  • They don’t care about the quality of television. Writing a story that goes on and on and offers the possibility of several spinoffs is the equivalent of micro-transactions in video games : they make more money that way.

    Capitalism only maximizes money, it doesn’t maximize quality. It eats quality to make more money.





  • If I add in the 85+ to the disney calculations it only makes your case worse (drives the # higher). I left it out to be nice.

    Would you seriously take your family to disney as long as less than 10 people a day died there? Like get your head out of the #s for a second think with your common sense.

    Lets do another really simple one. Imagine a playground near you serving kids 5-14. Are you taking your kids as long as less than 13 kids died there last year? Or are you maybe thinking its unsafe after 1 death? WHY?

    You seriously are not understanding the importance of comparing representative groups and this ‘compare any slice of the country to the entire country 1:1’ method is ludicrous, nothing to do with burning man

    edit: hmm the park example is complicated by the fact we don’t know how many citizens the park servers. Im finding numbers ranging all over, from 2k to 10k to much higher in cities. For this example we can use a city park with 10k annual visitors, so we would expect 1-2 deaths a year at this park and not bat an eye yes? Either way I think you get my point. Good luck
