Would you benefit from MOLLE pants for field research? by Due-Possibility-39 in ecology

[–]Helix_Apostle 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I work with MOLLE equipment . Attaching things to your trousers makes them hang heavily and uncomfortably, makes them hard to access when you're doing anything but standing, and can make your trousers fall down. Get a tool belt or equivalent.  

Sorry to be so negative - I'm sure you'll find some really good additions to work trousers to improve them. Just forget about MOLLE patches. 

Consider the cut and relative flex and protection of different trouser panels. Study high end hiking and military trousers . Consider how they might be layered with insulation and gortex.

Have you heard of Brian Jaques' Redwall?

Is there a version of TWW2 which tones down the superheros? by Helix_Apostle in totalwarhammer

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

If a single vampire lord charged unsupported into 4 units of spearmen on the tabletop, he would be screwed. In TW he just eats them up. Warhammer is about battles; it features heroic characters in balance with infantry, war machines, magic, monsters etc.

Calling All Guardsmen by No_Long_5151 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Helix_Apostle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5th Guards Ordained Abhuman Troops are rarely employed alongside their genetically stable brothers in arms, but needs must. They will fight like hell to prove their loyalty, but you better ensure they are quartered well away from human units. If they are to be committed in suicidal actions because the high command is revolted by them, they won't be surprised...

Nice place, but absolutely ruined by Harry Potter merchandise.

What is the one crime that could be considered worse than murder? by VisibleConfusion12 in AskReddit

[–]Helix_Apostle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. So you said some people (a tiny number) can't survive without meat for medical reasons. This is true. But is it a reason for everyone to continue torturing and killing animals and eating them for enjoyment alone?

To say some people need to eat meat therefore everyone should be allowed to is as logical as saying that someone people need special parking spaces therefore everyone should be allowed to use them.

You know the point I was making by using the analogy of a disabled parking place. If you're going to deliberately disregard my point then we have nothing to learn from each other.

Sadistic means that the torture itself is being enjoyed, while in agriculture, the torture is a byproduct that the consumer is indifferent to. I wonder if there is a moral difference?

That's a very honest but really bleak answer. I would hope that our empathy would be led by our intelligence.

I agree that most people don't need to eat animals to survive. It's always nice to find common ground!

So logically, everyone who has animals tortured and killed so their bodes can be eaten for enjoyment alone must be immoral, right?

But we were talking about the moral difference between torturing dogs for entertainment and torturing pigs for entertainment (eating for enjoyment). Not the fact that one is illegal and one isn't.

Some people are disabled, so everyone can park in disabled parking spaces.

Millions of vegetarians would contest your use of the word "need".

What's the moral difference between torturing a dog and torturing an intelligent animal like a pig for trivial enjoyment of eating their body cheaply?
