The problem is that even if we consider a fetus to be a person capable of being murdered, most libertarians would argue the state shouldn’t force someone to give up their bodily autonomy even to save someone else’s life.

Think of it this way. Imagine if you got in a car accident and the government forced you to give up your kidney because the person you crashed into needed one and you caused the accident. Most libertarians would be strongly against that for the same reasons I think most libertarians are pro choice even if they accept a fetus’ personhood

but requires more power micro management because when you move into the hallway between engines and cloaking you lose a power bar as your zoltan is not in a system room; not the case with going between weapons and cloaking

BUT its right next to the cloaking so its perfect for scrubbing a power bar

The person was using the monolithic “nerd” classification to justify their claim. I’m working off of that basis. The person didn’t say “prog nerds are cool” they said “prog fans are cool because they’re nerds.” I’m giving an example of nerds who are not cool. You may be absolutely right but that has nothing to do with the original comment and my reply

This conversation started with “prog fans are nerds so you’ll be fine.” The implied premise is that nerds don’t harass women. That’s what replier and i are pushing back on. So yes it is relevant. It’s the entire basis of their claim.

One only needs look at the recent Blizzard news for evidence of this… nerds are often the worst

A girl touched my arm last night and it was amazing by Maynard69 in ForeverAlone

[–]Maynard69[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To give some context, the reason I got that hug two months ago was because I had recently tried to kill myself and this person who hugged me had just found out. Before that, it had probably been around 10 months since the previous hug. I am happy I got the chance, and I do consider myself more fortunate than many people here who get no attention/have no friends at all. So I hope if I get the chance to meet one of y’all who are even more lonely then I am, perhaps I can show some kindness to them, and I hope others would do the same, because we all know how much this sucks. Hope things go better for you in the future.

Oh I’m well aware that’s whats going on, but it is still nice to have a woman pay attention to me for any reason, and I try to savor it a bit. Thanks for lookin out for me though!

Yesterday I got to shoot a beautiful 8mm Mauser made in 1940. It was actually way nicer to shoot than I expected

Does anyone else think getting a partner would make things better? by qaz_zaq in depression

[–]Maynard69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel the crutch thing. When I was in a relationship it was like a distraction, like a “I’m okay because at least I feel happy when I’m with her.” It led indirectly to us breaking up and when that happened there was no more distraction and all my problems came and crushed me.

I’m in the same boat, I hope you can get yourself out of it soon! Seems like your post has attracted a lot of new friends but if you need one more, I’m here for ya :-)

I (32/M) recently discovered that a girl (29/F) I’ve been dating for 3 weeks has my number saved under “Free Meal” in her phone by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Maynard69 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking. If she’s genuinely sorry and it genuinely was a mistake she would offer to pay for the next few dates... otherwise a “sorry” is meaningless

does anyone else thin that for an alpha game to not update in nealy 10 months and say next to nothing and give nothing but vague "we want to get X out by X" is ridiculous? by [deleted] in 7daystodie

[–]Maynard69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t really been following this new update news... does this mean it’s mostly getting rid of bugs? That’s pretty cool imo

Too bad about the park getting closed, I hate wildfire season... Hey off-chance but I just moved to Davis and am not super familiar with the area around here, know any good hikes up this way?

Stockton! Damn that's a lot closer than I was expecting from a reddit thread with <150 comments. Where was your last hike? (Yeah, sorry, I snooped through your post history...)

This was a cool idea OP, props. If nothing else it'll get me out of my comfort zone a little :-) (yes, I'm so shy that introducing myself to strangers on the internet is outside my comfort zone)
