Yes, when I see posts identical to this it’s usually in the context of “left wing antifa violence is more common than right wing violence.” Which makes me wary enough of this post already.

This actually does a good job of showing why Roko’s Basilisk is stupid. You create the concept by thinking about it much like Lila. You only care about it as an act of faith, no better than believing a vengeful God exists and will banish you to hell if you don’t follow their rules.

Reminds me of the green text of the HR person who throws the top half of the resume pile in the garbage because they don’t want unlucky people working there

If a leaf was broken up into microscopic bits and flung into the air you wouldn’t be able to determine what color it was either. So at best the thing thats missing is that there’s a lot less air.

Also, I’m happy to text asap if we’re planning something. If you’re shooting me texts to small talk, I’m happy to chat, but you have to understand that I’ll probably only start chatting when I’m really free if it’s not important.

Yeah I’ve seen a bunch of these. It’s pretty clear that ID verification is just a drag net to catch the uninformed or stupid people which is going to be like 70% of traffic anyway.

Lol. It’s a fine idea but my first thought was someone going: “Yeah, sometimes I just want to listen to the laughter from a Bill Cosby special.”

I think the issue is we don’t really have a measurement for intelligence. Qualitatively, I think you are more intelligent if you have the reasoning capabilities to logic yourself out of reactionary feelings like racism, but it’s really hard to measure that.

- Comment on Finally an explanation 2 months ago:
My point is not what my line for murdering someone is or how it compares to anyone else’s. My point is that most people have that line, so it’s not very deep to point out that it exists, and all of them will believe that they are still the Good Person and the person they want to murder is the Bad Person as laid out in the OP.
Now the very last sentence is a bit wibbly. I’m sure that many people might not automatically send someone who disagrees with their line into the Bad Person zone, but I’m sure you could construct scenarios similar to the last line that people would end up agreeing with, they just think that their particular line is justified.

I think funnily enough heart attack was meant as a catch-all kind death for people that was the authors first thought to just move past that hurdle. Heart attacks are definitely not the least harmful way to die, well, it depends on the type of heart attack. Certain aneurysms might be more painless. But overall it’s a bit of a hand wave.
- Comment on Finally an explanation 2 months ago:
(almost) Literally everyone inside and outside of social media. Everyone has a line for when they would murder someone, or at the very least think they deserve to die somehow. And almost everyone of those people would think they’re still a good person while wishing death on someone.
The op seems like a clever sort of epiphany about how everyone’s a hypocrite but it’s not that deep.
I think social media allows people to post their first gut reaction faster than they can think. And I think the op is maybe referring to specific online bubbles that will extrapolate “I don’t like dogs” into knowing that that person would be better off dead, but as it is I don’t think this post says much in itself.

It’s crazy that the tragedy of the commons is only a problem because the commons are also free for people to close up and start charging for.

I think twitter also might still give blue check marks to “important” people it’s just available for anyone to buy now

But then the guy wouldn’t have “watched her chug vodka for 5 minutes” he would have watched her take one shot and 4.9 minutes not chugging. I don’t think they mean chugging for 5 minutes straight but I also think it’s silly to pretend like it was a teensy sip of vodka.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Yes, but why are we making fun of a guy for doing what he loves (posting “but what about men?” In a post talking about women)?
(This is a joke btw.)
- Comment on Rough date 2 months ago:
And there’s a difference between “I’ll have a sip of vodka to loosen me up” and “I’ll ‘pound shots’ and ‘chug from the bottle’ for 5 minutes”

Reading this thread I think the conclusion is that both men and women can consider themselves “perverted” but the bounds of what each consider “too extreme” is so different that they both think that the other side is just too kinky/disgusting.

Also these “jokes” come from the long history of women having to marry for status/stability instead of being able to think about their own attraction.

I thought it was a joke. Rephrase it a bit and it would be a funny standup routine. I guess anon should have emphasized that they didn’t support slavery (if they did) but it is a funny concept to ask how they fumbled the bag so hard.
