      A thought experiment is a valid philosophical process though, it’s supposed to be theoretical and for the sake of the argument.
      And here, it’s clearly not a thought experiment, because they’ll definitely go though if they can, he’s just being a racist shitbag using big words to appear smart to his electorate.

        It’s like this shit manager I used to work under.

        who once ambushed me coming into work with “we need to change the schedule” (to some whacky schedule because he didn’t want to hire more people.). he gave me all the five minutes he took to explain the schedule which and then promptly told me that if I had a problem with it, I would be removed from the account that this was coming from “the client” (contract security. For reference the security desk was five feet from the property manager… who, uh, was at her desk looking like she wanted to call his shit on things.)

        told him I needed time to thing about it- which he insisted he needed to know ‘immediately’. so I told him I had to go get my normal stuff rolling and called his boss on the way over informing him I’d need to find a new account.

        “what are you talking about?”

        “Shtibag manager just pitched this whacky ass schedule that I can’t work. said if I didn’t like it I would be terminated. So I’m asking for a new account effective immediately.”

        You’d be surprised how quickly that manager changed his tune to “Bro I was just floating the IDEA!” The thing was, this manager was a lying sack of shit and everyone under him was recording their conversations with him. Because he’s been pulling this shit with everyone.

        this guy was the kind of manager who measured a manager’s worth by their ability to fuck over their underlings. he was also a racist, sexist shit

      Depends. Schrödinger’s cat is a famous thought experiment and so are various other fun theoretical science bits like the multiple “paradoxes” in general relativity (twins, ladder, rocket string…). (Obligatory mention that Schrödinger would deserve a beating but because he was a pedophile)

        That girl was simultaneously of age and underage. It’s everyone else’s fault for observing her.

      pretty sure that’s not so much what he said, so much as his face.

      he has a very punchable face. So soft and unlikely to break your fist.
