While low risk, I think index investing still counts as gambling. The house maybe too.

Depreciating investments like a car should be ok though.

And it was always clearly stated as such. It’s absurd that anyone was upset by this. I have yet to find a single user on here who did not properly understand what it was for, or at least none willing admit to being that dumb.

I take a 2min pause of silence over 30 seconds of ads any day.

Thanks, I was finally able to make my colourblind brain see it.

Is this one of those things that colourblind people see right through? Because I just see a lady sitting in her vehicle with legs a similar colour to the seat. What am I missing here?

She matched with you because she wants to fuck. Ask her out bruh.

Certainly seems like a better idea than drinking dihydrogen monoxide… Monoxide means it only has one oxygen. That sounds dangerous and I hope people drinking it manage to get enough oxygen somehow.

Source?

From what I understand, it’s unknown if coconuts kill more people per year than sharks as death by coconut are not well tracked. But the specific number quoted of 150 isn’t legitimate. However, I can’t find anything about it being related at all to an experiment to see how far a lie could go though. Did someone tell you this? Definitely a possibility of some irony here…

Lol yep, any child who has played monopoly a few times can see how capitalism works. It always ends in one person having literally all the property and money… and generally with players quite upset at one another. And once all players have optimized the game, it simply becomes a game of luck.

Ripping up an image never makes anyone a bad person, religious figure or not.

Sure, I may prefer the tearing sound that images of Mohammed being ripped apart make… But that’s just subjective personal preference. Doesn’t mean people tearing up an image of the Virgin Mary are bad people. The important thing is neither does anything real to cause harm to anyone at all.

A good while back we had no working model for a heliocentric solar system nor any solid indication of it…until we did. But I’m pretty sure the earth was going around the sun even before we realized it, and even before we existed at all.

A Brief History of Time was great! I’d also definitely recommend it to all.

The same way we assure people consenting to anything at all are not being forced to. We try our best basically. And sometimes we’ll probably get it wrong and need to improve. I’m completely ok with that when the alternative is guaranteed preventable suffering. Just like I’m ok with people using power of attorney to protect the finances of people with dementia, even if sometimes it gets misapplied.

We don’t need to know for it to be deterministic.

I’m confident you strongly support allowing it as I have never met someone who witnessed a loved one suffer like that and does not support lessening their suffering.

So since you support allowing people to end their own lives in that context, you understand that people can indeed consent to death. So perhaps consenting to death should be permitted in other contexts too. That’s the only point I was making.

you can sign a contract to allow me to bludgeon you to death, but it’s still murder regardless of your consent

I agree this is the current law. But I certainly don’t agree with this law. Do you?

I feel people should absolutely be allowed to consent to death, or potential death. And I mean, we already can in various other contexts like skiing in avalanche terrain, ordering too many big macs, or medically assisted suicide to prevent suffering from incurable conditions (at least in a few civilized places).

Sounds to me like we lack the understanding as to why there are different outcomes in what we perceive as identical circumstances.

A dice roll appears random too, but it isn’t if one understands all of the inputs and variables precisely.

Nope, not really. But even if we did have 2 completely different solved sets of physical rules for minuscule quantum stuff versus everything else, all events would still be casual. It wouldn’t change anything.
