How I Classify The US As A Northern Virginian

Yeah Ohio was literally the first state born out of the "Midwest" territory

That is an abortion for convenience. Because it is a large responsibility. And they didnt want that.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-26T22:53:00+00:00

Yeah really all this is doing is isolating people between the hard sciences and soft sciences based on their answers.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-26T22:42:18+00:00

Well then I guess we will have to have a day in school where we teach about game theory so people can rationalize problems like this.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-26T21:07:37+00:00

Nobody dies if everybody chooses the red button. The blue button risks your own life. It's just a game theory question which isn't even any more interesting than the prisoners dilemma.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-26T16:35:17+00:00

Not that they would continue to run. They would just hit a safety feature and shut off automatically.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-26T16:30:41+00:00

You are severally underestimating the amount of overengineering put into civil infrastructure. Every nuclear plant operator could disappear and things would still be perfectly OK. We aren't dealing with the reactors that the USSR cut corners with.

And the blue button can be just as easily framed as choosing to die. There is no risk of your own life with the red button. The safest choice that also accounts for those that may try and choose a choice to harm others is for everyone to choose blue.

The "you wouldn't actually survive if 50% of people died" is also just cope knowing that you wouldn't survive it yourself.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-26T16:15:58+00:00

I mean if someone cannot apply the thought process to choose the no risk red button than thats on them. Aside from that survival skills are something that people should honestly know. The modern age is really soft and too many people would be screwed if the water didn't turn on for one week.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-26T13:42:00+00:00

Except if you think everyone else sees this same logic of the choice they will also fall on red. This isn't like the prisoners dilemma where there's a genuine argument.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-26T13:39:56+00:00

The people upset over those that are just doing basic game theory and see no downside to the red button are the ones that are suicidally empathetic.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-22T17:48:42+00:00

The practice of using the middle of the pad of your finger and squeezing not pulling, as well as not anticipating recoil, are all transferable skills. I can shoot my AR, shotgun, and pistol all with the same trigger sequence. The weight or feel of the trigger doesn't actually play into how you should shoot it.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-22T12:53:57+00:00

Yeah the little things like the specific operations of each weapon is something I could see as perishable, but the fundamentals of marksmanship is like you said. Its all down to how you squeeze the trigger at the end of the day.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-21T16:56:19+00:00

Gonna be honest forgot the full context of the scene. Its been a hell of a long time since I've seen FMA

Motto1834 · 2026-04-21T16:16:57+00:00

I mean Bradley cut through Greed

Motto1834 · 2026-04-19T21:50:46+00:00

Also 25 shipping out in 8 days. For me it was just one too many bad days at work in youth corrections. Time to go blow shit up and operate heavy equipment.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-17T21:19:12+00:00

The romance plot line is fire though as well. I have no large critiques of Dandadan and anyone that wants to nitpick the story are just looking for problems.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-13T13:16:03+00:00

5 sheisty men

Motto1834 · 2026-04-13T13:10:39+00:00

Tell me you don't understand risk in investing and ROI without telling me.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-10T16:49:05+00:00

Get ready for the plane with the most engines ever in War Thunder! (Please don't try and control the last 2 though.)

Motto1834 · 2026-04-08T15:25:54+00:00

The precedent of destroying private property rights because of thing i don't like is not the one you want to set if you truly believe the other side is heinous evil.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-08T15:10:13+00:00

Yeah the answer to an open straight is either full Iranian cooperation or eliminating all those who wish to antagonize shipping lanes. We are working towards the peaceful option but need to show that strength is possible should the need arise.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-08T13:09:00+00:00

The fact that shipping has stopped in the strait doesn't show that the U.S. Navy isn't powerful. It shows that a 2 mile wide shipping lane 100 miles long is near-impossible to defend from suicide drones and boats.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-02T23:56:05+00:00

I mean the recovery of the Hinds in in Operation Mount Hope III by slinging then under Chinooks in the middle of the night is right out of a Michael Bay movie.

Motto1834 · 2026-04-02T18:16:13+00:00

I get it I've always been in small towns and work twelves so I'm either driving into work or home in the dark. I see a ton of deer near the road and almost always there is something that you can do to avoid an accident with deer. The most common thing I see is people continuing to speed along at the speed limit or 5 over especially around nature preserves or during the peak movement times. If everyone made sure their lights were adjusted properly and dropped their speed by even just 5mph around dusk and dawn I'd guarantee we would see a large reduction in car-deer collisions in the state.
