Are you claiming that everyone pushing a button set the button and system of killing people up themselves? Because that's the only way they could possibly be held responsible.
It's a hypothetical situation it doesn't need to have been setup by anyone.

tcaz2 posted...
Every person is individually doing something that affects ONLY THEM.
In this scenario, yes kinda.

In the original scenario, definitely not.

The only person doing any kind of killing in these decisions is the mastermind.

The blue psychos from the last topic (plus Lopen) are the only ones trying to blame the reds for deaths, for some reason. (The reason is obvious - it greatly strengthens the virtue of pressing blue.) But this topic makes it clear how insane it is to blame the reds for the deaths even a little bit. And that the blues/skulls aren't at fault either - they just don't understand the situation and made a grave mistake.
I don't know why you keep trying to bring a 'mastermind' into this (actually, I do know why) but that's not actually part of the premise so of course it changes the premise when you add it. You are missing the point just as much as the "I would simply kill the villain who keeps tying people to trolley tracks" people are. Just something to think about.

This is the only time I'm going to respond to you about this until you drop your bizarre and annoying virtue signaling claim; just letting you know in case you start wondering if I blocked you or something.

Not really. It's a matter of perspective which button actually kills people.
If this was your intent you definitely phrased the premise poorly because "If you press the skull button you die" is pretty unambiguous!

NeatoAnAccount posted...
Lots of the red voters were saying that the blue button is the suicide button, and I don't fault them for that perspective even though I disagree.
In the same way one might say that it's suicide to provoke someone pointing a gun at you, yeah.

Again, in the other scenario, people dying is listed under the effects of pushing the red button, so it's pretty unambiguous.

The Lion King (GameGear)

I don't know why I played this over the Genesis version that I also own. Maybe I need to confront the truth, that I have an odd affection for janky handheld games.

It's easy to understand why this game felt so impossible as a kid: it's hard to figure out how to even hurt the enemies since you don't have an obvious attack, the jumping feels very laggy, and it's hard to tell what's foreground and what's background. But once you get used to all that it's pretty simple to just blast through it, the two stampede levels aside.

It's that even if both parties were trying to be as selfish as possible, they can't choose the best option for themselves even if they wanted to. They have to go with a bad option, because the good options have a 0% chance of being picked. So they end up taking the 2 year jail option instead of the categorically better 1 year jail option, since the 1 year jail option effectively does not exist. The numbers are specifically chosen to make cooperation impossible due to risk of betrayal.
yeah this is partly what I was getting at in my previous post. makes it an extremely boring thought experiment to me tbh

No, basic prisoner's dilemma means choosing Betray always gives you the best possible outcome in a single choice situation.
Not really on topic but it's never made sense to me that the prisoner's dilemma is analyzed in this way. Like the classic set-up will outright state that both people are purely self-interested but A) that's unrealistic, B) it makes the "dilemma" simple instead of a dilemma, and C) it just leads to a stupid situation where "awful result for everyone" is presented as somehow the best and logical option.

Some people want to "stick it" to the system and vote for the most disruptive person. But, really, it's just that ppl r dum.

That said, Trump did do a few good things (i.e. negotiating the Afghanistan withdrawal before the Taliban betrayed him and disrupting key partisan institutions in Washington), and much like his most vehement critics refuse to see those, some ppl (the dum 1s) refuse to see how much of an idiot and a pig he is.

I'll probably vote against him in the primary. (I live in Wisconsin, where you don't register for a party. Everyone gets the same two-sided ballot and you can only fill out one side.)

BlueCrystalTear posted...
If Trump had been re-elected, the Taliban wouldn't try that. Biden is weak and they know it. Trump actually ordered a bomb dropped on them when they first thought to violate it.

Oh, you're a terrorist sympathizer. Not worth my time.

BlueCrystalTear posted...
We got Osama though. Forced him into Pakistan, found where he was (admittedly way later than we should've), and killed the bastard.

The good news? The world is safer now without him.

Maybe you're confusing Afghanistan and Iraq? Because Iraq was a mistake, that I won't argue with.

FYI it's 4-5 servings each per day, though I will say lots of people don't have a great sense of what qualifies as a "serving", and just assume it means the same thing as a helping/portion.

I get probably 6ish servings total per day, more if I'm cooking for myself. Also eggplant is delicious and it's a veggie that's actually filling in the same way meat is. Big staple of my diet, and pretty easy to grow too.

Over 30 dead, a major tourist town and arguably center for the economy of the island nearly completely wiped out. Homes gone. Just a completely unprecedented event.

I guess this is just too touchy of a subject for people? I don't know. It is very doom and gloom.
It's crazy. I've been to Lahaina twice, including once pretty recently. It's a great place and it's unbelievable to think this has happened to it.
