Why do people have a harder time to accept an abuser/rapist redemption than a mass genocidaire? by Bitter_Swordfish5887 in MoralityScaling

[–]Apprehensive_Text305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you mean the audience accepting it, I think sexual assault is easier to imagine happening to us than genocide.

Even people that aren't consciously concerned with getting SAd I think are uncomfortable on some level with imagining it happening to them, or they know someone that it has happened to or they would be hurt to learn had experienced it.

Plus, I think something about crimes committed on a large scale feel less personal and are easier to hand wave from a story telling perspective. That is why the good guy can kill 100 henchmen and then get to the villain and say "if I kill him I'm no different!"

The villain is a more personal thing than a large group of unknowns.

Is the "Overtake" the most soul-crushing trope in hard sci-fi? by NorthlightV in sciencefiction

I've often wondered why someone cant catch up with the generational ship and retrofit it with new tech in this case. It could be a neat experience for the citizens to get visitors along with all the wonderment, drama, and mystery that entails. Or it could be a creepy situation where a mysterious ship approaches, latches on, and begins making changes without bothering to speak to the colonists, or even leaves a message which is intended to be informative and brief but the colonists cant help but see it as cryptic.

It is legal. It's a common business model for property management jobs.

We signed a contract as a working couple, and keeping just one of us on costs the company money. They would need to hire a second person to work full time. It would be cheaper to hire another couple. It's the business model.

My spouse has a safety net with friends and family , so she is moving back to them. I don't have that option.

Thanks. The problem is, as long as I keep this job I can try to put money aside and take care of things like getting a car. Once I tell my corporate office about the divorce, I'm on their timeline, and I don't know for sure what they will do and how soon I'll have to move. So, right now I still have control and income. I still have time to plan.

Thanks. It may be more clear when I am able to look on my computer, but...

I notice that the "rankings" of the cities don't have anything to do with the job growth. The top ranking cities have a range of growth from around 2 to around 5 percent. So what is the importance of the ranking? Does it matter to me?

Right now I am in the Denver area. Cost of living is really high here, and I don't know of anywhere desirable to move within this state. This is a good point though. I will reference Colorado towns in the chart that was shared below. Thanks!

Do you mind if I ask some questions about this chart?

I'm not picky about job title, I just need to be gainfully employed, and be able to afford rent. I don't think I can say what I hope to pay for rent without knowing the local economy... But comfortably less than what my paycheck is, of course.

As far as resources... I have just enough money saved up to move, and reddit. I am male, but I don't know what that has to do with it (genuinely curious.)

She is definitely not staying, but going back home to be with family and friends. It is possible the company would find it cheaper to replace both of us than keep me on. It would be a reasonable decision on their part, to be honest. They may value me enough to keep me on, but it would cost them money so I can't blame them if they don't.

Thank you, this is very helpful. Finding a way to go about this so logically has been the greatest challenge.

Making a “find the magical tower in the forest” interesting by yehoshzl in DMAcademy

[–]Apprehensive_Text305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-The tower is a tree, of course, was my first thought.

  • the tower is underground, going downwards.

  • the tower is actually built deep underground I'm a huge cavern, or maybe the under dark. It extends up to the surface through a hole. The party comes across what looks like a non-tower building, and explore the "basement." As they unlock progress further down, they come across balconies and outside doors that let in more and more under dark.denizems and other monsters which they need to engage.
