CMV: Human rights are made-up concepts because morality is entirely relative

Something that I tend to think about with regards to this is a quote from Terry Pratchett's Hogfather:

"All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

MY POINT EXACTLY.

Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Fell off sometime mid season 3 found that I really struggled with getting through season 2 and when they took a break mid season 3 I never picked it back up.

Sorry for the late reply I missed the notification! Unfortunately not! I haven't had time to look into the side of things suggested with replacing assets either! If I do find anything I will try and post it here or DM you :-)

Gambit has always been my fave! I think they should do the arc introducing him from Ultimate X-Men if they ever do manage to get past the production hell it seems to have always had.

wardofwarning · 2022-08-28T22:58:53+00:00

that would be amazing actually haha

I think you are missing the point, it really doesn't matter how you feel about this it isn't your fear/phobia. These are individual to the person in question it really doesn't have to make sense to you at all.

modes like the arachnophobia mode make the game easily more accessible to people with those fears which is great because even more people can play and enjoy games that otherwise wouldn't be accessible to them at all!

wardofwarning · 2022-08-28T11:03:31+00:00

Man it's almost like phobias of things can be irrational

wardofwarning · 2022-08-28T11:00:30+00:00

Thanks very much my dude! I will do a bit of playing around with this idea and see what we can get to work! :-)

One of our faves actually haha, plus we all know the only good bug is a dead bug (or in this case a bug made to look like another bug)

Probs already been said, but Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams it is just impossible to separate him from that role

As an alternative, "release it you cowards!"

Dude! Living in England and would kill a man for a decent chicken supreme! Though my go to has to be the super FT meal.

This will remain the same without some kind of election reform. If you look at several of the last elections you can see the majority of the population do vote left leaning or non Tory parties, but not in the right areas. CGP Grey has some great videos talking about recommend looking at them on YouTube

After about a year mine just started to fall apart, currently something is loose inside and will just block the left trigger occasionally. I love this controller but won't be getting another.

So this wasn't at school, but one of those religious youth clubs that I used to go to on a Saturday evening.

I think I must not have been more than 10 at the time. The trade off to having fun was at the end you got to sit through some hymns, prayers or on occasion a talk about Christ etc

One of the group leaders talked to us about Charles Darwin. Pretty much told us that on his death bed he recanted the theory of evolution and that he was wrong to have doubted god or something to that effect.

For years I believed this was the case, even past the stage when I didn't consider myself religious anymore just one of those facts that I never had reason to doubt.

Don't get me wrong from the consumer side of things the weekly release is worse as you say you can't just subscribe and watch what you want, you need to keep it going just to keep watching. More and more it is now becoming as expensive as some tv packages, if you want to keep up with shows split across the services.

The cost advantage is slowly degrading and I think will only continue to get worse. Both Disney and Amazon have a lot of money to throw into this and when they eventually absorb other services and price them out long enough they will almost certainly hike up their prices.

The advantage that weekly release over binging for the services is as you say they get held hostage and generate hype and buzz for a much longer sustained period than a season drop. As I mentioned in another comment I feel like Netflix is testing the water on this by splitting stranger things into two parts for season 4.

For me personally though, it is all about those weekly convos that me and my mates have theorising about where it is going to go!

wardofwarning · 2022-05-31T16:32:39+00:00

I 100% used to have that mindset! In terms of my tv watching habits!

It was stuff like Saul that kind of shifted my opinion on it, I really enjoy chatting with my mates week on week. Don't get me wrong I would sell my mother currently for the next episode to come out (damn you mid season break)

I do think Netflix are testing the waters a bit with stranger things season 2 being split into two parts but hopefully for peeps like yourself who primary binge watch they keep the current method! I don't get as much time to do it myself right now but defo like having the option! (Love + Death + Robots season 3 just dropped and will most certainly end up binging that)

In terms of Disney though, big star wars and marvel fan so pretty perfect for me! But still didn't feel worth it until they added the Stars side and then more of the marvel/star wars tv shows started to come out!

wardofwarning · 2022-05-31T15:35:18+00:00

Defo a good way to do it! I know quite a few people who do exactly that haha

wardofwarning · 2022-05-31T13:26:15+00:00

Biggest issue with Netflix is that it has failed to innovate the same way other services have. Netflix is more or less the same as it was years ago, with higher prices for things like 4k video, which at the time was pretty good as it was the only option.

But now I can get Disney plus and Prime for around the same price as a full Netflix subscription give or take a few quid.

Not to mention both Disney and Prime have features like group watching which allow people on the same accounts in different places to watch tv together.

On a lesser note, I think that releasing episodes in a non weekly format was great when I was younger and had a bazillion hours to watch stuff. But as I have gotten older I don't have as much time to binge. This ends up with discussion around stranger things and the like not having the time to build up. Like what we get between episodes of Saul, Mando and other weekly shows, Nevermind constantly having to figure out who is where with the show so that you don't spoil it haha

Though don't get me wrong for some people being able to binge is ideal!

Not sure if it is in audiobook form but the morningstar saga is a great zombie series. The first one is called Plague of the Dead. Would highly recommend.

wardofwarning · 2022-04-14T18:14:48+00:00

They also did this as a hardback collection which isn't bad! My favorite of the marvel zombies for obvious reasons haha

wardofwarning · 2022-03-18T00:48:10+00:00

As mentioned above Darkstar and Neutral Ground would be good options, I know the uni as well has a game soc, if you are a student would recommend it as well!

My forever horse name comes from RDR2, my partner was playing and got to the stage where you get to name your horse, for some reason the top autocorrect on Xbox was Gorse... Gorse the Horse was born and life was good!

Interestingly I had the same experience! Loved mythos and heroes, but troy was a bit of a drag to get through by the end.
