@motsdemaelys Do you mean the stories turn out to be problematic, or that you go on to research the author to inform yourself on whether or not you like the story they wrote?

honestly i'm this close to quitting reading for good. every single author i actually love turns out to be problematic or worse. i'm so tired of finding out after i already got attached. feels like i can't enjoy anything anymore without a background check first

Tell me you are in your 30s, without telling me you are in your 30s

one of my friends told me it is because at times, you have to look at what’s inside the person. is the person beautiful on the inside. now that makes you go for non slim babes.

"I like slim women" but your ex has the biggest ass I've ever seen in my life

@YOLO_AEMCS When you buy garri, fry it to dry and store in small, airtight containers like ziplocs

@Ayang_elly I am not oh. I dunno what gave me the impression you were a United fan instead.
I am always interested in the "origin stories" of Arsenal fans

You would not imagine how sad this single tweet has made us. We are so scared to win now because of this
ㅤً@Evertxn
Even if Arsenal win the league and UCL, they won't be the best team in either competition.

@astrasdoctor So in summary, wait for NASA to do the vetting process first, then pick from the chosen few? 😅

sometimes i wonder why astronauts are all so charming and funny then i realise they literally go through psychological and psychiatric selection processes to ensure that they’re not a pain in the ass to be around 😭😭😭

I just remembered that I did online couples therapy with an ex. 😂😂 Relationship weh get to spoil go spoil

I’ve never seen a Cameroonian going for therapy

@MHasia21812 There is a chance, but it's unlikely. This team with Mbappé out of contention is a different beast
English
What if we didn’t sign mbappe would we have gone trophyless back to back . I’m just curious
English
@kareem_carr False dichotomy of "be rational, or be irrational". Mostly rooted in the lack of theory of mind, IMO
English
These kinds of problems are bad because they falsely convince a lot of people that math requires them to be an asshole.
Basically, the math ends up blinding them to all the moral assumptions being made.
English
If you press blue, the worst case is you die.
If you press red, the worst case is you took part in an action that killed just under half of humanity.
Clicking blue minimizes the worst-case moral injury.
It says you’d rather die than risk contributing to the death of another.

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?
English
I am convinced that if you think there's exactly one correct choice here, you lack theory of mind.
To be explicit, there is no single "win condition" here, and each participant's aim will inform what the "correct" choice is

@jack_whitcomb_ Your assumption is that "I want to survive" the goal for everybody.
There are perfectly rational thought processes behind picking blue. For example, people who are aware that the above assumption is a bad one will pick blue if their goal is "majority survives"
English
I'm convinced this is just a poorly phrased question. If you pose it as:
- Anyone who presses the red button lives no matter what.
- Anyone who presses the blue button dies, unless > 50% of people also press the blue button.
then it's clear that pressing the blue button is dumb.

I see. How many of you do this? I’d like to get a sense of how common this is.
Cristian@iamthatcris
the first thing I do when I install @shadcn is to add cursor pointer on the button
English
@recmo @waitbutwhy People will choose blue for varying reasons, and people will also choose red for varying reasons
The button pressers have various goals. Some want to survive, some hope everyone survives, some want to kill blue pressers, some hope to die, etc
The "rational" choice is not fixed
English
@waitbutwhy Who wants to live in a world populated only by red button pressers?

@JustinBonomo @waitbutwhy Well I’d say that is a skewed and leading framing because you’re associating live with red and death with blue.
English
@theEconBlog @peterrhague The assumption that all humans will act rational is wrong.
Also, the assumption that those acting rationally will have the same goal, is wrong.
English
@peterrhague Game theory assumes all agents are rational and have full understanding of the situation. Theres no real stakes for an online poll, make it real and the results will change.
English
Amazing how lots of self appointed game theory experts confidently asserting that blue is the stupid choice. But every time this poll is run blue wins. Not only is the “game theory” answer predicting the wrong outcome, its explanatory power is based on it being able to predict the right answer. So it’s doubly wrong.
