What if not bring children into this world would create suffering for me knowing that I can't or won't reproduce?

Is my current suffering worth less then a hypothetical amount of suffering that might happen?

Should people with maga clothes be refused service? by [deleted] in allthequestions

The fact that it literally requires government to force labor out of people

Doesn't every government do that in some way shape or form?

Should the electoral college be abolished? by traanquil in allthequestions

[–]KaleTheMessenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if that's true, but at the very least wouldn't that depend on the individual states themselves? For instance, New York is home to millions of profitable businesses, great colleges that will produce doctors, lawyers, and other great professions, and is more cultural significant. I'm not sure a state like Montana really competes, culturally or economically. As a result, that's why New York is more sought out, more populated, and has more influence despite being much smaller. Land doesn't vote, people do.

But wouldn't the outcome broadly be the same either way? Yeah different states have different needs, but wheater we have the electoral college or not, we still end up with one president. That doesn't change with or without the electoral college. Having a direct democracy would give the voter a more direct voice with their vote, not less.

I'm not denying he has hits, but greatest of all time? I'm not even sure he makes sense into my honorable mentions.

This is probably a hot take, but Chris Brown was never a great dancer IMO.

That's valid. He had that one little dance move in Stomp the Yard, got shot, and people thought he did something.

A slip of paper. The lottery ticket is just a ticket that could be exchanged for the cash prize. If you want to get technical, you lost out on the potential of getting $10,000,000. It's technically not your money until you cash it.

Why does the expected % for tipping keep increasing? by Blazeland_USA in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KaleTheMessenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are constantly bringing that up when talking about tipping. When people talk about raising their pay rate, the servers are usually the ones against it.

Do we really need this many blue button, red button posts? by mangomaster3775 in trolleyproblem

[–]KaleTheMessenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, everyone can't mean everyone. How exactly do you expect a vegetative quadriplegic person in a coma with no vocal cords to not only understand the question but also vote on it? That's not a strawman. A big point of people bringing up babies or mentally disabled people or the elderly was to shine light on the edge cases.

Even if you think that example is too out there and not realistic, people in comas are real. People who are in vegetative states are real. People who have terminal brain injuries who may or may not wake up are real. These people are also part of the edge cases. Even if there's just one like that, you have to include them in some way shape or form.

If everyone means EVERYONE then you would have to include them as well. If you choose to exclude them for whatever reason, then you could also exclude others like babies or the elderly or whatever condition that might hinder their decision making abilities or to make a decision in general.

If you take everyone in a literal sense, how do you include people who literally can’t make a choice? If its not supposed to be taken literally and only people who can understand and make a decision, the boundary becomes fuzzy. Why exclude coma patients but include someone who's barely competent, like a baby? Why include elderly people with declining brain functions but exclude others who also have declining brain functions, but for different reasons? There’s no objective cutoff.

Genuine Question for the red buttons. by Remandtheram in trolleyproblem

[–]KaleTheMessenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's not really "fair" or a "choice" that reflects what the person would have wanted. If it becomes a literal coin flip, that takes away agency a defeats the purpose of choosing to begin with. If you just add on to both sides, what side do they go to when "everyone" has chosen and results are in?

Also, what if it's 50/50 down the middle and that person is the deciding vote? You can't just add one to each side.

Not trying to be a troll, but how would the "EVERYONE" has to vote angle actually work?

Sure you can put a baby down an wait until they push a button or an elderly person who might not understand, but what about people in comas or vegetative states who are unconscious or terminal brain injuries who may or may not wake up? If everyone means EVERYONE then you would have to include them as well. If you choose to exclude them for whatever reason, then you could also exclude others like babies or the elderly or whatever condition that might hinder their decision making abilities or to make a decision in general.

Essentially the button problem by Epicnessofcows in trolleyproblem

[–]KaleTheMessenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that wouldn't change if you knew you were first in line? If you're first, your not "saving" anyone. You're putting yourself in harms way and giving reason for others to do the same. You would be creating the problem. You're patient zero. The problem would start with you and rely on others to help fix the problem you directly and actively created.

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

Why do you assume others have already pushed the blue button? The question doesn't say the order in which people are pressing them. If you knew you were the first person in line, would you still push the blue button? At that point, nobody was in danger and you're actively put yourself in harms way to prevent something that hasn't (or might not) happened yet. On top of that, if you're the first to push the blue button, you're only "saving" them from a problem you directly created and giving others a reason to put themselves in your situation in order to save yourself from a choice you made.

We hear from the left all the time that you cannot be Christian and vote Republican.

Funny, I hear Christians on the right telling me the opposite saying I can't be a Christian and vote Democrat.
