Hey so the trolley problem is dumb because the real person at fault for any of the deaths is the person who designed the trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who put in the purchase order for a trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who approved a PO for a trolley without an emergency braking system, the people who delivered a trolley without an emergency braking system, the organization that inspected and certified a trolley without an emergency braking system,and the operator who did not make a huge stink about being assigned to a trolley without an emergency braking system.
Whether you pull the lever is irrelevant, because a whoooole mess of people fucked up for you to be in that hypothetical situation.
Seriously, like, as a professional engineer, I find the premise of the trolley problem offensive. Cause like, so many safety regulations have been violated that it’s just… insane.
“But, Cody, what if there was an emergency braking system, and it failed?”
Failure to perform regular maintenance and inspection. So, it’s still someone else’s fault.
“What if maintenance and inspections were done correctly, and it still failed?”
Some engineer somewhere failed to design a failsafe with the necessary redundancies. Again, it’s someone else’s fault.
“What about sabotage?”
The saboteur is obviously to blame.
“What if it’s just a freak accident?”
Once again there’s that engineer failing to place redundancies.
“What if it was just an act of God, and the engineer and everyone else did everything right?”
Then God is to blame. Duh. Not sure why this is so hard to get.
Any accident investigator will tell you that an accident is caused by a chain of incidents, and there were always several places the disaster could have been stopped.
Trolley problems are just philosophers being cruel to their audiences.
I would look at whoever is tying people to trolley tracks. That might be the issue right there.
Maybe the real trolley problem was the OSHA violations we made along the way.
Not to be a bitter Jew but I’m thinking back to all those years when I was in college far away from my family and couldn’t go home for Rosh Hashanah or Passover because I had class right before and after. Meanwhile people can’t or won’t skip Thanksgiving this year even though there’s a pandemic. Astonishing tbh
I’m not even going to lie, up until this instant I thought something was wrong with me (maybe that i was the ‘ugly kind of fat’?) because I didn’t think plus sized models were retouched so much. I know that sounds stupid, but I have never considered the reality that even the models of fat women are heavily doctored.
Same shit, different numbers.
Hey look it’s my catsuit!
not only are plus size models heavily retouched, but they also have to wear padding to make their curves curvier so that we hate ourselves for not having exaggerated curves on our beautiful lumpy bodies.
This is super important and belongs on my fashion blog. Don’t you ever feel ashamed, because your fat doesn’t look like the model fat! It’s the fashion industries fault for not being able to dress actual people!
The only way I see this as potentially a helpful thing, is for people who medically can’t tolerate a mask—breathing problems or mental health issues—but who are shamed into wearing one anyway by people who don’t care.
Absolutely shut the fuck up you moron
As someone who does genuinely struggle to breath in a mask sometimes, depending on how bad my lungs are playing up: STAY HOME. if your lungs are too shit to wear a mask, your lungs are too shit for you to survive COVID.
And mental health issues do not excuse putting others at risk.
If you describe your situation as “being shamed into wearing a mask” you 100% have way bigger issues than the mask itself
As someone that has asthma and recently had to go to the hospital for it, if you use the excuse of “I can’t breathe with a mask” I will personally sew a mask onto your face with a needle and thread.
If you cannot wear a mask then stay home. Period.
My mom has claustrophobia and can’t stand wearing a mask. Guess what she does? Stays the fuck home. Not that hard.
