Well, it'd be that, or some Platinum Games stuff.

Ironically, SMOUGH looks less silly there then he is in the actual game.

Just watched a marathon of an old sitcom called Different Strokes.
Odd thing to be on TV, but it was unexpectedly good!

Watcha talkin' 'bout, Yoinkus?

The trolley problem is a thought experiment in ethics. The general form of the problem is this: There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two options: (1) Do nothing, and the trolley kills the five people on the main track. (2) Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person. Which is the most ethical choice?

The only proper solution to the Trolley Problem.

Well the kid got it right. That way no-one feels left out.

I had a discussion on whether or not robots could give consent.

It got pretty absurd.

[TD1]

Currently, I'd say no.

As the robot has no concept of consent. And because, even if it does refuse or accept a proposition, it's only in so far as it has been programmed - not through an independent balancing of cause and effect or personal preference. You may as well say "can a table give consent if I strap a speaker to it saying 'I accept' whenever it is asked a question?"

Most sentient animals can't give consent. Robots aren't even sentient.

If we had sci-fi human-like/human-imitating robots it might be a concern.

For the thing that puts together your car I think that's a pretty clear "no".

You should probably still avoid putting your dick in it.
