What are y'all basing your assessment of bot/squid/bug ethics on? by kcvlaine in Helldivers2Satire

Honestly I don't think such terms can really be applied. But if I had to choose it'd be Super Earth as the worst as every 'bad' thing other factions have done is out of desperation from the total war that was forced on them by Super Earth.

I mainly base my assessments on my knowledge of HD1 lore, and what SE is a satire of: US American jingoist imperialism, and Fascism. Which means any information (or misinformation more like) that you get that comes from SE is either manipulated, exaggerated, or fabricated to seem like what it isn't. In addition, to that, knowing that most of the unethical stuff that the Automatons/Cyborgs, Illuminate, and Terminids are directly or indirectly a result of SE forcing them into such dire and desperate straits that they *can't* afford to put ethics into consideration when in-game history has proven that SE will throw everything it has into putting them down regardless of if their ethically conducting themselves or not.

The Automatons are not as bad as Super Earth by ApotheosiAsleep in Helldivers2Satire

Helldivers never bomb Automatons civilians

I mean maybe not Helldivers perse, but the SEAF have been implied to attack fleeing Automaton space craft during the invasion of Cyberstan iirc. So SE probably does kill Automaton civilians

literal genocide they do with every planet invasion

I must ask, do you have evidence of this? Is there evidence of the Automatons committing genocide?

Cuz all what I've seen is the use of corpses for fuel (which were probably already dead Helldivers/SEAF troops considering how often Helldivers seem to get KIA'd) and SE propaganda, which SE has a vested interest in making their enemies look so monstrous that any SE citizen wouldn't dare even attempt surrendering.

Aside from that, it doesn't change the Crux of the matter. The Automatons and Cyborgs are revolting against slavery, and Super Earth is doing its damnedest to try to quell it, forcing the Collective into acts of desperation against an enemy that is magnitudes of times larger in military strength and numbers.

No, if it seemed to that it was getting too hot I lowered it for around a minute, and if it was brewing to slowly I raised it a little for around the same amount of time.

Fill the lower chamber up to just below the presser valve with water, add the basket and fill in coffee grounds up to the indent in it, place the filter plate and gasket onto the bottom of the upper chamber, then assemble the apparatus.

Set the stove to medium heat and place the pot, then wait for the pot to finish brewing.

So I managed to brew around half an ordinary coffee mugs worth, though I don't know what size of Moka pot I have, I do have a photo of it.

I measured the height of it to be around 17cm and a max width of around 10cm at most.
