Sorry if this comes across as overly dark, but it just occurred to me that the most ironic death for Cyric would be for him to get hopelessly lost somewhere IRL

I'm going to die by clipping through the geometry and falling out of world.

lol, why do you keep saying "hypothetical me"?

Because I don't actually personally believe that abortion should take place at nine months. I used that as a starting point for our ill-fated attempt at a compromise, but it seems you didn't actually want to compromise.

This does seem a roadblock. Unfortunately for you, the roadblock means we go back to the default, which is where we are now: abortion being legal up to viability. It's not about me failing to convince you that abortion should be allowed, because it already is allowed. It's you who have failed to convince me that things should change: that abortion should be restricted to the degree you want.

So what does the No vote mean that they didnt find your guide helpful?

Correct. We get percentages on "Yes" and "No", but I don't take much stock in them. Most of my guides hover around 70-75%.

What nonliving thing can grow, develop and takes in nutrients?

Hypothetical me says "anything in gestation is nonliving".

karlpilkington4 posted...

That doesn't stop my statement from being false.

Gonna assume you meant "from being true", and the response to that is that it's still tied to your belief system, which I may not agree with. I don't agree that "survivability" doesn't mean much. It's key to an organism living on its own.

We really have to keep hammering home which of your statements are based on your personal beliefs and which are medical and scientific facts. I'll restate that your biggest obstacle in this argument is that "when life begins" has not been defined, yet you post assuming it has, or you post with your own beliefs and take that to be fact. I suggest not doing either.

Well that's the nature of the comment system. I won't know what they're referring to without context and I can't respond in this system.

It's for Yakuza Kiwami 2, and "bust" in this case could mean "bust"ing into a place (in which case it might be a colloquialism that they're missing), or it could refer to busting in Blackjack.

I don't think survivability outside the womb, really means much in this discussion, because it will survive, if its not aborted.

It will not survive if the mother dies. It is entirely reliant on the mother to survive.

I would be willingly to go to 6 weeks after conception, but really that's pushing it.

You say four weeks, I say nine months, you counter with six weeks.

Okay, my new offer is now eight and a half months.

My reasoning for 6 weeks was to help women know that they are actually pregnant within a realistic time period, while the fetus is still developing basic brain function. I again, don't believe we should have abortions to begin with, I'm simply compromising because that is how we advance as a species.

Your "counter" for 8 months isn't something I'd support at all.

My reasoning for 8 months is that the "hypothetical me" that is arguing here says that there is no medical or scientific basis for suggesting that the developing fetus is in fact "alive".

Your "counter" for 6 weeks isn't something the "hypothetical me" would support at all.

"Hypothetical me" would be willing to compromise on viability, around the end of the second trimester: six months. That would bring hypothetical me in line with actual me, and there's a medical and scientific basis for that.

My point of engaging in this hypothetical aspect was to establish that "the compromise" has already been reached, and was reached 46 years ago. If you want to renegotiate the compromise, you start from that point and work your way back.

Further, you'll be asked to provide sound medical and scientific proof that the embryo is alive. Not a personal belief.

The Vader/Krennek scene was the one major flaw in RO tbh. Not just because he made a stupid joke, but mostly because it adds nothing whatsoever to the film. Vader already had a short scene that estsblished him as a character who is going to appear later, and he
just tells Krennek the same spiel Tarkin does and tries to mimic his OT body language with no regard to his own dialog. It was a mess of a scene.

Oh shit. Imagine that Vader doesn't show up for the entire movie until that final scene. I feel like everyone would have lost their shit even more.

So the films would be the highest tier, then the TV shows or stuff like Force Unleashed, then the EU

Games were EU. Doesn't matter if they were Yoda Stories or Shadows of the Empire (which Lucas had a lot of input in), they were still EU. Force Unleashed included.

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Canon

If you feel like delving into that pile.

But basically the old setup was as follows:

G-Canon - The six movies at the time and whatever George says.

T- Canon - TV Shows, which was just Clone Wars at the time.

C-Canon - The massive bulk of the EU. Books, comics, games, etc.

S-Canon - "Secondary" canon. This is mostly for older stuff that was C-Canon but gets filed here if a future work ignores it, like the old Marvel Star Wars comics.

D-Canon - Specifically made for the 2013 Star Wars "Detours", which was a humorous (I guess?) TV series where characters did non-canon stuff.

Non-Canon - Infinities and works that explicitly state they're non-canon.

To be honest, Kyle Katarn is a product of the 90s action heroes. Yes, he's awesome and a meme and his beard is so badass it conceals a fist holding a Bryar Pistol, but there's very little to him apart from his ability to deal death and destruction.

The games are awesome, and you can still play them, but I really don't see a place for him in the new canon, or at least certainly not as he is known.

Also Dark Forces takes place after the Battle of Yavin (with the first mission being a prelude to Yavin). Jedi Knight is like shortly after Endor, and then Outcast is several years later (after the Academy has been established), and Jedi Academy is later still.

joes a centrist who leans left. hes said this many times. people need to get a clue.

Oh, if he says what he is, then I guess that's fine, because people's own perspectives about their politics are never skewed by their own self-image.

I'm very much reminded of the time Joe had Jack Dorsey on his show and right-wingers started bailing on it in droves because Joe didn't grill Jack hard on Twitter's policy on bans. Joe panicked, had Jack back on a second time, and gave him the grill. Even brought along Tim Pool to placate the rightists.

I rarely trust people who self-identify their politics, and especially not "centrists".

I believe once the fetus develops a brain then it should no longer be able to be aborted. It's more of a compromise than having specifically to do with brain development, but that certainly weighs in on my stance

Okay so that's four weeks, correct? You realize that's even more stringent than the "heartbeat bills" right?

I'm willingly to compromise, but at some point we need to realize that we're talking about killing a human life (semantics aside)

If you suggest four weeks, you may as well be banning abortions outright, because no women know that they are pregnant in four weeks. Many pregnancy tests aren't even effective until after four weeks.

Beyond that, what if my terms are "at any point during pregnancy up to the moment of birth, for any reason", what would you suggest the compromise be?

Because my solution stops many more deaths of future humans

So what is your solution, in detail? It's a big topic and it's not something you opened with.

Idk what you mean by "in detail". I've already explained my stance multiple times. What are you confused with specifically?

Time of pregnancy where you believe abortion should be legal, circumstances allowing abortion, etc.

Like I said, it's a big topic. If you've already gone into detail elsewhere in what you believe your solution to the abortion issue is, I apologize.

So, yes its a life that is alive.

CyricZ posted...

Also what if it's an embryo? What's your stance then?

I think there needs to be some sort of compromise, because that is how civilized societies work. It's also why I'm relatively ok with abortions when it comes to rape pregnancies.

170 posts for us to get to you actually admitting you're not really all that against abortions.

So FYI a compromise was in fact already reached back in 1973. The Supreme Court decided that "viability", which is to say where a fetus could conceivably live and grow on its own, was the point where a fetus could no longer be legally aborted unless due to risk of the health of the mother. Because they did not feel comfortable defining life.

This not only allowed gave women the option to abort if they realized they were pregnant late, but also allowed for some development where it could be determined if the baby would be viable.

Knowing all this, my question to you is what makes you feel your compromise is better?

A fetus is a life, who is trying to dispute this?

Lotta people in this topic. I concede that it's a potential life, but you seem to be speaking out of a base argument that you believe a fetus is alive, unless I'm mistaken? Do you have a difference between "alive" and "a life"?

karlpilkington4 posted...

A fetus will turn into a baby. The mother should not be able to kill it. An egg will not turn into a baby. Sperm will not turn into a baby. A fetus will.

Also what if it's an embryo? What's your stance then?

Basically this fucker, but not this exact one:

https://www.amazon.com/KINGOU-Wooden-Teasers-Intelligence-Puzzles/dp/B00S87CV9A

For one, these things are always harder the first time because the wood seems to settle and stick together after so long in its package. Now that I got it apart and back together, it seems all loosey goosey.

But building off that, I was actually near a point of solving it, but because two parts stuck together so much, I was worried I was actually breaking it apart rather than just detaching the pieces. I had to go online to see a video to learn that yes, that's what I was supposed to do. It felt like a "snap" when I pulled it apart, but apparently it was another case of the wood sticking together.

Now I feel like I cheated to solve it when it was really just my caution that got in the way.

FIVE BUCKS DAMMIT.

Still puzzles are cool.

Isn't her name Jubilee?

To ruin the joke, the implication is that the codename was dreamed up first, and the real name somehow had to be thought of as something one could easily make the codename out of.

It's like instead of Scott Summers, his name was "Syclum Opsar".

Women alone can't create life yet they are the ones being forced to give up 9 months of their lives to do so.

It's only fair they can chose to end the process.

They have no right to end the life of another that they voluntarily created

This is your opinion. This is neither fact nor law in this context.

Also you haven't defined when life starts yet.
