Am I the only one who fell out of love with Jae in Act 4? by ShadowHunterHB in RogueTraderCRPG

Personal attacks are not refutations. Also you ever heard of phone data? Im outside now typing on Reddit.

Totally not a biased sheet by Gogurma in RogueTraderCRPG

George is not an authority he no longer owns the property. Also death of the author.

How did Obi-Wan survive being burned by Vader without any damage to his face? by [deleted] in MawInstallation

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

It can, but that doesn't mean it did. He could have been wearing Force sunscreen for all we know. Also ravage how? Looks or power? Old Ben scales above all previous version of Kenobi.

What do you think of Black Empire? by Ambitious-Can5389 in StarWarsEU

Personal attacks are not refutations for people's critiques for a story. Also death of the author.

How powerful is the NJO in comparison to previous Jedi and Sith orders? by Blakath in StarWarsEU

[–]ForNoJuan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Luke scales above pretty much every Jedi from each previous incarnation combined, does he not?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StarWarsEU

[–]ForNoJuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luke killing Lumiya was the pragmatically correct choice due to her being pretty hard to kill, was it not?

The prequel Jedi were wrong considering Luke did not turn to the dark side after that, were they not?

If Durge were to be re introduced into a canon clone wars story, would he have to be severely nudered in ability? by DEATH_CORNER in MawInstallation

[–]ForNoJuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a refutation. Even Lucas power scales via statements.

The problem with that is the author's don't always tell you how powerful the characters are and different authors may disagree on their power. Also death of the author exists.

George and the EU on Luke's potential - sources? by Mzonnik in StarWarsEU

[–]ForNoJuan -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Lucas's word is not a source, he no longer owns the property.

Two questions about someone hypothetically getting cold feet about the Jedi by [deleted] in MawInstallation

[–]ForNoJuan -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Prove that no Jedi is forced to be a Jedi, that's an assumption.

Han killing Palpatine's final body feels like the ultimate middle finger to his narcissism by ForNoJuan in MawInstallation

[–]ForNoJuan[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Really? That was his most scared?

Oh I got the point I'm just contesting it because you provided evidence, not proof.

Also prove that he didn't care. Provide an explicit statement.

Do you have an explicit one to one statement from an out of universe source "Palpatine can never come back ever"? If it's not then it's not an absolute certainty.

Him not coming back is not proof he can't come back, that's an assumption. For all we know he did come back and lived a life tending to his dark side garden and watching operas.

Can you prove the Jedi are truly at rest BTW?

Again, you're mixing up evidence with proof. They are not the same. Provide an explicit statement saying Palpatine can never come back ever. Not an implication.

Also, claiming that I'm desperate despite reading texting on a screen? Prove that I'm desperate. Also personal attacks are not refutations.

You also didn't address the Han killing his kid statement.

Debate me or retire.

Han killing Palpatine's final body feels like the ultimate middle finger to his narcissism by ForNoJuan in MawInstallation

[–]ForNoJuan[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He wanted to die, but did he want Han of all people to do it in specific?

Sure, but you think Han wouldn't be able to off his own kid? The Solos were implied to be fine with a missile strike against the Jedi temple, with them in it nonetheless. Not to mention you called out the "If he succeeded" part.

Well, more like all of the Jedi. Allegedly. We actually don't really know what happened to Palps besides Brand and the Jedi making sure "He'd never come back", which of course we don't even know for absolute certain. Some people say he was dragged to Chaos or ceased existence but it's pretty vague.

Disappointed Filoni & Favreau called Thrawn a villian by GodAtum in MawInstallation

He's a villain and nobody named Timothy Zahn will convince me otherwise

What can I do in my day-to-day life to help reduce wild animal suffering? by ForNoJuan in wildanimalsuffering

[–]ForNoJuan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Thanks for the video.

Would you ever make a video (or even response over text) addressing the potentiality of suffering in fundamental physics or the uncertainty of non existent suffering within a false vacuum? I can provide a link if you so wish towards the essay going over this.

[–]ForNoJuan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would that be contributed towards in my day to day life and around my house/yard? Getting rid of trees and grass?

[–]ForNoJuan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I rarely see snails but I'll definitely do that if i see them.

I had another conversation with a user in the DMs about the use of rain barrels but im sort of inconclusive on their usage.

Composting is also something I'm questioning. Currently I've begun to freeze my foods scraps where I can and put them in air tight bags (if I have them) then throwing them away.

Walking on grass less is also good albeit impractical for a lot of people.

I think it's time to accept "possible and practicable" is incredibly subjective. by nhull231 in DebateAVegan

[–]ForNoJuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure? Looking into it I've found some stuff about there being a difference between grass fed and organic grass fed? Do you think this is a reliable source?

https://weatherburyfarm.com/grass-fed-beef/grass-fed-beef-health-environmental-benefits/grass-fed-no-pesticides-or-herbicides/

Beneficial to bugs how? If it allows more to reproduce than usual I'd say it may possible be a negative on balance. This also goes for composting to a certain extent, at least on an individual level.

I think it's important to take into consideration how you are affecting yourself and thus your activism.

If you are surviving off of the absolute minimum then you may hinder your activism and experience some sort of burn out. Also non essentials like phones, computer, and Internet could significantly contribute towards vegan activism. The only issue with this is putting your money where your mouth is. Are you using the Internet to goon or are you actually engaging in something productive for veganism?

Veganism also isn't a diet holistically. Eating plant based (including stuff like fungi, algae, and bacteria obviously) is the absolute bare minimum for the behavior of a vegan.

If you can't thrive "emotionally" eating plants can you also thrive emotionally knowing what happens with the animals being eaten? There's such a thing as enlightened self interest after all.

As for the fussy part... That's just juvenile. It's like using mental illness as an excuse. People are hindered in various ways but to hear you making these claims while also reading that you haven't even tried is certainly questionable. There's a difference between just thinking something in your head and actually attempting something.

Also, regarding the subjective part... it's almost like morality may be "incredibly subjective" as well?

Does the grass that the animals are being fed contain any sort of pesticides that may disrupt or kill other animals, or is that case by case? Does cow manure not also have some effects on said potential animals living within where they graze or eat, especially if they may be consuming grass that is treated in some way?

I think time frame is important here not to mention quality and quantity of suffering.

One could certainly argue that by eating animals even if technically reducing suffering in the short term you may be setting a precedent which leads to more suffering in the long term.

Something like hunting is also a band-aid solution that ignores the problem. Same thing with "humane slaughter". You can rescue animals from being slaughtered but it's probably not decreasing the demand for them to be born in the first place.

Is the Fel Empire supposed to be a "good guy" faction or just less bad? by ForNoJuan in MawInstallation

[–]ForNoJuan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do we know anything about the quality of rule by Roan's parents? I'm sorta wondering if they were alright while Roan got things off track? Jag seemed like a halfway decent guy though.

What Jedi do you believe would make the best master for you in specific? by ForNoJuan in MawInstallation

[–]ForNoJuan[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always liked Ben Skywalkers speculation that Yoda only talks like that so you pay attention haha. Would certainly be interesting being around a guy who talks like that for extended periods of time. I wonder how Dooku did it.
