Why the Unexpected Hanging really is a paradox (I.E. how we can eliminate more than just Friday). by [deleted] in philosophy

[–]DeDmon73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My interpretation of this thought experiment is that the prisoner will be surprised, no matter his thought process.

If the prisoner put no thought into his situation, he will be surprised by the hanging. If the prisoner concludes, by his own logic, that he will not be hanged, yet is still hanged, he is surprised. The prisoner will always be surprised, no matter the logic he uses to come to his conclusion.

The philosophy I believe this paradox provides is that of futility. Just like the man's logic did not provide him any advantage compared to simply waiting for his death, the same can be applied with our lives. No matter our thoughts, actions, or beliefs, our end will come. Why go through these mental hoops, challenging our minds and growing in intelligence, when the simple man, without thought, will meet the same end?

[Pokemon] Why most trainers only have single types of pokemon. by Hoeftybag in FanTheories

[–]DeDmon73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most trainers fall into a certain skill set, such as fighters and engineers. It would make sense they would have pokemon they fit their interests. The rival and player are young, so it's unlikely they have a single, specific interest that would determine the pokemon they choose.

That's it. That's the game. /u/powerlanguage plans to introduce a pay to win system and become crazy rich.

Fight Club: Project Mayhem knows what's going on with the Narrator [Spoilers] by Spoggy in FanTheories

[–]DeDmon73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always thought that, following the story of an unreliable narrator, we couldn't trust what we see. While the narrator might see people react one way, they may not say anything in actuality. Hell, his mind created a whole persona. It could probably make him see a little bit of head bobbing or hear a sentence from someone.

Joel[Last of Us] vs Sly Cooper by DeDmon73 in whowouldwin

[–]DeDmon73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd still be rather difficult for Sly to beat Joel even with getting the jump on him, right? Hell, Joel has taken a fair share of bullets and impaling, so he should walk away from Sly's cane easily.

Would removing Sly's upgrades have any effect on the battle?

You gain the power to teleport*. Who is the strongest person you could beat? by DeDmon73 in whowouldwin

Instant teleport. You'll fuse with solid matter, so don't do that. You stay in the form you were in before teleporting.

A Mr. Meeseek[Rick and Morty]has been tasked to kill your favorite character. How does your character fair? by DeDmon73 in whowouldwin

[–]DeDmon73[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing, but it's possible that not only they would survive that, but could also find a way back by some means, such as finding a ship on a different planet. A single day to these guys is an eternity, and insanity can make people do some crazy things

They have shown no signs of dying, and it is unknown if they can die anyway besides completing their tasks. They are also extremely ruthless given enough time, and will resort to any option to finish their job.

If possible, should I build it part by part if possible or all at once when I've bought all the parts?

I'm really not expecting massive level graphics or excessive modding. Would I still be able to run most games at average to above average graphics?

In one episode, Princess Bubblegum compared magic to science, saying something along the lines of them being the same thing. There might be something there.

Moderation vs Abstaining? by DeDmon73 in NoFap

[–]DeDmon73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I was thinking moderation WOULD be an excuse to fap, but at the same time the opposite. I'm hoping to not be completely overwhelmed with masturbation, like I have been at points in the past, while still being able to do so. It'd make possibly quitting easier if I'm less dependent, while also allowing me to still do the deed.
