• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • RIP @Silver Swallow
  • The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

It's a little funny to me how notorious the Trolley Problem has become because a lot of people don't understand the actual question it's asking. And it's all led to stuff like this. On some level I can't help but find it hilarious that this is where we're at.

Trolley Problem is generally misinterpreted as asking if it's better to harm a small number of people in order to save a larger number of people or not, but it's really asking about action vs inaction. The number of people and situation is arbitrary, what really matters is which leaves you feeling less guilty, letting people die or murdering someone to save others? If you stand by and let the disaster play out then you have no culpability for what happened and the only real consequence is you feel guilty you let people die. If you act you're choosing to murder someone so, assuming there would be no legal consequences, you have to live with the fact you actively chose to kill someone even if it was to help others. Which is the lighter weight on your shoulders? There's a little bit more to it based on how the scenario is presented, but that's the core of it as an ethical dilemma.
