General Discussion Thread

I find it kind of infuriating when someone doesn't respond to their posts.  (And maybe this was just a bot).

But someone posted on Reddit that they made a One Piece mobile game, using the logo and characters and everything. And they posted it on like 8 subreddits.

The r/gamedev post has hundreds of comments talking about copyright law. And OP isn't acknowledging it.

Maybe just overwhelmed from it getting so much traction.

Big viral discussion about:
- a red pill / button
- a blue pill / button
I've seen it both ways. Either a pill you take or a button you press. 



if more than 50% of people do the blue one, everyone lives. Otherwise, only the red one lives. 


I think the problem is, that the framing is vague. You can have completely different take aways with it. 
- you can envision that red is putting blue in danger
- you can envision that blue is putting themselves in danger

Neither one is wrong with how vague the original framing is.

If I just saw the text, of course i'd pick red. Because it is the only smart one.

But then I saw how many people pick blue, and that really changed my opinion. Voting red becomes a vote to kill them. While voting blue becomes a way to save the idiots from themselves.

It's really interesting imo.


Like say you modify it so that there is a 1% chance your button press gets recorded wrong. Red becomes only 99% safe. Blue becomes 100% safe if the majority press it and 1% safe if the minority press it. With that setup, blue becomes the safer choice if you believe others will also press blue.

Sometimes I struggle that people aren't better to each other. 

Not just the fact that a lot of people are just outright terrible. 

I know it's super weird, but I've personally reached out to complete random people online, who posted about being depressed. 

I keep checking on a friend, who has been struggling. 

And there are a lot of times where I feel like some of the closest people in my life, couldn't be bothered to check on me, when I'm struggling.

You doing ok?

You doing ok?

I'm okay. 

Just had multiple awkward things today, and feeling bad about it. 

And feeling a little down that neither of my coworkers checked in on me.

Wanna talk about it?

And to your original point, I understand that. Like in my optimistic perspective I think a lot of people are just oblivious. They mean well but just honestly don't think about things that seem obvious.
