Do you think you have psychic powers? I.e., mental abilities such as mind reading, future prediction (clairvoyance), remote viewing, psychokinesis, dowsing, or similar abilities?

@Rob_ThaBuilder Of course I don’t want my children to die. But neither do I want them to have to live with the knowledge that their choice directly condemned many to death. There’s plenty of that as it is.

The ppl signaling their virtue by insisting the correct answer is blue, and only evil ppl would pick red dont really understand the question. It isnt a question about your OWN morality, but instead is a question of your perception of everyone else's morality. And it isnt even a measure of their "morality" but is actually a measure of their survival instincts. Betting against the survival instincts of 50% of the human species is a bad choice. Anyone who is facing this choice for real and had to think about it for more than 5 minutes would pick red, and more importantly, would council everyone they care about to pick red. Would you want your children to risk their life on 50% of the human species to bet against their own guaranteed survival? No decent parent would.

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?

@theerealtao Can’t prove a negative. But 50+ years of experience on this world have demonstrated, to my satisfaction, that God is not necessary for the universe to exist, and that which is not necessary can be safely ignored. Your mileage may vary.

@ElizabethGMat @MaryCarmenOrd I get not trusting people. Most aren’t out to get you, but a few are, and you can’t know which until it’s too late. But here you don’t have to trust any individual, who may or may not betray you. You’re trusting people in general. People are mostly good, collectively speaking.

The problem here is that there is empirical data to support both: “The President is so loathsome that he would stage multiple assassination attempts to boost his popularity” AND “The President is so loathsome that multiple people would genuinely attempt to murder him”

@learning_yohei In ancient times it was much worse: every verb had a completely separate word for present and past tense, often with no clear connection between the two at all. Then the Vikings came and beat some sense into us. It was the same with plurals (like tooth/teeth, child/children).

@KR3Wmatic You make a claim. We don’t believe you. Simple as that. You can either prove your claim, or you can accept that we’re not going to believe you and go find someone else to bother.

How can atheists demand "a proof" or "evidence" of God? What is their reason? Do they think God is at their disposal?

@hoshizorarock Of course we will do what we can, but have you considered being more welcoming to Godzilla when he comes to visit? He might be more inclined to help then.

If the point was to gain sympathy, they didn’t need to fake an attempted assassination. They just had to wait for a real one, and exploit it. Security always has holes—just the nature of the business—and right now, apparently, there are a lot of people looking for them.

@MateriaMundi I think we’re only hearing from the Reds who had to talk themselves into it. They’re not trying to convince the Blues that they’re wrong, they just want to hear from other Reds about how their vicious selfishness is actually valid.

Yelling at people to press red makes zero fucking sense. You pressed red! You're safe. Why do you care whether other people die bc they pressed blue?

@worldwide_yuya Yamato, Cowboy Bebop, and Haruhi Suzumiya are my all-time favorites. Right now I’m enjoying Frieren, Witch Hat Atelier, and Nippon Sangoku.

@mmpadellan Not staged. No need. Security always has holes for people to find, and right now, for whatever reason, there are a lot of people looking for them.

A lot of people are saying they think the WHCD shooting was staged, as a way to change the narrative from his abysmal approval ratings and his bumbling of the Iran War. What do YOU think? Staged or not staged?

Red button, blue button, blah blah you know the drill. However, for whatever reason you're also asked to vote on behalf of your child, or any other person that you love very much. What do?

In front of you are two buttons, red and blue. Press the blue button, and it’s free ice cream. Press the red button and you get to slap the bejeezus out of Tim Urban. Choose wisely.
