• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did Cash for Chritianity become a thing? When even Jesus the son of god wouldn't stand for it in a church? If they preach why don't they practice from the bible?⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome.

  One has a cross in front of him; the other one the Star of David. Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross.

  A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David.

  Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, “My poor fellow, don’t you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren’t going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you’re sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite.”

  The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said: “Moishe, look who’s trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing.”

  It’s more about set theory than the actual numbers.

  Let’s say you have 100 people with everyone tied up across both tracks. Heads on one track and legs on the other. Let’s assume they die if the train touches any part of them, but you still need to choose bet running over heads or legs.

  The best choice is then legs, because there’s a probability of some of them being handicapped and not having legs.

  Guess I was wrong. Maybe it adds up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The real numbers also includes the integers.

  The practical consequence of this example is that the integers die regardless of what you choose.

  However infinitely many people will survive if you choose the first option.

  Humanistic psychology has a way to describe things in very long and broad manners that might sell a lot of books to schools, but contain very little practical information.

  Also, they often use specific terms that can mean one thing in psychology but means something completely different to anyone in any other field, who have not studied the exact psychology book that they’re referencing.

  It’s a lot simpler than described on wikipedia, and you do not have to discuss feelings with your co-workers.

  The point of including your own feelings in the sentence is to turn to the topic away from fruitless chasing of logical arguments where there are none or they are irrelevant. It’s about taking personal ownership of the problem, so that you don’t claim that it is the other persons problem, even if they are the one who needs to do something in order to solve it.

  Everybody loves composite numbers, but I’m missing the point in which this is advantage in the context of time. The only situation I know of where time needs to be divided is in paid work, and in this case it’s always converted to base 10 money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come butthole scratches doesn't get infected with poop bacteria ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that is something I’ve never thought about before and also wish I hadn’t read.

  Anyway, I googled it, and hemorrhoids are actually not necessarily open wounds, and if they are, at least the blood is flowing outwards which might hinder the bacteria from getting into the blood stream. The bacteria from the asshole doesn’t survive well outside the intestines, so there’s a low risk of them crawling back up into an open wound.

  However it does happen, and that could cause blood poisoning, which is potentially lethal if untreated. You’d probably want to treat it though because you’d experience severe fever and other clear signs.

  I’ll achieve this knowledge in the “don’t worry about it” folder.

  Not really. Whether or not a piece of music is boring has very little to do with the time signature.

  It’s more like a framework.

  Perhaps it’s also boring that most paintings are done on rectangular canvases, but I don’t think a painting necessarily gets particularly more interesting by being done on an oddly shaped canvas.

  It’s more of a journalist thing. They take the words out of your mouth to reach their own conclusion fast and deliver an answer that’ll fit inside the allocated screen time.

  I once lost my glasses and used an ordinary drinking glass as a monocle as substitute. It wasn’t perfect, but good enough for me to find my glasses. (This was before cell phones had cameras).

  Having been very near sighted for most of my life, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not really that big of a handicap. It’s mostly an issue for reading things, and even that can be done when putting it close enough.

  I can’t really think of anything in a hypothetical apocalypse where 20/20 vision would be absolutely necessary.
