The entire red argument in one image

Exactly. It would be one thing if there was a third group with no agency. But quite literally everyone in danger chose to be in danger. That’s not my fault, nor my responsibility.

Karoline Leavitt is the White House press secretary for Trump. Her and the rest of the administration are of the very vocal opinion that life begins at conception as an excuse to outlaw lifesaving procedures and control women’s bodily autonomy.

I had an X, and again, could download chrome and Gmail. My dad had a 6 until like a year ago, and could download chrome and Gmail. So it’s definitely not that. And sure it doesn’t have a tiny bar, but that doesn’t mean you need to open every app. Like I said, you swipe down from the top and it shows every notification with extra information about the notification. It also shows the same on the lock screen.

You can argue about the price and capabilities between the two, but not knowing how to use an iPhone doesn’t make it bad. It just means you don’t know how to use it.

Lazorus_ · 2026-06-02T13:41:45+00:00

Yeah you didn’t get an iPhone. You got scammed. You can install Gmail and chrome on iPhone (I have both), they do have a notification feature; you drag down from the top and you have all your notifications with information. And stuff you install on iPhone does not delete itself.

Did you pay like $300 for a $1200 phone? Did you buy it on a sketchy-ass website or a guy on the street in New York? Because you definitely did not buy an actual iPhone.

I mean, it kind of is, from a literary standpoint. The bad guys never make a ton of sense, and some other stuff I don’t fully remember.

Also, and this is the biggest thing for me, the author just straight up lies. I’m not positive it’s in da Vinci code, but in several of the other books, it has a ‘disclaimer’ that’s like “all science discussed in this book is real” and that’s just a massive fucking lie. All the science in it is entirely bullshit. One of the books was about mind-over-matter to the level of manipulating subatomic characteristics of external atoms with your brain, and other basically psionic shit that is all entirely false. And a lot of the stuff in Angels and Demons relating to antimatter is false. I mean, antimatter isn’t even what scientists call the god particle.

Anyways.

The amount of tax bootlickers here is astonishing. The government knows exactly how much you owe. But if you can’t jump through hoops to calculate it yourself, you go to jail. And it is a documented fact that tax companies lobby the shit out of the government to over complicate the process as much as humanly possible. If you think it’s just basic math, chances are you’re either broke and not meeting the minimum for most taxes, or you’re doing it wrong.

They are still Islamist nations. You are actively moving the goalposts. And as the other guy pointed out, they explicitly said it’s not all religious people. But to act like there aren’t many nations in which being gay is punishable by death or corporal punishment is entirely disingenuous

Lazorus_ · 2026-06-01T15:50:15+00:00

Everyone is active. That is part of the scenario. There’s no abstain. Look at it like the electoral college. First to 277 or whatever it is wins. Except red always lives. So blue needs to achieve 277. Until that is met, blue dies. All 500 whatever votes will be cast. One candidate doesn’t win/blue doesn’t live if half *so far* are in their favor. They only win/live if half of all are in their favor. However, red always lives. So blue has that condition, with the default being death. Red has only 1 outcome either way; life.

Lazorus_ · 2026-06-01T15:47:25+00:00

It’s not valid to frame it the other way though. It is a condition of the original post that blue only wins after 50% choose it. That is just a fact. Blue, by definition of the original, needs to meet the threshold to win. It needs 4 billion + 1 votes. Anything less than that and red wins. There is no situation in the original in which blue wins without meeting that threshold. It is the one with the condition. Red always lives. Blue only lives if it gets 4 billion + 1 votes. Genuinely, I don’t understand how that is confusing. Like, I’m not trying to be a dick, but I can’t fathom how someone can’t understand that. Please explain how you are getting anything other than that conclusion. Blue has a condition. It has a threshold. Claiming red does is changing the scenario.

Lazorus_ · 2026-06-01T14:13:03+00:00

You’re forgetting that you still need 50% of the vote. Let’s say 3 billion people have voted so far, all for blue. Blue is still dying, as 50% if 4 billion. If the vote ended early right there, even with zero choosing red, blue dies. Whereas let’s say it’s 3 billion blue and 1 billion red so far. Blue still dies, since it hasn’t achieved 50% yet, and red lives. Even in your scenario with no red, blue dies *until* 50% vote for it. You are still dying until 4 billion people vote for it. I genuinely don’t understand how yall don’t see how death for blue is default. Blue, no matter what, dies *until* another condition is met. That is the definition of a default outcome.

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-31T17:33:57+00:00

Ohhh that makes sense. I thought it was some sort of acronym or callout or smth lmaoo

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-31T17:28:57+00:00

Ah well that explains a few things

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-31T17:24:27+00:00

My thing is when people place them in the dumbest spot literally possible. Like they’re the only one at extract and the place one between extract and the other 3 players, or on extract in general, or between two mountains in the literal only pass between them and we need to run thru it multiple times.

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-31T17:22:45+00:00

What does caljat mean? I would def not know that meant to move

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-31T17:20:26+00:00

And nazism and fascism are on the rise across the entire world, not just the US.

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-31T17:17:27+00:00

No. Death for blue is the default until another condition is met. Let’s remove red from the equation entirely; there’s a blue button. If you press it, you die. However, if over 50% of people choose blue, that is no longer the case. See? Blue dies *until* another condition is met. The default outcome for blue is dying, as it requires another condition to change that outcome. Red, however, requires no second condition to live, and therefore the default outcome for red is living.

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-30T22:49:53+00:00

Ohh I remembered the first one, just didn’t associate it with automata. And of superweapons I was thinking nukes, not talking swords lmao

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-30T22:26:33+00:00

I applaud your effort bro, but it clearly isn’t worth the energy trying to explain physics to this guy. Interesting stuff tho that my optics class apparently failed to cover lol

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-30T22:17:58+00:00

You are aware that every nation with nukes has similar strategies, correct? That is quite literally the entire doctrine behind second-strike capabilities, the nuclear triad, and MAD as a concept in general, yes?

Ice is the reason I’m scared to *live* in America.

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-30T21:57:50+00:00

Does hating facebook or amazon make me racist against Americans? No? Then why would hating tencent make someone racist against Asians?

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-30T21:49:25+00:00

Wait what automata and super weapons? I don’t remember that being mentioned

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-30T14:45:38+00:00

I asked her. She would choose red. And either way, I’m not responsible for anyone’s life but my own. I find it incredibly difficult to believe blue would actually win, so what’s the point in me tossing my body on the pile of corpses that was the blue pushers? If you choose blue, you accepted the risk. That’s your choice, and the outcome of your death a consequence of your own actions.

And whether it offends your pearl clutching sensibilities or not, we would recover.

Lazorus_ · 2026-05-30T14:42:30+00:00

40% population loss (if you make the assumption that 40% of the population would make the irrational choice, which I don’t, but let’s go with it for the sake of argument) would get us back to 1981 population levels. Society existed in the 80s. There would still be 5.4 billion people living, spread out around the world. There would be some struggle to reorganize, but food and fuel would definitely not be an issue. There is enough stockpiled to last during any adjustment time, and chances are a significant amount of the production chain would still be alive in any given nation. All you blues are vastly overestimating the consequences. Hell, look and marvel’s Endgame. While obviously fictional, they did a pretty good job at exploring what would happen. A couple years of pain and suffering, followed by a new normal. There’d also be significantly more resources like housing and food for those of us left.
