What is a product you'll pay a little more for?

    • What is a product you'll pay a little more for?

    Jump

  • Boots. I bought a pair of good leather boots after trying multiple cheaper brands- 4 years and they're still going strong.

    • Recursion

    Jump

  • I don't think so.

    • Recursion

    Jump

  • Oh yeah. I was assuming an infinite series (somehow). Also, odds are good that out of 34 people, one of them would misunderstand the rules or be crazy enough to do it anyway for various reasons. I'd probably still do it.

  • I'd pull the lever to kill one person immediately. Assuming the decision maker at each stage is a different person with different opinions on moral, ethical, religious, and logical questions, then it's a near certainty that someone is going to pull the lever to kill the people at their stage. If you're lucky, it's the very next guy. If you're not, it's the guy killing a million people a couple of iterations later. If I'm the first guy, I'll take the moral hit to save the larger number of people.

    • How do I avoid becoming a crotchety old man? I’m seriously asking.

    1. Commit to the bit. If you're deadpan, see if you can keep elaborating on a joke without cracking a smile until it's so damn silly you've got to laugh. People like it, and it's an easy transition to make for people who have a serious-seeming sense of humor.
    2. Consciously remind yourself that everyone tends to assume that mistakes are caused by inherent properties of people, but sometimes there are fuzzy but real reasons why people say and do dumb stuff- bad day, distracted, etc. Try to give people the slack you'd like them to give you when you get wound up on some dumbass opinion.

    • My face when someone says it's time for obscure Star Wars memes

    Jump

  • Man, I totally forgot about this story. That takes me waaaaay back.

    • Best Movies of 2023 (So Far)

    Jump

  • That's just all the movies, man lol I second They Cloned Tyrone- it was excellent.

    • Does anybody else look forward to aging?

    Jump

  • I have heard the same from a number of people, and no offense, but I don't believe you. When faced with personal annihilation, most people (including myself) quickly discover that they desperately want to avoid death.

    • Does anybody else look forward to aging?

    Jump

  • No. I don't want to die, and I think the discussion of age as a purely aesthetic feature is a distraction from the basic truth that it kills you.

    • Who is the one movie/comic supervillian you all agree with ?

    Jump

  • Can't make an omelet without killing a few lions.

    • What would be an eleventy-first birthday in dog years?

    Jump

  • What makes this great is that the color scheme is almost exactly the same.

    • Blue or red door?

    Jump

  • This guy time travels. That's what I was thinking too - just stick dates and a few race outcomes would easily translate to more than 10mil.

    • Bloke Builds ChatGPT-Powered Smart Glasses That Tell You What To Say On Dates

    Jump

  • I appreciate the IT crowd reference.

    • federation test

    Jump

  • I see you, man

    • What is the dumbest thing sleep deprivation made you do?

    Jump

  • Yep. That's definitely worse.

    • What is the dumbest thing sleep deprivation made you do?

    Jump

  • I hallucinated a werewolf and slammed on the brakes of an 8 ton military vehicle in rural Afghanistan, causing a patrol to go on alert for an attack.
