Being on a plane can be rather boring and I didn’t have a good movie to watch, so my mind started to wander. Then I remembered that thread with @icedquinn and @realcaseyrollins (and maybe others, I don’t remember) where they discussed someone comparing dying from C00F to picking poisoned skittles out of a bag :comfythinkglare:

I know this metaphor is entirely incorrect for a great plethora of reasons, yet my brain came up with a bit related but different thought experiment :comfyeyes:

Imagine for a second, that after a scientific breakthrough the cure for aging was discovered. You are presented with a pill. If you take it, there is a 50% chance you stop aging and remain at your current condition, quite possibly for eternity. Accidents and diseases can still kill you, but other than that, you’re in for a long long ride.
The catch is, in the other 50% you die that instance and shit your pants in the process (just for lulz :comfyxdsweat:)

Would you take this pill? Disregard the possibility of more breakthroughs that can decrease this little negative side effect. You have to make this choice here and now.

While at this, what would be the maximum acceptable for you risk of instant death in a thought experiment like this? If you say zero, you are a pussy.

As always with fun stuff like this, boosting is welcome :comfythumbsup:

Conservatives always manage to pull defeat from the jaws of victory.

@LukeAlmighty It's trending between 5% and 10%.

If Biden's spending bills pass, it will push that number closer to 10% since it will all be funded by printed money.

I am starting to strongly consider an instance block...

And no, sinblur nor spinsters don't deserve it. Poa.st on the other hand is a different kind of a shithole...

@LukeAlmighty that falls under the “I’m gay lol”. Sorry, forgot to include it.

Byl jsem konečně u holiče. Namísto obvyklých 150 Kč mne čekala částka 220 Kč. (A k tomu prý zdražujou jekly, píší novinky, o 150%.)

Dle jakého spotřebitelského koše vypočítává ČSÚ inflaci 3%?
