Controversial take. Band of brothers is really good but…The Pacific is better.

I think about this exchange often.
I still think it may be the most perfect explanation of the internet possible:

@OT11AndBlondie @aglassofmiIk In short, the show ended with the characters coming together in a purgatory-like place to reconnect and move to the afterlife together but people misconstrued it to mean they all died in the initial plane crash in episode 1 and the entire show was a purgatory which was incorrect

@aglassofmiIk Never saw lost, can you explain why? Im curious but I don’t wanna watch it

16 years ago today, an embarrassing number of people were revealed to be media illiterate

16 years ago today, LOST ended.

Coldest: GT vs Ole Miss Music City Bowl 2013
Hottest: Any early season game at BDS
Wettest: UNC @ GT 2013
Most miserable: Citadel @ GT 2019, GT had the ball for 13 mins

What's the coldest, hottest, wettest, or most miserable game you've ever attended?

The National League Cy Young race is shaping up to be one of the best ever.

@escapefrommelos I just hope they have a completely different combat system. The KCD games could have been good but they just had maybe my least favorite combat system in gaming
English
the studio responsible for a historically accurate hyper-detailed meter-for-meter recreation of 16km^2 recreation of the Czech countryside (and maybe the best sword combat system I’ve ever seen) is making an RPG set in Middle Earth
throw out all your blackpills and buy a new GPU

@MichaelHei25008 @On3 @d1baseball Anyone can get beat by anyone. Georgia Tech is less likely to get beat by anyone than maybe any other team though

@Matt__Ray @KemalOnor Nooo! All of my friends have been pushing me to read it
English
Have you ever read a popular book so poorly written that it makes you mad?
English
@KemalOnor Leviathan’s Wake. Don’t get the hype. It was very poorly written to me. And I went in thinking I would love the series

This shit is just detrimental to the Atlanta sports timeline

@DerpyErika @AlexJ_Andrews @ToriatheistTori The idea that prayer and action are mutually exclusive doesn’t align with Christian thought
English
@AlexJ_Andrews @ToriatheistTori what position is being misrepresented in this hypothetical thought experiment?

@JonathanAdams6 I really don’t understand how anyone would say lefty. A lot of blind people out there

8 people thinking this is a righty is psychotic
Talkin' Baseball@TalkinBaseball_
Is the MLB logo a righty or lefty?

@FredFli20201371 @payette_francis @RadioFreeStPaul @theramblingfool Even if I didn’t have that belief though, I would have a hard time pressing red knowing it’s contributing to the death of so many people
English
@FredFli20201371 @payette_francis @RadioFreeStPaul @theramblingfool So the choice becomes, do I have enough faith in people to risk my life to save billions of people, hoping that enough other people will also risk their life? My answer to that question is yes so I must push the blue button
English
You could've just said "I pick red because I want to live no matter what, but I hope blue wins because all else being equal it'd be better if a button game didn't kill a bunch of people."
But you really went with "If not literally 100% of people press red, they deserve to die."
English
@FredFli20201371 @payette_francis @RadioFreeStPaul @theramblingfool The original prompt specifically includes everyone. There is a very obvious negative consequence to choosing red which is that billions of people, including half of all babies, will die if enough people do the same
English
@wardy875 @payette_francis @RadioFreeStPaul @theramblingfool You’ve not only included a made up hypothetical that doesn’t appear in the prompt, but you are also including a negative consequence where none is written.
If it said choose red, you survive *and* blue dies, regardless of the blue % then we have a discussion
English
@JacoryH21 @ramez Pushing blue is analogous to seeing a baby trapped in a burning house but saving the baby requires moving a heavy object so you enter the house to try and save the baby but you will both die if some of the other people watching don’t also come help
English
@ramez Pushing blue is not analogous to saving someone from a burning house. The only people who need saving in the button scenario are those who willingly picked blue, knowing that red is the only choice that guarantees their safety.
English
People push the blue button in real life all the time. Anyone who risks themselves for others they don't know is pushing the blue button. We're not game theoreticians as a species. We evolved in tribes, with pro-social behaviors.
Neal Spackman@NealSpackman
I don't understand all the hullaballoo around this, but no one in real life is pushing the blue button.
English
@FredFli20201371 @payette_francis @RadioFreeStPaul @theramblingfool The fact that you fail to understand the consequences of choosing red displays a distinct lack of intelligence. I can understand if you are just not willing to risk it but to not understand why someone would want to do their part to stop millions of babies from dying is wild
English
@payette_francis @RadioFreeStPaul @theramblingfool The results of the poll only reveal people’s inability to dissect the question, as written.
The first person who selects blue potentially dooms the rest. Red guarantees survival with no explicit consequence. That’s the failure of the question.
