| Sahuagin 07/21/21 11:20:25 PM #159 | adjl posted... Fundamentally, trans acceptance means expecting opposite-sex nudity wherever same-sex nudity is expectednot convinced of this, but I think it's too dangerous to argue further. adjl posted... There is, however, no intrinsic basis for that normthere are definitely biological and psychological reasons for that norm. it's not arbitrary. it depends how far you're taking "intrinsic". if you take it all the way to nihilism, fine, there's no intrinsic basis for anything in our culture. but that's ridiculous and destroys morality as a concept. and regardless, the norm exists, and we know it exists, and we know what we can and can't do in that sense to offend (harm) others. morality is about coexisting with other people and if other people don't want to be around nudity, then you honor that. at least at this moment, I am of the opinion that it's other's right not to be exposed to my nudity; it is not my right to be able to expose others to nudity against their will, in basically any context. even in a situation where it would be normal/excepted, it's still a discomfort and something I would apologize for. --- |

| Topic | Is the spell demi only in final fantasy games? |
| Sahuagin 07/21/21 12:45:02 AM #12 | it's not an easy spell to balance is probably why most games don't use that kind of ability. I think FF goes with the idea/irony that you can potentially deal a LOT of damage with it, but at the same time can't really kill anything with it (the ultimate in diminishing returns). but then to "balance" it, like with most spell effects, FF just gives complete immunity to 90% of enemies. (FF really needs/needed a saving throw system or something). --- |

| Sahuagin 07/19/21 1:32:02 AM #151 | wolfy42 posted... Obviously that is the entire point of defining it, based on junk.the rooms are segregated based on gender, not sex. I have no idea if that's right or not, but that's how it is. my position is basically, organize the rooms however you want, just tell people how you're organizing them. for a person to end up in this situation, it means that that was not clearly conveyed, which regardless of right or wrong, should be something we want to avoid. --- |

| Sahuagin 07/19/21 12:53:50 AM #149 | adjl posted... The question is whether or not it's reasonable to be upset by naked trans people in an environment where naked people are expected. It has everything to do with trans people and everything to do with whether or not they're being accepted (and, in turn, to their suicide risk).no because the issue would still exist if a woman entered a unisex spa without realizing that there would be male nudity. trans is not the problem at all. being able to enter a situation with opposite-sex nudity without realizing (or wanting) it is the problem. adjl posted... Spongebob tattoobecause there is an implicit agreement between people that they will generally not be exposed to nudity without their consent, even to the degree that in the majority of environments it would be illegal to do so; whereas there are no such generally accepted rules regarding random cartoon characters. (this is of course due to the sexual-related nature of nudity, even when it is not explicitly sexual). (and consent to be exposed to female nudity is not consent to be exposed to male nudity and vice-versa.) adjl posted... not anything inherently immoral about nuditynudity is not intrinsically immoral, nudity without consent is, which you just glossed over adjl posted... If that shocks youit's not that it shocks me, if that's your position that's your position. if it's not clear, I'm not going to say "omg everyone, adjl thinks <thing>!", I will only take into consideration what you're saying and see if I should update my own thinking likewise, or not --- |

Trying to compare a spa (where people go to intentionally be naked) to an elementary schooljeepers. that's not an argument, it's a hypothetical (IE I haven't concluded anything); I'm only inquiring as to the limits of adjl's position that nudity is morally neutral I didn't say an elementary school I said elementary-school-aged, as in the OP the whole point with this is that I might be wrong, but I have to figure out where and why. or at least understand where the core difference in our positions is, and then agree to disagree if there's no budging from there. --- |

| Sahuagin 07/18/21 2:54:50 AM #16 | I guess I missed the part where you said _not_ play first Red_Frog posted... I like Inquisitor. Maybe because I do like the world of 40K, but don't generally have a taste for the games and this one is just closer to my interests than most. I bought the whole thing in a sale after getting the base as a GwG.it's not terrible and has its good points. I played through both parts and enjoyed it well enough. pros: pretty great WH40k lore; I was the male psyker and really liked the voice actor; the combat is at least somewhat enjoyable; the story, setting, and atmosphere are all pretty great cons: a lot of the voice acting is not so great; the itemization is pretty lousy; everything is kind of a "not that great" version of diablo mechanics; difficulty can be arbitrarily changed at any time so the game doesn't really feel challenging; a fair bit of "microtransaction" style mechanics; the level design is extremely dull --- |

| Sahuagin 07/18/21 2:22:29 AM #137 | good god adjl posted... So give me a reason. Demonstrate how/why nudity is not inherently morally neutral.to be clear, it's exposing someone to nudity against their will that is immoral. nudity in a vacuum is amoral without someone to view it. adjl posted... being weighed against the profound psychological benefit of accepting trans people as their target genderbeing weighed against? it doesn't even really have anything to do with trans. ideally a person should not be able to enter a situation where they will be exposed to male (or female) nudity against their will. adjl posted... So replace "transphobe" with "somebody that really doesn't like Spongebob."well if you're really stuck at "subjecting someone to nudity against their will is morally neutral" there's no sense arguing at a higher level. adjl posted... Saying "I think it's great that you're so obviously different from everyone else here! We're going to publicly announce that people that are so obviously different from everyone else here are still welcome here so that anyone that does have a problem with how obviously different you are knows not to come see how obviously different you are!" is not acceptance.so should I feel offended for having to use the mens' room and not the ladies' room? adjl posted... just a lady getting uppity because she's convinced herself thatthe problem here is that you are making yourself the arbiter of what other people should and shouldn't find... I want to say "offensive" but it doesn't even have to be that. the person in question here is pro-trans, but just didn't want to be around male nudity with her daughter. a person has a right to be able to choose to be around male nudity or not. the fact that you are basically arguing here that "there is no particular reason to warn people, including parents with young children, of the presence of male nudity" is frankly a little nauseating. (and actually it's worse than that, since you're demeaning the person on top of that.) I want to ask "is exposing yourself in public" at least wrong, but I guess I already did and you gave a non-answer. so are you really saying that it would not be wrong for random adults to go naked around elementary school age children that they don't know, for non-sexual reasons, and without the consent of the children or their parents? --- |

| Topic | Wikipedia Founder says DON'T Trust the Site because LIBERAL MODS Took Over!!! |
| Sahuagin 07/16/21 2:15:56 AM #7 | dunno about left vs right (other than yeah, wiki leans a bit left), but I learned from experience "the bias inherent in the system". there are pages that are "guarded" by people with agendas and they will do anything to defend opinions that they want represented on those pages. and not something all that political either, this was about XML Schema. some crazy guy was posting anti-XML opinions on the page that were clearly a violation of NPOV (neutral point-of-view) and NOR (no original research) (including posting model images that contained swearing like "look at this shit"), but because the guy guarding that page was biased in favor of XML criticisms he refused to accept that statements like that were non-neutral and constituted original research, so I was 1v2 on trying to remove it. the guy even reported me to admins, who thankfully just said "what are you talking about, he's basically right" but didn't do anything more than that. --- |

Can everyone who played some of the old genesis titles like dynamite headdy, Kid Chameleon, Gunstar Heroes, Ristar, Vectorman, etc. agree Sega could bring back some of those characters if they want to be good again?maybe but the gameplay would need to be the focus, not relying on the presence of the character to sell the product by itself ending up with an otherwise shallow game. Kid Chameleon for example, it would be easy to slap a "Kid Chameleon" skin on a game, add some game mechanics that sort of resemble the original, but completely miss what was unique and interesting about the way the game played and felt. --- |

| Sahuagin 07/14/21 11:26:06 PM #133 | adjl posted... If you're discussing the morality of something that is morally neutral, you can only ever make neutral statementsyou're just saying "it's morally neutral so it's morally neutral". you're starting with a moral conclusion and pretending that that's the starting point. adjl posted... It has a degree of wrongness,that's almost all I'm looking for but whether or not that wrongness justifies demands to stop doingno, doesn't necessarily need to go that far. maybe, justifies the intuition that we'd rather not do that if we can avoid it. adjl posted... Again, I bring up the full-body Spongebob tattoo.ok, "a situation she was not expecting and would have avoided if she had had the option and been informed about the situation" adjl posted... Does that mean a person with such a tattoo shouldn't be permitted there?I don't ever recall saying anything about the person not being permitted to be there. I have repeatedly said that the woman should have been made to understand the situation. adjl posted... Well, there is that whole thing where trans people that are accepted as their target gender in most aspects of their lifeI don't think I've said anything about that. the trans person is not at fault. the presence of a trans-inclusive spa is fine. allowing a woman that is not comfortable being there to experience the situation that she experienced, when she would have chosen not to given all the information, is not ok. --- |
| Topic | Why does it feel like philosophy is both the most and least important thing? |
| Sahuagin 07/14/21 8:35:28 PM #8 | philosophy has no right answers, only wrong answers (which is fine that's just what it is). as soon as it has right answers it starts being something else, like science. and it's still very useful despite having no right answers, since it does definitely find and identify wrong answers. and some answers are less blatantly wrong than others, and some while insufficient are still decently applicable and useable. Clench281 posted... Everything that remains is basically unimportantnot unimportant, just unanswered for the time being, but still under discussion. can we build fully conscious AIs is still a philosophical question for the time being, since it doesn't seem like everything we know about the brain and AIs should be able to result in something like consciousness. how is that even possible? how can there possibly be conscious experience from regular matter that's just arranged the right way? what is going on there that we're missing? --- |

(I know this from experience attempting to open a large can of rotten olives, that sprayed me in the face with rotten olive juice as I opened it.) for can openers, I have been using one of these for many years without issue (though it opens the can a bit differently than a regular one) (ie: by sawing the top off rather than by pushing the lid out): https://www.amazon.ca/Starfrit-Mightican-Manual-Can-Opener/dp/B000X9CDY4 --- |

| Sahuagin 07/14/21 5:48:14 PM #131 | PunishedOni posted... i dont want to see your posts, please stop posting.valid point, if you're in a place where you can reasonably expect to see/hear certain things, it's now on you, not others. you know exactly what kinds of things you are likely and not likely to see here, and if there were unexpectedly obscene things here, then there would/should be a disclaimer of some kind. (or it should be modded away, and yes posting something particularly disturbing for others to see here is an immoral act.) the problem, going back to the OP, is that the woman ended up in a situation that she was not expecting. she should have had an understanding of what she could encounter before entering the situation. (I don't think I said this yet, but before I read this topic I didn't know that spas had anything whatsoever to do with nudity.) it is possible that the cultural understanding of "spa" for most people is that it involves nudity. the problem is that if being in the women's section of a spa can involve being exposed to male nudity, that should be communicated. the attitude seems to be "oh don't you know, we updated what these terms mean for everyone; you didn't expect that? haha, sucks to be you" rather than "we would prefer everyone has a clear understanding of the situation so that no one finds themselves in a situation that they don't want to be in, so we go out of our way to communicate that information to all guests". --- |

| Sahuagin 07/14/21 4:51:15 PM #128 | adjl posted... Why would you believe something is harmful if you can't find evidence of it causing harm?objective harm is not necessary. showing someone something they don't want to see is immoral. even if their reasons are purely personal. spoilers, or maybe someone doesn't want to know the gender of their baby, etc. there's a degree of wrongness if you knowingly expose someone to something they don't want to know or see or hear, etc. it doesn't even matter if you think they're "overly-sensitive" or something, it still has a degree of wrongness. the exception would only be, like for a lot of these kinds of things, "extenuating circumstances", where some greater need overrides this issue. --- |

Honestly, I don't see much by way of inherent moral wrong in either situation. Nudity is morally neutral and inflicts no inherent harm. The only harm or moral foul arises in how it is applied or treated, which is a set of conscious decisions from the people involved in the situation. In truth, desegregating facilities like these wouldn't be a problem at all.is "exposing oneself" immoral? --- |
