@theramblingfool You seem pretty confident, maybe you are wrong?
English
If you're smart enough to understand the hypothetical requires analytical reasoning, but not smart enough to evaluate the hypothetical's actual complexity, you're going to be wrong and very confident. And anyone who understands enough to get it right will look stupid to you.

Red and blue button pushers: who's smarter? In a mostly-subscriber sample who took a brief verbal IQ test, the answer is... Blue pushers! If the whole population has an IQ of 100 with an SD of 15, their mean IQ would be 101.9, versus 97.0 for reds.

@cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero No one would actually press blue if their lives was really on the line

@mfacehero Red is not the rational choice unless you are OK with mass death.

Le 1er mai 1995, Brahim Bouarram, Marocain de 29 ans, était jeté dans la Seine par des militants du FN (ou RN, comme vous voulez).
Repose en paix.
Ni pardon ni oubli.
L’extrême droite tue, comme tous les extrêmes, politiques ou religieux. 🇨🇵

En ce 1er mai, nous rendons aujourd’hui hommage à Sainte Jeanne d’Arc, patronne de la France. À un moment où plus personne n’y croyait, à un moment de renoncement à la grandeur et à l’indépendance de la France, elle est celle qui n’a jamais renoncé. Plus que jamais, elle incarne le peuple français, ce peuple fier et courageux, qui n’en aura jamais fini d’être français.

@Danish_SMF This is "mean Santa didn't give me a Lego set" tier atheism

If God can stop the Devil but won't, and everything is God's plan, then God's plan includes evil.
That makes God the Devil.
Malcon@Bluextra274774
@Danish_SMF Of course. But the devil is trying to prove why God shouldn't rule. Safe to say everything is going according to God's plans

@ItIsHoeMath @AidanSimardone I hear you, but have you tried confronting scarcity with interpretative dance?
English
No one ever cares. It's because there's nothing they can do.
Let's suppose that I had the time and energy to understand exactly what you mean by "energy crisis."
Then, let's suppose that I take the time also to look at your evidence and decide whether or not your claim is true. Let's say I am persuaded.
What do I physically do that would make you happy? Name the physical actions that I would take with my body that would do something about the energy crisis.

I feel crazy. There is an energy crisis looming. I am screaming the end is near but no one cares

@TheSkepticWiz Notice that the concept of God is universal thought?
English
@DrFrankTurek Cause God is a multi dimensional principle based infinite canvas, not Santa Claus
English
@SpeedWatkins That's cause God is a multi dimensional principle driven infinite canvas, not Santa, grow up

If God is perfectly good, He would desire to save everyone. If He is all-powerful, He would be able to do so. If both are true, everyone would be saved. Since not everyone is saved, either God lacks power, lacks goodness, or does not exist. Choose wisely.
Frank Turek@DrFrankTurek
Why doesn't God save everyone?

@incentivising Sounds deep in theory, doesn't work in practice. Chaos doesn't win against calculation

Game Theory Trick: A good response to someone playing more strategically than you is to stop playing strategically. When outmatched, don't try to be smarter; try to be less predictable.
Few truly understand this.

@DinosaurTaxes @Tradermayne Indirectly yes, I mean "red" rising... And it's all about destroying the fascist elitist to create an all inclusive republic where all the races coexists in harmony blablabla, and obviously we get the token gay main character and the badass race of warrior women and all that shit
English
@CynicFinn @Tradermayne Finally a sensible take in this sea of NPCs... What books would you recommend then?
English
@Tradermayne Ah yes thinly veiled communist propaganda where every character is retarded, evil, or evil retard. Pinnacle of storytelling
English
@Tradermayne Theft of Fire: Orbital Space #1!
Mostly-reliable (but flawed...) first person narration, a colonized solar system, character driven, great action, it's a PERFECT Red Rising followup!

Nearly two-thirds of Denmark’s “renewable energy” comes from burning biomass — mostly imported wood pellets.
Not wind.
Not solar.
Wood. Burned for energy.
Burning wood for power produces more CO₂ at the smokestack than natural gas. 🤦♂️
Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki@MatthewWielicki
Denmark is constantly held up as the “proof” that you can replace a grid with renewables at little to no cost. The actual data tells a very different story… Since 2000, Danish household electricity prices have roughly doubled… from ~€0.15/kWh to ~€0.35/kWh. Today, Denmark sits among the most expensive electricity markets in the world.

L’Histoire de France n’est pas ennuyeuse. Elle est mal racontée.
Un château gouverné, agrandi et sauvé par des femmes. Un gamin de 14 ans qui marche 400 km pieds nus et fonde un empire du luxe. Un fort construit en pleine mer sur ordre d’un roi que tout le monde prenait pour un fou.
Tous les jours, je raconte la France. La vraie.
