which you are clearly incapable of grasping is that your vote does absolutely nothing to save anyone else, because it is either being negated by every other red vote or is made irrelevant by the aggregate majority of blues. All you accomplish with a blue vote is suicide if red wins.
English
the fact that psychopaths see that half the population chooses blue and thus if a few more voted red half the population would die and they still say "you get nothing beneficial of a blue vote" is genuinely unhinged
Jack@depression2019
It is actually disturbing how dumb the average person is Red gives you a 100% chance of living, you literally get nothing beneficial out of choosing blue
English
@ZakMndebele @MyDinnerWAndrei @justMizuyuki Either that or you’re just pretending to be mentally deficient. There’s no way a fully functional human being would ever truly think that “only suicidal people would press blue”, especially in the face of people telling you they have other motivations for pressing blue.
English
@ZakMndebele @MyDinnerWAndrei @justMizuyuki I’m convinced that people with your view lack a theory of mind. It’s not just that you don’t care about the lives of the blue-pressers, you are cognitively incapable of conceptualizing a person different than yourself, someone who does care about the lives of the blue-pressers.
