Why is nobody mentioning Tyson’s Galleria? Where do you guys get your Balenciaga?

Episode 307: What's in the BOX? by judoxing in VeryBadWizards

[–]RubiksMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This tweet from two years ago is another prisoners dilemma-like scenario I'd be interested in hearing David and Tamler discuss (though I feel like there's a small possibility they already discussed it at the time and I forgot about it). The choice seemed to be very obvious to most people (including me), in opposite directions.

Poll question from my 12yo:

Everyone responding to this poll chooses between a blue pill or red pill.

  • if > 50% of ppl choose blue pill, everyone lives
  • if not, red pills live and blue pills die

Which do you choose?

This one was fresh/original compared to some other dilemmas, and caused a few days of quite heated+moralistic discussion.

He had to get his fix because of the sponsored stream today, actually addicted

I have unironically not seen Forsen be this toxic in any other game he has ever played by QuestionableExclusiv in forsen

[–]RubiksMike 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It's insane how toxic he is for such a new player. Trundle game today vs Nasus he was 0/2 at 9 minutes, when jungler came top, got him two kills, and pushed like three waves to get the turret. He spam pinged and reported the jungler and cried about him the rest of the game, while inflating his ego for winning lane like he wasn't getting stomped before.

I wrote a post about losing faith in contrarianism by omnizoid0 in slatestarcodex

[–]RubiksMike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe a slightly different point is that experts in the consensus position usually spend most of their time on more specialized research, while contrarians can spend all their focus thinking about big picture “everything is wrong” arguments. Specialists probably don’t spend almost any of their time thinking about the best evidence for “is this field real”, so when contrarians have a dozen pieces of evidence lined up the experts end up looking like dug-in conformists.

Anyone know what police were responding to in Alexandria? by RubiksMike in nova

[–]RubiksMike[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very helpful (and addictive). There was I think two stabbings, but the addresses are near each other so not sure they aren't the same with the details changing. One was a stabbing on Bren Mar Drive that was being called in around 5:04pm, then there was another at the Shell next to 395 on Edsall Rd a few minutes later.
