The reality is this is an absurd proposition (absurd in the philosophical sense). Trollies have safety features and if you understand engineering, you understand that things are designed to fail safely.

If something were to cause the trolley to hit anyone, that’s a freak accident caused by a casaced of decisions that were made before you had the option to pull the lever. No one would hold you accountable for your decision, and the reality is the choice you make doesn’t matter. Just go to therapy afterwards please.

Explore more ridiculous trolley questions here.

One more thing, another version of the trolley question is this:

Suppose six people are in a coma. One person will recover without intervention. Five will die unless they all receive organ transplants from the person that would otherwise survive. Do you intervene, killing one person to saving save five, or standby, watching five die while one survives.

Forgive an ignorant question, but why?

That game has some of the best quotes:

“They try to put their stake in everything they see. Nobody’s dick’s that long. Not even Long Dick Johnson, and he had a fucking long dick. Thus, the name.”

“They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.”

I program for ships (the water kind) and buddy, you ain’t seen nothin’. I’m talking server infrastructure from 1991. Spaghetti code from the 80’s. I had a program that had to run on a dos box, and we had to replace the whole thing because the original developer fucking DIED and no one could read his shit.

Payday loans already do this.

I guess we all “teleport” to Waffle House from time to time.

Haha yeah you guys sure did a good job at standing up to those brexit blokes!

Edit: Forgot to mention the Germans and French throwing soup at paintings. Wherever will us yanks find such creativity.

Or, we could stop believing this online bullshiteant to divide the movements and stop judging each other based on our worst examples.

Or, yah know, you’re prude.

Well if you wanted them you shouldn’t have given them away!

That’s not true. It sounds like you’re confusing nicotine with caffeine. Nicotine is often credited with “taking the edge off” when in reality, that “edge” is a result of nicotine withdrawal.

Caffeine blocks the receptors that react to a chemical the body releases when it’s tired. You’re right that it doesn’t give you more energy, but it does stop you from feeling by tired.

Out of all the common legal drugs (nicotine, alcohol, THC) caffeine actually provides some of the best benefits with least intrusive drawbacks.

Idk man indoor plumbing is pretty neat.

Same! Here’s the video for anyone wanting to relive it.

If anyone is interested, there’s a phenomenal season of blow back that covers the Vietnam war.

MY hero!

I interpreted it more like saying the first place people learn to code, especially if you’re not self taught, is in a text editor like vim or emacs.

Cycles of violence.

Yeah OP should say “1 therapist is useless”.

The “strongest military in the world” couldn’t even handle a single war in the middle east. How are we supposed to win multiple wars with multiple fronts in multiple countries against much stronger militaries with many more allies? It’s pure hubris.

RELEASE THE DIRECTORS CUT!!

It works much better in crowded areas, too. The more people that see you doing it, the better!
