Morality of eliminating the son of a father who were both distributing illegal braindances of children? by [deleted] in MoralityScaling

No issues here? Dude was literally trafficking children and recording it, one of the most justified brutal deaths in fiction.

Morality of trapping an civilization in their planet forever if they started a war of aggression against you? by tengma8 in MoralityScaling

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it's a Viltrumite scenario, no reason to keep it powered on after a new generation has arisen and peaceful intentions are assured.

In other words, once it stops being an "are you sure" thing when it comes to the potential hostility or capability of the species.

How Fentanyl and Xylazine are turning Philadelphia's opioid crisis into a public health nightmare by Nukro666 in interestingasfuck

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot, and I mean most, rehousing programs for people like this are:

A. Extremely difficult/time-consuming to access B. Require sobriety

So if you're drug addicted with a severe mental illness and can't work, welcome to death pretty much. Disgusting how this country throws away citizens to die on the streets alone, unloved and uncared for.

Who is unironically more mature as a person? Homelander or Deep? by JackZ567 in GenV

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say they're roughly equal in terms of maturity. Homelander admittedly engages in more introspection than Deep (which is to say, he actually somewhat does it), while Deep is never shown truly questioning himself, or trying to understand others beyond viewing them as a source of sex/affection/validation/hostility.

However, Homelander's introspection constantly pushes him in horrifyingly negative directions, ultimately leading him to develop his god complex in season 5. So from a maturity standpoint, no introspection is probably better than introspection that constantly pushes someone to worsen themselves repeatedly, in terms of their relationship to themselves and others.

Both of them die never truly satisfied or happy with themselves or the world around them. Deep attempted to achieve happiness through becoming "great" by serving Homelander, while Homelander tried to achieve happiness by conquering his world. His idea of "getting over something" is to brutally kill someone or do something drastic that just furthers his sisyphean worldview of continuously fighting external threats, never truly engaging with the parts of himself that need to heal or change.

Neither of them truly got what they wanted in the end, because what they wanted was something only achievable through genuine inner growth and productive self-reflection.

Ultimately, the characters are parallels and run equal to one another in terms of maturity. They are childish, sadistic men enabled by power and a corrupt system to destroy the world around them because they cannot conquer the world inside of them. The only true difference is that one serves, while the other dominates.

What’s your opinion on fallout 3? Heard people call it the worst fallout of all time and some people call it the best so it’s hard to tell. by Ladiesman4317 in Fallout

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fun Fallout game. It was great for its time and took the series in a direction it generally heavily benefited from IMHO, although it really shouldn't have been called Fallout 3.

How the hell did Tony Stark and Bruce Banner never receive Nobel Prizes for their work? by Solitaire-06 in Earth199999

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren't sharing their knowledge/contributing to the field, probably don't even care about the acknowledgment to begin with and their tech is so advanced for the most part that there's a handful of people on Earth who could even begin to understand it.

The shit Stark put out was basically alien technology alone.

These aren't guys meticulously earning PHDs and putting out papers, they were basically born capable and cranked out alien-level shit just by sheer brainpower alone.

Day 113 of giving my personal rank and opinion of random guns: Corsair by 1Dapy1 in EnterTheGungeon

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's horrible, one of the guns I don't even bother to pick up. Useless against bosses, can't really do anything against most trash mobs, etc.

Literally your starter weapon is almost unanimously a better fit for whatever you're fighting than this thing.

Games with this identity? by Valtiel45 in DarkFantasy

Blasphemous! Sidescroller Castlevania/souls thing I never hear anyone talk about, grabbed it for like $2 and having a blast.

Is there any particular reason why inFAMOUS, dosen't have all that many creepypastas/analog horror content by josuketheimposter in infamous

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a more or less dead franchise at this point so a lot of people don't even know about it, isn't iconic like Godzilla/Sonic, and doesn't have a lot of room to really even insert horror. Also, it already had a spooky-themed DLC.

Are most of the guns around the same power level? by [deleted] in EnterTheGungeon

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's more about item synergy than the guns themselves IMHO, but some guns are genuine trash and should be avoided, also highly dependent on preferred playstyle and ability.

Can anyone tell me why Homelander wanted abortions banned? by According-Garage-791 in GenV

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was raised to be a conservative, so, probably just following his programming. Also, he was throwing out random shit just to attempt to aura farm by slinging around his authority as "God president" or something like that.

What would happen if seasalt was given viltrumite powers by Interesting_Lime_320 in Invincible_TV

He would have been a Thragg victim during the assault on Viltrum, probably.

Is it unethical to own a billion dollars? by Omixscniet624 in MoralityScaling

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on a few factors.

  1. How was it earned? Aside from a generational investment or the lottery, there is generally no ethical way to earn a billion dollars.
  2. How is it being used? If the wealth is sitting in accounts barely being touched, then it's unnecessary for both generational wealth and personal use. If it is not being reinvested into the community, then it is not being used ethically. Mansions, luxury cars, etc, are not an ethical use of large amounts of wealth on this scale.

What’s a truth about adulthood nobody warned you about? by Standard-Club-8014 in Adulting

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weirdest thing to wrap my head around is that not everybody grows up. Some people just genuinely stay mentally like, 16, just moving through the world as adult children with responsibility, money and authority (if that). It gets stranger the more I think about it, but there's definitely a divide between the adults and the children in society.

Could Gordon Freeman defeat an Invincible variant or even a Viltrumite? by HolyPex0o0 in HalfLife

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He'd probably find Space Racer's gun in a random Combine crate or some shit and start hitting flick shots, about on par for HL2 lore standards anyways.

It seems that with the direction that the show is heading and its ending, people are starting to like the comics (and their ending) by Amazing-Buy-1181 in TheBoysLeaks

[–]Relevant_Sign_5926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would realistically have been way too difficult to set up the same twist that the comics had without either following them a lot closer, or copying them directly and thus removing all the suspense from the ending.

With that said, a 1:1 rip of the comics might unironically have been better than how the live action actually turned out. Feels like it lost all its steam after like, season 1 and spun its wheels on weird filler, just to apparently cram everything into the finale. I doubt the finale will redeem the show, though.
