A surprising amount of people don’t understand that the sun is not on fire

wait is this true

@ESRogs @RichardMCNgo @catehall Game theory makes me feel fucking dumb, but I don't really see how trembling hand makes the equilibrium different here. The best option for any player [within what I perceive to be the bounds of the question, i.e. the option that leaves you most likely to live] is still red.
English
@RichardMCNgo @catehall Wait I don't get it, why wouldn't "everyone presses blue" be the only trembling-hand equilibrium?
If 99% press blue and 1% press red, then everyone lives. But not so for 99% pressing red and 1% pressing blue.

This one is funny because I know the game theory correct answer, and yet am instinctively leery of people who pick it
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

Genuinely if there's one thing I want the most in my sex life, it's to feel bullied. Not just dommed or hurt. Bullied.
Like in school. That same "amused and entitled aura" as I'm forced into painful, degrading things while they laugh and give me no choice.
Pushed around, beaten

@hierarchyorder @narrenhut @Jameslo27683575 This is just wrong lmao
The statistics about immigrant crime don't categorize people based on inferences from a person's race, they do it based on whether that person is a citizen or not.
English
@narrenhut @Jameslo27683575 Also, a significant amount of "white" crime is committed by non-whites labeled as white, so the official crime statistics overstate the white crime rate thus understating degree to which immigrants commit more crime than US whites

David Leonhardt has just written what might be the most important and insightful article that the New York Times has published in years: a thorough and scrupulous left-wing case for immigration restriction. It's something that would have been inconceivable only a few years ago.

@CartoonsHateHer That being said, I've had many women and 0 men personally tell me that they were into knife/gun play, fairly advanced forms of impact play, etc.)
English
@CartoonsHateHer (Psa: I'm playing fast and loose with the term "met," here, particularly when it comes to things that are illegal; I've never had someone personally disclose that they were a necrophiliac/zoophile/etc to me, but I did stumble across more than one Tumblr blog back in the day.
English
I get that women are “just as horny” as men (sure) but nobody can explain to me why next to zero women are turned on by men’s feet, socks or dirty underwear
English
@MrPrudentialist It's almost like Greece is right next to turkey and almost certainly influenced sculptors there, especially since there were plenth of Greeks in turkey into the 20th century
Also this sculpture was illegally looted after its discovery three years ago.
English
@Aella_Girl ...so you're saying you need a guy with less social status than you?
English
@big_monke_ @netcapgirl In some cases it's fine. In most, it's not, because you're working in the same field and creating potential conflicts of interest. There are also issues with things like trade secrets and other things that you don't want employees of other companies to know.
English
@netcapgirl I actually don't see what's wrong here, if the managers believe the employee is worthy of that paycheck how is the company being harmed? They have no business on the employee's life outside of work

@AutomationCode @LuxFella @jcarterwil The person you initially replied to agrees with that. Learn to read.
English
@Provocafleur @LuxFella @jcarterwil The system should be setup to automatically flag duplication immediately. If it is, but is ignored, that is facilitating abuse of the system.
English
As a software engineer I can assure you that this is absolute bullshit.
English
@AutomationCode @LuxFella @jcarterwil Okay. This doesn't change the fact that there are 40 million of them assigned to multiple people.
People born in or after 2011 are 14 at the oldest. Almost entirely irrelevant in a discussion about W2s.
English
@Provocafleur @LuxFella @jcarterwil The SSN is assigned uniquely (law.cornell.edu/wex/social_sec…), and are not reused (ssa.gov/history/hfaq.h…). Some areas of multiple 3 digit geo/location blocks, but no longer applies after 2011, as they are now random.
English
@jcarterwil @LuxFella (I also question whether SSNs are "stolen," in the sense of full-on identity theft. There are plenty of people who are working illegally and using someone else's social, sure, but it's usually just one that they made up on the spot because their employer doesn't use everify)
English
@jcarterwil @LuxFella No one "wonders" because disclosing information like that to ICE would be a blatant fifth amendment violation.
It's the same thing with the box on the 1040 where they explicitly ask for income from crimes; the fact that you put a number in that box will not be disclosed.
English
@AutomationCode @LuxFella @jcarterwil would start repeating SSNs.
(Also my math was wrong, it's actually every 100k).
English
@AutomationCode @LuxFella @jcarterwil because of how SSNs used to be assigned; the reason your SSN is divided into three parts is that the first three digits used to be assigned to geographic locations, and the rest were given out in sequence. So, every million babies born and citizens sworn in a place like nyc
