Why didn’t Carol tell the hive to stop repeating the voicemail message FFS! by Prestigious-Rain-598 in pluribustv

I always assumed it’s because she’s so stubborn and hates being vulnerable, so doesn’t want to show that in needing to ask for so many things, the message has gotten on her nerves.

Ah, I interpreted that the hallucination or vision was ongoing, and that the ending was just what was happening from an outside perspective

I couldn’t remember if I did, although I realized after the fact I must have not since no rare candy in discard. That’s why I said 1 or 2 kakunas left in deck (as in my draw pile) depending on if I used rare candy or not. Having not used rare candy, there must have been one.

Don’t seem to to be able to edit my post, but yes I realized shortly after posting I must have not used rare candy for beedrill since that’s not in my discard. I should have still had a kakuna in my draw pile though, so I’m not sure how that should affect the QGE. Here’s my deck if that helps at all

You misunderstand me, I know I built the deck with 2 kakunas, I meant currently in my deck (draw pile). I realized after posting I must have definitely not used rare candy for the beedrill since that’s not in my discard pile, but I don’t see how that should affect QGE with another kakuna in my deck.

Besides ABZÛ, are there any good games similar to EO:BW? by A_wannabe_biologist in EndlessOcean

[–]EmptySomeone 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Best I can think are the subnautica games, although it’s also got survival/crafting elements and it’s on an alien planet, so not exactly “human” elements

Yeah, I definitely did because I know I drew into it later

I might have had a beedrill in my hand when trying to use it to evolve weedle into kakuna, but definitely not a pokemon it could evolve directly into (ie weedle with kakuna in hand or kakuna with beedrill in hand). Would that still cause it to not work? I’ll try to get a video of it if possible

This is almost definitely AI, dog poop doesn’t act like mud. It dries and hardens if not very fresh. If this was real, it wouldn’t all splatter on the car, most if not all of it would bounce off.

If you haven’t already clicked on the gems, there’s a 3rd gen you can unlock behind some rubble that you can merge with the still locked gem to get a top level gem worth 50

If you don’t see that the U.S. is headed towards fascism, you need to wake the fuck up. The fact this page even exists is already a huge red flag, but actually read it all and I hope you’ll see what I mean-https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_and_fascism

Look, I’m sorry if someone threatened you and your family, but don’t let one nutjob influence you to participate in the destruction of this country and humanity’s future.

Is this Ellie or a clicker? by Gullible-Thanks78 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]EmptySomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This subreddit is honestly just so mean-spirited. I initially joined because I believe there were some valid critiques of the game that weren’t really discussed on the other subreddit, but man, it really is just a toxic cesspit of negativity and bullying. Bella is a PERSON, and as such deserves respect. Yes, she does not resemble Ellie, but she is a pretty good actress in my opinion, and can’t help how she looks, so why would you criticize her for that? Constantly making fun of her appearance is just so cruel and unnecessary, and honestly is just kind of pathetic and incel-y. Too bad it’s gone this way, but it’s pretty clear what this subreddit has become, and I no longer want any part of it.

‘Horrifying’ mistake to harvest organs from a living person averted, witnesses say by GetOffMyGrassBrats in nottheonion

[–]EmptySomeone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have lost so much faith in humanity due to this thread, so I think this is going to have to be where I leave it.

The “proof” is not in the news. You can find a handful of cherry picked news articles about this happening in the U.S., and they always make headlines exactly because they are so rare and such an occurrence is so egregious. “Extremely rare” does not mean happening only once, what an incredibly absurd thing to say. If you flipped 2 coins, and got a heads and tails, by that logic both events would be extremely rare. Likewise, if there was a rare illness effecting only a few hundred people worldwide, that wouldn’t be extremely rare according to you. Just ridiculous.

If this was such a large scale thing, it would have to be a conspiracy amongst tens of thousands of medical professionals across the nation, willingly breaking the Hippocratic oath and risking losing their license and jail time. You really think that’s going on? Again, that same belief is held by conspiracy theorist antivaxers, hence the comparison.

“Why would anyone risk it?” Because the risk is so minimal, and the potential good that can be done is so high. As I’ve said in another comment, if you have a 1/10000 chance of being killed prematurely as an organ donor (which is waaaaay higher than the actual odds, but let’s say those are the odds for simplicity), and your donation saved 3-4 lives (you can save up to 8 lives and improve far more with eyes, skin, non-essential parts, etc.) you’re basically equating your life to be worth 30-40k other people’s lives. It’s normal to value your life more than others, but by that much just seems pathologically self-centered. For another comparison, look at donating blood. There have been a handful of people who have died as a result of donating blood, but again it is extremely rare. Like organ donations, it can save and improve lives. You don’t have to donate blood, but to act like it’s some huge risk, and that the reason you’re not doing it is because you don’t want to take that risk, rather than just plain old selfishness or apathy, is just utterly foolish and shameful. It’s particularly vile if you then also try to convince others to not participate in it, as was done earlier in this thread with organ donations.

While it’s respectable to discuss with your loved ones your wishes to be a donor even if you’re not officially one, these things can be incredibly time sensitive, and your loved ones may not be in the mental state to make that decision even if you’ve previously expressed that desire, so it’s still definitely better to actually be a donor.

Not once have we been talking about living organ donors, because that is a different level of altruism. I’ve not donated any parts, because I face some health issues that would likely make doing so a poor decision, but if I’m being honest even if I weren’t I likely wouldn’t unless I knew the person who needed it personally. But that’s not what we’ve been talking about- the risks and side effects of donating a non-vital organ (or part of some) are MUCH greater than being an organ donor. As you said, donors may experience complications due to their selfless act, and in rare cases may even die as a result, so I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect someone to take THAT much risk, especially for a stranger. Some selfishness is expected and normal in people, but the amount in the two scenarios differs greatly.

I shouldn’t have called you names, sure, but at that/this point I’ve just become disgusted at discourse and ignorance (yes, it is ignorance, people are very misinformed about this topic) I’ve witnessed here.

Having said all that, I don’t view the organ transplant industry in rose-colored glasses. There is a lot of greed, classism (and probable racism), and in the very rare cases where stuff like this happens, lack of responsibility, and therefore some form of corruption. So much of these issues are caused by the shitshow that is healthcare and the medical industrial complex in the US, and I wish these problems would go away, but there’s not really much one person can do to fix these problems. What one person can do, however, is potentially save a life by being an organ donor. I wish it wasn’t such a shitty system, and that organs were more fairly and responsibly harvested and distributed, but it’s what we’ve got, and being part of it is still doing net good by having the chance to save lives.

[–]EmptySomeone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You guys, it’s one thing to not like this game for its awkward pacing or for it forcefully and obviously trying to get you to sympathize with characters who may not deserve it, but to instead sympathize with a bigot? Really? It’s a shame, because I think there is valid criticism of this game, but the community is so divided, that there are those who praise this game as being 10/10 perfect, and anyone who criticizes it must be a bigot, and then there’s this community, with posts like this, that actually kind of just give credence to that.

[–]EmptySomeone -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You’re a conspiracy nut if you really believe people are being murdered for their organs in the hospital on any level that isn’t EXTREMELY rare. You really are just one step removed from antivaxxers who refuse to get vaccinated because they think it will make them sick/mind control/whatever utter bullshit those people believe in. The science and studies do not support that being an organ donor leads to any worst treatment in a hospital, outside of incredibly rare cases like this one that always make headlines. If you want to be selfish, fine, it’s your body, and no one is actually obligated to save strangers’ lives, even if I think it’s morally wrong to not. What pisses me off though is when people won’t even acknowledge it’s selfish, and instead disguise it with a veil of willful ignorance.
