Not the point of the made up story, but I have been to and worked at several factories and I can't imagine a layout that allows pedestrians to see:quote:how the workers toiled hard while the owners of the factory feasted on sushi dipped in their brand of soy sauce with wasabi while watching their workers. All I can picture is a small, outdoor factory right next to the road with a table right up against the fence where the owners eat so that the pedestrians can see the wasabi and the brand of the soy sauce.

Sports leagues have salary caps, profit sharing, and a draft order that favors poor-performing teams. I don't know why people use them as a metaphor for capitalism.

TheKennedys posted:I don't even remember the original version of that joke but it was probably either racist or an Aggie/blonde joke (they are interchangeable) The version that we told when I was a child did not have any named person in it. It was a doctor, the world's smartest man, the pilot, and the kid. Maybe one more person that was their occupation, but no names or races or hair colors. To be clear, we did have terrible blonde jokes and racist jokes, just this wasn't one of them. jjack229 fucked around with this message at 13:20 on Apr 6, 2020 |

Is Blazing Saddles actually considered to have helped kill of Westerns, or is that the joke? I always assumed it's role and impact was the same as Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs and I've never heard anyone say that those killed horror movies or sci-fi movies.

I don't see the similarities between Deadpool and Blazing Saddles. I've only seen the first movie, but it felt like a standard paint-by-numbers superhero movie with more gross out humor and a lot of winking at the audience. I certainly wouldn't call it a deconstruction and take down of the genre.

Medullah posted:I always love the "Crazy how the flu just suddenly went away in 2020, huh?" gotcha that you see on community forums. Yes, crazy how people not going to work when they felt sick, washing their hands more frequently and being considerate of other's health by wearing a mask "suddenly" made the flu go away. I've never understood what their argument is supposed to be. Are they arguing that the seasonal flu is a hoax every single year until 2020 when the people running the hoax forgot to keep it going because they were busy with the COVID hoax?

GrunkleStalin posted:My personal definition which is really completely irrelevant to the conversation is the risk doesn't actually exist it's too nebulous of a concept to actually be paired into an idea. I'm sure it varies in context, but I am in an engineering role that deals with safety, equipment damage, and loss of production and learning that Risk = (Likelihood or Probability) * (Hazard or Consequence) really helped me understand risk analysis specifically in my role, but also in life in general. So often I hear people argue that Risk = Consequence (without stating it that way of course). That is how you end up with insane arguments like a spoon is just as dangerous as a gun because you could kill someone with a spoon or you can still die in a car accident if you are wearing a seatbelt, so it doesn't provide any benefit. As someone else already noted, we perform risk analysis all the time in our daily lives, even if we don't think of it that way. jjack229 fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Jan 19, 2022 |

GrunkleStalin posted:Is the first one, Risk = (Likelihood or Probability) * (Hazard or Consequence) or there actual division occurring? Sorry, I meant it as I've heard both terms used for the same thing. I realize now that that is confusing in an equation. I've also heard people use "hazard" and "consequence" to mean different distinct things in terms of risk, but "likelihood" and "probability" always seem to be interchangeable.

Neito posted:Ah yes, the "Bike helmets cause more fatalities" argument. I get that there's a large chance you're being facetious, but it's an argument that comes up fairly regularly, and is somewhat annoying every time; the safety equivalent of "If you get a raise you'll get bumped into the next tax bracket and *lose* money". Cautionary Tales podcast did a good episode on "Do safety features actually lull us into a false sense of security – tempting us to take greater risks than we otherwise would?" It's been a year and a half since I listened to it, but I believe it came down to where they had data, it showed that some portion of the benefit from safety improvements may be lost due to people being more reckless, but there is still a net gain in safety.
