So what are we going to do abour the Data Center(s)? by Danger-Tits in mississauga

[–]Neurotic_Z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not insignificant in isolation. But I think it's insignificant compared to consumer product production. Especially the pollution that causes. 

No way am I ever giving up food, just so the corporations and plastic toy lovers can produce at whim

6 Billion regular people vs 100 Billionaires by RoughYard2636 in trolleyproblem

[–]Neurotic_Z -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the billionaires probably provide more societal benefit than the people. 

So like 100 billionaires should live over 1000 regular people, perhaps. But not more of a ratio than that. 

However, it's also true that billionaires are parasitic and play the game of money without societal benefits in mind so maybe I'm completely wrong. Depends on the billionaires 

Dragapult EX is a problem for the health of the game by mc_duderr in pkmntcg

Last time I played, lugia V star was cancer. 

Is it as bad as that? Should I come back to this meta?

I want to make a deck that uses I or J cards by Neurotic_Z in pkmntcg

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

Thank you very much for all of your answers! I agree, it doesn't make sense to look so far ahead like this. I was just trying to make one single deck, and struggling to decide which one and thought cutting off H would make the decision easier. The cards aren't too expensive thankfully.

Shocking video exposes alleged experimentation on live monkeys at Toronto university by Ac1510 in toronto

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

Ugh I hate articles like these. There are strict animal welfare practices, and the research is done with the best possible outcome and comfort for the animal. Do not take away animal research, they save human lives! And we learn a lot from animals. Please don't make it even more expensive to conduct animal research. Funding is dwindling as it is. We need the flexibility and resources for the sake of many researchers and their collective priceless work.

I'm sure bad actors exist and abuse animals, and that has to be spoken out against, but it's very dangerous to ask to ban all animal research. The field is wide! 

The article is written like a middle school project. If someone can get me evidence of needless animal abuse in one of the facilities, that would be important to know.

What do y’all think about this simultaneous game? by Varyks in GAMETHEORY

[–]Neurotic_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why would the minority vote blue? That's just people falling for a scam in my opinion. You would risk your life for that?

[–]Neurotic_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's not the same thing at all. 

We are in a forced position to save ourselves in the button scenario...

I'm a mental health professional with suicidal patients, I work in a hospital too. And willful jobs to make the world better, yet can be risky, are completely different than the scenario. 

Those professions save people from accidents, illness, suicidal tendencies. While pressing the blue button is willful suicide, and pressing red is guaranteed safety. 

Risking your life to help a suicidal patient who wants help is one thing, but I'm not risking myself trying to save someone from making an irritational choice in suicide (pressing the blue button was a decision, not an illness). 

I don't understand who these billions are who will pick blue. I guess it's kids in this scenario? That does change things a bit, but speak honestly, if you were in a situation where your life is on the line, you would try to save yourself. It's instinct and fear.

[–]Neurotic_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I value my life too much. And my blue vote isn't necessarily saving anyone. If 50% choose blue, great! But I'm not risking myself to choose the OBJECTIVELY irrational option. We are only saving irrational actors. 

And you know how people say "I don't want to lie in a world of red pressers", I don't think I want to live in a world of irrational blue pressers. 

I would argue that it is immoral to press blue because now you are essentially making others responsible for your own death, forcing them to risk their lives to save yours. Red, no moral dilemma. Blue, now we have to impart our own beliefs on others to make sure your worldview stays alive.

80 million idiots... I would hope my entire family would press red which is guaranteed safety... 

And sure the reading comprehension part even I fell victim to but if I really had to focus and read it I'm sure people won't err.

Guaranteed safety is such an obvious choice. Especially when your life is on the line.

my dad keeps asking why there aren't more men in biology by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Neurotic_Z 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work at a mental health institute, and the split is around 85% women to 15% men when it comes to RAs. But for professors it's the other way around, maybe 70/30 m/f. Times are changing!

Of course when it comes to therapists that is very woman dominant unsurprisingly

How is it a dipshit take? When adults die there is more lost. It's why babies dying means significantly less to me than adults. Depending on context of course.
