I got a question for systems. How do you feel about fan fiction headcanoning someone having DID / OSDD. But the writer made it a "fix-it" of sorts. Like fusing them into one being. Or some cure for it.

Do you not mind that? Or do you hate it?

I personally hate it because it seems wrong especially morally.

This goes for other disorders to btw. How do you feel if your mental disorder got a cure in a fanfic?

I haven't read any autism fan fiction that delt with fixing it/curing it but if I did I would feel offended and grossed out.

Do “evil” people exist? If so, what characteristics make them “evil” people?

Do truly “good” people exist? If so, what defines someone as “good”?

Morals Question

A zombie virus exists. It has overrun an entire city. The city has been quarantined, and so far, no infected individuals have escaped.

The soldiers enforcing the quarantine, however, are very quickly becoming overrun. It has no broken yet, but the infected beat against them daily, and soon, the quarantine will fall and the zombies will spread. On top of that, there are survivors inside the city. Hundreds. Many may even be immune. You have contact with them, and have a rough idea of their locations, but lack the resources and likely the time to evacuate them. They too are days away from being overrun, with their defenses only barely holding up.

You are the one who has to make the choice. You have to choose whether to level the city with missiles, wiping out the infected and all remaining survivors, or hold off and hope beyond hope that the soldiers can maintain the quarantine, and the survivors can hold out and/or you get extra resources, while scientists look for a cure. Every scientist and soldier around you acknowledges that unless they find a cure within days, this may be the only chance to stop the infection from spreading, and more than a few scientists have warned you of how impossible it will be to stop the spread if the infected escape.

So, what do you do?

I was thinking about the question: Is there a morally justifiable reason to use violence for a grader cause?

I think that depends on the situation. A morally gray question cannot be answered so easily.

However, I believe that "violence is never the solution" was created by those who are constantly using violence against the people via nearly every institution they've created.

They've used propaganda and taught us from early age that violence is never okay or justified in order to get away with hurting people over and over again without revolution or someone overthrowing them.

Violence is merely one of the tools in a human being's arsenal, not the answer to every problem, but a tool for some of them.

The great thing about being human is that we can analyze a situation and decide whether or not it's needed.

Fenton Ethics and Test Tube Babies

In order to get the funding they need for their Ghost stuff, Jack and Maddie Fenton had to do some... rather illegal things when they left college.

One of them was testing alien DNA and seeing if it was compatible with human DNA.

However getting their hands on Superman's DNA or any of the main Leaguers would be far to hard for two up coming scientists and would run the risk of them being caught. Instead they set their sights on some of the younger aliens.

Such as Starfire, or rather Koriand'r.

They manage to get their hands on her DNA, and also her boyfriend (Nightwing) at the time and began to test it. They felt unsure with what they're doing but they needed the funding and in order to make themself feel better with what they're doing they decided if they were test her DNA with someone she was seeing it would be... better for their own conscience (it doesn't make what they're doing okay but they think so)

Eventually they succeeded in the testing! A baby can be made between a human and a alien.

HOWEVER because we know how the Fenton's get, they kind of go ahead of what they were only meant to do, which was just to TEST the compatibility of the DNA. Basically the paper's before the test phase.

With them getting tunnel vision on this project... They create said baby.

Then before they could show off that creating a new baby via test tubes actually works, they were told that the paperwork they were working on were going to be given to a new team, thank you for your work, here is the money for your ghost stuff, and have a good day.

The people who hired them then just leave.... Without knowing about the newly made baby.

Jack and Maddie name the baby Jasmine.

A few years later when little Jazz asks for a sibling... Well they bring out the old test tubes and papers.

And even though Starfire is no longer dating Nightwing, her new partner Red Hood would make a wonderful male donor for their future kid.

it's immensely funny to me how andrew lloyd webber read this passage from the book and was like yeah the journey down to the phantom's lair is this really breathtaking magical gondola ride where christine is just captivated by the strange and fantastical beauty of it all (see below)

when in the novel they're both like in a rowboat in the dark with christine scared out of her mind and confused as hell while erik is paddling like he's out for an extreme day of fishing and just staring christine down for the entire duration of the journey without blinking once . like mind you his eyes quite literally GLOW in the DARK and he's just fucking staring into her soul and silently rowing and probably not even breathing like

What's a little necromancy between friends?

You’re driving down the road in your car on a wild and stormy night. The weather is like a hurricane, with heavy rains, high winds, and lightning flashing constantly. While driving, you come across a partially-covered bus stop, and you can see three people waiting for a bus:

1. An old woman who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life and whom you haven’t seen in years.

3. And the perfect partner you have been dreaming about (your “soulmate”).

Knowing that you only have room for one passenger in your car, which one would you choose to offer a ride to? And why?

- Discussion -

You can pick up the old woman, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you can take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your soulmate again…

What would you do?
