2·2 days agoPeople can die on the trolley,
Also you’re assuming the collatz conjecture.
How long does it take to get an infinite number of loops in? Well, it’s going at a finite speed, so it must be an infinite amount of time. Maybe you can argue that at the speed of light causes the inside of the trolley to not experience time past that point, but there’s still all the time spent at sub-light speed accelerating. So at least an astronomical amount of time.
And the rules as stated result in an arbitrarily large number of people on the trolley. So these people after a point aren’t being pulled from Earth, they must be being created wholesale. And then living a life out on the trolley, unless they exit.
So the choices are really 1. Kill 5 people or 2. Create an unknown but large number of people that will live out some sort of lives on the trolley, or get shunted out into the real world, and some smaller but still large number of people that will die prematurely.
I think life is worth living, so I prefer 2
Not every men’s group is a shitty stereotype.
determine the relative “okayness” in an individual case
Well, yeah?
OP asked the question in general terms, I answered in general terms. With more specific information you can make a more specific judgement. That’s why I said “stereotype, not rule” and separated is vs ought?
I don’t need to list out every possible reason someone might want a gendered group to show that there is a valid reason. Instead just give one. In fact I avoided talking about domestic abuse shelters exactly to avoid this sort of ‘whataboutism’.
As ~always with gender and politics, there’s a pretty big gap between what is and what ought.
What is: The people who make and seek out men-only groups have a stereotype of being shitty, sexist people. The stereotypes around women-only groups are a lot weaker and less negative. These stereotypes are not rules, but do certainly lead to some social stigma.
What ought 1: In a better world gender-specific groups might exist for people to find support and connection around their gendered experiences. There’s some experiences that aren’t commonly shared across genders and it can be a lot easier and safer to share with people who you know also have that experience.
What ought 2: In a still better world there wouldn’t be a significant desire for such groups because we are all sensitive and caring enough that such a group doesn’t make sharing meaningfully easier or safer, because it’s already easy and safe.
Y u put hair in your meme??

Boycott this, and walk that route anyways.
The equals aren’t part of the emails actually, they’re from bad decoding (probably by the govt) https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2026/02/02/whats-up-with-all-those-equals-signs-anyway/
151·13 days agoBe careful to make sure that it doesn’t spoil faster in water. And that it doesn’t settle
2·13 days agoYes. Haven’t even had any really bad scrapes or anything.
Some odd I pass out from blood loss (like everyone). Or pain. Also I’m gonna have even more wicked scars on the sides of my fingers. But like, no broken bones and no major trauma is just really survivable.
4·14 days agoCritics say this needs more testing - cool sure let’s make that happen! I don’t think its wrong to publish data from 1 or 2 people, so long as you don’t present that data as definitive.
This exactly. Widow was hard because I was trying to bull my way through bell spam. Last judge was hard because it’s where I learned how to properly fight Silksong bosses.
Monty Python has a skit about this.
Is rtings a good, reliable review site nowadays? I used to trust them, but it’s a lot harder to trust any reviews/recommendations nowadays
