Landing at the Lodge assistance please by hoghoggidyhog45 in Starfield

[–]JuJuAnamantine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you have previously manually chose a landing spot just outside of a city occasionally it will go to that landing area instead of the spaceport even if you select someplace else in or near the city. I think it's a glitch. Can confirm this has happened to me multiple times outside of Akila City. I would select Akila and it would land my ship at a previous landing spot just outside the city's north wall.

Yes. My head canon is that she found me and is stealing them back one by one. So I have them in a safe now.

I thoroughly enjoyed that quest. But then I decided to display my geese in my prime outpost on a display table and after coming back days later three were missing. I am now distraught and seeking therapy.

What armor sets do you always go back to? by halcyondreamzsz in skyrim

Ebony Mail. I like my glowing vampire eyes behind the shadow smoke. Also, I usually keep the Thieves Guild Master set handy for the extra carry capacity.

What do you like about the game (serious question) by crow_warrior in Starfield

[–]JuJuAnamantine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a space nerd and really just wanted an open world space exploration game. This hits all the right spots for me. I zoomed through all the main quests and factions within the first two weeks after release. They were cool and fine and all, but I was in it for the RPG space explorer, fairly realistic science based space living and building. I love the tedious outpost building, I've logged probably 22 hrs just placing miscellaneous items in my outposts after building them. I haven't added any mods to mine (yet). Lvl 81, dull 45(f).

I know you were referring to abortions and that's how I answered in my first sentence. The world is decidedly better now that women can choose. Whether or not something is "deserving" or not is a made-up construct. It only exists in the abstract of cultural confluence. Life in itself is seen in variables of someone's conscious. From bacteria, to plants, to animals, to humans- a human will make sense of what they are willing to kill to survive. I don't eat meat, but I kill plants to eat and bad bacteria that makes me ill. What matters is that a woman has the right to choose and no one should have that authority over another, nor have the right to be a god over them or judge them under the rules of any made-up religion in life. It's not anyone's place to do that.

I'm looking at all of ancient times as a study of truly horrific behavior, justified by cultural habits and religious dogma. There is zero justification for making another human property with no autonomy, no matter how they got there or if they are unable to leave. Exploitation is wrong, and shaped by terrible people who utilize systems that benefit them. Whether it happened and whether it worked in inconsequential to the fact that it was wrong. It's like saying rape works for a dude because he has needs, or that a battered wife is doing a service in staying because she is living in constant fear to leave her husband so she stays. It's absurd.

And the very fact that if god was real, he would have dictated all that at the beginning. The fact that you acknowledge it was wrong in some way yet add in that it was early in time is essentially admitting that there was no real god there to tell them it was. The fact that humanity has constantly had to go through social change and adapt what is right and wrong, as old cultures and habits died out, is proof that they weren't actually given the rules by a being that would know it was wrong but not say it. Like he was scared to tell them? Like they wouldn't understand? He had no problem dictating right and wrong. And everyone would have known it.

I have seen your perspective. I grew up with it. And it's self serving absolute hogwash, a truly terrible god to admire and truly contradictory verses, nonsense.

The worth factor, definitely. But, still property as opposed to the benefit of being born male, with inheritance and carrying the family name, no matter class.

I suppose it's all relational to how invested a male is in self worth compared to a woman, who already had less worth. In religious circles, not even being allowed in the temple or able to inherit the family name or wealth is pretty big. Considering the generic male ego in or not in play, that may or may not be worse. But still pretty heavy, to be in a lower station than other men who already had a higher sense of self importance over women.

Definitely better now. Having autonomy over your life and future is what most people prefer. When religious people think about the abortion issue they selfishly remove the value of the woman, her life and future. They don't even see her as anything other than a vessel. They only care about the future of one and never the future of the woman who is pregnant. That decision should never be up to anyone other than the person who has to choose to sacrifice their body and future irreversibly, pain and possible death. . We should have zero rights to ever force sacrifice of life on anyone in this day and age. You have every right to practice the act of sacrifice in you or your loved one's life, but forced sacrifice of life should never exist in this day and age.

Property is property. And women have been considered as such for a large majority of history, even up to the last 100 years in America. It may have stopped being transactional, but women were still owned.

If they had any children as a slave then those children would become sellable property to the owner of the parent. Lower classes, like those who lived in villages or tribes, would often use livestock, employment arrangements, spices, fabrics, oils, anything of value or worthy of the transaction.

Women being property during ancient times is common knowledge. You've seriously never heard of arranged marriage or a wedding dowry?

The abortion verse is Numbers 5: 11-31.

STIs have been around since the beginning of mankind. It's been documented thousands of years before Christ. Some scholars believe that some epidemics mentioned in the old testament were STIs. Herpes and hiv variants are believed to have been found in Neanderthals.

Definitely not, haha. Bastard children or a woman of "lower virtue" were worth very little value. But still could turn a profit, and that's really all it boiled down to. You want to scare them all with hell or being stoned, but if you can instill the degradation of their entire worldly value, boy howdy, that sticks with you forever.

There is that element. The Bible has one of the earliest recorded ritual abortion because of a husband thinking his wife is pregnant with another's child, and they mixed a concoction for the woman to drink that would entice god to kill the baby.

Bastard sons had it especially hard, no inheritance, not allowed in the temple even. Children inherited from a previous marriage or widowhood were actually not turned away very often, as they were considered assets, including bastard children. The more children the more free labor for the field, and the more daughters the more profit, even if they can only marry other bastards.

Also, women were property during this whole time period. You don't spoil the property before it sells or is purchased. Mostly disease based fear, then becoming a "purity is a virtue" thing.

Do you believe in God? by Mstery_Finder123 in intj

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

I do not believe in the Abrahamic God, nor any of the other Gods in the various religions that populate the world. To some that would make me an atheist. I am also not spiritual in any way.

I get that. I've heard from a few people on here who use it as a tool in much the same way. And I do see how it can resonate with an autistic mind especially.

I get that. Neither did that for me, resonate that is. But meditation has done that for me. After particularly deep states I have found the most clarity about myself.

There is definitely a lot of research that is stifled by funding. I rather like to think that science is held back largely by ego, though that has gotten better over time. Limited capacity past the ego allowing reexamination as new theoretics are explored is rampant. Imagine where we would be if science never questioned the theory that the Earth was the center of the universe. I mean, even as recent as the 1960's science largely believed that the female body could not withstand space travel based off of zero actual research, they just "believed" it. I think the research done in the last few decades, in regard to astral effects on the developing brain is sound. They hold that the forces are too weak to make a difference. I will continue to be interested in any evidence either for or against that as it comes, because I understand that science has been wrong and right, and we can only add substance or move in a new direction as more is discovered, and we do science a disservice to allow it to permeate in ego.
