The Dominoes Strategy for the Risk Meta Settings!

[@maximumbbq7343]

This last question sure did trigger something in me... I agree with you 100% with the fact that it is an act of kindness to give a better spot for the lady in the wheelchair, not an obligation, BUT because she took a picture and posted it on IG, i don't think she would have deserved the act of kindness, since i have a hard time seeing she would do a similar act of kindness to others. The way she acted when not getting her way tells a lot about her character. But hey, just my opinion :)

[@XXX1NELSON1XXX]

totally agree,normally i would give way. knowing her reaction i wouldn't give way. becouse for me, kindness is given to kind people, not to bad people, im not "*person of religious interest*".

[@roba4139]

That was my exact thought. I could imagine the exchange was not civil either. Personally I would have moved assuming tbeir was a level of politeness.

[@MC-ry5mk]

I’m getting the sense of entitlement as well.

[@cabel000]

My gf is always complaining that she can't see at concerts. She has never expected others to make room for her. It happens fairly often that the people in front of her will notice and make space so she can see between them. She always makes sure to let them know. I'm curious to know the attitude the lady in the wheel chair had. That can make a big difference in how she was treated.

[@scottspafford]

I love how Pete kept asking why red would put so many troops so far from his capital. When all game Pete put some many troops so far away from his capital.

[@FreePete]

Yes but can you detect any difference between what I did and what red did?

[@scottspafford]

@@FreePete 100% You were able to get two bonuses in two turns where you knew no one else had a capital. Red put in a bonus that takes min two turns, in a bonus they saw nothing of. Doesn't mean it's not funny to point out!

[@SneakyMcSniper]

The mortality question at the end to add, the duty is not on the couple, the duty is on the concert venue. Accessibility is on the business and institution. The couple should assist with this if it is not ability however there should be Accessibility options for someone built in by the venue. So 100% agree with your answer, the duty part stuck out to me since that part is on the business and should have been available and a non issue

[@Svennis-y2r]

No, it is not a duty per se for the venue either. In most cases it’s an act of kindness by businesses to accommodate disabled people. Or sometimes it’s literally an act of business to accommodate disabled people. A business selling wheelchairs for example. But does the small bakery have to build a ramp?

[@SneakyMcSniper]

@Svennis-y2r I guess if you don't live in a country that has legal requirements for disabilities lmao. ADA requirements are very strict in the US. Older buildings may not have as strong a code. However any new construction and additions to a building must follow them and I can guarantee you that if this was in the US it was indeed the business duty by law.

[@Svennis-y2r]

@@SneakyMcSniper uhm, this was a philosophical discussion and has nothing to do with ADA requirement and such

[@SneakyMcSniper]

@Svennis-y2r I understood this, however in a society where we can understand where the duty lies, we don't have to beat around the bush? The duty is on the business to make their business accessible so this situation doesn't arise. It doesn't take away from my observation on where the duty falls. When all parties are equal then the wheel chaired person doesn't have to cut in line to feel they able to see. Back to my first point I was simply pointing out the missed duty of the business lol

[@Svennis-y2r]

@@SneakyMcSniper yes, and I didn’t agree. A “business” is ultimately just another person(s). And there is shouldn’t be a duty of any person to accommodate disabled people. Society should and does do this either way.

I was once accosted by a guy in a wheelchair in a mosh pit at Edgefest in Molson Park because he said I pushed a crowd surfer on top of him. I just stared back in utter confusion as to why a there is a guy in a wheelchair was in a mosh pit, and also to why is he blaming only me for a crowd surfer falling on him, but just said "sorry I didn't see you there." 🤷‍♂

[@Imlocke11]

I love your philosophical chats. My sister was disabled before she sadly passed, she was in a wheel chair, and as a carer for her acts of kindness were amazing to see but in no way did she or me expect people to go beyond their daily living just to accommodate. I myself would move for the wheelchair lady, not out of a sense of duty but more as it wouldnt inhibit my vison of the concert. I am 6' 2" so I'm in the way of other people more often than not so it wouldn't be an issue for me. however, the wheelchair ladys reaction just escalates the situation into a conflict and making it public on social media i feel is just out right wrong. the internet can be an awful place and without context can quickly ruin peoples lives. The situation sounds easily manageable with basic communication and does not need to be escalated.

[@Spaghetti_256]

I liked the last question, but I wonder if it is not because of morality that people stood aside to allow the disabled woman to see, but instead cowardice. Most people would be afraid of being admonished for not helping a disabled woman, like how the couple that did not give up their seat got publicly shamed on Instagram for standing their ground. But having established that the moral and pragmatic thing to do is let the disabled woman take their spot, does it matter whether people were motivated by altruism or fear?

[@erik9420]

Love the philosophy! Entitlement is always triggering, but I agree that the pragmatic choice is to go for a win-win scenario.

[@khyber7317]

As someone with a disability, i completely agree. I will say places for disabled people during concerts are often very limited so you might miss it, but if you still want go, make sure you’re on time don't expect people to give up their place. Unfortunately sometimes there are unseen complications due to your disability right before leaving and then you jus have to hope people are kind, if this happened i get why she would be angry the very last row didn’t move. Especially when you know they can see just fine with you in front of them. Though i still don't agree with her actions.

[@TheShizz011]

[@snophund]

The couple is not obligated in any way to give up their place. The person in the wheelchair should arrive earlier if they want to be in front, not just assume that people will let them in front. And hanging them out on social media after is an a hole move.. Would I personally move, yes.

[@sicarius4372]

True, It's the same for shorter people. Venues like this suuuuuuuuck for this reason. There's no elevated areas and all you see is the back of people's head.

[@anoldlady8]

Looking at Reds available cap options, it looks like he decided he wanted to cap in Sevastapol. His options weren't great, but I would have chosen the 2 in France, especially since he saw London didn't have a cap in it. I'm not sure why Red didn't take France turn 1, as he realized he had to have a split position, just a little misplay from him I guess. I also think it was a miss for White allowing you to hold noob corner, since they saw where you capped.

4:03 its crazy how you have vision on basically the entire bottom part of the board, but the only 2 spots you cant see, red capped

[@Midnight.Scythe]

Or not, just realized it isnt there

[@surfermop9]

My opinion on the wheelchair is that i would not give up my place. In every venue I was ther where places for disabled people. Most of the times it is on the site of the Stage infront of the 1 row. By chosing to go in the crowd and not taking the reserved Spot it is first come first stay. The person had the option to see everything. I got a similar experience at a concert from the beginnig our group would make a moshpit at this place. Man people who wantet in came to the place. So this girl came with her Smartphone and starts filming in the middle of the moshpit.

[@tonylee997]

Basically the couple is correct the funny thing is the choice of words it’s a music is the same no matter where you are sitting it’s called music not watching people jump around dancing it’s music so no the couple is correct they got there first and the handicapped person feels like they are owed something

[@erikdcb]

But it's not called music, it's called a live show, or a concert. There is music at these shows and concerts, of course. But there is all sorts of things happening other than just hearing. If i just wanted to hear the music, id buy their live album and sit at home. But no, you want to see the performer perform. I agree, step aside, and let them watch. Perhaps make a friend them too.

[@adamjosey1543]

I park in handicap spaces while handicap people make handicap faces.

[@joshuasimons9887]

In my life as a child, teen and young adult a thing I've been grappling with is giving way too easily. Letting people get in front, being "kind" in a way that is weak and disadvantaging to myself. So if it was me as who ive been most of my life i would let her take my spot. But the me im trying to become? I'm not so sure. I'm trying to get better at standing up for myself, feeling less guilt and shame for existing in a way that doesnt serve others but myself. IDK who brian adams is but presumably if im at a concert then the artist is someone who means a lot to me, and being right up front is something very important and special I may never get to do again. All that said. They said they'd been waiting "an hour", I've waited an hour for a lot less exciting things than a concert, and if you had company to converse with, the time isnt a burden at all. A hour of time standing with your partner is a low investment. If time can be valued by how much you earn per hour, then ive said goodbye to an hours worth of value many times freely and without remorse, I'd probably still give up the spot.

[@sicarius4372]

I also agree with what you said if it was said in that way but I think there could another avenue. The couple could have meant that they've been there for an hour already and were there prepared before everyone so they got the good spot in the concert. Why give up your spot to someone less prepared? It's not so much time wasted but the value of giving up something you've gained through your own effort and someone who didn't put in as much effort getting the same reward. It could be an equity issue. I wouldn't be happy giving up the best seat in the show if I was a fan of that person but would do so if it didn't actually hinder my own experience. At the end of the day, maybe it's the venue at fault for not having a dedicated area for disabled people to be able to sit and watch. Or now that I type this, It could be her fault for not pre-planning if the venue actually had a place for her. The short people would have had just as hard of a time seeing.

"Or their cap is completely disconnected from their open, which is a terrible play don't do that-" -he says, currently taking Iceland while capped in orient

[@FreePete]

I don't recommend playing like me either. I take all sorts of dumb risks these days

[@mediocreRISK]

Does Canada not have similar accommodations laws to the US? Here it's the responsibility of the venue to provide a specific accessible space with proper sightlines. In most places, those are generally choice seats. Curious if it changes things if the woman specifically chose not to use those accommodations. I'd give way in any event, but interesting.

[@emrysmyridden]

Clearly the right path to take in any situation is the one where the most people benefit, with no one loosing. The worst path to take is the one where someone looses and no one gains. Therefore the disabled person is the villain of this story since she chose the lowest path and the couple chose a neutral one.

[@gutenbird]

Pete, I agree about moving over for a disabled person. One thing I noticed is that you said the woman posted an image of the singer online. So, didn’t she actually have sight of the singer? But of course that is just a trivial thing but still. On the other hand, what kind of moron doesn’t move out of the way for someone in a wheelchair?

[@nathanstuller4056]

She posted a picture of the couple and tagged the singer.

[@GroguMudhorn]

Yep gimme that Istanbul cap 🥳

[@mentaldavethefirst]

Why does the venue not provide additional space at the front reserved for wheelchair users?

[@tantalotantalo6241]

The q&a remind me of the difference between equity and equality were the latter implies treating everyone the exact same way (hence not giving up the position) and the former takes into consideration what each one needs, and therefore would advise the couple to let the handicapped person move front. I’d like to live in a world ruled (not necessarily on paper but on society’s behaviour) by the principle of equity. You put it beautifully when you talked about looking for a win-win scenario. For me the moral way to act follows that principle. On the other hand, perhaps missing Bryan Adams’s show was the best that could happen to the handicapped person. Just kidding 😅

[@Rath_9]

Here is an interesting moral dilemma for you that happened to my wife and I several months ago. We were in the security line in an airport. There was a family on the other side who was running late and was at risk of missing their airplane. We arrived early intentionally so had plenty of time. He specifically asked my wife if he could cut even though there was roughly 10-15 people between us and them, we just happened to be on the other side of the bannister. If he had asked me I would have said absolutely not but he appealed to my wife which I was kind of pissed about. Wondering your thoughts on it? What if it was only you he asked to cut. Btw he had a couple young kids with him. To me idc get there early if you don’t want to miss your flight

[@FreePete]

As far as I know most airports have a policy where you can fast track through a lineup like that if you are travelling with children or if you are at risk of missing your flight but I don't know that people know about this. So on the pragmatic level they should have neither been asking you nor your wife. They should have been asking airport staff for help/special consideration in that case

[@awhitehu]

Pete, I wanna enter the morality quandary arena, but I gotta ask this first. What makes these settings “meta”? Does meta mean popular? Mandatory? And now u all are testing different things for the “new meta”. Are yall pulling a rap execs in the 90’s move? LOL

[@Grizzmonster73]

In both cases it it Class vs Entitlement in my opinion. Both chose a type of Entitlement over Class. It is my humble opinion that neither one chose a Classy option and both while not absolutely wrong chose to use an Entitlement as a way to struggle and make everyone there look like a loser to someone. If Both could have acted with Class and we wouldn't have to debate it.
