I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out?

  • you’re generally safer in the air than in a car, statistically speaking

    Yes, very much so. The airplane is the second safest means of transportation.

  • It depends very much on the height.

    If we assume a jet flight at around 30.000 feet:

    The cabin pressure goes down immediately, that means, a very strong wind goes out of this open window. Several eardrums burst. (Stupid people panic and cry). Afterwards people cannot breathe normally because of the low pressure.. They need these air masks.

    Then the pilot descends immediately to something like 5.000 feet - I don't know exactly - where everybody can breathe normally again.

    And then you land at the next airport.

    Let me guess: it was less than 30 stabs that they found in his back?

  • No I do not mow my lawn then.

  • I do not. I'm just asking if there are more people with disabilities, or more stupid people?

    • You have been randomly selected to become the leader of the world, but if you do not maintain more than 50% approval rating, you immediately die. How do you survive?

  • I see. Yes, that is one of the countries with many uneducated people.

    Jump

  • But then if the actual voters don't like you you die.

    No different than before.

    The whole thing becomes a lot more volatile.

    In my opinion it becomes a lot less volatile, because a smaller & less diverse group is easier to convince.

    Jump

  • You must maintain 50% + 1 vote of "Approve", exactly 50% Approve / 50% Disapprove still means death for you. "Abstain" is not a vote means it isn't counted.

    All the world's population is super diverse. Hard to convince them.

    So my strategy is to maximise the Abstain voters, and then it's only a small group of actual voters that I need to convince for my actual ideas.

    I manipulate people into believing that all this voting is something super special and complex and first you need to understand lots of things about the whole world before you will be able to make correct decisons etc. This is going to work because most of the world's population is rather uneducated, so they would feel quite inferior and always vote Abstain.

    • Since removed comments can still be read in the modlogs, isn't removing comments useless?

    Jump

  • So what's the point? Modlogs, while providing transparency, seems counterproductive.

    Yes, transparency is the point. A mod's actions should always be verifiable.

    When they don't write things into the modlog, their usual excuse is 'too much to do', but there might be another explanation, too.

    • what was your biggest, "it was at this moment he knew ... he fucked up" moment?

  • Curious: how can you even know (or guess) what height is doable?
