Breaking news: The Trump administration does not plan to seek approval from Congress for President Trump’s planned 250-foot arch, arguing that they do not need it because lawmakers a century ago authorized a somewhat similar project that was never built. wapo.st/4dD92xG
English
One of the stupidest forms of slopulism
This is how you get legislatures even more captured by the wealthy and corruption
Jenni@hashjenni
My hot take is US Senators should be paid whatever their states minimum wage is. That’s how you represent your constituents, you live like them.
English
@RavindraDev0 No. Everyone is aware of the decision they make and the button they press always matches their intended choice.
English
You live in a world of fully rational people who all make the correct decision.
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 do they press?
English
@RohanGeo23 @reyes_01010 @selfmaxxer @JeauFCB The question literally says "everybody on Earth" though. So children are involved.
English
@reyes_01010 @selfmaxxer @JeauFCB i agree. if children are involved, im going blue. many people have this mindset. 50% easy no problem. now the question is what happens if its 18+ year olds who are competent and arent suicidal. and only they are included, not anyone else. so children arent at risk etc
English
Blue = suicide button that FORCES HALF OF THE POPULATION TO RISK IT ALL TO SAVE YOUR DUMB ASS.
Red = nobody plays the game
Blue is selfish at its core.
If you care about people, you would tell them to press red for themselves instead of joining the mass suicide.
𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓪@oliviamotee
all the worst people in the universe deliberately miswording the question and choosing red in the replies/quote tweets unless you value your own life more than that of billions of people as well as many of those you love, blue is the obvious answer
English
@depression2019 Red presser keep getting big mad that blue keeps winning.
English
@TheCartoonLoon 25% of world population are kids below 15
8% under 5
Let's say there are 20% who can't understand
Randomly 10% of kids will press blue
Is it better for society to risk 39% of population to save 10% of the least useful and most easily replaceable?
English
I never said that blue voters cant trust people?
I said young Children won't understand the fucking question and just smash red or blue randomly
Error302@Error3022
@TheCartoonLoon people will say shit like this and then turn around and go "red voters are untrustworthy and can't live in a high trust society" meanwhile you are literally saying blue voters should not trust anyone.
English
@phthalobloo @MrBombastic2525 @TwittaUser22 @TheCartoonLoon It is your fault though that you don’t get that people are not debating those questions.
English
@MrBombastic2525 @TwittaUser22 @TheCartoonLoon Not my fault everyone is 3 years late and hopping on it like it’s some new fad that was thought up this week.
English
@BoomerTiro @joshscorcher There would be lots and lots of small children who don’t understand the consequences of their button press who would press blue.
English
@joshscorcher and so far not a single blue presser has been able to make a coherent argument why red pressers should switch. The side of 'empathy' seems to have none. All they need to do is form a coherent case for blue winning. No guilt trip, no threats. Can you assure them blue wins?
English
@DuskGaming18 @LumLotus If you had a small child whose favourite colour is blue, then you’d hope other people vote blue.
English
@LumLotus Literally whats not to get?
Red = Guaranteed Survival. 0 Risk
Blue = 50/50 Gamble, where you might die, and Red lives on regardless.
And yeah "Risking your life for others"
The issue is, the more people who press Blue without reaching the 50% required, is more deaths
English
New point that doesn't make sense from Blue.
I still don't understand how it's "Red's fault" for Blue's irrational actions.
𝔏𝔲𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔢𝔯𝔳𝔞@LumLotus
Using AI to make others understand what happened with the blue and red button thing.

@IterIntellectus Nobody not terminally online uses the term suicidal empathy.
English
@Winston1374303 @TrueSlazac There is no feasible real life scenario though. It’s all just hypothetical.
English
@TrueSlazac Blue barely wins a twitter poll with zero consequences.. Red wins by a landslide in a real life scenario
English
Every time this poll goes viral, “blue” starts winning and it angers a lot of people who desperately want to see half of the human population dead to be correct in an argument
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?
English
@RealSpitfire There are like a hundred different protestant denominations for you to choose from. Why don't you try out one of your fancy American mega churches with a pastor who has never attened a seminar in his life flying around the hall?
English
@MichaelAArouet It’s easier to have a larger percentage increase if you start off lower.
English
One reason Poland is the growth champion and Germany the sick man of Europe is productivity growth.
Poles understand that they need to work hard for a better life. Many Germans follow left narratives of “tax the rich” and look for government jobs instead of starting a business.
English
@KellyKullberg @megbasham Again, your evangelical site won’t be better at catholic bible teachings than the Pope.
The Pope is not telling you how to best make it look like you’re actually flying through your megchurch, so perhaps stay in your lane as well.
English
@lukas_lukassi @megbasham Did you read, or even skim, the short e-book to find out what is in it? Or watch a few short videos? We don't cherry-pick a favorite verse or two but look at the 'whole counsel of Scripture.' AmericanEvangelicals.com/immigration
English
I am not trying to make my Catholic friends, who I love, angry with this statement. But this entire episode is starting to explain to me why so many Americans were concerned about a Catholic president for so long.
I have no interest in Rome trying to dictate American policy. And if it continues to loudly make its opinions heard on our foreign policy, I believe they’re going to find a lot of American Protestants feeling a lot less ecumenical than we have been in the more recent past.
English
@KellyKullberg @megbasham I doubt that the American Association of Evangelicals has a deeper understanding of Catholic bible study than the Pope.
English
@megbasham And it's especially problematic when the Pope doesn't seem to know the Bible very well - on immigration. God teaches NOT open borders but wisdom or "wise welcome." An actual Bible study (free) & videos (again) are here: AmericanEvangelicals.com/immigration

@FaytuksNetwork There isn’t a deadline that Trump hasn’t chickened out from.
English
BREAKING: President Trump has set a deadline for European allies to provide concrete military support in the Strait of Hormuz, including the deployment of warships, Der Spiegel reports. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte informed European countries that political pledges made since the start of the conflict are no longer sufficient.
English
REPORTER: They're still firing ballistic missiles!
HEGSETH: Excuse me. Why are you so rude? Just wait. So nasty.

@Red_Roscoe Truman had a "the buck stops here" sign on his desk.
Trump ultimately is responsible for everybody who is in his administration.
English
Nobody comes out of that NYT article looking good. But Trump is ultimately to blame. When everyone on your team is too scared to tell you the truth, it’s because you’re a bad manager.
English
@davehilton33 @RedGreenBC Which is why is being tried for them now, to determine whether or not he is guilty of committing war crimes.
English
@lukas_lukassi @RedGreenBC Yes the Taliban soldier who committed war crimes got away, he had already returned home to a heroes welcome. No war crimes have been proven against Roberts-Smith.
English
Do you know how much of a sick freak you have to be for TWENTY-ONE of your fellow Operators to testify against you in civilian court with no other incentive than idk their sense of organizational decorum
auspill@aus_pill
Ben Roberts-Smith > 6’7, 250lbs (200cm, 110kg) > Taliban described him as the ‘big soldier with blue eyes’ > Fought with crusader’s cross patch > SASR, Victoria’s Cross recipient
