@lackingceremony In D&D we use the term difficult terrain to indicate you need more movement to go through certain squares. But I think that's more for logs or piles of rubble. These seem more like obstructions that you can't move through at all. So obstructions.
@OG_Nuie@pathofexile You seem to not have comprehended that your sentence is ambiguous. What change are you after? I read it as needing it added but since you didn't specify, that's on you.
🌳🌳LIQUID TREES ARE COOL, y'all are just haters: a thread.🌳🌳
This tweet went viral and twitter got mad as heck about it. "But we love trees!" they cried. But they are actually really cool and here's why: (1/14)
Okay so, buckle up I have some wild stories about this guy. So, this guy, Johnny, showed up to Ukraine and joined the Legionnaires. From what I’ve heard, he was “eccentric” from the time he showed up, but it was attributed to the fact that Johnny boy wasn’t the sharpest crayon in the box. Upon arriving, he declared his intention to become a chaplain for the legion, going as far as to write “Priest” on his plate carrier( except he spelled it wrong) On more than one occasion he loaded a belt on a machine gun backwards, claimed to be able to read Ukrainian and Russian (He knew what sounds the letters made but not what the words meant.) Once they got to combat operations, Johnny was a decent soldier. Things began to change however after a certain hard battle, when he was rotated away from the front lines, and he decided to get extremely intoxicated and started pissing on the legions vehicles. He was told stop and didn’t, and eventually ended up pissing in the trunk of one of the vehicles that was filled with gear, food, supplies, a machine gun after he was told that the convoy wouldn’t pull over in a stretch of dangerous highway for him to relieve himself. Essentially, he was told that he was a fucking disgrace and that he was fucked when they arrived back to the front, because they found that he had a mini keg of beer in his rucksack, and had been drinking all day. They arrive back to the front, and Johnny is told that he is being put under arrest. He doesn’t like this, not one bit. He attempts to start fighting the other soldiers, even taking swings at them , until he was promptly rendered unconscious via a swing of a rifle butt. He wakes up in a house under guard, and then decides to jump out of a window, in the middle of the night without shoes or a shirt on, and run away. After it is discovered that he has gone away, it comes out that Johnny may be in possession of a grenade. He runs to a nearby village, which has been abandoned, and steals a woman’s clothes from one of the empty houses.
@marius_thi@chrisiousity Them raping her, them changing their minds, and her killing herself are all separate acts. They may be related but you can't use one to justify another, that is nonsense as in the original example.

@marius_thi@chrisiousity No, that's still post-hoc justification. The act was bad because 99.9% of the time it leads to bad outcomes. That's the utilitarianism I subscribe to. You can't measure the weight of one act by the knock on acts it causes.

@marius_thi@chrisiousity Post-hoc justification isn't a part of utilitarianism. Before the rape occurs, you can't know that the three rapist virgins will change their minds so you can't add that outcome to the calculation. It's morally bad because of that alone and there's other reasons on top of that.
@Renevelation@chrisiousity Post-hoc justification isn't a part of utilitarianism. Before the rape occurs, you can't know that the three rapist virgins will change their minds so you can't add that outcome to the calculation. It's morally bad because of that alone.
@sohelpmejesseca To put it another way, you can't use possible outcomes to justify current actions. I could donate 1 million dollars to a charity and accidentally create uber-hitler when one of the charity workers has a child. Post-hoc justification is not a part of utilitarianism.
@sohelpmejesseca To answer his question on his disgusting terms, no. You can't justify a horrible action because it accidentally had "good" consequences. Before the rape occurs, you can't know that the three rapists would change their minds. So that act can't be morally good.
