Could Vivec Heal the Falmer?

Does Vivec or any of the 3 tribunal have enough power as Godkin to restore a fallen race like the Falmer if the Mood ever struck any of them?

Vivec is said to have courted Daedric Lords and bite off their members. He was able to hold a mountain sized piece of Molog Bals Poop in the sky for hundreds of years as a threat to his people.

Are the falmer Capable of being transformed back into their old selves with magic or are they too far gone?

Bonus points if you think Vivec could restore other races like the Aelids or the dwemer.

ELI5: Demon Physiology

Why is the Blue Spider lily a Spiritual power rather than some sort of weird Flower linked to another Dimension?

To Rationalize Demons seemingly throwing the laws of conservation of energy to the curb ( infinite Stamina Demons breaking the "matter cannot be created or destroyed rule)

I always assumed the Flower acted as some sort of bridge to another Dimension. Kinda like the Coils in Dimension W anime(mid but kinda interesting anime)

But recently I keep seeing posts and discussions saying that the blue Spider lily is strictly Spiritual and is only located in japan because Japan is the center of the world apparently. (I know its a Japanese Manga and they have right to call DIBS but still kinda terrible for a world building aspect.

I know Demons aren't Vampires, but what specifically about the sun makes Demons burst into flames if the reason ISNT UV radiation?

To SUMMARIZE:

what am I looking at when I look at a demon from Demon Slayer? Am I looking at an infected human with some kind of Dimensional Rabies or am I looking at an ordinary person Cursed by Japanese Gods for some reason?

How did Rick Prime Enjoy "Infinity"

We know very little about Rick Prime except that he is even more fiendishly clever than Rick, in that he was able to hide himself from Rick for basically forever. Rick could only find him with the help of Evil Morty, and they are both geniuses.

Beyond that craftiness, what do we actually know about Rick Prime? What does he do with his free time? Is he like Rick, hanging out in some garage on an abandoned moon, tinkering all day? Or is he partying 24/7? He is young, and he is obviously narcissistic enough to care about his appearance to the point that he wants to be young and practically invincible. So he must be doing something that makes it worth his time to show all that off.

Did he run governments? Were his governments any better than Rick's, considering Rick's version of government is holding planets hostage for their resources? Was he worse than Rick, or was he like Rick except with the only defining difference being that Rick Prime genuinely did not care about anybody but himself? What did Rick Prime do in the multiverse?

CMV: Nationalism is a Dead End for humanity

Ok, so first, I'm not attacking anyone's "Love" for their Nation or Country. I'm just saying that the political Philosophy of Nationalism doesn't really have any Future Potential for humanity.

In the "Modern World" Wanting your Particular Country to be prioritized first in the world is an Understandable desire, but that only holds true for as long as technology limits humanity to one planet at a time.

But 500 years in the future, (assuming humanity survives this far without reverting to MAD MAX)

Humanity is quite possibly an interstellar species.

We probably have colonies on other planets atleast in our solar system.

I don’t See the concept of Nationalism surviving to that age, it will likely transform into Globalization at some point (Earth first over Mars)

SIDENOTE:

what if Humanity Discovers Aliens? Do Nationalists really believe that the US, England, China or South Africa would be able to INDEPENDENTLY negotiate with aliens without including input from the rest of humanity?

The moment Humanity Discovers that E.T exists, Nationalism as we currently know it becomes A Still Born Concept**.**

So to summarize, I dont believe that there is any sustainable Future in Nationalism because Nationalism itself doesn't really think about the future of humanity,

Globalization is the only path that can actually survive in a Future Humanity.

World Level Item Idea: Seedling of Yggdrasil

Name: Seedling of Yggdrasil

​

Item Appearance: When "equipped" it looks like Silver covered Wooden Staff with branches.

​

When the Item is deployed it quickly grows into a full Size SilverTree(At first).

​

Description:

A world level item that when you plant it in the ground, it will start naturally growing bigger and Taller and have the ability to alter the landscape surrounding it, turning regular land into magical land, causing magical herbs, magical plants, and higher level ores to spawn in the area.

The base tree Height is 20 Meters, MAX height is 1800 Meters The tree grows 15 Meters every month.

As the Tree grows larger and more noticeable, the greater the Area of effect it will have. The tree does have a height limit, once MAX height is reached it will effectively have control over an entire Yggdrasil map (Approximately 3 times the Radius of Tokyo) MAX Range: 150 Km radius Surrounding the Tree.

The item Requires Attunement, 1 High level Druid, The user can alter the landscape as they choose(Normally used for hiding itself in Yggdrasil). The user can also make the surrounding landscape Surreal and Beautiful and Varied with different biomes and Weather Features.

So essentially, if a guild acquired this, they could use this world level item, plant it someplace secret like a forest, and watch the forest grow and develop more higher level magical item drops than it would normally Drop.

This would allow a guild to have a constant supply Low-Mid Tier Loot whenever they want. The guild would basically center around trying to hide this tree at all costs and relocating it to new secret locations if it's discovered.

Thoughts? Does it Balance?

Israel should Let The Flotilla Activists Through to Gaza

Israel is shooting itself in the foot by not allowing flotilla activists to peacefully pass through their blockade and deliver food, water, medical supplies, and baby food to the citizens of Gaza.

Public opinion of Israel right now is not doing so well. The whole world is looking at Israel and Israelis as, for lack of a better word, kicking someone while they're down—being the bad guy, the bully. Regardless of how you feel about that statement or whether you view it as unjust, bigoted, or anti-Semitic, that is simply how the world sees it. That position is not being helped by Israel using its full military might to prevent boats full of aid from reaching the shore.

If these boats contained guns, drones, bombs, or even fuel depending on the circumstances, then there would be an argument for enforcing the blockade. But if activists are just bringing food, water, baby food, and medical supplies to the people of Gaza, then preventing them makes it look like you are applying collective punishment.

One defense offered is that Israel is trying to protect the activists from Hamas, which would supposedly harm or kill them upon arrival. While the thought of Israel caring about the activists is noble, Israel's message to the world would improve greatly if they let the boats through.

If Hamas is as vile and vicious as you claim, then as soon as those activists reach the shore, they should be captured and killed. Israel could simply put that on video and say, "Look, this is who they're trying to protect. See how wrong the world is for siding with them." But Israel isn't doing that, which leads me to believe you don't think that would actually happen.

I could be wrong, and Israel might care so much about the activists' lives that they aren't willing to take that chance, no matter how small. I commend you for that.

If Israel wants to prove that aid flotillas to Gaza are too dangerous for the activists, then you should simply let them try. If they are attacked and intercepted, that will be the last aid shipment brought through.

If you are not applying collective punishment to citizens, then you have no reason to not allow flotilla activists to bring aid into Gaza.

Do you disagree? Are there any flaws in my logic?

Creeper Farm Trouble shooting"Bedrock"

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me some quick tips or helpful info on how to improve my Creeper farm.

Ive had it for about 1 month in game and ive only yielded 3 Gunpowder so far.

Im no expert on creeper spawn mechanics but I followed a tutorial where I made a stone grid with trapdoor covering the holes, each level is only 2 blocks tall, and ive place buttons and trap doors on the floor in a pattern to keep spiders from spawning and trapdoors in a check pattern on the ceiling to lower the height slightly.

Assume the light is at zero, and i dont have any stair blocks(light getting through).

I have 10 levels of spawning platforms only their not spawning.

Should I get rid of the trapdoors on the ceiling?

Would Ainz Losing in the End Ruin the Story?

Would the story of Overlord be ruined if Ainzwere to lose in the end for some reason. I know a lot of people like the series because it's watching an evil character, main character actually win and just conquer the world and crush the good people under their boots, etc. etc. you know.

But from a lore perspective, he's destined to lose at some point. As you know, in the world of Overlord by Maruyama in the New World, there's the Advent of the Gods, where every 100 to 200 years beings from Yggdrasil arrive in the New World. These beings are always people or NPCs that were in Yggdrasil at the time and also had a world level item with them when they were in the game.

Now, aside from obvious NPCs and guilds, there's also the looming threat of the world enemies that also dropped world level items when they were killed. Assuming that they were also brought over along with everything else associated with the world of Yggdrasil, then those people would be too strong for Ainz Ooal Gown and Nazarick to take on altogether.

Therefore, their only strategy would be to hide basically or try and outmaneuver them or outspend them, but again, highly dubious, especially if multiple world enemies appear in the world at the same time.

I get that this may not occur until like 1000 years in the future and Maruyama seems pretty burnt out already, so he's probably not going to write the next 200 years in the future, let.

But all the people that are celebrating Ainz winning in the end is kind of a short sighted because he's going to lose at some point. Eventually something bigger than him from Yggdrasil is going to drop in and he's not gonna be able to handle it, and he's going to lose.

But does that revelation ruin the story, or does that make it better?

Eating Living Sentient Food

Ok so Occasionally in fiction the characters are seen gleefully eating Still living, sometimes Sentient food stuffs, the characters often eating them aren't considered evil but they are mostly the protagonists of the series.

Sometimes the food appears to be like barely cognitive insects while others the food can be seen Screaming in terror or even begging for its life(or sometimes death)

Most often the food appears to be delicious and the protagonist seem indifferent to the foods plights. Sometimes the food is even depicted to be born for the specific purpose of being consumed.

If these foods existed in real life, would it be Evil to regularly consume them if they are considered Delicious?

Kanzlock (Invincible): worms with distinct frowning faces crawling away from Allan(his favorite food)

Screechies (Second best Hospital in the Galaxy): Screaming sentient humanoids capable of communication, story telling, and self preservation.(The hospital staff favorite snack)

Flurby (escape from planet earth): sentient mashed potatoes with a British accent and no pain receptors.

Caterpillar Mr Goldenfold(Rick and Morty): Large Caterpillar begging for death as its eaten alive by Giant sentient wasps

How did the Fire Nation Annihilate the Air Nation overnight?

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, it said the war started when the Fire Nation attacked. Specifically, the Fire Nation used Sozin's Comet to ambush and eradicate the Air Nation by—I'm assuming—simultaneously attacking all four temples during the comet, right?

My question is: how did the Fire Nation mobilize four different armies to go to each of these temples, SOMEHOW manage to sneak up on the Air Nomads without alerting them?

There is absolutely no shot that the earth Kingdom didnt notice 4 enemy armies mobilizing within their borders. I know the Air Nomads lived in isolation from the Earth Kingdom. Assuming that even if the Earth Kingdom saw them, the Earth Kingdom didn't even bother warning the Air Nomads because they were worried about their own problems.

How do the Air Nomads not see four armies approaching them? How did not one temple see a Fire Nation army approach them menacingly? I know this obviously happened somehow. I don't know—maybe they approached in the dead of night. But the Air Nomads fly around all day. They literally have air superiority. They're flying over dozens of miles a day, presumably. How did none of them see the Fire Nation Army approach?

CMV: Im not the least bit concerned with Iran as an American.

I’m not the least bit concerned if Iran develops a nuclear program, gets a reactor, or even a nuclear weapon. As an American, I don’t feel my safety is at risk if they do.

For starters, I don’t believe Iran can launch a missile from there to America. And even if they could, they’d destroy one or two cities at most. Meanwhile, America’s nuclear arsenal could wipe their entire country off the face of the earth.

So I’m not really concerned about them getting a weapon. Despite how crazy people like to make them out to be, I believe they’re rational enough to know that launching a nuclear weapon would mean destroying themselves.

Now, I know the concern isn’t necessarily about them harming America — it’s about them harming our allies in the Middle East. Again, I’m not really concerned about that.

If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, the worst that can happen is that our allies lose the option to indiscriminately wipe out Iran’s cities or infrastructure. If Israel wants to bomb Iran or destroy them — they’ll do so at their own risk. If they try to turn Iran into Gaza, Iran could just nuke Israel. Honestly, that’s kind of fair play if the alternative is turning Iran into Gaza.

I’m under no illusion about how good or cruel Iran’s government is. At this point, the whole Middle East is a wash for me. That region has been hemorrhaging blood on all sides for so many years i see it as more a feature of the region.

I’m struggling to understand what we, as Americans, get out of the current deal. I want peace over there as much as anyone. I want them to stop fighting. And if Iran getting a nuclear weapon helps toward that peace — even if just for deterrence — then I’m kind of okay with that.

What threat does Iran's nuclear program pose to America? I know they have crazy religious extremists running their government but please name 1 country in the middle east where that isnt the case.

Please change my view and convince me to give a rip about whether Iran has a nuclear program or not.

Slasher demons BDA was Trash

The slasher demons BDA was just a basic speed boost, and he got blitzed by a Rengoku.

His demon art wasnt creative or versatile, it just made him marginally faster than the avg demon of his caliber.

Even if you scale his base speed to Kokushibo before adding his BDA, there's no guarantee he could even react at those speeds.

It just seems like the perfect power for a dumb dumb with zero imagination and a compulsive desire to prove superiority

Is this a Utilitarian answer to the "Lesser evil" problem?

The Classic Lesser-of-Two-Evils Problem (Abstract Version)

The classic moral problem of choosing the lesser of two evils is always very challenging for the individual.

Imagine you have two sides in a conflict:

· Side A wants to kill everyone on Side B. Side A justifies this through religious reasons.

· Side B wants to kill everyone on Side A. Side B justifies this through nationalistic reasons.

Both sides are intent on doing this and will carry out their killings with or without your participation. Each side has its own intrinsic beliefs and moral reasoning for why the other side should die and why they themselves should live.

The end result, regardless of what you do, is that people on both sides die. There will be suffering on both ends.

The Utilitarian's Possible Solutions

Given this, a utilitarian might consider rejecting both premises entirely — rejecting both Side A and Side B — and then either:

  1. Choose neither side (refuse to participate at all), or

  2. Kill both sides (actively eliminate both groups).

In either case, the utilitarian rejects the framing that one must choose between the two claimed "lesser evils."

Here’s your continued thought, transcribed and made coherent:

And in fact, the proper utilitarian approach to this would be to just kill both Side A and Side B.

If both sides are intent on killing the other, each armed with their own moral justifications — religious for Side A, nationalistic for Side B — then from a utilitarian standpoint, you cannot justify siding with either.

Why? Because both outcomes lead to the same result: total death on both sides. The only difference is which side’s moral narrative wins. But utilitarianism doesn't care about narratives. It cares about suffering.

If both sides will kill each other anyway — with or without you — then the net suffering is already fixed. However, if you can kill both sides quickly and dispassionately, without the prolonged cruelty, torture, or ideological zeal that each side would inflict, then you might actually reduce total suffering compared to letting them destroy each other slowly and brutally.

In that case, rejecting both premises and killing both sides becomes the actual lesser evil — even though neither side would ever admit it.

You can't justify choosing one side's moral reasoning over the other's, because both lead to the same bloody end. The only honest utilitarian move is to look at the outcome, not the justification, and act to minimize harm — even if that means standing outside both camps and pulling the trigger yourself.

Im an extremely amateur philosopher but does this argument hold any weight from purely philosophical stance?

Because I dont just want to throw them to the wolves, let's say the swat team has nichirin bullets and each has 1 wisteria smoke grenade.

What demon could they handle/ defeat easily and what's the strongest they could kill with heavy casualties

Israeli Settlers make Israel look malevolent

*Disclaimer* This isnt about all Israelis just the violent settler groups that set up camps 20 meters away from Palestinian homes in the west bank.

When I see videos of 20-30 Israeli settlers setting up camp outside Palestinian homes, destroying their fence line having their sheep graze the Palestinians land into nothingness and shine flashlights 🔦 on the people's face and property at all hours of the night im filled with a terrible rage.

As an American, my gut reaction when someone pulls up to my land and harasses me is to take out my gun, blow their heads off and go back to bed. Idk if you think my response is "too violent" for any sane person to converse with, but ask any American Farmer what his response would be to some 5'5 Man invading his property, getting up in his face and hitting the Farmer with a stick. That Farmer would mulch him.

But for Palestinians, such a reaction would be met with Israeli tanks and drone strikes.

I can name names btw: Neriya Ben Pazi, Gabriel Kalish, Avishai Horowitz.

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTknTNPjD/

Let's set aside your opinion on TikTok impartiality and assume the video isnt fabricated or dramatized.

If the contents are true, how am I expected to care at all about the lives of those settlers or people that support them? Im forced to watch families become perfect victims as they cannot fight back without military intervention. So i am increasingly reluctant to care if any violence does happen to the Israeli settlers in the future because in Literary terms "They keep kicking the puppy".

If a player specialized at Summoning Magic were to Continually Attack/Harrasse the New World kingdoms like Re-Estize or Holy Kingdom with Legions of Low level Undead/demons, wouldn't that semi-Permanent Conflict be enough over a Century to increase the Average Level of New Worlders as each generation would grow up during their Percieved "Existential War for Existence"?

Which in Reality is just a level 100 player Gently playing with these kingdoms helping them grow /whilst providing some much needed entertainment for the player since they no longer have TV/Internet anymore?

At the very least the New world Denizens wouldn't be completely blindsided by a sudden demon invasion and would likely have plans/protocols in place for if/When New players show up and legitimately want to destroy them.

And Once the kingdoms get stronger enough the summoner player can gradually call forth tougher Legions as the Kingdoms move up the weight class.
