She’d glitch out of reality if the posts get more than 10upvotes

#NoWitnesses

Unfortunately the witnesses ALSO want to make social demands of you when they see you doing nothing to save those people, so there's no winning here

Oof. This is a hard one.

"I'm sorry I thought the lever would kill you all." Done

Can I stop the trolley Omniman-style?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (3 children)

you can refuse to shake hands and do smalltalk and they would still be thankful

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

you can refuse

I'm sorry, my ingrained urge to be polite is greater than my urge to avoid human contact, which, in turn, is greater than my urge to live.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

So pull the lever and throw yourself on the wheels before they stop?

You're not going far enough. Those tracks are embedded in the road surface, there is nothing physically holding them in place. Kick them in the ribs and tell them to get the fuck up and stop interrupting the tram service.

Refusing would also be talking to someone...

Question: would their souls haunt you for the rest of your days if you did not? :-P

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Nah. Im not the one that tied them there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but there would be no handshakes involved

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

That's all I needed to kn... hey wait, is this because I said "for the rest of your days"? How long will the haunting last, that is what we NEED to know, to make an informed decision!? :-P

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Smalltalk!? Let nature take its course

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Sorry, nothing I can do about the situation. I'm just going to go over here now.

There was a plane that crashed because the pilot sitting in the leading chair kept holding the plane in a stall as he was frozen in fear.

I mean... It would increase the CO2 amount i was indirectly responsible for. There is no logical reason to rescue them all. Only "emotional" reasons.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Refusing to look at any effect except climate effects doesn't sound very "logical" to me.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Its also more resource efficient in general... Tell me the downsides of non interference in this situation.

Sorry, I don't have the qualifications to tell you "mass murder isn't a good thing," But you'll be happy to know that there are people trained in this sort of thing that you can talk to.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Its not mass murder. Its just ignoring an accident. Very different

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There's no moral difference between refusing to save a life (at least when you can do so without putting your own life in danger) and actively killing someone.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

No thats wrong. If you think so thats your opinion but in reality its a big difference.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

and how much co2 does the trolley use, exactly?

perhaps one of these ppl will shut down a coal factory in the future and offset all of their emissions massively.

also, why do u care so much for their co2 emissions if life has only "emotional" importance to u?
