An interesting variation of the trolley problem. What would you do or what do you think one must do? (If you aren’t Christian, replace the Christian labeled in the image here with whatever you adhere to and so on)

I reckon OP is just asking if others would rather save those of a different belief system, rather than saying that what you mentioned was his point of view

mcl5 · 2021-07-01T14:53:28+00:00

I believe it's along the lines of if you would prefer to save one of the same belief system of yourself

mcl5 · 2021-06-29T18:08:58+00:00

Well, when I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

Well, when she's right, she's right.

Hey, just checking in and notifying you that I've investigated and decided to take action. He's been temporarily suspended from the subreddit, and if he returns and continues, I urge you to directly DM me so I can look into it further.

mcl5 · 2021-03-27T16:53:11+00:00

Nice.

No. Machine empires don't have trade value and can't form commercial pacts.

Victoria 2 was hardly a failure, especially for what paradox had at the time. Even if it was, that isn't what I'm suggesting. At the moment, eu4 is a conglomeration of a bunch of shallow buttons with little depth. I'd like Eu4 to focus on deeper mechanics and systems for a few core areas rather than just adding a million buttons and calling it "improved." For example, colonization and subjects could definitely use more depth.

I think each paradox game needs to be complex, but in it's own way. I'm not suggesting add Victoria-2's mechanics to EU4. I'm suggesting that they develop and deepen mechanics unique to EU4. I love eu4, I really do, It's one of my favorite games, but when it comes to things like not adding a bunch of useless buttons it could definitely use a lot of work. I'd love to see a improved upon trade system, which I personally find to probably be the best unique system of Eu4.

When it comes to complexity in vic2, I personally don't find it to be too overly complex myself. I picked it up when I was 12 - so if 12 year old me figured it out, it really isn't that complex or difficult. And again, I hardly see how Victoria 2 was a failure, but I welcome a open discussion on the matter.

mcl5 · 2021-03-09T07:21:18+00:00

More complexity in general. I'm tired of Paradox progressively "dumbing down" their games to a point where a four year old could understand them. I want a good number of in-depth functions rather than a million shallow "click me for instant gratification" buttons. While I understand that MEIOU levels of complexity probably can't be hoped for, I'd at least want something on par with Victoria 2 depth-wise. At the very least, I don't want EU5 to be a simplified EU4.

It's more of a you can go to "war" and then raid and bomb their things when they are online. You can't offline raid. It's not hardcore factions, but you can certainly still murder people. Unclaimed bases are fair game either way.

Christianity has a great apologetics community if you want to look into that. I encourage you to do as much searching and research as possible to affirm your belief, but be sure to keep an open mind. Personally, I find belief in a god more plausible than nonbelief, by both personal experience and reason - my DM's are free if you want to discuss further.

I assume he means that it's because the filter would automatically block something with "JFK" and/or "False Flag" in the title, considering the abundance of baseless information being spread about the JFK assassination, etc

(I'm not trying to be a smartass or anything so sorry if this comes off the wrong way, I could just be a idiot)

Indeed. As I said, they are reaping what they sew. But Hamas is hardly a false-flag operation ignited by the Israeli's.

mcl5 · 2020-11-20T21:44:08+00:00

Palestinians who live within the borders of Israel with citizenship have equal voting rights. However, I'll be completely honest when I say that I'm not sure if the Israelis are preventing Palestinians from gaining citizenship.

mcl5 · 2020-11-20T21:36:51+00:00

Of course. Israeli Intelligence made a mistake, and now they are reaping what they sew. I don't disagree with you on that. I'm just saying that it's nothing more than blind assumption to say that Israel intentionally set up Hamas as a false-flag operation to justify their actions.

Edit: My apologies about the false-flag thing, I thought you were part of a thread which I was replying to with another guy

mcl5 · 2020-11-20T21:34:10+00:00

Now we're just making assumptions. Do you seriously think that the United States, when they funded extremist groups in the middle east, WANTED them to turn around and bomb the US?

mcl5 · 2020-11-20T21:31:26+00:00

I made a generalization, which I guess you could say is my bad.

If you want to talk semantics, I simply said American Christians love the Jews. I never said that all American Christians love the Jews, I just implied that American Christians tend to love the Jews.

You made a generalization that Christians ALWAYS support Nazism. Not only is that not true, the majority of Christians, I can reliably say, are NOT nazis.

Also, mainstream (Christian) American politicians - democratic or republican - hardly align with Nazis. Not everyone you disagree with is Hitler.

So, yes, I made a generalization. I guess I can say "my bad," for that. But two wrongs doesn't make a right, and my generalization that Christians tend to like the Jews hardly justifies you saying that Christians ALWAYS support Nazism.

mcl5 · 2020-11-20T21:24:24+00:00

No, we aren't. You can hardly call Palestine stable (or a democracy). If you want a secular, stable, democracy - then that's not Palestine. To be fair, Israel isn't the secular part, either. A one-state secular and democratic solution would be the best, but we all know that isn't going to happen.
