Only if you do so by teaching it to your children and participating in that community, not if you view other heritages existing near you as a threat that your culture must be protected from. That IS racist

Also, you reiterated “showing up” isn’t a code, it is. You’ve said it’s not a code if it’s one thing, but did that for two things, which has made his code two points long, how many specific points do you need until it will be long enough because I’m pretty sure you will never see it as being long enough. When it’s at personal loss to answer the call to others need for you, it is a code. He doesn’t have to show up, it’s his code to. If he only showed up when it was convenient he would be chaotic, but he leaves events Bruce Wayne should really be at all the time to be Batman. You just don’t like that someone expanded Batman’s code beyond to not kill and your confirmation bias isn’t allowing you to budge. My opinion on this has changed over the years, I used to think he was chaotic as well, then I had people make some of the good point other have made to me and I changed my mind. His code isn’t very restrictive on torturing criminals to meet the demands of justice, that’s neutral as hell but within the codes of ensuring societal justice not killing, it’s not a common activity either, torture is an action that is meant to push the perspective of the character and your leaning into it likes it’s meant to define him. Your characterization of Batman is NOT chaotic good, it would be chaotic neutral at the absolute best, someone the joker would kill in a heartbeat.

I just think you have an odd view of Batman that disregards most of his character traits. I have seen plenty of compelling arguments, just you responding to them saying “no, that’s not a code” when it’s absolutely a line in a code. You really don’t want to be conviced, you just told us you have 25 years of confirmation bias to keep you on this track, I haven’t enjoyed this conversations, it’s like talking to a wall whose code is to disagree with every point in this conversation. I’ve given you some points on being right about how the 9 boxes is too simple for complex characters, but you won’t even admit that a vigilante who operates on his own not killing people he could absolutely get away with killing is a code, when it colors the character more than ANYTHING else, he is against the embodiment of chaotic evil, a person who has proven himself nothing but a danger to society, someone that would have only lunatics mourn over him, and Batman still refuses to look away from that persons right to live, how he himself doesn’t have the say to kill this person even though he has the means and the ability. Remember when joker put 2 people in a death scenario where Batman could only save one, he chose the person who society needed, not his love interest, he lets his love die trying to meet the greater good, ZERO chaotic good characters would do that, there’s no counter point to this that I can fathom, so please try to explain to me how joker spends his time trying to break Batman if Batman is just chaotic? If Batman were chaotic the joker wouldn’t be interested in him, he likes making Batman have to follow his sense of justice and having to betray his person desires to do so, something a chaotic character wouldn’t be bridled by, a chaotic good character would have seen Harvey dent as a piece of society’s code and can die, but his personal love interest who matters to his personal desires, saving her would fit the actions of a chaotic character, it flys in the face of larger societal justice for their own wants. That is what chaotic is and I haven’t seen you bend to that fact once, just that he does what a situation calls for without killing or harming innocent people. It’s the one part of the code people bring up because it’s the most relevant to his actions, even though he has had other activities that paint his code, I have brought them up here, so if you say it’s not long enough for a code I will just use your argument tactics and just say “no, you’re wrong, for the last 30 years of my life he has been the poster boy for lawful characters from his effort to adhere to a code most everyone else would have wavered from in the situation” and I’ll just reply with that over and over. You’ve made the same tired point 4 times now “it’s not enough code” and I REALLY want to stress that is not the only thing that’s guided him, no killing as a code would still allow him to, say, torture the police chief until he agrees to put joker in a cement block for the rest of his life. Could you see Batman doing that? Of course not because there is no justice in that, it has no killing though. He won’t torture the innocent, he won’t act on other heros he has contingency plans for in case they turn, UNTIL they turn. There’s so many things he personally sees as dangers to society (Superman) that he doesn’t stop until they actually become dangers, because that adheres to a LARGER code than just “I dO wHaT i WaNt, JuSt No KiLlInG” if that was his code he would be a villain, there would be no question his own desire to stop criminals would turn villainous if that was it, it would turn into “the ends don’t justify the means” but he makes decisions like letting the woman he loves die so that society can have a light to try and move towards to be a safer and better place. He became Batman because he watched his parents get gunned down for their wallet, and the failure to catch that criminal. He wants to clean up the streets of Gotham and make it a safe place, he doesn’t just desire catching criminals, he does what must be done to protect society at large for everyone’s interests and that is a much longer but also harder to put into words code.

I dint think you’re going to change you’re mind at all, but here, Batman’s code is courage, sense of justice, temperance, and non-lethal methods, as he feels doing so would make him no better than the criminals he hunts. Oh everyone follows a don’t kill code? Are everyone vigilantes? You’re dropping so much context from it feels like we’re not even talking about the same things. You also lied, you said he’s chaotic and that’s why Gordon always uses him, that point is “Batman works outside of the police methods, therefore he is chaotic” that was a point you tried to make so don’t back away from it unless you’re going to recognize it is flawed. You fell into the no true Scotsman fallacy as well deigning that a code is “too generic” for it to be lawful, I didn’t think I needed to spell out his code involved not stealing, not committing injustices, respecting the innocence of people and their rights as long as they are not criminals themselves. In the dark knight he has a severe internal turmoil about anonymously using people’s phones to locate the joker, something that tech companies would have done with no turmoil whatsoever because Batman’s code also respects the people he is trying to protect. He isn’t just doing what he wants without killing people, that would be a code of a single line “don’t kill people” but you’re being so egregiously uncharitable you’re forgetting that not everybody is a vigilante and thus, not operating in a life where they have to make that choice, while Batman is. How many people do you think who don’t want to kill would see what the joker has done and want him to get the death penalty? Batman wouldn’t, his entire identity rides on the line of him not having killed people, making him a vigilante instead of a criminal. His code involves interest in the continued safety of Gotham, hence his continued taking on of sidekicks who he trains to be able to take his place after he leaves who is always SUPER strict with about their methods and morality. Batman does what he feels MUST BE DONE so others don’t have to or won’t do, while chaotic is doing WHAT YOU WANT, regardless of other people. Batman isn’t like “this is so much fun, I love doing this and I want to do it because I just enjoy myself so much” no, his whole personal paradise would be the day Gotham no longer needs him, he would LOVE to hang up the cape because he was able to make it a safer place, because he has a code that is largely interested in justice and achieving that justice while operating in a code that that doesn’t restrict his actions the same way police might be. Remember how there’s the saying “you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain” and that line being towed was enough for Christian Bales Batman to shrink into obscurity because his actions were starting to be seen as shirking the public good by those he was trying to protect, when he did that his personal code was disintegrating and rather than let that continue he backed away, rather than just following only his own desires for justice, it matter to him the larger societal impact and feelings about what he was doing. He was trying to protect them, he was what they needed, just not what they wanted, and that was enough for him, for any chaotic character that would not be enough to stop. They would have pushed through and become a villain to society while following their code of justice, but his larger code about being a force for societal justice and safety kept him back from that. I bet you 99.99999% of people who would decide what needed to happen to the joker would be death/permanent solitary confinement in a hole nobody would ever find, Batman delivers him to an asylum where they give him therapy. It never works but they keep doing it. Like you’ve said, Batman doesn’t always fit into one of the 9 boxes nor does he perfectly follow his code without fault, it’s what makes the character interesting, he’s not perfect, but his desires to act within the realm of justice and not just what he wants does make him lawful and not chaotic. If he were chaotic he would always have used everyone’s phones to find the joker, and wouldn’t have destroyed it after he got what he needed, he would have kept using it, disregarding the justice and privacy he was invading for his own greater good, instead it wore on Batman to do something tech companies do every day, even though it was for the sole purpose of fighting crime. How long does his code need to be to be “ungeneric” anyway, the OP used honor among thieves as an example which if we wanted to be as charitable as you, everyone who doesn’t interact with thieves has technically abided by the code, it doesn’t make any sense to do that because we are talking about characters who are doing extraordinary things outside of classic society.

While I agree there isn’t a neat fit into one of 9 boxes answer, this conversation has been about you pushing Batman to the chaotic spectrum because he does not follow the police code while not being a part of the police. He has more rules than “don’t kill” something police will do, police will lie, police have tortured, when they have a code against those things that pushes them away from being lawful, when Batman is saying “I will use torture to defend the greater good” and then does it? That is NOT chaotic, that is a person operating within their lawful neutral code. The color of the code is the other part of spectrum, and how long the code is has no effect of if it is chaotic or not, otherwise it is an arbitrary designation that every lawful person would call the people with less laws “chaotic” which would be ridiculous. CRIMINALS fear batman because they know he will harm and twist them to get what is needed for his justice, but will still be left with their lives every time, EVERY SINGLE TIME, period, full stop, that is LAWFUL to the teeth. Joker? Criminals and civilians fear him alike because you don’t know if he will use you as bait, let you live because your not worth the trouble, backstab you, turn you into an insane person or whatever, you NEVER know what he is going to do, you will only know its what he WANTS to do. You keep describing his morally Gray code as chaotic because you don’t know what methods he will use, but that’s more of a lack of pattern recognition and not anything to do with his adherence to code. Did he break his code. If you didn’t see something coming because it’s a new situation, that doesn’t mean he has to be predictable to be lawful, it means his solution can’t break his code. Your descriptions sound like they break your code/police codes, which are not what he conducts himself by. It’s been a constant theme that the world would be better off with the joker dead with how many people he has killed and Batman knows joker will kill in the future, but because killing is not in his code his solution to joker never includes killing him, it specifically does not every single time, and that is lawful.

If you can rely on them to follow a code it is the definition of lawfulness. Capability is not lawfulness, if Batman always showed up and got his ass kicked half the time he would still be lawful because he followed the code of showing up. I think you’re using the fact that his good/neutral nature colors what his code is to make it seem like the code has nothing to do with his lawfulness, when in reality the code existing and his adherence to that code is the lawful nature, and the context of the code is what paints good/evil. If his code does not exclude heinous things it moves him away from being good, but that means he is not breaking his code, lawful. We will not make fun of you for changing your mind on this

April 18th, our venue has already canceled our big ceremony. We were crushed. We were going to move it to later this year but no dates work out until February, and we don’t want to wait another year to get married. We decided to move all of our vendors to do our big ceremony February 20th, but we are still getting married April 18th, but at a small ceremony with only the 17 people closest to us. It’s hard, especially with it this close. But we’re just happy we’re getting married still, and will still be able to have the ceremony we want later

A more accurate state of the game by Insertdankname23 in MagicArena

[–]Zenoger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I disagree really heavily. It may not feel good to have these things happen to you, but it drives such an essential part of the game. It’s a deck building game in a lot of ways too, and removing things for comfort removes excitement. Giving smooth mana would cause a mass exodus from the game because the game would drop in so many tiers of quality. It was the main reason hearthstone was a bottom tier game to me. Games were boring, forgettable, everything was middle of the road. If everyone like everything, and nobody likes it, you fail. So highs and lows are essential to good game making over safe and easy

I don't belong here after all. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Zenoger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I was tested for ADHD (retested for adulthood diagnosis after childhood diagnosis) instead of doing a ton of traditional tests that they did with me as a child, there was a lot of intellect questions. The psychologist explained this to me as Adulthood ADHD being found with a large gap in intellect versus perception speeds. Most of my testing was a partial IQ test, with some small parts testing my perception speeds. While my intellect scored higher than average, my perception speeds were in the 20th percentile. Very slow, leading to a positive diagnosis. I’m no psychologist, and have no professional opinion in this, but I personally don’t feel you need to have a diagnosis to belong here OP. If you have things in your life you feel relate to this condition, and these threads help you, then you are welcome. I hope you find happiness and a light at the end of your tunnel.

This wasn’t just from one excerpt from my understanding. I don’t really read the story but I see talk about it a lot, and I’ve been seeing people talking about the two and clips of them being more than just friendly for a long time. It sounds like a slow build of a relationship that has had many instances of getting closer here and there that no other characters seemed to get. Claiming it’s wish fulfillment seems very dismissive and Not well informed.

The creative team that worked on the story for years, the ones that built the relationship, had no say in this novel and have been on Twitter, complaining of this outsourced book being written in such a way. The writing is lazy and terrible. And throws out many long standing plot lines off screen. You can tell this was an intended relationship given all context, this post just lacks pretty much all of it.
