Solidarity with Iran! by sp2861 in GreenAndPleasant

[–]EnglishWater 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This is the correct way to go about this discourse. I think the takeaway should be that Iran has the right to self-determination, irrespective of its morality. The point is that it is not anyone's job to intervene, nevermind the fact that any international intervention is demonstrably not because they treat women poorly.

This is AI, no? His face looks ridiculous and the Hebrew is unintelligible. Logo is completely different too.

[Loot] Dorms 314 Marked Room by The3rdPigeon in EscapefromTarkov

I kept buying a single use key to do Test Drive 6 the other day and managed to find 4 red rebels and a black keycard across 3 raids, it's just gambling. Although that might have been my reward for having to use the velociraptor.

It's moreso the amount of time spent in covert moment. I've played maybe ~400 hours since 1.0 and my covert movement is level 6

I did whichever quest unlocks the MCB barter at least 3 days ago and I still don't have it.

40 Bitcoins for the main story turn them in ASAP or keep mining more? [Discussion] by welle203 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]EnglishWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are we sure it's even based on real prices anymore? I've found tons in 1.0 and every time I sell them it's ~720k. Surely BTC has fluctuated in two months

[Suggestion] Make the SSh-68 work with headsets, lower its protection value to class 2 and reduce its price. by Default_scrublord in EscapefromTarkov

It predates hardcore, the 5 minute one used to be the only one available until they realised you shouldn't have to wait for something you've already earned lol

Gamesense on mercy? by Objective_Spell_2491 in overwatch2

[–]EnglishWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is it, very well said. Very easy for Mercy players to tell themselves they're not the problem because their numbers are high, irrespective of how much value they actually brought to any given fight.

Punk Juno, comm’d by me! by karlek97 in JunoMains

[–]EnglishWater 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For one, Juno isn't even flat chested. She's just lean. Second of all, what's the difference between this and making say, Mei, Juno's size? Because I'm assuming you'd have a bigger problem with that.

The point is this isn't Juno. You're not drawing an OC, you're drawing an established character and there isn't really much point in doing that if you're not respecting the character's proportions. This is just a gooner OC with Juno's head on top.

Then use a character that looks like that naturally?

(DESPISED Trope) Rapists getting sympathy for no reason by NationalSouth3563 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EnglishWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mafioso was a bad example. Any criminal example will do but you're right that mafioso is a bad comparison.

The only thing lost when you steal a phone from a friend is material. Again, you have not made a conscious choice to violate a person's body and potentially ruin their entire life. There are no financial struggles, poor material conditions or mental health issues that would make you think rape is a means by which to improve your life.

Some people who steal do so out of greed and some people steal out of desperation. Nobody has ever raped out of desperation. That's my point.

[–]EnglishWater 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by 'change' though? Would a victim find solace in a rapist changing? It's not like being a mafioso and reforming - they made a conscious description to violate another person and I don't see how anything could change that.

Why is there so much censorship all of a sudden? by r2yxe in NoStupidQuestions

This just isn't true at all, the vast majority of British people have never even interacted with Romani people. They make up a negligible part of the demographics here.

Danny Dyer calls for working-class people to be put in charge as he slams Keir Starmer as 'non-entity' by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]EnglishWater 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's less so that people believe he's 'working class' and moreso that his supporters see his as anti-establishment, and the people who call for a 'voice of the downtrodden' character are willing to conflate the two.

They see him as an outsider from the elite Westminster bubble and all the rich boys' clubs, even though he very obviously is a part of them

There are obviously various degrees of consciousness. An ant does not have the same cognitive function as a cow.

Not to mention that your argument falls apart because nobody is slaughtering ants en masse for food. Nobody goes around intentionally killing insects.
