For those curious, I voted Do Not Ban on Tera Blast.
I did not find any current TB users broken & I felt the best ban arguments were based on history or vibes rather than concrete logic.
With this said, I fully respect & honor the verdict. Excited for what is next! Stay tuned

it makes perfect sense to me that communists believe in building new institutions but centrist libs want to bring back the old ways of doing things before the fascist republicans destroyed the norms.

@Fimbulvetr39 it was so much fun in gen6 and gen7 to spikes to dodge thunderbolt or toxicspikes to live a closecombat

@owlthatissuperb i would swap at one minus the lizardman constant. 95%
English
Red/blue scenario, but you need at least X% blue votes for everyone to survive. Less than X%, blue voters die.
After what X does your vote turn red?
English
@Rudo1518568 @xriskology 90% need to vote blue vs 100% to vote red for everyone to live, so picking blue is the best strategy
English
@xriskology vice signalling. many of them admit "yes, children and colorblind and mis-inputs and random trip-and-fallers deserve to die". many of them suggest picking blue is a womanly act of illogic.
English
@sunshinevvn with actual stakes, blue would win even more after popular movements advocate blue-conciousness
English
there’s a history of this question being posted every year, always with tens of thousands of votes, and blue is always near 60%.
red pressers then always say “in real life the results would be different!!” but they can’t really believe that can they?
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?

@Verliswolf @prerat if even one fish is in the net, you need to skydive into the blender to save them.

Autist schizo game theorists and psychos know the right answer is red, but normies and NPCs will press blue every time

@Mendokse8 @ArmadaUGS yes i agree. if you vote red, shut the fuck up
English
@jamieHello_ @ArmadaUGS It's a private vote, you don't have to tell anyone.
English
I understand the "game theory" behind red even if it never would work in practice at all
With roughly 800-900 million people below the age of 6 it presents a massive issue with red which all or at least most seem to ignore.
So yeah 400-450 million dead here alone if red decides

@Mendokse8 @ArmadaUGS my wife misclicked and chose blue on accident. there is a community campaign for everyone to vote blue to save my wife and everyone who picked blue in solidarity. it's normal for people to judge you for killing everyone to save yourself when you choose red
English
@ArmadaUGS It's an individual choice. There is no reason to choose blue. You will not change the outcome of the vote and you will be at risk of dying.

@FACEE444 the rate of claims being denied fraudulently at uhc went down for weeks after the alleged attack. conservatively, the attacker saved hundreds of lives

I had never heard the term “social murder” before Luigi. It has always seemed like a pretty low effort attempt to defend his actions.
The only sense in which Thompson’s murder is justifiable is on surrealistic and aesthetic grounds: that it’s *interesting* that it happened.
Matt Bruenig@MattBruenig
@KelseyTuoc I think you've pretty clearly misrepresented Piker here. He was asked to theorize why some people reacted to the killing positively. And his theory is that they did so due to the disgust with health insurance sector's "social murder," which is a well-defined term of art.
English
@FearInherent @NotPotBol if he was such an angel then why did he fraudulently deny claims and also bribe employees to never calling an ambulence for eldercare patients under punishment of refusing their bonuses?
English
@NotPotBol You dont know anything about the man that Luigi killed. I actually know someone who worked for him and your perception of him is completely delusional.
English
I think I hit a nerve lmao. Hasan is saying this in the nicest way humanly possible, these people are snowflakes
Pirate Wires@PirateWires
In a new NYT interview, Hasan Piker says that many “understand” Luigi Mangione killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson because Thompson himself was guilty of “social murder”

@MarxianAngel 1602 denmark i need to eliminate the woke mind virus as it starts reproducing

If you had the ability to go back and time to change just one thing, what would it be and why?

@Kozzist @wokejucheism because then agents of counterrevolution will find themselves & their money welcome in the smaller or minority party diring competitive elections. but if there is only 1 workers party then they would facegreater obstacles to infiltration
English
@wokejucheism Why would one party represent the entirety of the progressive Communist elements of the Proletarian class?
English
sorry, how many proletarian classes are there?

One party rule is stupid and bad actually

@Whitewall33 @SmogonU vgc played regulation i until aug30 2025. on sept1 2025 the new format was regulation h, removing paradox pokemon and legendary pokemon from the eligible list. effectively, the pokemon company banned those pokemon for a few months until regulation F was brought back.
English
SV OU is suspect testing Tera Blast! Voting starts on April 24th!

@Whitewall33 @SmogonU how is that different from the pokemon company announcing a new regulation season where they dont allow pokemon x?
English
@jamieHello_ @SmogonU Man... there's standard ruling like item clause, using legendaries or not, and no dupe mons. Banning is picking specifically pokemon X or item Y and removing them from the format despite being matching with ruling
