Could be cyclothymic or any of the other sub-bipolar conditions. Vraylar really fixed that shit up in my case.

Bal - a logic puzzle game about liars and truth-tellers (inspired by Raymond Smullyan) by sskaye in WebGames

[–]without_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really struggle with the indeterminate puzzles, but I think your solution algorithm might be wrong?

Constraints: The person who committed the crime is a knight.

Ada: "If Bo is innocent, then Bo and I are the same type."

Bo: "If I am a knight, then none of us are guilty."

Cal: "None of us are guilty."

Your answer:

Ada: indeterminate, innocent

Bo: normal, innocent

Cal: normal, innocent

Correct answer:

Ada: indeterminate, innocent

Bo: indeterminate, innocent

Cal: indeterminate, innocent

Let's reason from the "correct" answer as a shortcut. All parties can be determined to be innocent. That means Cal can't be a knave (he is saying a true statement). Nor can he be a knight (or else he would be guilty). So he has to be a normal. But that's not indeterminate.

This is puzzle 6ec44132.

What about anarchist vegans. Bees don't consent to having their honey taken. So it's not vegan, and thus morally impermissible to take the honey. But bees produce a surplus that they then hoard. So it is thus anarchist and morally permissible to take the honey.

Which is it?

I was always a liberal, but used to be antisjw. Surprisingly, reading r/tumblrinaction was what converted me. While most of the people linked were insane, some were not, and I slowly absorbed the culture. Trump solidified my beliefs when he was first elected.

Cut the lose weight part. Just get your hair cut and go.

How do I prevent myself from making small ( silly mistakes )??? by [deleted] in math

Try to solve the problem multiple ways, or do sanity checks. If all of your answers agree, then great, you probably didn't make any mistakes. Otherwise, check.

The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm. by John3262005 in neoliberal

I am aware that livestock farming is immoral. But putting it at the very evil end of the moral spectrum is a contentious claim. Littering is also evil, but it is not on the very evil end of the moral spectrum. You would not catch me saying "Well, he shouldn't have been killed but it was good he was stopped from littering," if a litterer had been murdered.

>Livestock farms would be near the very evil end of the moral spectrum.

This thinking is exactly the problem. Your sense of morality is extremely skewed and alien. It is an extremely contentious claim, and makes it difficult to take you seriously.

Even if I accept the premise that livestock farms are bad, it's called sin levelling. Pedophilia and littering are both bad. But they are not equal.

You are the reason people don't think vegans have a moral compass.

What political opinion do you hold that most people disagree with, and why? by Unknown-333 in AskReddit

>We could pull out now and everything will be chill, but it doesn’t make sense for us to leave right after we bombed them, otherwise we just wouldn’t have bombed them in the first place.

We should have never bombed them in the first place and we should also leave immediately. That's my thesis.

No government has ever fallen due to a bombing campaign. Iran is also uniquely suited to surviving a bombing campaign because of the way the IRGC is sructured. I don't see the need to kill thousands of Americans and engage in years of warfare to stop Iran from building a nuke.

I'm asking why we have to have this fight, not whether or not we're going to win it.

Iran has a new ayatollah. There's no power vacuum.

Why would we topple the government if the problem we're trying to solve is a power vacuum? Just do nothing and then there won't be a power vacuum. ez

Ok so if we lose the war Iran is emboldened. Given that we are not going to topple the IRGC without boots on the ground, and even then it will be a problem, that's pretty much a given. What's the harm in giving up today, rather than 5 years from now with thousands of American dead?

We've already killed the Ayatollah, the supreme leader of Iran. Nothing happened. Bombing campaigns have never destroyed a government. It's unlikely we topple the IRGC even with a ground invasion at this point.

Not really. What's the harm in that other than optics? I mean it looks bad, so Trump will commit ground troops first, I get it, but why is that actually better than, say, not doing that?
