@eigenrobot No way man that's prime social real estate. They're literally giving you a stage. It's like the first few weeks at a new job; you've got a lot of slack because they want to think they've made a good choice, so you get to set the tone.

bringing my whole self to work feels weird and i find whenever i have to do a "get to know you" exercise i create a slightly misleading sub-personality to fit the circumstances of the activity and play that character for the duration of the event does anyone else do this? no?

@horsepower what about a high mileage car with no maintenance history that needs all the rotted rubber and plastic replaced but it runs and drives for $600

Buying a high mileage car with an extensive maintenance history that has been very well taken care of > Buying a low mileage car that has barely been driven and likely needs a lot of rotted rubber and plastic replaced.

@Romy_Holland @DobsonMagdalen Everything is, being smart makes you even better at rationalizing them. Then, being poorly socialized means you don't have enough experience vibe-checking others to check yourself.

@DobsonMagdalen oh huh i mostly think of racism as the product of low level feelings not rational thought tho?

I read a long article recently about a child prodigy with a 173 IQ who grew up really isolated because of geography, family circumstance, and because she ended up attending college at elementary school age so she was never socialized and basically only hung out with her mom. she ended up never leaving her hometown and after a violent incident against her family, she basically went into seclusion. I looked her up to see if there was anything new in the years since she was profiled, and the only thing I found was her fb profile, which is full of nothing but extremist content about "islamist scum" and "Kremlina Harris, her Commie squad and their ilk." it's not nuanced or interesting, and it's being posted to an audience of 23 people. this has caused me to update significantly on the potency of culture/memes. I've always thought the concept of mind viruses was a bit overblown, but that feels like the most accurate description of what happened to this woman. mental horsepower alone was not sufficient to inoculate her. if anything, I wonder if smart people sometimes talk themselves more fully into wrong ideas, and are harder for others to dissuade. anyway, this is super sad. I know plenty of ppl who spend all of their energy gathering bad info to prop up bad world views, but none of them were previously on track to do something extraordinary in the world.

@humbleblazer You can still buy them and they're still dope as fuk

20 yr old cars in the 2000s was dope as fuk and it seems like only I knew about it

@kitten_beloved Yes.

If you're blue at 50% but not 75%, then you're really no different from a red pusher, you just have a different bar for how much other people can be counted on x.com/mr_eee_esq/sta…

god forgive me, more button discourse Every very scientific poll that totally accurately captures how people would act with guns to their heads has come out ~58% blue So let's up the threshold to 60% blue required to save everyone Blue voters, does this change how you vote?

@Cenjin_02 @RuffCrim It can't be correct if it's wrong. Update yourself.

@RuffCrim doesnt matter. red is still the correct option. there is no purpose of pressing blue, other than to risk your life for no reason. its literally. Press Red and Live or Press Blue and Risk your Life

My last word on the red-blue button thing, as it’s frying my brain: I can’t believe people still talk about “virtue signaling” as if it’s a ruse and no one actually helps others in real life Nurses, doctors, teachers, parents exist. It’s not “signaling”

@GovernorAnne Would you shoot it from the front or the bottom?

Just caught myself sending a man a text that said “Safe travels 💙” I’m gonna shoot my vagina with a gun

@Furry4Ever @shunnedmorlock That's the point. It's not about *you.*

@shunnedmorlock The issue with this question is they have no downside to voting red. It fails being a Prisoner's dilemma, because there isn't a "If you both pick red you both lose" outcome. This experiment needed something like "if more than 50% pick red, everyone who voted red dies"

If 100% of people vote blue, no one dies. If 100% of people vote red, no one dies. This is true. If 51% of people vote blue, no one dies. If 51% of people vote red, 49% of people die. If our goal is to minimize death, it is far easier to get 51% to act in concert than 100%.

@goblinodds Shit.

red/blue question except 100% of people involved are mentally competent to vote

@princess_worms @tenobrus There is no theory, you are simply not unique. If you can, others will. If your predictions for a mass coordination event prove incorrect, it is because you have failed to accurately assess your place in the distribution and overestimated the weight of your own preferences.

@tenobrus this is wordcel slop, not an actual theory

this is how retarded yall sound to me when u talk about "voting only affects the outcome if you're the tiebreaker and that's vanishingly unlikely" type bullshit. pull urself together and get a better decision theory

@u_n_l_0_c_k_e_d My car runs fine when the check light is on but drops a cylinder when it's off. I think it has an autoimmune disorder.

Cars check engine light turned off on its own. Remarkable how cars are able to just heal themselves the same way humans do. I guess weren't not really so different huh.

@BIMBOSATTVA_ There should be White Hat Crime provisions. Shoplifting is cool if you bring it back. Arson is fine if you have a new house in the same zip code for them to move into. Assassination with sim rounds, etc. It's not a crime I'm penetration testing.

They have non-alcoholic beer so why don't they invent non-illegal shoplifting so white girls can get the thrill without the consequences Is anyone building this?

@aleksil79 We do it because everybody won't push red.

if red is the sane default, blue pushers recklessly endanger themselves over nothing if blue is the sane default, red pushers defect for personal gain hate to break it to you but there's no sane default here. it's all in your head

@BIMBOSATTVA_ Animals find love all the time.

Normies are interesting because they have no hobbies or interests and no deep inner lives so they aren't capable of finding love with shared interests & inner lives because they don't find anything interesting & have no inner lives Is this just a skill issue for normies?

A winery near me has a toddler going through his Why Phase, but instead of asking why he says, "talk about it," like a tiny Italian.

@0xproxyy @tenobrus We stand on the shoulders of Better Men, whether we thank them or not.

@tenobrus In what way is this not a win for red pushers too? They also get the optimal outcome, but did so without any risk.

sorry chud, blue wins again

@Aella_Girl We are so very lucky that we can't be successfully mind-gamed out of this behaviour. Innate human selflessness stay winning.

Alright I tested this on Glosso, a small social media platform made up of adults with permanent account bans on the line (instead of death). Almost a thousand people voted. And the result was.... Exactly the same percentages as this poll

@DellAnnaLuca @lastsaskliner But blue does always win.

@lastsaskliner You're telling as if the results indicate there's an almost certainty blue always wins

In Aella's real-world test with real consequences, it was all adults, so no "child who couldn't know what to press" needed to be saved. And yet, 58% still decided to introduce risk where there was none, to save people who didn't need to be saved. Pure suicidal ideology.

@LinkofSunshine I'm not sure how but this is racist.

press red for $1,000,000 or press blue and if 50%+ do it everybody gets $1,000,000
