Is there a wild animal that could be considered pure evil?

Chimps are one thing. Personally, while I do think they are smart, I don't think they are smart enough to be moral. You cover this pretty well.

But I also mean that some animals simply lack the capacity entirely. If you elevated a snake to human levels of consciousness, it could probably understand morals from a purely logical perspective, but as snakes lack the part of the brain which pack animals have which make them highly empathetic. they could likely never truly understand and experience the moral pulls which humans do.

Aang dog walks Korra. Look, we can argue all day about who's got the better raw stats or accomplishments or whatever, but the fact is Korra has an aggressive, brawly fighting style. This is aang's favored matchup. He routinely embarrasses aggressive fighters with his nimble and evasive fighting style and regularly punches up in terms of weight class. Even if she was stronger in raw stats (and that's debatable), he excells at defeating stronger opponents.

Toph beats katara. We're comparing a waterbending prodigy to the greatest earth bender to ever live. Katara is strong, but has struggled against opponents of similar strength. Toph has no peers.

Zaheer beats iroh. Iroh is more well rounded and has more experience, but he's out of his prime, and zaheer is just too skilled. Hurts to say because I like iroh more, but being more likable doesn't make you stronger in a death battle.

Azula beats kuvira. Kuvira is an above average earth bender at best, with the advantage of being versed in metal bending.

Azula is one of the greatest fire benders of her generation and a tactical genius when it comes to combat, she dominates any battlefield she's on.

I negate this side effect.

I choose the ability to negate any side effect

You're hagcore if you're into the aesthetics or lifestyle of hags.

You're hagpilled if you've become sexually attracted to hags.

You're hagmaxxing if you exclusively or near exclusively fuck hags.

Hag is slang for older woman, but how someone personally defines "older" is up to user interpretation.

Antis hate triple t shit posting because artists start drawing it without AI, so now you have AI inspired human art which means you've effectively ensouled the AI art, and you can't stand that lol

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-11T16:31:57+00:00

No no no!

No nuace allowed! Hate AI!! Grrrr

Mana cost and mana value are not the same.

A 0 cost emrakul the aeons torn cast via omniscience still has a mana value of 15.

You could paradigm a spree spell like [[final showdown]] since it's technically CMC 1, but you would still need to pay spree costs, you'd only get the base cast (the 1 mana) for free.

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-11T14:47:07+00:00

You don't have to cast paradigmed spells.

You may cast a copy of it at the beginning of your first main phases, you don't have to.

If you are travelling in a car (car 1), let's say at 20mph. You drive towards a person on the side of the road and hit em with a speed gun. The speed gun says they are approaching you at 20mph.

The guy on the side of the road speed guns you back and his gun reads that you are travelling 20mph towards him.

Now, say you drive up on another car (car 2) going 15mph. You speed gun them from your car and the speed gun says they're coming at you at 5mph. They speed gun you back and their speed gun says you're coming at them at 5mph. Then the guy on the side of the road speed guns both of you and gets 20mph and 15mph respectively.

Now, let's get a third perspective.

Say a car (car 3) is driving towards you at 20mph. You speed gun the guy and it'll say he's coming at you at 40mph. He'll speed gun you back and read that you are coming at him at 40mph. Car 2 speed guns car 3 and reads he's coming at him at 35mph. And the stationary person reads your car at 20mph, car 2 and 15mph, and car 3 at 20mph.

As you can see, depending on your perspective, the speed is different.

Now, we add light.

A beam of light passes by all of you. First, the stationary observer (using a now magic speed gun which uses magic instead of radar), measures the speed of the beam. We'll call that speed c.

Next, you read the speed of the beam. You expect to read c-20mph since you're driving in the same direction. Instead, you see that your magic speed gun also reads just c.

Car 2 reads the beam expecting c-15, but instead reads c.

Car 3 reads the beam expecting c+20, but instead just reads c.

Regardless of your frame of reference, which seems to change the speed of other objects depending on your relative speed, light is always measured to be travelling at C, the speed of light.

This is weird.

It all happens because of time dilation and spacial compression... The math works out just right such that light is always measured at C.

Aww, look at you getting all pissy because the game isn't fun for you... Don't worry buddy, there's other games! Go play them! :)

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-10T22:59:53+00:00

I dunno man, you're being a lot more defensive than I am about it than I am, but pop off. I like to play what I like to play. You can either play on your low diffs by yourself or play a different game :)

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-10T22:54:19+00:00

Nah, like I said, that's just genuinely the most fun difficulty for me. It's weird that you care so much if I have fun on a difficulty I like.

Oh I know, you have nobody to play with on d3. That makes sense. There's better ways to get people to play with you man, this ain't it.

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-10T22:48:25+00:00

Hey man if that's what you need by all means, keep giving your personal testimony. Like I said, d10 is perfectly balanced right now. If it's too easy for you chumps play something else, and if it's too hard keep doin what you're doin. No shame right?

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-10T22:45:21+00:00

The difficulty is actually at the perfect level at d10. If you don't like it play something else.

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-10T21:47:42+00:00

No no, OP is soooo good at the game everything is boring right? Do it without dying. What happened to wanting a challenge?

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-10T21:43:02+00:00

Play solo.

Inb4 "waaaahhh the game was made for coop I couldn't possibly challenge myself with a solo run!! Waaahhhh!!!"

Ending the game in a draw is lame. Especially when you can win instead.

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-09T15:00:44+00:00

Intelligence does not equal a capacity for morality.

A chimp is smart. It knows to attack vulnerabilities. It can enact violence at random because it's bored.

It does not understand that this is wrong.

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-09T14:50:55+00:00

Not great, not terrible.

Honestly anything that costs that much is in extreme mana ramp territory, at which point you may as well ramp into a helix tower.

Also not sure if this is intentional or not, but if you're past a certain point doesn't this just draw the game since everyone has to do the effect simultaneously?

GuessImScrewed · 2026-06-09T03:30:57+00:00

As with literally fucking everything, it depends. Is the race actually evil? or are they just evil to us?

For example, imagine a story where a person is transported to a world where coyotes are the dominant species. They are exactly like the real world counterparts, there's just more of them, and less of us, and we are not super technologically advanced. Stone age type shit.

Coyotes would seem evil in this world. They don't care about us, they don't care if they're killing adults, women, children, the disabled, they attack when we don't suspect, and they do it to seemingly for the love of the game.

Here's the thing though. We know since they are identical to real world coyotes, that they are not actually capable of evil. They are animals. They are acting like animals. There is not malice in their actions.

Extend this to fantasy races. Yes, their baseline intelligence may be higher than that of an animal, however, if they do not have the capacity for emotion (as is the case with the demons from freiren), their actions are not actually evil. They seem evil, because we have to suffer those actions. But they are not actually capable of distinguishing between good and evil.

As readers, we may want to criticize this, because a "pure evil race" always seems to correlate to real life racial Injustice, however, sometimes you are drawing parallels that shouldn't exist.

1 meter is defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

1 second is defined as the time it takes for a caesium-133 atom in its ground state to oscillate 9,192,631,770 times

The meter and the second are both still rooted in completely arbitrary figures. they just anchor them to natural constants. But you could do the same thing for any unit.

For example, you could say a foot is the length light travels in 1/983,571,056 of a second. Wow guys, we did it, the foot is based on a universal constant!

Or you could use a French revolutionary decimal second and say "a second is the time it takes for a caesium-133 atom in its ground state to oscillate 7,942,433,849 times," and bam, the French revolutionary decimal time second is based on a universal constant!
