  • It's about to get real nerdy in here.

  • Unlikely since he appears in the recent trailer where Samus has upgraded armor along with several other federation pals. There's also a log entry for him alongside 5 empty spaces, indicating you'll need to do this rescue/escort thing with 6 different NPCs throughout the game.

    Jump

  • Early previews of Metroid Prime 4 prominently feature a companion that you rescue in the first area, who tags along for a large portion of the playtime. He makes dumb quips: "It's about to get real nerdy in here", screams when enemies appear: "Is everything on this planet trying to kill us?", states very obvious things: "missiles work better on enemies with hard shells" and nags you about what to do at any given moment: "You want something to shoot? Try that piston".

    He's also an escort that you need to protect or you get a game over.

  • The industries that I choose not to financially support do, hence why I don't support them.

  • There are also moral virtues.

  • I disagree with your line of logic then. Something doesn't need to be a moral duty to be moral. It's not a moral duty for a poor person to donate to charity, but being charitable is a moral act.

    Similarly, you can probably point to edge cases where the following line of logic cannot be applied broadly due to people's circumstances.

    For me personally,

    1. Livestock animals are sentient, they display a preference to live and be free from suffering and confinement.
    2. I do not need to purchase animal products to be healthy and happy.
    3. In the absence of necessity, intentionally confining, harming and killing animals is not morally justifiable.

  • How could I agree or disagree if I have no reasoning for your position? You made the claim that veganism is amoral, that's an uncommon and interesting position. I'm curious about your reasoning.

  • You keep making claims without elaborating on them. If you just don't want to talk about it, that's cool.

  • Are you saying that morality does not factor into how humans treat animals?

  • What's your ethical argument for not being vegan?

  • YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.

    Jump

  • The top two stick to the back of the phone and provide a rubber cover for the USB c port. Everything else either scrapes away debris or wipes the port clean with isopropyl alcohol. Bottom right appears to be fashioned from a zip tie and probably didn't come in the kit.

  • Help me out here then. You said being vegan and not being vegan are both ethical choices, like the trolley problem.

    In the trolley problem, an ethical case can be made for pulling the lever or not, so I thought you were saying an ethical argument could be made for both being vegan and not being vegan. I was curious to hear your argument for the latter.

    Can you elaborate on what you actually meant?

  • What are you confident you could win an argument about?

    Jump

  • Curious to hear your explanation for how being non-vegan can be more ethical than being vegan. I've heard some people make interesting cases for this, by the way, but I've yet to see one that can be practically applied as an alternative to our current food system.

  • What comic run would you recommend that best illustrates this? My comment was more of a joke about ethical billionaires and capital worship, but I am genuinely interested in this angle if you have suggestions.

  • Batwerp

    Jump

  • This is a 100% fair criticism of my comment tbh. I do have a pretty surface level understanding of Batman, and I let my real life frustration with billionaires inform the points in my comment. I'll take it easier on Bruce Wayne but fuck all other billionaires.

  • Let me get this straight; this guy was born into the richest family in Gotham. He has enough wealth that he can singlehandedly fund infrastructure changes, public healthcare, mental health resources, social services and rehabilitation. Instead, he uses his money to dress up like a bat so he can beat the shit out of people - and he's supposed to be the hero??

  • Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

    He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

    He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

    Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

  • The actual answer is that faceless pawns make better canon folder villains because it's less likely the audience will relate to them as actual people in the context of the narrative. The in-universe explanation is that faceless pawns are better foot soldiers for the empire because it's less likely said empire will relate to them as actual people.
