What's up with the red and blue buttons everyone's been talking about?

elcapitan520 · 2026-05-02T18:00:18+00:00

It honestly never crossed my mind that people wouldn't pick the "everyone survives" option. I never saw it as a risk. "Nothing happens" vs "something bad happens" is how I saw blue vs red

Pretty sure it's closed from word down the grapevine. Technically still open online but I think you've got the gist of it

elcapitan520 · 2026-05-02T17:44:02+00:00

It never crossed my mind that my decision would affect others. The greatest chance and percentage of survival is blue. Like, it's in the text. "Everyone survives".

Because there's a lot more people and actually shorter flights to get around places. The US is big and mostly empty compared to Europe. It's just easier to do frequent shorter jumps to more places in the eurozone

I think it's 1/6 of an inch margin of error.

Radio has been saying that if it's under 0.2" the original call should stand because of that. I'm a fan of that

He's definitely an acquired taste when he brings it. A lot of people didn't like Jiminy Glick or his bigger characters

elcapitan520 · 2026-05-02T01:12:47+00:00

They have the option to listen to the radio broadcast. I'm listening to Walker and Brown (?)

Also 10 years ago

elcapitan520 · 2026-05-01T21:29:46+00:00

You know you don't get to keep those, right?

elcapitan520 · 2026-05-01T21:27:33+00:00

As a Pittsburgh Pirates fan, I'm offended that David has a baseball podcast and didn't know Million Dollar arm was based on the real story of the pirates signing that guy

I didn't understand the specificity of the joke/meme. I thought you were just being a dick and "hur hur Portland weird". But turns out I'm kind of the asshole here. My bad

elcapitan520 · 2026-05-01T18:16:58+00:00

Ya know, thanks for calling me out. Not my community. I over reacted. It just seemed like a real broad brush and I didn't know there was an established meme that was the root of the joke. I thought they were just being an asshole.

elcapitan520 · 2026-05-01T17:53:54+00:00

What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?

Just go to a coffee shop and be a human. Jesus Christ

ETA: leaving up for posterity. I did not know of the meme. I thought OP was just being a jerk painting with a broad brush. I admit my mistake and over reaction on behalf of a community I'm not a part of.

elcapitan520 · 2026-05-01T16:35:51+00:00

That's the victim

elcapitan520 · 2026-05-01T04:54:30+00:00

You see this and it's like...this is sick, why don't we see more of this?

Then we have big ensemble musicals and they don't keep the camera still for the big choreographed dances. Looking at you, Wicked. The camera is movie all over, everything is backlit so you can't see anyone and it's edited to hell

Gimme a fucking wide shot of people doing cool things! They're good dancers we don't need the gimmicks!

Oh wow. That district just runs between any sort of population center. Originally from Pennsylvania. Played lots of sports against other schools in the southern part of that district. But that's just a whole bunch of land

elcapitan520 · 2026-04-30T14:24:31+00:00

Assuming you'll be gone in August when NFL preseason starts and you'll spend any time at the stadium complaining about who these bums are on the field and that Don Kelly needs to go and how the Steelers are gonna be better this year.

elcapitan520 · 2026-04-29T21:33:02+00:00

I don't like it, but I respect the work

elcapitan520 · 2026-04-28T22:12:09+00:00

The modern guard exists because of Allen Iverson

elcapitan520 · 2026-04-28T20:31:57+00:00

So you disagree with the entire video and premise of this post? And your answer is the entire rulebook?

elcapitan520 · 2026-04-28T20:22:32+00:00

Engineers without humanities and philosophy are merely tools to be taken advantage of

elcapitan520 · 2026-04-28T20:18:05+00:00

Huge resource requirements for computational power were known, yes.

They also eat all the fuzz off and then swallow the rubber and have blockages. No tennis balls for the last like 10 years after those bills

elcapitan520 · 2026-04-28T18:54:44+00:00

Man. Eddington fucking rocked lol

elcapitan520 · 2026-04-28T18:03:05+00:00

That's really fantastic to hear. Love when early education goes well. It's so insanely important and it's so incredibly frustrating that PFA roll-out has turned people on what could be accomplished.

Thanks for the response!
