But other people might make similar incorrect comments, better that your comment with the reply that makes a correction float to the top (for people who sort by upvotes). The best solution is probably editing if you have the time and upvoting the reply. Similarly I'll upvote something incorrect if I reply to it but downvote if I don't have the time to reply.

I don't think either is acceptable. But other animals have to accept it from us, and we would have to accept it from the aliens. Ultimately it would be up to aliens to determine what happens because they hold all the power, just as if other animals are ever going to achieve liberation it will be because of humans changing, not themselves, which is unfortunate.

Play however you want but I find your statement on player vs encounter power solely based on actions to be reductive. The power is definitely tilted in the player's favour this game.

I keep seeing the sentiment in this thread that if you go to prison you basically deserve whatever happens to you, which is a fucked up stance in itself, but more importantly:

Why do the cows, chickens, etc. deserve to suffer because someone is in prison? Does that make sense in any moral framework? How would you feel if we bagged random people not guilty of anything and forced prisoners to watch them tortured "on their behalf" as a form of punishment? That's pretty much the same situation ethically and everyone would agree it's fucked up.

What if you go to prison for taking pro animal liberation action?

This reminds me of the graphs from Brass Eye.

I wish people would be willing to put off eating all meat until we have lab grown stuff, like how most people are willing to put off eating human meat until we have lab grown stuff.

Haven't used a pillow in five years. Your spine is meant to be straight at night, so no pillow is the way to go. It is also helpful if you have breathing issues.

I get you, though I started playing early, only missing Selee's banner. I did some initial pulls on Jing's banner to try to get a foundation of units and accidentally got him before pity. Other than that I have only pulled for Silver Wolf and Luocha, skipping the carries. There are plenty of 4 star carries and I'm very happy running units like Qingque and Sushang, you only need 1 or maybe 1.5 damage units, so having a roster full of them would feel bad. I'm going to wait for Fu Xuan next.

My problem with Lae'zel is that she shares too many major story beats with Shadowheart. But individually they are good characters and we aren't spoiled for choice with 6.5 origin characters and a few more plot relevant companions. Her story works well for a Gith and it's good that we have a Gith companion option with how relevant the illithid are to the plot.

Except gender is a much less mature topic than sex and sexual attraction, something that should be taught around 5th grade if not earlier, before children have confusing feelings and their bodies undergo confusing changes. The media atmosphere already leaves impressions about sexuality in the minds of children much earlier, so there isn't much harm for parents or teachers to discuss the topic in a much healthier way.

Gender on the other hand is something impressed upon and experienced by even toddlers, so the topic of gender isn't all that mature, it's only treated as mature because of the social taboos regarding trans individuals.
