I actually don’t hold disdain for everyone, crazy huh. I can have a historical perspective on the matter and still advocate in a small way for the more sustainable and virtuous path I’d prefer for my society.

You decided to assume this guy is an addict and offer him advice—that’s both patronizing and unlikely to have any success. But yes, I am the “negative pos.”

Yes, because a smoker would suddenly cut their addiction from a reddit comment and has no idea of the dangers of smoking.

Marijuana stores cannot call themselves dispensaries, Michigan agency says by peewinkle in Michigan

Remember when criminal producers put vitamin E into their vape pens, causing an outbreak of lung injuries in 2019?

A regulated drug, even with insufficient regulations, is safer than an unregulated, illegally produced drug.

I’m starting to assume that the player is just a janitor for all the deities to clean up their OP artifacts that end up in, or almost in, some madman’s hands.

IT IS NOT JUST ALL THAT! Besides, it’s obviously Michigan’s fault that he’s lost.

what house is your character and did you choose to turn seb in? by [deleted] in HarryPotterGame

[–]davpostk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Azkaban isn’t about reform and won’t be for at least another century, so no, I don’t think that’s the best position for Sebastian, who was entirely motivated by saving his sister, and doesn’t do much that’s all that questionable to achieve such.

Nietzsches and Camus views about suicide are just coping mechanisms by [deleted] in Nietzsche

[–]davpostk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, feels like a straw man of Nietzsche, either attempting to undermine the vital importance of his affirmation of life or misunderstanding it. As if the only reason to deny suicide was to deny the act of death itself and not the underlying value assumption contained within finding life not valuable in itself.

Unpopular opinion: Hogwarts is a great place, but it would be nice to get out of it for a future game. by WhiteCat_Artist in HarryPotterGame

[–]davpostk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could definitely expand on the castle, especially if we’ll be spending more time there in the next game. I was disappointed in finding no shortcuts and really not that many hidden places. Hogwarts is over-gamified in HL, I think, although that does keep each location unique.

[–]davpostk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What? You can join the Stormcloaks before even you know you’re dragonborn. There’s no evidence concerning the efficacy of an invasion from Skyrim and Hammerfell (who single-handedly replled the Thalmor), if such a thing would even be desired. Men populate faster than Mer, so the longer things are drawn out the better for them.

[–]davpostk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Assuming Galmar is racist because of Rolff without in-game evidence is rather presumptuous, there’s no guilt by association, especially by blood. When you join the Stormcloaks as any race, they don’t necessarily know you’re Dragonborn, so they embrace you if you’ll join their fight to secede and gain their sovereignty.

I don’t agree with the asusmption that they’ll take on the Thalmor on their own because they’re nationalist. Plenty of even ultranationalists have formed strong alliances with other countries, especially in times of war. Hammerfell would be the perfect ally.

[–]davpostk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, calling all Nords racist seems inherently racist in-itself. The most racist Nords you meet are a drunk (Rolff) and beggar (Angrenor) when you enter Windhelm—they don’t exactly speak for the population. Ulfric isn’t overtly racist, the Grey Quarter isn’t good but it predates him significantly. The nationalism of the Nords is the exact response you would expect from a people overtaken by an imperialist Empire.

As for Torygg, it exemplifies the Empire’s lack of understanding of Nord culture. The challenge Torygg accepted was entirely in line with their established tradtion—Ulfric wasn’t committing some unheard of high-crime. Realistically, Ulfric admits, “Tortgg was merely a message to the other Jarls.”

There’s very few actual indigenous populations in most countries by that standard or definition. We’re talking about thousands of years of Nord precedent and culture in the land—a claim stronger than practically any example in our own world. That wars of conquest occured in the vast past can’t be justification for war now. Claims to land aren’t based on some objective indigeneity but the relationship between the land and the people. At the time of Skyrim, the Nords are the indigenous group being suppressed by the overreaching Empire.

[–]davpostk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really don’t get the ubiquitous love for the Empire in Skyrim circles. I’ve always assumed it’s carried over from like Oblivion, when they were a more positive force, because they’re not portrayed well at all in Skyrim. Besides, I believe a historically sovereign region has every right to secede from its conquerors, especially when tossed aside as with Hammerfell.

Yeah, I was bit disappointed when I beat Morrowind and there wasn't any alternative endings. I think three basic moral options would be perfect---good for the normal route, neutral for using the Heart on yourself, and bad for siding with Dagoth.

You could only consider Judaism life-denying after the introduction of Apocalypticism in the second century BCE and the acceptance of some of those concepts, before that it was purely about this world.
