I'm looking at the game as a whole. The player has a 1 in 8 chance of winning 3 rounds overall.

That was my first thought too. What's this orb pondering business everyone's on about?

Surely there's a difference between an animated movie loosely inspired by a traditional story with original songs, character designs, and dialogue, and remaking that movie beat-for-beat with just a few scenes changed for pandering.

I would argue that the doctrine of Hell introduced in the New Testament is crazier than anything in the Old Testament.

Having skimmed the original paper about the trolley problem, I think what the author was trying to illustrate was the difference between direct and indirect harm.

If you redirect the trolley, you're not trying to kill the man on the other track. You're trying to save the five on the first track by directing the trolley away from them. While the other man may die because of this, there's always the possibility he'll escape on his own.

Whereas if the judge sentences an innocent man to death, that is choosing to kill him. The innocent man MUST die for the outcome the judge intends. So there's culpability that doesn't exist in the trolley scenario.

In one case you're accepting a bad outcome for one person as a side effect, in the other you're pursuing it as a necessary step.

Nah. One of the very few things to the JW's credit, they don't believe in Hell. The worthy will be resurrected on an earth-turned-paradise, where they live as subjects of the 144,000, while the rest simply cease to exist.

Really? I actually found it's gotten less restrictive recently. Maybe it's just because now I've learned to control the context so it doesn't perceive a request as offensive.

Does it work now? I think I forgot to add the instance.

[-] HandwovenConsensus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Sorry about that. I tried to follow the instructions given in the sticky.

I always wondered if they changed it so that the plural isn't pms.
