Junkie accountant is an easy out. I'd need to know more about what planet we're headed to before I get rid of the muscle. I'd also like to know what business the woman who only speaks Cherokee manages.

Are there other people on the other planet or is this it? These 12 are the hope of the human race?

Because if the other planet has 8 billion people on it and there's been regular transport between it and earth for the last 2000 years, which is what you would need to make this scenario remotely reasonable, it's going to change my answers. A LOT.

If it's just these 8 then it's the healthiest and youngest, period. There's no more politics or discrimination if there's 8 people left in the universe.

If the universe is populated with billions of other dipshits then, who the gently caress cares? Draw straws or something.

The actual form or function of the solution is secondary to the price of the solution, That bunker is expensive so it's a good solution

Exclude the armed cop for safety reasons unless he's willing to relinquish the firearm. Let's not be silly here, a gun in a spaceship is just a bad idea.

After that, I need to know if these will be the entirety of humanity or if there's thriving colonies elsewhere.

If they're all that's left, then continuation of the human race is the priority, and that's going to require a moral framework that is appropriate only in emergencies. An outcome where my choices are condemned in history is preferable to one where history does not exist.

But if they're going to a populated planet, then I need to know if the passengers will have access to the initial list. If not, I would ask for volunteers to stay behind first, if there are too many volunteers, I'll draw straws to choose which volunteers stay behind.

If there are not enough volunteers, I'll use a similar random process to choose who gets left behind.

If they are aware of their fellow passengers, I think it'd either be random lots with no opportunity to volunteer, or I'd allow anonymous volunteers to stay behind, and with unanimous anonymous consent allow them to choose people who will be given a guaranteed seat. If everyone wants the orphan to survive, then the orphan doesn't have to draw a straw.

I'm really unsure about it though, because it's a balance between giving the survivors agency, at the risk of giving them a life where they torture themselves with guilt over their choices.

I don't know if there's a clean way to pick that's simultaneously fair and guilt/envy free.

Oh no, I took this way too seriously and wrote a whole thing in the Picture thread :(

Bavaria is often seen as the idealised version of "pure" Germany with a strong traditional culture, but Saxony and former Eastern Germany in general is the real hotbed of German Nazis today, so the map doesn't make much sense imo

I hate all self-identified males (including myself) and also all uni admins and accountants. I would never insult any other genders with these crimes of being me, a uni-type leech, or a finance-type leech, unless they were one of these horrid things.

I genuinely apologize for assuming the gender, which as a gay man, is not great. That was an error. Individuals of many genders can be total pieces of poo poo, and being oblivious to that is a problem from many angles.

The entire country is affected, which is why people are so afraid of them, even though statistically a child is much more likely to be the victim of gun violence outside of school rather than inside of it. People can't process risk very well at that scale.
I'm gonna guess it also has to do with kids getting shot outside of school being poorer and/or minority members. So shootings at school get disproportionate attention.
