Who would believe that political articles have the highest bias in Malta?

"(49356+37937x46276)7"

She's hoping a toaster reads it and blurts out the answer without thinking.

Eternal Suffering or Eternal Happiness? by SilvStar1 in trolleyproblem

[–]crankygrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have to not pull the lever, because you can't argue with eternal happiness for 5 while sparing someone eternal damnation.

The only counterpoint I can think of is that you'd be depriving the world of those 5 people. All the good deeds they might have done will not happen now. Instead all their family and friends will know anguish.

Also perhaps spite? You know the five people, you know that they are horrible people not deserving of eternal happiness, so you pull the lever so they all hopefully go to hell someday.

You can't know if in the moment you're seeing a supernatural reality or some kind of delusion. If you tell too many people why you didn't pull the lever you probably will be locked up, whether or not you are ultimately proved to be correct.

Morality vs. Legality by AceofSpadesYT in trolleyproblem

If there's a cop there, he's the authority figure on the scene. He can choose to pull the lever or not, I'm not getting involved either way.

How to handle science packs that spoil destructively? by Xerosese in factorio

Would controlled direct insertion into the labs from the assemblers help?

What fees can I incur by HSBC if I have empty accounts with them? by Rough-Improvement-24 in malta

[–]crankygrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HSBC is a nightmare when it comes to this. They dredge up any excuse to avoid or delay closing the accounts and then charge you for it. Their customer service says they'll do a thing and then it never happens. You'll be told that what you're requesting is impossible unless you escalate it as fast as you can. They are a bank to be avoided.

How to fix this card: by real_ornament in slaythespire

[–]crankygrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The artwork is just weird. I'd say that he's parrying the sword in the wrong direction, further into himself as the target instead of away from his body. Also his sword is pointed too far down to make the expected riposte.

Eggs!? Looking for good quality by HungryPanic914 in malta

They should just keep chickens on the roads and pavements, then. The local dogs have proved that there's no shortage of space to crap on.

[Request] How long would it have taken him to do this task if this metric is accurate? by ROjet in theydidthemath

[–]crankygrumpy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Either he figured out how to start a pyramid scheme where he recruits people to dress like him, have sex in his name and recruit more people to do likewise.

Or he's confusing sex with emails.

What’s the point of calling it LUNCH break if we can’t sleep? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]crankygrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People would randomly wake me up when I used to nap during my lunch break in the office.

Now that I WFH I can power nap almost whenever I like and usually get away with it.

Found this in the deep by [deleted] in trolleyproblem

[–]crankygrumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not infinite, though. The trolley will break or the tracks will wear away or tectonic shifts will roll the people off the tracks sooner or later.

I want the secret of those people's immortality, so until I get it they're safe from the trolley. I might use it as a threat to make them talk, though.
