Henry: Drifting Through Outer Space Edition

So there I was, as per usual, floating endlessly through an abyss of infinite darkness. Luckily for me my roommate was tagging along too. She can say some crazy things sometimes, but I'm happy that I get to share my journey with someone so entertaining.

Just recently as we were cruising through outer space she blurted out, "What if one of us gets really gassy? One big fart and we'll be set off course! That would be terrible. You wouldn't want to be here without me, would you?"

To which I replied, "Don't worry. If that ever happens then that big mouth of yours will be enough to put you back on course."

"Who said I would eat the beans? You're the one who like's Mexican food. You're practically an enchilada on legs. Some good those legs are in space, Mrs. Enchilada!"

Holy Effing Shit

So now women have a good excuse not to swallow.

"Sorry boo, I don't wanna get pregnant in the off chance that I get stabbed any time soon."

We still celebrate the anniversary of when we met as well as our wedding anniversary. But in our first year together we were one of those disgusting couples that celebrated the date each month.

Slightly unrelated:

What's the deal with dating anniversaries? They seem so contrived.

"Today is the anniversary of when we first met!"

"Today is the anniversary of our first date!"

"Today is the anniversary of when we became an official couple."

"Today is the 6 month anniversary of when we got back together after we broke up from fighting about our time spent together."

The worst part is that people actually have these little anniversaries for months instead of years.

Dating someone for a year is worthy of something, I guess.

I just find it odd because I never have noted the date for any of these things.

Gonna weigh in on the "naive" discussion because jesus christ. The comparison used to "ugly" is invalid. That is because walking up to someone and telling them they are ugly is doing so without reason or context. You had no reason to comment on it. Contrastingly, you actually asked a question (it was intended to be hypothetical, obviously, but still) and Nex answered it. It was relevant to the conversation; it had an appropriate context (that your views on the topic being discussed naive.) A more accurate (though I won't pretend perfect) comparison would be an actor being told he's unconvincing during an audition, or some such.In other words: Xecutioner, stop being such a little fucking princess about the fact that he called your arguably-naive views naive. It's really not that big a deal, for fuck's sakes.Now insulting.

It would actually be more like telling an actor that he is bad at acting. If Nex had said "acting naive" then you would be spot on.

It's the difference between saying that something is wrong with someone and saying that someone is wrong about something.

PLOT TWIST: The maker of the medicine needs to charge $2,000 because HIS wife has an entirely different kind of cancer, for which there is no cure at all, and he needs to make as much money as possible off of his invention in order to fund his continued research to try and save his wife.PLOT TWIST II: The kind of cancer that the drugist's wife suffers from is much more common than the kind that Heinz' wife suffers from. By charging for his drug and continuing his tireless efforts to try and cure this much more common disease, he is saving countless lives.PLOT TWIST III: While he's in the drugist's laboratory stealing the cure, he also decides to poach some very valuable medical equipment for personal gain. Not only does this constitute theft from the drugist, it also hampers his efforts to try and cure a deadly disease.

I have no clue what you're trying to say here or what your point is.

You're changing the hypothetical again and again. In what I'm guessing is an effort to angle the question towards a different general answer.

Those are four different hypothetical scenarios with four different sets of factors. You can't just expand the confines of a hypothetical question at your whim.

He's not doing it for his own wife. He's selling it at a high price for selfish financial gain. The other man is not going to steal anything else.

Am I being trolled?

@Dervish

The point is that the seller is in fact doing it for purely selfish gain. More gain than he needs. I know that's the weak point of the argument if it was a real life scenario. But the point of the hypothetical is that the merchant is in fact being a "bad guy."

EDIT: It's not trying to trick you into feeling empathy. You probably should feel empathy. But the real question is whether or not this sob story of a guy should steal from a heartless man in order to save a life. The amount of empathy you feel and the amount of morals you flex is entirely up to you. You're not meant to sperg out and try to break the question because you feel like it is trying to trick you. You're supposed to answer honestly. There is no right answer. And the only wrong answer is one that doesn't follow the rules of the hypothetical.

Someday the system will fail, anarchy will ensue, and then a new, stronger, more independent society shall arise.

Ehhhhh they've all been pacified. They would likely perish in the anarchy.

Well, I guess that would be more true if it wasn't just a single country.

Calling someone naive isn't an insult, that's just an observation.

>thinking naive isn't an insult

How naive.

If I was enter to enter a Thieves Guild it would be for the express purpose of destroying it from the inside. I have a very strong distaste for criminality of any kind.

"A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: “No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it.” So Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife. Should Heinz have broken into the laboratory to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?"

EDIT: I'm not saying there is an obvious right answer. I'm just curious what your response would be.

Overall it was good, but still somehow disappointing, and it's hard to summarize

Sums up my feelings. Unfortunately I don't remember it well enough to elaborate or discuss.
