No! Half your group doesn't have to die because no one *has* to jump in front of the train!
Why is it an implicit part of picking red? If everyone picked the button that lets you live no one dies!

If you live after pressing red that doesn't come at the cost of someone who pressed blue. They chose to press blue when they could've just pressed red and lived.
Like, a good reframing for me is this: you and a group of other people are standing in front of some train tracks and the train is passing soon, there is no one tied to the tracks or actively at risk of dying, if enough people jump at the same time the train stops and kills no one, if only some people choose to jump they die. Is not jumping here morally equivalent to killing someone?

Also in polls where the answer is framed without that kind of #teamred or #teamblue social dynamics, like, say, changing the red button to simply be "doing nothing" the margins literally *are* 10/90.

Ok first off the polling for this is flawed because, like, obviously everyone's gonna pick blue in a social media poll. If you put a gun to people's head and told them to pick a button that might kill you or a button that won't the results are gonna be like 10/90.
Also, picking red is only risking 50% of the population if I seriously believe 50% of humanity would choose to put their life at risk for literally no reason, which I don't.

The red button blue button hypothetical is the stupidest shit ever, dude. There's a button that kills you and a button that doesn't, if you press the former there's a chance it misfires depending on how other people picked. You are a bad person for picking the latter, for some reason.

Keir Starmer might genuinely be the worst politician alive right now. He's not, like, the "most fascist" but he's certainly the worst at *doing* politics. A thumping majority in parliament, number one in the polls, a party fully consolidated behind him, and for what? He's done nothing with all that other than ruin Labour's chances and sign contracts with Palantir. The fact he survived the Mandelson affair shows he has good political instincts but he's used them exclusively to do, say, and *believe* nothing.
All I'm saying is that if you put Sir Clement Attlee in his place he would've had the country tip-top within months, what a shame.

The fact that this is even an argument is insane. If half of all books were released for free and made their money from hooking readers on gambling and advertising nicotine products we could all agree that's bad, right?

I've unironically become radicalized against f2p games. No game should be released as free to play unless it's explicitly non-commercial, all forms of monetization aside from paying upfront are predatory and degrade the art-form.

Oh, yeah, of course! I download all my comics and books, but I've started reading manga and downloading every chapter as a .cbz when it comes out is kinda finicky.
