Sydneysider. Big music fan. By day I count beans and push pencils, by night I'm terminally online, he/him. I love my wife

I still love how he was doxed the moment he painted something criticising the British government's judiciary, and he immediately goes back to being a mouthpiece for the regime

The new Banksy sculpture in London is brilliant

@ScratchedWinter @_Zojka You dismiss any disagreement with you as crankery but he's clearly attacking people who fly the English flag. And not, for example, the LGBTLMNOP+ flag, the ukrainian flag, or the israli flag.
As evidenced by all the people with those flags in their bio loving the statue.

@ranmasaotome96 What's also funny is hearing people say british/aussie/kiwi accents all sound the same
English
It's surreal hearing an Aussie accent in a Hollywood film the same way it's unsettling hearing an American accent in real-life. It's supposed to be the other way round.
bianca@biancalovesfilm
having an australian in the devil wears prada 2 was crazy do we really sound like that to everyone else

@kilgenmus But ethical dilemmas don't have right or wrong answers... It's why they are dilemmas, there is no choice you can make that does not have negative consequences
English
We've made people believe there are no rights or wrongs and this worm is eating their brains

@dead_baseball does anyone else actually recognise that there's no right or wrong answer? there are obviously valid reasons for choosing both, what you value more in that moment is completely out of your control

@Fromittowas @JaMedFamLab That's... An exceptional scenario that proves the rule
English
@JaMedFamLab A high grade lymphoma that causes a stomach tumour to double in size every 1-2 weeks and can press on kidney, liver, causing failure or can block a bowel is certainly an emergency.

El cáncer no es una urgencia, aunque sea algo grave. No se puede diagnosticar en urgencias. Urgencia es aquello que amenaza la vida antes de 24 horas. Emergencia, antes de 2 horas. Todo lo demás tiene que ir por la vía convencional.
Alba@albihm
Nunca he contado esto, pero cada vez que veo post de médicos que se quejan de la gente que va a urgencias por tonterias, me hierve la sangre. Porque yo también fui un día a urgencias, me dijeron que no era nada… y a que no sabéis que era? Cáncer🤡⬇️

@0oMalt @wokenessucks @interface_a this is really good, it really drives home the moral complexity of different scenarios

So I asked AI (I know) but it gave me some actually great outputs:
Bank runs — Red outcome: panic/defection can become self-fulfilling and collapse the system.
Labor strikes — Mixed outcome: blue succeeds when enough people join; red wins when participation collapses.
Vaccination/herd immunity — Blue outcome when threshold is met; red outcome when too many free-ride or opt out.
Montreal Protocol/ozone layer — Blue outcome: broad cooperation worked.
Climate change coordination — Mostly red/mixed outcome: partial cooperation, heavy free-riding, slow progress.
Mass protests/revolutions — Mixed outcome: blue wins if participation reaches critical mass; red wins if fear keeps turnout low.
Honeybee/ant quorum behavior — Blue outcome: decentralized coordination often reaches a group-beneficial decision.
Tragedy of the commons/overfishing — Red outcome: individual incentives can destroy the shared resource.
Nuclear arms control — Mixed/blue-leaning outcome: partial cooperation reduced some risk, but defection risk remains.
Emergency evacuation/panic behavior — Mixed outcome: coordinated movement saves more people; panic/selfish behavior worsens survival.
Out of these, Blue won 2x, Red won 2x, and 6x it is basically 50/50 (Edge to blue though as 50% threshold was met)
English
The problem with the red button/blue button thing is that blue button people still live with this filter over their eyes that distorts reality.
They lack the self-awareness to realize that if they were actually in that situation in real life, they’d push the red button too. That’s exactly why they get so mad and take it personally when we don’t see it their way. They call us immoral and evil.
But we see the world realistically. They don’t. When you factor in the other 8 billion people on Earth and the raw fear of possibly dying, there’s zero chance 51% hit the blue button. 95–98% of people would take the guaranteed safe option and choose red.
We know this because we deal in reality, not fantasy. For us red-button people, pushing blue is suicide.
Is it sad that out of 8 billion some will inevitably hit blue and die? Yes. But if blue is suicide, I’m still hitting red.
The vast majority of blue button people lack the self-awareness to know how they’d actually react under pressure.
They’re the morons who die first in horror movies.
MrBeast@MrBeast
Everyone on earth takes 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? BE HONEST.
English
@robertskmiles But. You can't just say "nothing happens" for red, obviously not "nothing" happens if you press red
English
@dead_baseball does anyone else actually recognise that there's no right or wrong answer? there are obviously valid reasons for choosing both, what you value more in that moment is completely out of your control
English
Again, not making a "red is right" or "blue is right" post, but just adding something to the thought experiment.
Let's say the vote is tied. Half the world voted red and half voted blue. You have the only remaining vote... which one do you press (this one is obv blue)? (cont.)
English
@TheExiledDuck right? i understand people driving even if it pollutes the environment, it can be hard to even survive without having access to a car in some areas. but it has never been easier to eat a plant-based diet.
English
"killing animals en masse is okay if capitalism is no longer the economic system" seems a bit outrageous. for a bunch of online people who tweet about boycotting and personal sacrifice for "revolution"... kinda seems like it's just talk.

veganism is not inherently a morally superior position. the vegetables and fruits you consume are also harvested via immense cruelty & exploitation, not to even mention indigenous practices or food deserts. if you care about animals, the position to take is anti-capitalism.
English
@TheTarch @chaitinsgoose every reframing supports one argument or the other, there is no neutral reframing
English
@chaitinsgoose This is not isomorphic to the original. In the original, it would be akin to electing the entity that foisted the dilemma on everyone in the first place. Resisting tyranny is much more obviously worth dying for.
English
i realized framing impacts me too
there is an election. if candidate A wins, nothing happens. if candidate B wins, he kills all those who voted A. who do you vote for?
English
@esmond_leo1300 @owleyedwisdom like, you are losing a quarter of the worlds population at minimum even if red somehow wins. global civilization would go through a near collapse
English
@esmond_leo1300 @owleyedwisdom "if everyone will just" that is not going to happen, how can you not understand this
English
Red button pressers not understanding that the question has everyone already on the tracks

Dumbest fucking hypothetical ever posted
English
@loonsunshine It's actually great how you can use this topic to make a mute list
English
also think that the whole eating animals= not caring for them w/o any nuance is a very white centered take😭 plenty of indigenous cultures have sacred animals that are consumed but the entirety of the animal is used out of respect& there’s emphasis on humane means of life& death
ti 🌙✧*:･ﾟ@obviouslacking
my non woke take is that i love animals but do kind of believe in the food chain at the end of the day
English
@alrscg @Sturgeons_Law It's so patently obvious it's a stupid rebuttal. It could actually be the basis for an interesting conversation about these practices, but that's obviously not what they're doing here lmao
English
@Sturgeons_Law Further the thing they're responding to is a broad claim that eating meat is immoral. They take it that traditional Indigenous practice is a full answer to this charge. Even if you make an allowance for seal hunting or whatever how is that a response to "white vegans" generally
English
"Killing animals can show that you love and respect them more than people who don't want to kill them" is just one example of the incredible acrobatics taken for insight among "woke" critics of veganism.
river i hardly kno’erミ☆@ltcaulfields
@_rum_pumpumpum i had meant to say seal hunting, which is very important to inuit people. as someone who grew up learning about indigenous cultures and practices i am of the opinion that they probably love and respect animals more than most vegans who hold this opinion
English
@ehura17 nope, just easily annoyed by people who speak in absolutes
English
ever since i watched that documentary on whale hunting in inuit communities when i was in highschool i stopped taking white vegans who say this shit seriously

Billie Eilish says eating meat is WRONG and people can’t claim to love animals if they eat meat 😳👀
English
@DieselSynthesis @Jheauxx True, I'd also say the same about fast fashion (except that's even easier to avoid)
English
Eating meat is wrong and I've never really heard a single strong enough answer to justify it.
I eat meat and I know it's wrong. Meat eaters aren't winning this argument literally ever.

@DieselSynthesis @Jheauxx Going off meat entirely is hard when you've been used to it your entire life. I'm fully in agreement with OP but have not been successful yet.

This era was truly the last time JPEGMAFIA actually felt overtly experimental. Scaring the hoes might somewhat count bc he did experiment with the SP machine thing and I thought that was commendable. But overall structure, songwriting, vocal delivery, this was the last time
English
@Mar_Animation @Demous_Abyss Yes, I will change my answer depending on the number of people. So?
English
@Demous_Abyss My point was that with there being less people, the risk is much more high that blue could lose.
Why pick it when red is right there?
I was trying to make it clear how it looks to reds lol.
If you pick blue, YOU'RE the one introducing death to the equation, not red lol.
English
I have an idea:
Let's say that you and 10 people are locked in a room. Gun to each head. You can't see each other, you can't communicate.
Same exact scenario, but just for the 10 of you.
You're gonna feel real silly being the only one picking blue then lol
Maw@TheEbonyMaw
I have opinions on the new red/blue button debate. I interpret it as a test of whether or not you are in a high trust or low trust environment. Choosing the red button guarantees your own safety but also ensures people will die because there is invariably going to be people who will vote blue for whatever reason. But choosing the blue button is only a viable option IF you are in a high trust environment. The blue/red button question, in my opinion, is more of a question of “do you trust the group you’re in?” Pure altruism & trust vs. guaranteed self-preservation So it depends on the group. All other things being equal, I don’t particularly want blue voters to die, so I’d ideally vote blue. But I’m not going to stake my life on that if the group I’m in is particularly untrustworthy. So again… it depends on the group. If I was in a situation where all the other voters were my closest friends & family, obviously I would choose blue. But if I’m in a group of people who don’t know each other and are openly hostile to each other, I am pressing red.
