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

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.

blackstampede,

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.

blackstampede,

I don’t think so.

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

You know the type, probably a good father or worker, but serious faced all the time, never smiles, often in a bad mood, very cynical. It’s just I feel like I’m on the path to this, I’m 28, just escaped 12 years of food service so I’m already super cynical and if someone comes up to me, I’m super ready to shut down...

blackstampede,
  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.

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

blackstampede,

12% lol

blackstampede,

Sounds like it lol

blackstampede,

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

blackstampede,

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.

blackstampede,

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.

blackstampede,

Can’t make an omelet without killing a few lions.

blackstampede,

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

blackstampede,

I see you, man

blackstampede,

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.

blackstampede,

Yep. That’s definitely worse.

blackstampede,

I appreciate the IT crowd reference.
