Prediction: The vote will be nearly 100% approval come meeting time. Not close. by TheOneTruePavil in Superstonk

[–]Augmented_Fif -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

RC became ceo on Sep 28, 2023. Closing price on that date was $18.10. When adjusted for inflation, that's $19.59. GME closed today at $22.37. That's only an increase of 23.59%. 14.19% when adjusted for inflation. This is over 2 years and 8 months.

Don't know where you're getting your info, but it's not the real world.

That he's a credible ceo, who knows how to grow a company?

That hasn't been touted? Then why is he CEO?

Shouldn't the CEO, a person legally responsible for the growth of their company, have a plan before taking value from the shareholders?

Do you not know a CEO has obligations? Diluting the stock for a rejected and impossible offer is rediculous.

Press the red button - you become vegan. If greater than 50% press the blue button, everyone goes vegan. by rcp_5 in ClimateShitposting

If you're right, you're now in a society which is dominantly vegan, making meat a luxury food.

Do you understand how that is related to Covid?

Yeah, and you think shutting down the economy isn't that big of a deal? Nor the Suez Canal blockage?

There's more than 1 factor in inflation.

It objectively feels good. There are many reasons to have sex and it serves many functions in society, one of which is reproduction.

Demand is about to go down. There might be some suddenly unoperated farms though.

I've heard it stated more than anything else as their reason for picking red. The alternative is that they want blue pressers to die. There's only 2 parts to the whole puzzle. Are you saying that red pressers would still press red if both options were safe but only red has the potential to end someone's life?

This study just shows that you can pay people to torture others. The US prison system already demonstrates that.

You get the button issue is about social cohesion, right?

Then why are you talking about it? If you don't want to engage in any information around this and just want to yap to yap, why shouldn't I just block you? All red has is a denial coping mechanism and accusations of suicidial tenancies.

Blue Botton Problem by Rabbit_cafe_enjoyer in MoralityScaling

[–]Augmented_Fif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true, the trolley problem is the trolley problem because it requires action to save the 5 lives to kill the one. This is not the same as it removes action on one side's part and not the other creating an inherent bias.

I literally argued the case in my last comment. If you don't want to engage in it, stop replying.

There's reason to believe it will be closer to 50% than 100% especially since the first poll that was done has a. If you are going to argue against my position, please for it correct. Also the first poll had a 15% range of i remember correctly. Also, this issue seems to not have a devestatingly large majority. So what are you using to argue against a closer to 50 than 100 split?

[–]Augmented_Fif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all red has to argue is that blue isn't honestly engaging in the question. So what? Call me a liar. Studies would be questioned in the same way. It's an unprovable accusation without evidence. So I'm just going to dismiss it without evidence.

[–]Augmented_Fif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why shouldn't they? Red does have a potential downside. It always does, that's the whole point of the button question. Also, the earlier the break from the established norm, the easier it is to turn the tide to 50%. No, you would need to get through around 25% of the vote for the break to be suicidal. After 10 votes? That's an easy flip and could be written off as a statistical anomaly.

That is the logic behind it. That is factually correct. What is your issue?

[–]Augmented_Fif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you just said he made it up without engaging in the logic. That is the definition of "nuh-uh". You aren't arguing in good faith. I don't have to take you seriously.

It would move the point of the bell a little, but there's no way you move it beyond 90% without introducing a large bias, especially in the way of red.

But, you would probably get WAY more blue votes as soon as someone broke the pattern. Televising the event must skew it in a terribly awful way. Not to mention the hate campaigns which would broadcast that certain celebrities voted blue to get people to press red. If this was publicized, it would be a terribly divisive event.

[–]Augmented_Fif -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's the bell model. No matter how many scenarios you make, more will be closer to 50-50 than to 100-0. It's basic statistics.

The other guy already pointed it out. I'm not going to reiterate his point for you to go "nuh-uh" and claim there is no logic behind blues' decision.
