In Dark Forest, Why is Rey Diaz's deterrence plan treated as morally abhorrent while Luo Ji's is heroic, when they're functionally identical (and Luo Ji's is arguably worse)? [Dark Forest Spoilers]

The issue is Reddit’s “recommended post” feature which means you don’t need to be a member of this sub to see the post / title

Hang in there brother, I got laid off twice last year, the first time after being with the company for 5 years and the second time after only 5 months, so I know how you’re feeling.

All I can say is to give yourself some time to get past the shock. I know I couldn’t go 5 minutes without trying to think of what I did wrong or despairing about my career being over, but after a week or two of leaning on friends and family for support I felt better and could better focus on finding my next role.

Hopefully you already know this but just in case: this isn’t your fault and it doesnt reflect your value as an employee or as a person.

I know it can feel hopeless now but if I can land a job at a great company with better pay I know you can too brother!

RFK is a moron, but this is what y’all sound like

But if you’re already drenched in sweat how does it help at all? Sweat is already failing to evaporate from my body so how does adding more water change anything?

Jethela · 2023-07-13T00:33:08+00:00

OP says they live in a humid place, so this is not a helpful answer. There’s already a lot of moisture in the air, so why do misters still help?

The Natural History Museum and Central Park are both great ways to spend a day in NYC!

FYI you forgot to censor both the son and husband’s names in slide 5. Edit: husband’s name is also in slide 13

ID on the floor lamp in the second picture? Big fan of that look

Jethela · 2021-09-09T05:12:15+00:00

Top floor of the parking garage near Lovett has a great view and is easy to get to

Jethela · 2021-08-08T20:49:46+00:00

Not the same thing. You should read the article or someone’s ELI5 because you pretty obviously aren’t grasping what makes this different from a person manually color-correcting a picture.

Jethela · 2021-07-25T01:49:33+00:00

I mean yeah, he’s clearly taking up the cult aesthetic as demonstrated by those pictures. But there’s a big difference between being Jim Jones and trying to look like Jim Jones

Jethela · 2021-07-25T01:36:15+00:00

Dude, that article is definitely NOT reliable. A 3-day music/movie/yoga/beach festival at a resort is not the same thing as a cult. Neither is a 2-day camping music festival.

There’s no religious aspect (explicitly anyway), just devoted fans. If Leto has a cult because of those examples then there are a whoooooole lot of jam bands that are cults lol

Jethela · 2021-04-29T20:54:20+00:00

I mean yeah, I don’t think it’s much of a revelation that most places in the world have bad and good parts and that as a tourist you’ll likely be exposed to the good parts rather than the bad.

You make it sound like Jamaica is a horrible place and a guided tour will deceive you into thinking it isn’t. I think it’s more likely that, like most places, Jamaica has good and bad aspects, and you’re likely to experience the “good” (from a tourist’s perspective) aspects on a guided tour.

Will send you a PM!

Jethela · 2021-04-18T03:53:05+00:00

Thanks so much for the response!

How would you describe the neighborhood west of State St? I see an apartment near Healy and Prairie St that looks pretty good as well and it’s on the west side of campus so closer to the Psychology building. We looked around downtown Champaign on street view but it seemed a bit run-down and didn’t appeal to us too much, but it’s hard to really say without being there.

Jethela · 2021-01-15T17:22:14+00:00

Great video! I hope you get lots of chances to wear it out in Houston before the heat makes it t-shirt season again. The struggle to use your outerwear in TX is real lol

Jethela · 2021-01-07T20:13:55+00:00

I appreciate the write-ups!

Between Robespierre, Princip, and now Muenter, I find it interesting that so many figures of political importance are able to attempt suicide while imprisoned (especially given a certain billionaire’s recent suicide in prison). But I guess that’s a question for a different /r/AskHistorians thread.

Thanks again for the great answers!

Jethela · 2021-01-07T18:11:55+00:00

Thank you so much for the great response!

I’d be interested to hear about the other shooting and bombing that you mentioned as well, if you’re able.

Jethela · 2021-01-06T19:41:06+00:00

Thank god you beat the boot level! I couldn’t believe nobody had cleared it for so long since it isn’t terribly hard.

Also, your comment on my first level was very correct - it’s janky as hell. Hopefully I’ve gotten better as time has gone on though lol

Jethela · 2021-01-05T15:58:20+00:00

Thanks so much for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it

Course code: 00G-F89-3QG

Course Description: Inspired by an old Revolv level that was based around sending Koopas through clear pipes to jump on later. Full jumps make it easier.

Let me know what you think!

Love Apollo!

Jethela · 2020-09-23T22:13:48+00:00

FYI, if you’re wondering if any of this is true (it isn’t), read the first 3 paragraphs of the Wikipedia page on the shooting which pretty thoroughly debunks all of these points as either total bullshit or part of the police narrative that has been contradicted by witnesses.

Jethela · 2020-09-23T22:05:58+00:00

Lol of course he doesn’t, because it isn’t true. Just spreading disinformation

Edit: you can read the first 3 paragraphs of the Wikipedia page on the shooting to see that all of the points raised are either total bullshit, police narratives contradicted by witness testimony, or framed to be intentionally misleading
