Having the codes inside a dude just makes that dude a security liability because someone else can kill that dude too and then what, do you surgically implant another dude or are there backups? At what point does the president say "too many dudes are being killed, doctor, give me the code" Like who authorizes the doctor that's tattooing these codes anyway? Just loving abscond with his surgical USB drives, wala

I could imagine security through obscurity where there are like three different dudes on the president's body detail over the course of a week that are all "murder to nuke" flagged but our current president would absolutely out them on national TV/Twitter

They couldn't include that because Fox still owned Deadpool See, Thanos tried to impress Death, but She found Deadpool to be more interesting. So Thanos somehow cursed Deadpool to never die?

Ytlaya posted:Ah sorry I was confusing Titan with Gamora's home planet. I think that's the one Thanos said became healthy and good after he killed half the people (though admittedly you kinda have to take him at his word on that). This might have already been covered in-thread but according to the Plenty of fan-theories around as to why but it's more likely an oversight.

It's just rationalization, of course, since there are many gods to choose from and it might be worse to choose the wrong one than to abstain. Hardly anyone considers Pascal's Wager 3D

Civilized Fishbot posted:Diderot pointed this out, but I don't know of any religions other than (some forms of) Christianity that specifically stipulate that all non-believers go to hell. Obviously Zeus and Allah and Ahura Mazda would prefer you believed in them and played by their rules, but those faiths don't have ironclad rules that all-nonbelievers go to hell. what if the texts weren't clear about that part because it wouldn't be a fair choice if you were pressured? what if believing in the wrong god makes your heart heavier than a feather regardless of your morality?

Civilized Fishbot posted:Then, of course, you're hosed. To be clear, Pascal was a mathematician and philosopher, not a priest - he wasn't trying to actually get people to believe in God, he was using a radical example to both introduce and undermine a new way to think about how we make choices. He was aware that this is a strange, silly way to think about belief - that's the point "What if God is in a box and may or may not be dead when you observe It" is a bit hilarious

quote:The real problem with our time's capitalism right now is oligarchy. Oligarchs influence governments around the world to hinder the growth of those protections. And as I personally see it, there's a 50/50 chance it may become worse, or less severe in the next 100 years.

They're right, I can't think of any hostile pieces about Trump, the Kochs, or the Bushes whatsoever! Never heard of this Icahn guy though "In February 2018, Icahn avoided a $6 million loss by selling down his holdings in a steel-price sensitive stock just days before the Trump administration announced a new 25% tariff to be imposed on steel imports." Ah, there it is. That $6 million loss would have represented about a 0.036% drop in his net worth from the year before. stringless has issued a correction as of 08:40 on Jan 7, 2020 |
