  • Here you go, gen z* version:

    So, this one time, Jesus was walking through the village again, right? A kid ran up and accidentally bumped into him, like full-on shoulder check. Jesus was not having it and straight-up said, “You’re not gonna make it to wherever you’re headed.” Boom, the kid dropped dead. People who saw it were like, “Yo, who even is this kid? Everything he says actually happens!”

    The dead kid’s parents came for Joseph, all mad, saying, “Bruh, you can’t stay in this village if your kid’s out here cursing people and getting them killed. Like, teach him to chill and bless people or something!”

    So Joseph pulled Jesus aside, like, “Hey dude, why are you doing this? People are mad at us, and they’re gonna come for us!” But Jesus was like, “I know you didn’t come up with that yourself, but fine, I’ll let it slide for you. Still, these people? They’re gonna get what’s coming to them.” And just like that, the people accusing him went blind.















  • Desktop has both Mint and Bazzite. I use both daily.

    Mint can’t natively control my display or sound, and it has had issues with internet and the Nvidia graphics card before.

    Bazzite can natively control display and sound, and I haven’t had to use the CLI even once.

    New Lenovo Laptop I tried both too. The mousepad and fn shortcuts for brightness and sound didn’t work on Mint. Fedora mousepad works perfectly and fn shortcuts work

    Old 8 year HP 4gb ddr4 laptop neither worked well, so went with a lightweight distro that was debian based.

    Old 12 year HP 16gb ddr3 laptop; mint gave internet LAN issues and DVD drive issues, keyboard shortcut for brightness issues. Fedora XFCE no issues.

    Friend’s 4 year old Asus laptop; Mint gave issues with WiFi, Nvidia graphics card, and controlling screen brightness. Fedora no issues.

    Another friend had similar issues with their laptop on Mint but said no issues on Zorin btw, and Zorin also worked better on their mom’s old desktop. Both are debian based interestingly enough, but Zorin is sort of paid so makes some sense I guess?..

    This is all anecdotal of course, but at least based on what I’ve seen, Mint has never been as beginner friendly as it seems compared to Fedora in that it usually requires more tinkering. You even see that here with the pro mint comments suggesting some use of a CLI.


  • You could do 10-40 people. The trolley problem isn’t about it being specifically 1-3 people.

    So, instead of a runaway trolley, what if the villain themselves was inside driving it towards either 10 people or 30 people? Of course with a team helping them execute this thing. Wouldn’t it be easier if someone was driving the trolley instead of it being empty?

    Essentially what you’re suggesting at that point, is a terrorist attack

    Well duh, but the trolley problem was never about the ethics of who orchestrated the attack, but rather whoever made it on time to the track switch. Apathy still shows something.

    That said, you’d be a great consult of DC ever wanted to make a Batman comic in which the Joker executes the plans for a Trolley Problem, as it’s definitely something he’d do to Batman. He’d definitely be the time to research trolleys, has a gang to help him do what you said, and would have no qualms driving the trolley himself. Plus could easily take place in the 60s to 80s.
