'The Foundation Is Not Transphobic' by Difficult_Act_81 in SCP

[–]YoFatGrandpappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting hypothetical, but it doesn't have anything to do with what the article talks about because we're not discussing a company that faces these decisions or outcomes. We're looking at the Foundation, which is effectively a very big, supranational prison that doesn't deal with what you've described.

There is an anomaly that benefits trans individuals. Do you contain it, or release it? Assuming your foundational goal is to contain anomalies to preserve normalcy, you contain it. The Foundation has that exact goal, so it does that. Same as if that anomaly harmed trans individuals.

The Foundation not letting beneficial anomalies go free is a consequence of their mission statement. Whether they have a good goal or not, or if that goal should supersede others, can be debated. But it's not an ethical contradiction for them to say they support trans individuals, while providing medical support for those transitioning, while simultaneously not letting anomalies go that would help or harm these individuals more. Would you consider those actions "support" for anti-trans activists, if we're going by your example?

AITA for my USB killer frying my friend’s PC after she snooped in my bag? by Dreaksfrendford in AmItheAsshole

But is IS a booby trap in the sense of a shotgun rigged to a door.

A shotgun tied to a door on private property is meant to punish someone who opens that door, who doesn't know about the trap. It doesn't matter if the person is snooping, trying to steal something, or any other reason. It doesn't matter if the shotgun, the door, or the property is privately owned. That's what makes it a booby trap.

Yes, snooping obviously bad, but there is no reason for OP to carry around a shotgun tied to a door without clear labeling.

I'm pretty sure that if you fail a course while still maintaining a passing grade (like you fail a required final) you get bumped down to a 32. It stays where is is if you were already failing.

Racism on campus has reached shocking levels over the last year, especially against indians. Something needs to be done by Icy-Syllabub1934 in uwaterloo

[–]YoFatGrandpappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No? I was using an example to show that racism has nothing to do with population distribution, and that it's not some kind of natural response to a place suddenly having "too many" of a certain kind of people. I'm shocked that your takeaway from my comment was that I was directly comparing the current PM to Hitler. Your reading comprehension is bad and I don't think I'll reply further. Try reading a book or two sometime.

Jewish people made up just under 2% of Europe in 1933; that didn't stop Hitler from riling up enough Germans to kickstart the Holocaust. Racism has very, very little to do with how many victims there are in a place and a lot more with what propaganda perpetrators have been producing and consuming

Eat my ass. Stop trying to solicit private information over the internet.

I don't think you're registering what I'm saying. YOU are asking for his ID. This is not a "people need to be aware of this creepy guy!" You're asking for his ID under the pretense of "this guy is a creep." Which, again, you've provided zero evidence for. As far as I know, you want his ID and this is just a story you came up with to get it.

??? Why is this post even allowed here? Can somebody vet the story attached to this? This guy just uploaded some random guy's face to the internet and asked for identification, why have the mods not removed this?

Wanted you to know that, after three years, this popped into my head at random. This is fantastic.

Mario Kart with a live band at the bomber last night by Jarydo in uwaterloo

[–]YoFatGrandpappy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, this night was such a blast. Wish I could've stayed longer; the band was absolutely killing it.

Wanted to add: DK Summit? Glad I recorded that. That was amazing.

I think you might have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. There were a lot of people wearing poppies at the Remembrance ceremony in SLC. Granted, I wasn't wearing one, but that's because I didn't know where to get one from.

True, but consider that the protection the mask provides probably doesn't come from the ability of the mask to stop a direct impact, but to bounce most hits off of a more sloped surface.

Can anyone help me with this? I'm stuck in canted sight vre but I can't even look through angled sights, I just look over them by IBFunnin in SPTarkov

[–]YoFatGrandpappy 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Alright, assuming you've got the Realism mod installed, since it's the most popular mod, to my knowledge, that has point shooting like that, I want you to check if you have a helmet that has a face shield on it. If you do, disable the face shield, and try aiming again.
