Topic | So... 48/2(9+3) |
Airship_Canon 02/18/18 11:35:45 PM #23 | 2 or 288. Just 2 or just 288 is wrong, since the way it's written results in having both answers be correct. Sorta. 2 is the "more" correct, since multiplication between x(y) is "higher priority" than x*y, thusly, it means the entirety of 2(9+3) is the denominator. http://www.purplemath.com/modules/orderops2.htm The general consensus among math people is that "multiplication by juxtaposition" (that is, multiplying by just putting things next to each other, rather than using the "" sign) indicates that the juxtaposed values must be multiplied together before processing other operations. --- |

Airship_Canon 02/09/18 1:00:40 PM #8 | Emeraldegg posted... So like, by qualifying to use it, is it part of the training that you get sprayed with it? Yeah. It's a two parter for why: 1. You're supposed to know what you're putting people through when you employ it, since it's a non-lethal that has no lasting effects [latter bit is a mild lie, it bites back later because it dries up and is still in contact, so it reflashes. It doesn't do anything crazy harmful. It just hurts like hell. Reflash feels like sunburn and soap in the eyes.] and 2. That you're capable of maintaining your own composure if exposed to blowback. As far as I know, anyone who does security or police work will be exposed. I've gotten it because I'm Navy. --- |

Topic | Would you rather politicians did |
Airship_Canon 01/23/18 8:24:21 PM #17 | Paratroopa1 posted... holy shit dude 'what's right' in this case is like 'don't fucking do slavery even if the economy booms as a result of unpaid labor ok' Again, you miss the point of "subjective morality". You look at this situation and go "yeah that's evil", but fail to get that there's someone on the other side of the coin, back in say 1828 and such, who sees the economic boon as more "right" than avoiding the human suffering. What you're asking for is someone who does YOUR specific definition of right. That's precisely why Democracy exists- because there is no universal "right". There no universal "best". For another round, take for instance the Gay Marriage debate not too long ago. It's not hard to find someone who believes wholeheartedly that Gay Marriage is quite the opposite of Right, they believe keeping it illegal is doing what's RIGHT. Now, you can disagree, but that doesn't make you right, because the thing is to make that claim is to make a claim that you're worthy of being considered superior, which is not only boastful but wrong in and of itself- what makes you better? What makes your "Right" more valid than theirs? Now you can claim that you have a large amount that agree with you, but then what of the Politician- if he doesn't believe Gay Marriage is right, and that it being kept illegal is for the best, well, by the ideation that Right > Best > Wants, well, then keep that shit illegal- it's doing what's right, it's doing what's best, and wants be damned. The reasoning for [representative] democracy is simply that, rather than be granted power to do what's right, politicians are beholden to keep their constituents happy, which means conforming to their collective wants. And because it is forcibly adapted to the people's desire, rather than something subjective is why democracy is the best form of government. (With Direct Democracy's failings being not in the overall effect- but in the fact that governing is a lot more complex than it looks) Electing politicians who do "the right thing" instead of electing politicians who are beholden to the people's wants is how you get fucking evil. Believing that Politicians should do what's good is how you get villains. Concentrating power on a handful of people, which is inevitable when you want people only to do what's right, not what's wanted, leads to dictatorship- even tribal lead and military coup bullshit does. --- |

Airship_Canon 01/23/18 8:17:33 PM #11 | NFUN posted... The West has representative democracies/republics rather than direct democracies for a very good reason Because Direct Democracies are overly complex despite their seeming simplicity, and if you can't get a couple hundred people to agree on shit, you certainly can't get hundreds of millions. A direct democracy would fail at the first budget crisis because there'd be too many damn ideas for any one of them to gain enough traction. Representatives are their to streamline the stupidly complex part of running the system, not to arbitrate. --- |

Airship_Canon 01/23/18 8:14:41 PM #8 | Paratroopa1 posted... Do what's right even if it's not best for the people; do what's best for the people even if it's not what they want; do what people want only if it meets the the first two conditions Two Word: SUBJECTIVE MORALITY. What's right in a politicians eyes is not necessarily what's right in the people's eyes. What's best for the people might not be what they have as best. What they want is what they want. The road to hell is paved with one thing: Good Intentions. Very seldom do people set out to do evil. It's in pursuit of what they believe is right and best that the greatest evils of all time have been perpetrated. What was right for Germany was to reclaim their power. What was best for the German people was conquest and the Final Solution. To have a "right" that a Politician should try to pursue you have to have a concrete morality. And Objective Morality is not a thing that actually exists. A best goes along with the same. Everyone is different, and following a belief that a leader should do what's right, what's best for the people above their will is precisely how freedom dies and how you get Nazis and Commies, the world's worst villains. --- |
Topic | Would you rather politicians did |
Airship_Canon 01/23/18 7:28:34 PM #2 | What the people want. Right is subjective. Any form of morality is. If you ask a goose stepping Nazi if what Hitler was doing was right, they'd say yes. Obviously to an outsider, that's a hell no. But again, morality is purely subjective. To ask that they do what's "right" is to ask them to morally arbitrate. And honestly, do you want Nazis or Commies? That's how you get Nazis and Commies. What is best also falls into that trap. This idealistic look creates an arbitrary look at what's good for people without taking into account their considerations. Every politician by the base is going to do what they think is best unless they're basically evil and aren't out to get reelected. What people WANT is different, it doesn't fall into those traps, it just goes with what people desire. --- |

Airship_Canon 01/23/18 7:12:48 PM #4 | Depends on how clean the oil was, and how good you are at getting it OUT of the ipod. Oil isn't conductive and won't fuck things up, but it'll cause a heat issue, and creates a potential fire hazard as a result, and if the oil wasn't clean, it can and will leave deposits. --- |

Airship_Canon 01/13/18 2:51:24 PM #86 | Xiahou Shake posted... You absolutely need strong units if you want to mess with the other stuff. You only need to worry about specifics if you care about T20 Arena. You can get into the T18.5 bounce with Askrs. Note that the T18-19 bounce gives a very minor less resource than 20 (1300 Feathers difference, that's 1 5* Promo every 3, almost 4 months) . By all senses it's a waste of an opportunity cost to play T20. Between TT, T18.5 Arena, and VGs, you'll get all the feathers you can ever really need. Especially if you play wide instead of tall, much like a City should be. It throws ~250 free orbs a month at you and hands you all the tools you need to do Infernals and Lunatics. --- |
