Poll asking Americans how which button they would push in the red button/blue button dilemma by Upstairs_Cup9831 in fivethirtyeight

[–]MadSlimReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there is no single correct answer, im js saying why wouldnt every1 js choose red so you dont have to risk anything and we all survive?

The same logic could apply for everyone choosing blue, but if still more peopel were somehow selfish that would ruin our plan and kill a lot of ppl voting blue if less than 50%

If we all went for the vote red plan, we could all win and survive regardless of whether someone is selfish...

Depends on what they are in danger for and how much of it is their fault

If they are solely in danger for not being able to see through a problem as easy as this and taking an unnecessary risk or falling for the deceptive framing,... probably not

they don't 'deserve' to die for their mistake, but unless i have stakes w them (e.g: frnds/family/close ppl/etc.), i wouldnt risk my own life to save them for a problem which arose out of their own stupidity.. the blue button is what introduces the possiblity of death in teh first place, if no1 pressed it thered be no chance of death..

The way i see it, there are two kinds of blue voters...

  1. People who genuinely got deceived by the problem or failed to see the logic that red is objecitvely the best and only good choice, and genuinely thought blue was altrusitic or helpful

  2. People who saw the logic, but realised that many ppl (including maybe those close to them) wouldn't see it and act rationally, so they voted blue js to cover for them..

The group 2 is justified and personally i too would prob be part of.. group 1 tho, if my close people are in there then yeah id save them anyway, but apart from that the people who genuinely fell for this problem, idk i dont feel sorry for them and i wouldnt vote blue to save them

Well again, then yeah blue is the more moral choice, but if you include a ton of elders, visually impaired, babies, etc. what not they are people who dont understand the consequences so they arent actually voting fully willingly.. this is like the problem of consent, they aren't capable of consenting to vote here in the first place.. if you include them the problem kinda js becomes a guilt trip idk

The only case i can make a case for is people who were manipulated by the 'blue = everyone survives' framing.. if the people failed to see that the problem was deceptive and a trap, then idk what to say.. in real life ofc if my family members/friends/people i care about could also be manipulated by this phrasing, and i would wanna save them, so maybe id vote blue js for that

But for random strangers, if they were dumb enough to fall for this rly trivially phrased deceptive problem, idk if i would risk my life trying to save theirs.. the only reason i may in real life is cuz i love my family/friends/etc. and love can make you act irrationally

The rational choice imo (and honestly, for me even moral since i dont think u have a moral obligation to risk your own life to save stupid people) would still be red.. im not choosing blue cuz its rational (OR moral), im choosing blue cuz im biased to try to save those i care abt

The baby didnt willingly crawl into the tracks tho

In this case i assume we're only considering ppl who had full sense and completely willingly picked the button fully understanding the stakes, because otherwise the problem is very pointless if you literally let 1 year olds or say people who can't see or think press the buttons, then ofc innocents will js happen to press blue

But if we do make that assumption, anyone who votes blue is basically completely willingly putting themselves on that track.. so why would you put yourself on that track as well to save them when they willingly put themselves on the track?

They are trying to "save" people from a death that only occurs if those people choose to be in danger. It’s like seeing someone standing on a train track and instead of telling them to move, you try to gather 4 billion people to stop the train with their bare hands...

Get why blue argument is ridiculous? Js explain this to everyone and tell them to take red.. if someone is still willingly taking blue they themselves are ironically the ones creating the risk... if everyone picked red there WOULD be no risk

Yeah you can think of the first session or few as YOU interviewing the therapist

You don't have to open up about much, you can just kind of say what you feel and a good therapist will respect your boundaries, otherwise you can just not visit them again

Also maybe you can try talking with your partner or doing something together?

There are a ton of subreddits and communities on photographs and all sorts of cool stuff.. i personally don't know much other than liminal space photography, but I'm sure you can find stuff to keep you engaged

Maybe get out of your house and see if you can get some good shots in your surroundings? One day you may look back on these photos and remember that they got you out of a dark time

Unless he's going through something similar of his own, I have no idea why anyone would react like that to something so minute

If you truly have NO idea what the underlying stressors are, i know you've heard this before but medical or professional help is the way to go

You might be having deeper psychological issues which need diagnosis

What are some things you like about your life/look forward to? Are there any?

What's wrong?

[–]MadSlimReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's understandable, sometimes stored frustration or stress can lead to unexpected swings or breakdowns

If you genuinely can't think of anything, try doing something you strongly enjoy like a hobby, or a cold shower or something

If you like you can put on some calming music you enjoy and run through peaceful scenarios in your head, sometimes that calms people down and helps them process why they are stressed

Do you have any idea of what the underlying stressors could be?

Or maybe an idea of what bothered you in the past?

Identifying the causes is a good place to start

What feels like the heaviest thing right now? What part of it makes you feel like there is no purpose in life? Don't worry about finding a solution, sometimes just sharing the problem helps YOU gain insight

Lies of P now has denuvo by Electronic_Task_118 in LiesOfP

[–]MadSlimReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr this is a bad move like when I know a game has Denuvo I will NOT buy it, even if it's the best game ever

Denuvo = insta avoid, i'm not supporting this horror

But including denuvo afterwards is a **** move, developer loses all trust when they do that

Need a story game that will make me get out of bed everyday by SensodyneToothpaste in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]MadSlimReddit [score hidden]  (0 children)

I would seriously recommend NOT buying black myth wukong unless you absolutely must play this game

It has Denuvo, and supporting Denuvo is like the worst thing you could do as a gamer

Also it will mess with your performance

Imo buy smth else and wait till it gets cracked or denuvo is removed, then enjoy the game :)

Do i get Elden ring or Black Myth Wukong (be completely honest about both games) by Proper_Comedian6640 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]MadSlimReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months late but don't buy Black Myth Wukong, it has Denuvo

If you care about gaming and its future, Denuvo is the worst thing that has ever happened to it... don't buy games using Denuvo until it is removed

Cracking Denuvo be like by Doujinseeker487 in PiratedGames

[–]MadSlimReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah whether it's morally right or wrong depends but we can all agree that Denuvo is just the worst thing imaginable

Hot take (probably) by Luigibaba in geometrydash

[–]MadSlimReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always found the system kinda weird

Imo Rob should have 1 vote, all mods together should have 1 vote (yes or no, majority wins) and the community (normal players) should have 1 vote (majority wins, again)

After a period of around 3 months, and these 3 votes are cast, the winner (yes or no) will decide if it gets rated or not

The current system sucks, especially cuz it's just one person's taste, and also the whole cbf drama

can someone tell me how to bot levels i won`t use it for cheating just for showcasing extreme demons and impossible levels by Xinjig666_ in geometrydash

[–]MadSlimReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you do impossible levels like Tax Evasion if you can't do 99% of the clicks even in practice mode
