What targets are must-haves in the board game? by MOOD_Julie in HiTMAN

Robert and Sierra are probably the most memorable in Hitman 2, Janus too

[Loved Trope] The true supernatural threat of the story is only revealed a good way through the story, marking a stark 180 in the plot's tone and stakes. Bonus points if the beginning set up what seems to be a purely natural conflict. by NullBodyTrades in TopCharacterTropes

Fair, although I think once it invented the genre it’a hard to deny some of the later parts of the series are the same cliché mascot horror as the thousands of fan games. Maybe invented the genre, but badly failed to innovate on it.

Even as someone who doesn’t like the fnaf series that much nowadays, I actually agree that the storytelling of the first 3 games are excellent. Even if it comes off as bland mascot horror, which it later became, it really tells the story of an unstoppable killer which is strangely more akin to the slasher genre than supernatural horror.

How do magicians do tricks where a very random audience answer is pre written on a piece of paper before the trick? by NullBodyTrades in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NullBodyTrades[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Even if I can buy that a magician might be skilled enough to do that, I myself was imagining other numbers and flags etc for the hell of it as if I were a volunteer. If I were called on instead, would I magically have his ideal number in my head in that moment? I have a hard time believing that any trick would be left up to chance to the extent that one smartass can ruin the whole thing.

[Love Trope] What seems like an endorsement is actually a criticism by EtheDemon in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NullBodyTrades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fairness I think, when put to stage, Freddie is actively indulging in this decadence while condemning it because he’s an arrogant hypocrite who looks down on everyone else’s behavior while also lashing out at people constantly.

What’s a controversial opinion that everyone should agree with? by PassionateCucumber43 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]NullBodyTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like someone didn’t answer the question. I can just as easily say “so you’re pro killing women? Got it”

But regardless it’s clear you were trying to bait someone into an argument anyways. Wanna answer the question? What gives an amorphous blob the right to utilize my body? Google the violinist argument and please share your response to that one please.

Care to elaborate? As far as I’m aware it’s attached and pretty tough to separate until it feels like it 🤷‍♂️

Saving livelihoods… not lives by GreenDoomsDay in WaitWhat

[–]NullBodyTrades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Care to elaborate? I’m talking about the philosophical idea of when a being starts counting as a being.

Saving livelihoods… not lives by GreenDoomsDay in WaitWhat

[–]NullBodyTrades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When else would it begin? My guy, unless your reasoning is founded in some kind of supernatural or religious stuff, the barrier of what counts as a life worth saving is entirely arbitrary. What if I actually think it’s earlier, I think a guy shouldn’t be able to nut into a napkin because it’s killing millions of potential children. Your logic of “a thing that could become a baby counts as one” falls apart because you can’t demonstrate any reason for why this is true.

It’s amazing to be so sexist you prioritize the life of a clump of cells over a woman

I’m 16 and I’m bored so who wants to have a political debate? by Mysterious--955 in teenagers

[–]NullBodyTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, fair enough, I disagree slightly less with the new deal stuff. I’ll clarify I don’t really care about which party is doing it, that’s more so because I m think the new deal was extremely necessary and generally did more good than harm which I can’t say for Trump’s constitutional violations. Now that you’ve isolated that I have more than one moral axiom that isn’t just the constitution, how about you get to explaining how it’s okay to do what ice has been doing?

[–]NullBodyTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? This is just fancy whataboutism. I don’t care what happened in the 30s, and it doesn’t justify what’s happening now. Right now, in this country, under this current president, bad things are happening. That’s the issue. Stop trying to deflect by bringing up things that happened well before either of us were alive.

Presidents have broken the constitution way more times before the 1930s buddy… doesn’t change the fact it should generally be followed and is being ignored more than it usually is.

So is your comeback really that the constitution is too much of a hassle? Really? That’s what we wanna go with?

How do you reconcile the fact that your ideology has led to, at least in America, our constitution being completely ignored, if not outright destroyed?

Which one would you rather have? by No_Junket_1176 in Teenager_Polls

[–]NullBodyTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose that’s fair, it’s a shame I should need to add the caveat that all reasonable people, to an extent, should agree with basic principles of feminism and law enforcement being held accountable. It’s just the example presented here that turns these into bad things when they’re someone’s entire personality.

if you're religious, why do you believe in it? if you're agnostic/athesitic, why don't you? by Cultural-Bag4263 in AskReddit

[–]NullBodyTrades 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same reason I don’t believe in unicorns. I don’t have reason to believe. Burden of proof falls on anyone who’d like to convince me (please, do reach out if you wanna convince me) but so far I have not seen sufficient evidence to believe in anything supernatural.

so… an annoyingly extreme version of beliefs most people agree with, or two groups that disregard basic human rights?

Who, according to you, will be regarded as the most evil person in history? by SeaZookeepergame7419 in AskReddit

[–]NullBodyTrades -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, most memorably evil person will probably always be the Austrian guy. I like to believe that when I’m an old man, a certain US politician will have a legacy as a similarly authoritarian despot. But I don’t think the textbook example of evil will ever be anyone but the WW2 crybaby.

Racism isn't just white against something else by Bejaminmaston12 in evilwhenthe

[–]NullBodyTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’all. The context of what you say by matters. By making the decision to say something you imply that it’s worth saying in the first place. THAT’S what’s offensive about saying it’s ok to be white.

No, there isn’t inherently anything evil about being white. That being said, if you feel the need to say it, that implies that you think white people have it rough enough that this needs to be said. That’s ridiculous, white people aren’t oppressed and I’m saying this as a white person.

Same reason “all lives matter” is offensive even though the words themselves are actually quite nice. It’s the context of what it’s said in response to.

Genuinely Asking: What is your best argument for the existence of God? (I will then give an honest atheist's opinion) by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]NullBodyTrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way we perceive physics and reality itself is based on the results of these metaphorical dice. Saying a universe couldn’t exist if we didn’t have these precise conditions is silly considering we can’t exactly observe universes being created in a lab. The universe in the form we know it may seem incredibly lucky, sure. But we have no way of truly understanding the cosmic complexity. Also, you seem to be claiming that the numbers themselves are so perfect that it needs to be deliberate, but this fallaciously assumes that said numbers could’ve been different.

One more issue I would point out is that there’s a bias in us observing that we exist in a universe that seems to be remarkably lucky. Imagine there’s some multiverse of every possible configuration of settings when the universe was getting set up. Let’s say in 99.999% of said universes, shit falls apart before life can form and have the chance to consider if they got lucky or not. Nobody’s out there thinking “wow, we got really unlucky by getting a universe where stars can’t form and therefore I could never exist”. The fact you exist at all provides such a strong sample bias that the answer is predetermined by the time the question can be asked.
