UFOs/roswell are (were) real, though, they just aren't aliens. Which is why aliens are further up. Much further up depending on what you believe the aliens are doing.

The version I heard was using the electronic roulette terminals in betting shops, you put like £20 on both red and black, and you're almost guaranteed to win it back and now you have a receipt saying you won the money on the betting machine.

I think it was more for like, if you're just selling small-ish amounts of drugs and want a plausible reason for why you're carrying a fair bit of cash. But not being a drugs haver I don't know the specifics.

The odd thing about the independent sage graph is I thought independent sage was the one that a bunch of scientists set up to bollock the government's sage group for being poo poo and not doing anything.

ultrafilter posted:Anyone who thinks that a donut and a straw have a different number of holes is very confused. I actually rather like the results because it suggests different conceptions of the construction of shapes. Is a donut a disc with a hole in it, or is it a continuous loop? Is a straw a cylinder with a hole in it, or is it a very wide, very small loop? If it does have a hole, is it one continuous hole or does it have a hole at either end that meet in the middle? Is it different on a donut because the distance between the two ends of the possible hole is smaller? Does a cup have a hole in it? Does a coffee cup with the lid on? It's a conceptual question about how you parse what "a hole" is. OwlFancier has a new favorite as of 01:58 on Oct 29, 2020 |

I've never had one with a "staffordshire oatcake" (or even heard of one of those) but scottish brekkies often come with tattie scone which is nice, sort of like flat potato based bread/pancake thing. Hash browns are pretty normal though I think. Not as common as I'd like but not unheard of.

And also no fruit pudding, which automatically means their scottish fry-up is Some loving Bullshit. I just looked that up and apparently I've been making it as a scone substitute for a while now

I think it is predicated on the line "It is also stipulated that the lives of the members of each group are good enough that it is better for them to be alive than for them to not exist." Which, uh, is a big assumption, IMO.

Are we? You can do it consequentially as well. Deontologist/consequentialist seems entirely a matter of whether you update your model based on the results or not.

ikanreed posted:The literal opposite interpretation of the same idea is what led me to think of myself as a deontologist. Namely that consequentialism takes on a fantastically egotistical perspective that you can predict the future, and a good set of life rules to follow should be informed by the kinds of predictable patterns you can foresee. Granted I hate philosophy and apparently have zero grasp of it but I always associate deontology with "these are the rules and if you follow them, regardless of the outcome, you are Doing It Properly and A Good Person" i.e like hardcore religious prescriptivism or whatever. Whereas consequentialism is when you look at the outcome of your actions and if the outcome is consistently poo poo you start to wonder "maybe the rules aren't very good, maybe I'm being a bit of a twat by sticking to them when they don't seem to help any" Necessarily any use of your brain will lead you to trying to formulate methods which you think will achieve particular results, but I always thought deontological ethics was when you placed the emphasis on the rules as they are (for whatever reason, because you thought of them, because they're traditional, because they're god's rules) while consequentialism was when you played the emphasis on the outcomes. I suppose a major difference might be that deontological ethics offers you personal insurance against ethical culpability because as long as you follow the rules you are doing the right thing, whereas consequentialism puts it on you to adjust your working if you can see a suboptimal outcome. It is possible to do the best you can and still commit error and for it to be your fault. OwlFancier has a new favorite as of 22:30 on Dec 17, 2020 |
