Chucko

Was rummaging through some old images, came across this gem. Politics used to be more fun, even if this a bit corny.

@totoriscreens @0FedKin @theblessedsalt I like you guys, you both seem to know how to discuss something without mindlessly hurling insults and hyperbole.

@0FedKin @theblessedsalt @therealchucko Keep in mind this isn't a far fetched hypothetical, this is part of the original problem. "Everyone" includes cancer patients, the elderly, many people who expect to die soon regardless of the outcome of the game.

I think the Team Red people are just pretending not to get it at this point.

@LightLawli58649 @0FedKin @theblessedsalt As a Cincinnatian and Ohio State fan, I'm going to have to take that statement personally twice.

@0FedKin @theblessedsalt @therealchucko Reds might just be retarded, I guess I have to go blue

That's a good point, I guess I was speaking to it being obvious to me. I would hope if it were completely blind and those who were incapable of making the decision logically were unable to be represented, then I'd probably go blue. Rethinking this a bit myself though. Quite the theoretical.

@therealchucko @CkarasuStream @0FedKin @theblessedsalt It does not, in fact most reds still vote red in this scenario as well.

@0FedKin @JEmCeeKnight @theblessedsalt It's amazing how quickly they degenerate into calling you "idiot," "moron," and illiterate. I commend you for maintaining your composure and simply bringing the facts in a reasonable way Kin. Not many take the time to do that anymore.

@JEmCeeKnight @theblessedsalt @therealchucko Tim Urban is not the OP. He is one of many people who have posed this question over the years. Not only that, but I am only operating on the original text of the question

That's the problem, people interpret it differently and it's impossible to discern the intent without clarification. I think the main thing I learned in this exercise is what I already knew: by and large people on social media are severely lacking in charitability. What if red button pushers aren't selfish murderous psychopaths, and blue button pushers aren't mushy communist pablum crunching idiots? What then, could it be that both sides have good intent? Nah. I'm pressing both at the same time and hoping in the end it just destroys this debate.

@therealchucko @0FedKin @theblessedsalt i feel like that’s the only reason the privacy was mentioned, to imply that everyone answers of their own volition

@goobwoob @0FedKin @theblessedsalt Yet it does not dictate that one cannot be advised prior to entering the button area.

@0FedKin @theblessedsalt @therealchucko the hypothetical states that everyone presses the button in privacy

@eW8fkgAM52GS9xW @0FedKin @CkarasuStream @theblessedsalt To be fair, I had never heard of him before that image was posted.

@0FedKin @CkarasuStream @theblessedsalt @therealchucko Ok now you're just coping. It was his posting of this question that kicked off this latest and largest round of discussion. So it's safe to assume we're always using his version of the game.

@0FedKin @PopperCute @VeryLittleClass @theblessedsalt They do seem quite angry. There's an amazing level of hostility on both sides if we're being honest, like this question just absolutely set people off.

@PopperCute @VeryLittleClass @theblessedsalt @therealchucko Lmao whats with the hostility

@tup1o @CkarasuStream @0FedKin @theblessedsalt Cool

@therealchucko @CkarasuStream @0FedKin @theblessedsalt Everyone means Everyone Private vote means Private vote It was NOT left out of the initial statement

Since many have asked, my complete thoughts on the red button vs blue button debate.

@0FedKin Hey now, let me make up 5 new conditions that weren't previously established so that I can ridicule and demonize you for having common sense!

"Blue button pushers think that they can trust 4 billion people across multiple races, religions, and cultures will all act with selfless altruism, even if at least 1 billion of them cannot read instructions." "What a sweet and intoxicating innocence"

@Gyzome @CkarasuStream @0FedKin @theblessedsalt It's a different proposal than the original. As with most things, clarification is key.

@therealchucko @CkarasuStream @0FedKin @theblessedsalt I think this may be the first recorded instance in history of anyone getting through to a red button pusher.

I think there's a lot of confusion due to acrobatic terminology with Mary. I really wish we would stop using the term "pray to Mary" even though it is correct in many contexts, and start using the phrase "ask Mary to pray for us." Same applies to the saints of course. I feel it would clear up a lot.

@Verlustt11 But catholics do pray Mary... they don't worship her, what do you mean?

@theblessedsalt @0FedKin What an incredibly uncharitable and condescending comment. Be better.

@0FedKin @therealchucko See, once again, the red button apologists come along inventing new conditions to the game. It doesn’t say anywhere that parents can control the vote of their kids. Let alone other innocents.

@CkarasuStream @0FedKin @theblessedsalt This clarification, seemingly intentionally left out of the initial statement, changes the entire equation. In this scenario, every vote should obviously be blue

@0FedKin @theblessedsalt @therealchucko

We had a family like this for several weeks in a row. Entirely ignoring the children, like they didn't exist. One started jumping up and stomping down as hard as she could in the aisle, causing the floor to shake. Mom couldn't be bothered to care. Parents can tell when thing aren't going to get better. If the kid is progressively escalating, take them to the back or for a quick walk around the Church like I used to do. Everyone wins I think it's delightful when a baby or child yells out or babbles during Mass. Once, when father finished his homily, a particularly spirited kid yelled out "FINALLY." and it was the funniest thing ever.

@lukei4655 What if the parents (both together) are just completely letting their child run all around the church singing and blowing raspberries during Mass while they sit there and pray...saw that the other day

Okay, I'll give one, just because some of you want to see the world burn: Those who complain about active children at Mass should be deprived of the sacraments until they publicly apologize to the parents.

Priests should never do it. (Yes, I’ve seen it). Laity? Don’t do it. But that’s not a hill I’ll die on. I have my eyes set on bigger hills when it comes to Sacred Liturgy and the Holy Mass.

@MZeek85 @WLWT Hi Marcus, hope this helps! themediareport.com/fast-facts/

@WLWT The delusion of Ursuline to think he wasn’t doing weird stuff while employed with those girls should not shock anyone. Catholic schools will go to any length to protect the cult

A now-former Ursuline Academy coach is being held on a $750,000 bond on child porn charges. A detective in court says what they found is "just the tip of the iceberg" wlwt.com/article/ursuli…
