While We Wait: Boredom Strikes Back

Err, what? Not sure what NES you're talking about.

 

[Karalysia]

I see your psychic powers have greatly diminished in your absence.

 

[Kraznaya]

Actually I had no idea who you were responding to, so I just assumed you were speaking in reply to whoever quoted you last (Dachs).

 

[Kraznaya]

Does anyone remember who tried to mod the Fructidor timeline, and how that went?

 

[Amon Savag]

Amon - Egyptian ram-headed god of life and reproduction

Just found this in the satanic bible.... Clearly stated, I am the god of sex. All women bow down! And while you're down there...

 

[das]

You'd think you would've noticed that sooner.

(Meaning the Egyptian god name thing, not what you thought)

[Thlayli]

He sure is gonna be embarrassed when he finds out what Savag stands for.

 

[Amon Savag]

I took Amon from the SNES game "Lufia". I knew that he was an egyptian god, just didn't know what of.

Your double post, it hurts my eyes. I expected better from you.

 

[Kraznaya]

Your double post, it hurts my eyes. I expected better from you.

I didn't know you were Finnish.

 

[Dachs]

That map would be ugly even if it hadn't been compressed into a jpeg and otherwise murdered by CFC attachment protocols.

 

[Reno]

I didn't know you were Finnish.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Also, would people please refrain from spamming? I know with this post I'm no better, but still...

 

[Dachs]

[Thlayli]

I have NO idea what you guys are talking about.

 

[Kraznaya]

I have NO idea what you guys are talking about.

On the bright side, at least you didn't have the requisite anatomy to be impregnated. Or... did you?

 

[bombshoo]

I have NO idea what you guys are talking about.

Quit stealing my shtick!

[...] Ultimately we have to realize that this is a futile mental non-exercise: Since we’re assuming that Batman’s actions have good consequences, and Consequentialists hold that the moral value of an action depends on the consequences of that action then we’re just doing a discussion circlewank, and shame on you if you didn’t see this futility earlier.

Okay, we can ask if Batman’s actions are really good, but we have to remember that the universe in which he lives is an unredeemable ********. Hitler is positively so-so in the scale of evil in Batman’s world. The only argument we can pose against the goodness of his actions is whether they are good enough, for some Consequentialists will say that it is immoral to be anything less than perfectly good and perfectly maximizing of your the amount of good you can produce. Then we’d be bogged down with what is good, and if it is good if you missed a few hypothetical scenarios wherein your resources could have been used for greater good than what you chose to do.

Since we are not omniscient I believe it is not a good idea to think of such a multi-variable hypothetical as “how much more good could Bruce Wayne have done if he did not spend 18 years of his life and his personal fortune in becoming a wealthy philanthropist and the Batman?” This is the reason why I made us accept that Batman was a force of good at the beginning of the essay, since otherwise this will devolve into an infinitely large collection of a niche genre of Batman fanfiction that doesn’t even feature the goddamn Batman.

Flunk or no flunk?
