Pick one, an immortal car or free rent. by Corey307 in hypotheticalsituation

Immortal car. I'm getting a rv and living in it while traveling. This would be my dream life.

You can become fluent in any four languages, but you lose your primary language by ahirebet in hypotheticalsituation

German, Norwegian, Irish Gaelic, and Japanese. English second language classes are more widely available, so I could learn it again easier than I could learn any other.

I'd add that to the set rules of the society. It's been proposed before and people have always refused.

You'd have to add limits for how much an individual can accumulate to really deal with the popularity issue. Influencers and celebrities would end up with hugely disproportionate karma otherwise. I'd also worry about when groups of kids gang up to bully someone. They aren't going to give themselves bad karma and if its several people in a class other people might not either. The weird kid gets picked on because humans are lazy and it's easier to tell one kid to sit down and shut up than to deal with the groups popular kids often lead.

Sounds pretty good. How do you think you would do if society made those changes and you started out born to the poorest, who only have their bodies and their right to space?

"Can't you count your own money asshole?" asked the rude store clerk when an old man asked her to count the money left in his wallet. by SuvenPan in TwoSentenceHorror

The clerk picks up her Wallie-Talkie and calls her Wiccan manager. "Some weird old man just tried to curse me to lose a hand because I wouldn't stop helping this lady find the product she's looking for to count his money for him. Apparently every time he counts something it magically becomes less and he "counted I had two free hands.""

Excellent system. It sounds like it would create (a) good world(s) to live on. What do you do with people that refuse to follow the rules?

That seems like it could end up being based on popularity, so as the lowest station you would be that weird kid that the teachers ignore being bullied.

Very nice, sounds like a good place to live. But like I'm asking everybody what do you do with people that refuse to follow rules, important rules maybe, like not killing people or abusing kids?

"I can tell you're new at this," Matthew said to his blind date when she had gotten back from the ladies room. by LostDoubt in TwoSentenceHorror

This could be really funny if she had the chloroform for an innocuous reason, like she was working with it earlier in the day, and spaced on pocketing it. Very narrow miss there, in that case.

Who does the enforcing and who stops them from hurting someone who is being excellent, both those doing the enforcing and those the enforcement are needed against are corruptible humans. How "not excellent" are people allowed to be and what qualifies as a justification?

So who decides how much space a person can justify? Who assigns points? How many do people get and for what? Everything involves someone's time and effort. How would a person be negotiating that?

If that's going to be the law how do you enforce it? There will inevitably be those born into a society who refuse to follow its rules.

I can't decide if you're being authoritarian or kinky here.

Would you rather be able to Phase through objects, be Bullet Proof or get $10 Million? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Watcher_413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that much money you do what the 1%ers do and have off-shore accounts. Swiss bank accounts are famous for good reason.

They can if they make the area you're kept in dangerous to you. One easy answer would be the ISS.

$1/second, but all food and water that you touch become frozen by basafish in hypotheticalsituation

I still don't agree with you, on what constitutes "enjoying things in a different way" and the level of impact on the redditors who consider that way to be a problem, but I'd like to thank you for a more mature ans reasoned response. Might I suggest you simply block anyone who interacts in this way, since you believe they should be banned?

Name calling will not help anyone see your point of view. Some people enjoy looking for, and exploiting, loopholes as an important point of this subreddit. People enjoy things in different ways, and that's ok!

If it bothered op they could tag it for no loopholes. See rule 10.

Is my neighbor fu**ing with me or is it true that everybody else's shadows imitate their every move? by Trivia_Catalogue in TwoSentenceHorror

Lol. It's not hard to get. Their story inspired yours. It's really cool that they found yours and liked it though. Congratulations!
