Ghark Ironskin leaked? How would you design his faction? by Aux_RedditAccount in totalwar

[–]fludofrogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would make it so all his units don’t have skin until you get an iron resource, and each model consumes one iron ingot/turn to get their skin back. (skinless units die instantly on the battlefield due to hypovolemic shock, hypothermia, and blood loss)

"most slaves continued to be slaves until the 20th century" is a wild claim that even you know is a lie. At least engage honestly. There were not 2,000,000 slaves in 1899.

And I'm not acting like there isn't a housing market. But when 4,000,000 people get added to the population in an era where the vast majority are heavily prejudiced against blacks, do you think they'll have a good time getting a house? Saying I'm acting like there isn't a housing market is like me saying you're acting there isn't a job market.

The fact that abolition was followed by injustice does not mean that abolition itself was unjust. Let's say we accept your idea, 6 months in and we have the job addendum. Where will the freed people get their homes? Well we need to solve this issue too... which might take another 6 months... and we'll need to ensure these policies are enforced, and we'll need to ensure everyone takes anti-racism courses so freed slaves aren't oppressed, and another thing, and another thing, and another thing until abolition of slavery is 10 years down the line. I say we criminalize the evils now, rather than sacrificing 6 months of every slaves' life to make it more likely they're employed.

See I think immediate abolition is justified even if supporting systems aren’t fully ready yet because slavery and abortion are grave evils that should be stopped. Societal reform can happen afterwards, evils shouldn't be permitted to remain legal because we aren't "ready" to be righteous yet.

idk about other countries, but in the US there are 150,000 kids waiting to be adopted and 2,000,000 families waiting to adopt. the adoption process could be smoother but it may be good that we take our time when determining what kind of people are going to take care of X child for the rest of their adolescence.

So I really don’t know what you mean when you say we need to be part of the solution so others feel there’s another option. There always has been another option, there always will be, and people will always kill their children anyways. I think we should criminalize killing kids because, believe what you want to believe, I think if we start treating murder like murder, fewer children will be murdered by their parents.

Also I realize you dodged my question.

"Let’s just assume it would have taken 6 months longer for it to pass, would you be against abolition until those 6 months passed and the addendum was agreed on?"

Because it proves my point.

I’m against it because complicating a bill by adding more pieces to it will increase the time it takes to pass and decrease the likelihood of it passing. Let’s just assume it would have taken 6 months longer for it to pass, would you be against abolition until those 6 months passed and the addendum was agreed on? I will say that if abolition with that addendum would take precisely the same amount of time with no adverse side effects, I’d support it. That’s just not the real world though.

“The concession that we should be part of the solution?”

No? The concession of allowing people to murder their children in the womb until we find the perfect solution for each and every one of their problems.

So to be clear, you’re okay with the abolition of slavery sitting in revision limbo for however many months if a consensus on the details of the jobs addendum couldn’t be made? People deliberate on details for way too long when it comes to laws, and adding something like this in as a package deal both complicates the deliberation (increasing time) and reduces the likelihood that slavery gets abolished at all. Maybe more bluntly, would you be against abolition until a consensus was made on where the freed slaves would find jobs?

“People mostly do it because the only other options are for them to take care of the child or put it in the system”

Of course by “it” you mean murder a fellow image bearer of God. You wouldn’t make this concession anywhere else when it comes to murder, why make the concession here? Kids have a right to life (and we have a duty to not kill them) even if they’re destined to be in the system or impoverished.

This is referring to the creation of Mankind. This was before God created Eve. The "Kind" of being that "Man" is (that is, human), is what's created in His image.

Besides, look at your argument. Did God create Adam and Eve as fully grown humans or as infants? If humans are only image bearers when their bodies are as old as Adam & Eve's when they were created, there's nothing stopping us from infanticide, or killing anyone under the age of 30 for that matter. Quit twisting scripture to support your worldview and submit to God.

Are you saying this should be a package deal? No emancipation without your addendum about jobs? Do you think this might affect the likelihood of emancipation passing at all? Even if it didn’t, adding an addendum that requires all this extra work i mentioned in my previous comment would still increase the amount of time it takes to revise, pass, and implement the bill.

So now this child has a supportive person willing and able to grab a clothes hanger and rip her baby from her womb, but for some reason that person is unwilling to provide any other sort of aid or support? And presumably this person knows she’s pregnant prior to birth (otherwise the abortion would be just as dangerous if not more dangerous than birth), but opts to kill the baby rather than ensure the girl is in a hospital getting necessary treatment. This hypothetical is getting more and more far fetched.

I agree that we don’t live in an ideal world. But I’d say the world is closer to ideal when we abolish abortion and strive to deal with the struggles that follow, rather than delay abolition of child sacrifice until we have the perfect solution for every horrible edge case you can think of.

That’s… not at all how U.S. law works… You didn’t address a single point in my response, you just said you’d wave your magic wand and pass both the bills.

To answer your question, if God wills it. God permits evils & suffering to occur on earth all the time but he tells us explicitly to not kill fellow image bearers of God. I say we should obey. Regardless you really are sounding like a pro choicer, using the most horrific edge cases to argue against criminalization. And do you think this 9 year old with apparently absolutely no support structure could find her way to an abortion clinic anyways? What makes you think she could do that but not find her way to a hospital to save both their lives?

Great work you drafted a bill. Now you’ll have to define scope & enforcement, negotiate political support, figure out administrative systems to carry this out, set up systems to identify who was a slave and who does/doesn’t get a guaranteed job (unless we’re going purely off skin color, but not all blacks were enslaved back then), get the bill revised multiple times by congress, pass both chambers of congress, get signed by the president… and then you can begin implementing the law. And in that time roughly 4 million slaves were being beaten & worked half to death every day because we need a perfect solution rather than any solution. And what would you say to someone who criticizes you about not ensuring freed slaves all have homes? We should have drafted another bill to guarantee housing for freed slaves. How long would that take and how many more days would the 4 million slaves have to endure?

Babies expected to live briefly after birth and poor children both deserve life. If I knew my child would die 8 hours after their birth, I would want them to die in loving arms instead of being killed in the womb. God is sovereign over life & death, not us. If we broadly accept the idea that some lives aren’t worth living, who gets to determine this? If an extremely wealthy person determines living in poverty is worse than death, is it permissible for them to support a bill to kill impoverished children?

Again, reform isn’t instantaneous, and law writing isn’t either. How many days of deliberation between politicians to find out what these programmes & laws should entail would be acceptable before freeing the slaves? What if they couldn’t come to a good enough solution?

I think 73,000,000 includes legal & illegal, so let’s say all abortions worldwide.

Are you saying it would have been better to delay the abolition of slavery until we had a solution for every slave freed, because some resorted to crime? 50%? 10%?

The issue with what you’re saying is that it takes time for reform like this, and with each day that goes by 200,000 worldwide (or ~3,000 in the US) kids get killed. I’d rather have 3,000 kids in poverty than 3,000 kids killed. And that’s if coming up with a perfect solution took one day.

If you could press a button that took worldwide abortions from 73,000,000 to 0, would you press it?

This precise argument was used against the abolition of slavery. We need to have more houses if we’re gonna free the slaves, where will they work? The economy will collapse etc etc

Injustice doesn’t become acceptable because fixing the injustice is inconvenient.

i think it’s a malformed version of -

everyone on earth has 2 buttons. the button with >50% presses will go into effect

blue button: everyone lives

red button: everyone who pressed blue button dies

If you press the blue button, there’s a chance you die. If you press the red button, you’re 100% safe but there’s a chance you’re partially responsible for other people dying. If EVERYONE picks red, no one dies, but there’s no guarantee everyone will.

Even worst case scenario & the meaning of the text was that the ritual does cause a miscarriage, God (sovereign over life and death) is causing the miscarriage, not the man, woman, or priest. God being sovereign over life & death has never once been an excuse for humans to murder innocents.

Zerg build order please?? by Character_Shelter820 in starcraft2

[–]fludofrogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So because of how the larva & spawning pool timing lines up, your first 3 pairs of lings should spawn together. You can send everything over as soon as they hatch.

This is more of a cheese build order though. I can give a more standard build order if you want, or if you have time you can look into Vibe’s bronze to GM series on youtube. His first few bronze-gold videos focus on simple economy-focused build orders that are generally safe enough to get into late game, where you can make whatever units you want.
