| tri sapphire 08/20/19 12:17:00 AM #36 | Doe posted... That's a good question, since it definitely causes some physical change with the brain and perhaps nervous system. I'll say that's a "maybe" depending on what the injury and disability is. It's not a catch-all heal tool, so if there's just say a chunk of spine missing then no, but I suppose it necessarily can heal neurological damage. Either way it would help them cope with the situation emotionally Damn, so it's only for mental health then. Well, while 10 million might be able to help more people in a shorter time frame, something like the Love Note (if it follows the basic rules of the Death Note, most notably being able to remove pages and the pages never running out), would have more of a long term benefit for humanity. --- "If history is to change, let it change!

| Topic | Someone in my neighborhood has the blue American flag |
| tri sapphire 08/20/19 12:13:08 AM #45 | MabusIncarnate posted... Some families fly that flag who have lost a family member in law enforcement also. It's all context, but if someone had a husband or father die in the line of duty and they fly it as a result, and people automatically think racism first, this nation is in a pretty absurd state. If you're going to be flying a flag at your residence, you should at least attempt to follow flag etiquette. While I feel sorry for their loss, the American flag is not for personal displays of mourning, much less replacement with a false American flag for such purposes. Tweek the design so that it's not a blatant copy of the American flag, and fly it under the real American flag. --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!

| Topic | There's no excuse to not possess an ID lol |
| tri sapphire 08/14/19 10:23:44 PM #34 | Some states require a birth certificate and a permanent address to get an ID. So if you're homeless, or old and alone, you're shit out of luck. Not to mention some states charge $100+ to have a 3rd party retrieve your birth certificate for you if you've lost it, or if your copy is too worn down. Also, the disparities between DMV access and services are quite large throughout the US. Being in Chicago, one of the US's largest cities, makes you completely unqualified to talk about DMV service anywhere besides large urban centers. --- "If history is to change, let it change!

| Topic | If you went back in time to it, how would you stop the Columbine shooting? |
| tri sapphire 08/13/19 6:56:41 AM #53 | masterbarf posted... UnfairRepresent posted...masterbarf posted...I think you need to address post 24 explaining why the butterfly effect is irrelevant if you're going to continue on with this line of discussion. All you're basically saying is "but what if time travel only worked according to this logic!?". Because we don't know how time travel would normally work, let alone what the case is in this made up scenario. Maybe it's multiverses like in your first example: in which case, do as you will, no consequence to your own universe. Not much point to this topic to begin with since you're not affecting your home universe, which negates the moral quandary of hurting people who currently exist. This is assuming that you get to travel back to your home universe afterwards, if not, regard your second case: Or a single universe contained to just one instance, in which case this isn't time travel as the TC is describing it. Again, no point to the topic since in this case the traveler isn't a time traveler at all, but someone now stuck in an entirely new reality who can't go back to his normal life anyways. He can still stop the school shooting, but now his priority is going to be living in this new world based on one 20 years in the past. I mean, one could still prioritize making sure to not fuck with the timeline too much in order to keep your relatives and any other acquaintances in jeopardy from not existing in this new timeline, which brings us back to normal time travel but with having to return the long way (and having a potential younger double). --- "If history is to change, let it change!

| Topic | If you went back in time to it, how would you stop the Columbine shooting? |
| tri sapphire 08/13/19 4:49:46 AM #43 | Zeeak4444 posted... Wouldnt it be more fair to say anyone born within x range of event then though? Like say 6 months to compensate for after shock ripples and shit. It might have a few pockets of realignment for some people. But odds are that a large majority of people 19 and under would be affected. Especially with the shootings (or lack of shootings) that will follow without Columbine to be brought back into the limelight. Once you get that first wave of new people being born though, that's when the butterfly effect would be taken into account. Everyone that lost generation would have interacted with would now be interacted with differently. Again, it only takes sex being off by an inch or a second to throw that (low end average) 1 in 40 million into jeopardy. --- "If history is to change, let it change!

| tri sapphire 08/13/19 4:36:28 AM #40 | Zeeak4444 posted... tri sapphire posted...ChocoboMog123 posted...AssultTank posted...I wouldn't. Bad as it sounds, I wouldn't change history. Too much potential for catastrophe. What slippery slope? This isn't about the butterfly effect. This is a direct effect with regards to how statistics and reproduction works. You are the product of 1 in (a low average of) 40 million sperm. Change the timing or placement of release by even a second or inch and odds are massively against you being born vs someone new. And that's if Columbine just barely registers in a couple's life as a small blip that they don't pay any attention to. Have sex be off by a day and chances of you being born again as you are practically 0%. Conception off by a whole egg cycle? Definitely 0%. A large event like Columbine, which became known to pretty much everyone with a TV or radio at the time, as well as influenced media and future shootings, would definitely throw off something that small for a majority of America. Other countries might be affected less, but would still suffer a small wave of alternate conceptions. Again, maybe nothing big in regards to large events, but devastating to generations of potential people who now don't exist. And it's nothing anyone would or should worry about in the present, but if you're messing with the past? Unless you have no attachment to anyone in that age group, it's a hard choice to make. --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!

| tri sapphire 08/13/19 2:27:05 AM #18 | ChocoboMog123 posted... Say goodbye to any cousins/nephews/anyone under 19 that you know today. Mess with an event that reaching and odds are that they won't exist in the new timeline. Not movie logic, science. Even if the day of a couple having sex doesn't change, even the slightest change in the way/timing on that day can throw that (minimum) 1 in 40 million chance of a person being born as they are off the rails. And odds are, something that big would throw off everyone who's ever heard of it enough to completely rewrite pretty much everyone conceived after that date (at least in the U.S.). If anything, it's movie logic that messing with time doesn't mess with stuff like this. So, yeah, you can claim that it doesn't matter to you, but anyone else considering something like this would probably be off put by the info that they'd pretty much be condemning everyone they know under 19 to nonexistence. Sure, odds are that they'd be replaced in some way or another by another person, and it probably wouldn't change too many large events, but that's still a heavy burden for anyone with younger relatives or acquaintances. --- "If history is to change, let it change!

Less healing, generally longer boosts. -Boosts are noted in the details on all materials that have them. They have different potencies, sorta depending on rarity. More boost material = stronger/slightly longer boost. More side material = longer boost. -Never mix different boosts. They will cancel each other out. --- "If history is to change, let it change!
