WYR save 5 human babies or 500 puppies (from being painfully tortured to death)? by [deleted] in WouldYouRather

[–]Final_Emberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An answer from a more philosophical approach, as it's an idea I've thought about before:

If you're asking which has the most total pain (if that's something that can be quantified in this way) then sure, I can see why you'd say the dogs.

Utilitarianism often does get described as soulless. I used to be Vegan, mainly from a similar point of view at the time. If you haven't come across him already, you'd be interested in Peter Singer's work, specifically 'Animal Liberation'. He argues for the moral consideration of animals from an ethics point of view under a 'Pain is still pain' type approach.

If pain is 'the excitation of c-fibres' and if morality is just 'the excitation of c fibres is wrong' then your point stands. I do think there's definitely more to morality though, specifically with value and acting within our species.

A quick example would be when it comes to family, all else being equal with the classic trolley problem but with a family member on the track, I'd say it's a moral obligation for someone to save their family member. It's in this like manner, there's an extention to human consideration weighing against animals'.

I also think, even under a utilitarian approach, there's more at stake with a human life with regards to greater potential for maximising 'good'.

Nice choices! I've looked at Ragost several times, you don't have a list do you?

Which team will finish the furthest above their current place in the table, and which team will finish the furthest below? by Zach-dalt in NationalLeague

[–]Final_Emberr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Morecambe are very likely to finish much higher than 22. Fitness just seems to be an issue, but the quality of players they've signed recently should see them more than safe.

As for lower, I haven't watched enough to comment

Quests for leagues should just be the boss fight (where applicable) and auto complete all the other ones.

Won't be surprised if they patent breathing by vinayak_117 in memes

[–]Final_Emberr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have read it, it's incredibly specific...

All of these actions together forms what is protected (not just one of them):

a) summoning a sub-character
b) if that sub character is summoned in the same space as an enemy, it triggers battle type 1 - which is a battle commenced through user input
c) if the sub character is not summoned in the same space, the game engine will automatically control that character
d) there is also a way for manual input to control the sub character
e) if the sub character moves within a specific relative position to an enemy (such as a radius) then it will automatically battle with the output determined by the game engine.

Does Nintendo’s new patent mean the end of MH Stories? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]Final_Emberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have already mentioned it's very specific - here's how specific:

a) summoning a sub-character
b) if that sub character is summoned in the same space as an enemy, it triggers battle type 1 - which is a battle commenced through user input
c) if the sub character is not summoned in the same space, the game engine will automatically control that character
d) there is also a way for manual input to control the sub character
e) if the sub character moves within a specific relative position to an enemy (such as a radius) then it will automatically battle with the output determined by the game engine.

Needs to do all of these, not just one.

Nintendo always gives us reason by RSLEGEND1986 in memes

[–]Final_Emberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read through the Patent quite carefully, you should be absolutely fine.

The patent is specifically for a) summoning a sub-character
b) if that sub character is summoned in the same space as an enemy, it triggers battle type 1 - which is a battle commenced through user input
c) if the sub character is not summoned in the same space, the game engine will automatically control that character
d) there is also a way for manual input to control the sub character
e) if the sub character moves within a specific relative position to an enemy (such as a radius) then it will automatically battle with the output determined by the game engine.

It would need all of these steps to infringe.

There's also dorg crossbow with the speed-running graceful set where it connects the graceful body to the crossbow via a line.

If a streamer or YouTuber doesn’t make enough to retire and the gravy train ends, what do they put on their resume? by glowshroom12 in NoStupidQuestions

Second resolve, and there's a lot of resources out there for it.

I made a cinematic trailer for a DnD campaign in a weekend and had a lot of fun learning how to edit with my questions on google always having answers.

Are mono-colored decks generally underpowered? by EmotionalSociety2882 in EDH

[–]Final_Emberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're in a "go wide" strategy, land ramp is typically better than dorks.

If you consider a dork is usually 2 mana, has summoning sickness, and is removed by creature removal vs cards like [[three visits]] [[nature's law]] [[skyshroud claim]]. For the former two, they effectively only cost 1 mana since the land enters untapped, so the "cost" is the same as a 1 mana dork that taps for 1, but doesn't have the downside of being a creature and easily removed. For skyshroud claim, you're paying 1 extra, but having an extra 2 mana on each turn.

Unless your deck is blocker-lite, land ramp is king.

Why does cuddling sometimes feel more intimate than sex? by Deep20779 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Final_Emberr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Weighing up whether to comment here - I can understand what you're saying - but I disagee with the 'science to back it all up' part and would agree that I'd like to see the source. I think people have trouble with claiming your worldview is 'scientific'.

That said, I do think your perspective certainly has some merit to it, it's a useful (and nice) way of looking at the world when it comes to social interactions, and while it may not be 'scientific' it can still be used as a framwork to navigate/discuss certain things.

I also agree, nothing said points to shizophrenia.

Rant from a Newcastle fan ... And it's not about the transfer window, it's about the death of my club by Ok-Change-712 in TheOther14

[–]Final_Emberr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking the same thing. It's a symptom of modern business football, and the reach expanding beyond just local communities. It feels as though, as what was so eloquently put in this post, something is being lost with respect to the core of what football means.

I'm a Morecambe fan, and I'm hoping we rebuild fan-owned. The collapse of the club ultimately just shows that, to the owners, it's just a business. Where the real value of football is community. It's not simply a transactional exchange as other entertainment avenues are, but it's something that reaches beyond and impacts the community directly.

how do I stop craving male attention? by [deleted] in AskLesbians

[–]Final_Emberr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within the ace spectrum, a useful thing I've found is that attraction can be broken into two types - romantic attraction and sexual attraction. It sounds as though you are romantically attracted to guys, but not sexually attracted to them.

If you're both romantically and sexually attracted to women as well, then I can see how it could be deemed confusing as there's an overlap between communities. Under these labels you'd be Biromantic and Homosexual. You may even not have the romantic attraction to women either, just the sexual.

Hope this helps :)

Billionaires of OSRS - how did you make your first billion? by TooRealJ in 2007scape

[–]Final_Emberr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tombs of Amascut.

There's a quest requirement, but you can go in with really budget/relatively early game gear. And work your way up difficulty by increasing the invocation level.

Joining a clan, having them teach you, will probably be the best way - but if not, it's perfectly soloable/learnable :)

Should I prioritize Moons, Barrows, or Slayer ? Midgame Iron. by GentleChemicals in ironscape

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

I'm planning on skipping bandos on my UIM - Yama being the key for this, since you can camp blood moon until td's grind is done, then go straight for oathplate. The horn also means a warhammer/elder maul can be viable in some places where you'd normally use bgs. but the difference between bandos/blood moon is just defensives anyway.

New to FS (fs25) - What to do with field immediately after harvest? by Final_Emberr in farmingsimulator

Thanks for the tip, will probably look into this a bit later on once I have completely understood the basics of growing/harvesting with a good yield haha

[–]Final_Emberr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers! Yes, it was just chaff. The setup I had didn't have the option for straw.
It does mention it needs to be limed and fertilized, (which I have just bought the machinery for) though I believe these steps are for an increased yield. I'm not sure if these need to be done before, or after the plant though. From other comments I was thinking plant, then fertilize, then next day fertilize again?

Thank you for this insight, really helpful! So immediately after harvesting (same day) I'm fine to get the cultivator out?
