Until someone has a heart attack and needs to call 911… these are super illegal for a reason!
Even then. Taking individual action to try and solve a systemic problem that results in a bad, unintended outcome is very on brand for Chaotic Good.

> every single other result is even less likely.
But the summed probability of the “not too far away results” is much higher, i.e. P([93, 107]\{100}) > P([100]).
So if you only shoot 100/100 with your coin, that's definitely weird.

That's true of every result. If you're using this to conclude you have a weird coin then every coin is weird.
Also no one was going to blame Amazon for inflation. There are still people in the US who are under the impression that the only reason they would be paying any part of the tariffs is due to corporate greed instead of that just being how tariffs work.

> Trust, but verify
Tellingly, Reagan’s America is where I really notice cultural growth dying out and trust vanishing.
I feel like its easy for "Trust, but verify" to degrade into "Verify, then trust". It's that initial step of distrust while verifying that starts to sour things.
I find this mystifying. I think of "choosing a dwarf makes you a lesser wizard" as being a pretty core part of D&D. Have they released specifics on this? If race/species is going to become purely cosmetic, have they explained what will replace it, mechanically?
I mean, if you go far back enough "dwarves cannot be wizards" was a core part of D&D as well.

Hilariously that 32% may well include all the bots doing stuffing attacks.
Also probably includes all the times my company has made me change my password. It always takes a good week before I remember that my old password isn't the one anymore.

do you know what happens if military does not have a system to find and target specific people in a building? they just might need to bring down the whole building. everyone in it might die but at least your conscience is clean.
Honestly, this just Roko's Basilisk but even dumber.

I would agree that's obvious, if not for the original error.
The liar doesn't necessarily "have" any hats. Again, the assumption that the liar has hats is incorrect because it's relying on an conversational implication, rather than a specific assertion.
Sure, but the question isn't about which statement is possible from the liar's statement, it's about which statement we can conclude from the liar's statement.
The liar could be lying because they have no hats. They could be lying because they have a non-green hat. We cannot conclude E because it's possible that E is not correct.

> All my hats....", you are simultaneously making an existence statement that you have at least one hat
It does not. All my unicorns fly. There is no assumption that I have a unicorn. There is an assumption, based on the claim but it is not a fact.
The puzzle also assumes that "my" implies there is some ownership (we'll take for granted "my" means "has" for simplicity), which is another quibble that unravels the whole thing.
E is correct. I don't see how A comes to be the accepted answer.
E cannot be correct.
"All my hats are green" is still false even when I own a red hat and a green hat.

This is clearly the law of conservation of reality at work.
Likewise, when you hear a word for the first time suddenly you hear it five times in a row. Or if you see somebody once you suddenly start running into them all over the place.
It's because it's cheaper to repeat past realities than to create new ones.
Or how when you look for something it always ends up in the last place you look, if it weren't there would have been some number of places you looked that were completely unnecessary.
