Can you point to any post you made that demonstrates empathy?

Sure, most of the posts I've posted that say abortions should not happen. I am empathic towards the child and just because you're trying to control me by shaming me into taking up your views doesn't mean I'm not being empathic. By the way, trying to manipulate me by trying to make me feel shame isn't going to work.

That's a biological function, not the biological function. If we are going by how it's used >99% of the time, then the main biological function is pleasure and social bonding, not reproduction.

Plenty of people who have had sex have never had sex with the purpose of it being reproductive.

Okay. I can agree with this reasoning. My angle was that despite how people utilize it, it exists because of reproduction.

It's consent to the pregnancy risks (assuming the sex was consensual in the first place), but it isn't consent to get pregnant. There's a difference. When I get in a car, I acknowledge the safety risks, but that isn't consent to get hit by another car.

Pregnancy is a reasonable outcome. If you buy a lotto ticket, consenting to win or lose starts being beside the point.

They created the kid who needs an organ transplant with a life contingent upon the resources of another body, just like they created a fetus that is contingent upon using the resources of another body. They're comparable, and you don't appear to have thought this through. Hell, we could make the ailment genetic (not that we need to for the analogy to work).

The analogy functions to blur causality (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. degrees of liability).

The analogy also forces a claim that the mother and developing child are separates bodies; ie the abortion already happened, and the concept of un-abortion isn't fathomable.

If we consider Siamese twins sharing vital organs, there would have to be consensus.

In the situation of the mother and developing child, the mother is the interpreter and purveyor of their interests (or the state, depending on what side of the debate you fall on).

Six months is actually longer than roe v wade gives you a right to, which is kinda insane from a pro lifer.

It's a flawed plan to allow abortions up to six months in the case of rape and 0 months for everyone else.
I said that that particular statement was reasonable. I didn't say I agreed with all of his positions on abortion. It's important to find common ground where you can, especially on such a contentious issue.

I'd like to apologize for being such a douchebag, I didn't understand what I was doing at the time, and I now realize that it was wrong.

Of course, I'll budge a little, not too much, but only a little. Abortion can be allowed until 12 weeks for other women, and 6 months for rape victims.

Wait, so you think Trump was good?

I agree, he was good for jobs, and low gas prices, and no rapid inflation, but I also disagree for everything else.
No, he was a disaster and a terrorist leader and an anti-scientific moron responsible for the death of thousands of americans. He was an imbecile who released the head of the Taliban from prison. A traitor who abandoned the Kurds at the mercy of Erdogan. A moron who single-handedly resurrected the Islamic state by betraying the Kurds, who were THIS close to eradicating them. A butcher who made more bombardments in 4 years than Obama did in 8. An idiot who couldn't even command the loyalty of his appointees.

The fact you think he was better than Biden shows you're nuts. The fact somehow you think he has some credit for "jobs" (he didn't, thanks to the trade wars), "low gas prices" ( a responsibility of Putin, like any imbecile knows, so why you blame him I'll never know, why can't you be as smart as a Swede), "rapid inflation" (again, a consequence of Putin's action, the same Putin Trump admires and called "very smart" when he invaded Ukraine).

Something being a reasonable possibility is not consent for that thing.

The analogy functions to blur causality (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. degrees of liability).
No it doesn't.

They are separate bodies.

The woman has a right over her own body, similar to how you have a right over yours and your organs.

Abortion can be allowed until 12 weeks for other women, and 6 months for rape victims.
Golly, thanks master.

What a fucking joke.

look, at least he didn't leave 8 billion dollars of equipment for the taliban to take, let our allies be murdered because he thought giving a list to the Taliban, the people we were FIGHTING against, was a good idea, saying he was going to get us out of covid then keeping us locked up (except for my state, we stopped wearing masks in 2021) until literally this year, and much more.

I hate trump, but even I can admit he was at least alright.

Even winning tickets can be left unclaimed. By your own analogy, pregnancies should be freely refused.

No, you're really not.

His evacuation plan was largely unchanged.
He literally allowed the taliban to v2 organised by releasing their leader from Prison, are you being stupid on purpose?
How exactly is it a fault of Biden if america isn't out of covid when you Republicans refused to vaccinate out of pure stupidity?

You can admit whatever you want, that doesn't make you correct by any means. Of course, you might have likes trump because you believe in Replacement theory or some other stupid nonsense.

I'm not commenting on whether I'm agreeing or disagreeing with his posititions.

I was pointing out how incompatible his various views are and the problems they will cause.

Roe v wade only gives you 5 months, while the uk gives you 5.5 months, france gives you 3.2 months (with later abortions possible on medical grounds with the agreement of two doctors). Yet the person who has been going on about abortion being killing babies, has settled on extending to 6 months in the case of rape.

And you haven't found common ground, he's fucking with you.

Hey, at least i compromised
Thanks, master, for only taking away some rights instead of all of them. What a benevolent one you are.

who just wants to murder babies and nothing else.
You never answered my question about who gets to make that determination. I am still waiting.

I refuse to believe you don't know what I'm talking about. Not even you can be this dumb or uninformed.
Well go ahead and refuse to believe, but the fact of the matter is l literally don't know what it is.

Did you expect me to be so idiotic that I know every conspiracy theory l, or worse yet, believe it?

Nice try, but I had asked you about empathy towards women.

Originally in the case of rape, but right now I'd settle on any empathy towards women.

Where have you shown that?

Let's take for example the rape. Even though it would be horrible to get raped it would be a blessing to have a child and see it grow into an adult. Having children can be a wonderful thing if you make it be that way. So stating the mother needs to keep a child produced by rape is being empathic towards the mother. Unlike you I'm trying to make the best of a situation without needless murder.

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
