Their point was that incentivising rape allegations as a means to permit an abortion will lead to a non-zero number of instances where false allegations will occur. This is correct. Men weren't being victimized, and comparing this guy with a rapist is immature and downright disrespectful to victims of rape.

If you are ok with a few more instances of men being falsely accused of rape for the greater good of women, then your thinking is analogous to the person in the original post who was ok with 1 person being raped to stop the killing of thousands of unborn babies.

You really invalidate your position when you state that you wouldn't even care if more false accusations increase. You are making this a men vs. women issue which is it absolutely not. This tribalism is not only unproductive it's destructive. I know plenty of informed women who are against abortion and plenty of informed men who favor it.

You have an awful lot of faith in humanity if you think any law won't get weaponized for evil when possible. But I guess a man wrongfully going to jail for 10-20 years for rape isn't evil in your eyes, or you have gaslight yourself into believing that men are never victims.

Swing voters

Notice how it's easier to assume the other side is ridiculous and stupid than it is to consider that their arguments could have some validity as well. Wayyy to many of my coworkers are die-hard Trump fans and can't imagine how dumb people would have to be to vote blue.

My first victory!

Yeah, this game is really just a learning curve. Took me 80+ runs to get a w, and now without challenges I win about 30% of the time. I've been struggling to get a win with 6 challenges though.

You have no basis for your claim of false rape accusations being statistically insignificant. Only 2-5% of rape cases result in a conviction, which is the only provable statistic that is relevant, which suggests that 95%+ of rape accusations are false (obviously the legal system isn't 100% just, my point is you have no evidence or basis for your claim).

"I care about the increase in human suffering". Like I said in my first reply, this is the same argument used in the original post, which everyone in this thread is shitting on. Take a good long look at your morals because they seem to be very extreme and unstable.

Tips for 9-chal dwarf king as assassin?

Best strategy with dwarf king is to utilize burst DPS like fire, bleeding, and bombs to kill phase 1 before he can pump out too many summons. Phase 2 requires you to assassinate monks/warlocks since they are the biggest threats, and you can use your earth wand to help tank the rest. Phase 3 is a breeze if you have a potion of purity and toxic/corrosive gas, and a fire pot/paralytic gas pot helps. Just drink the purity, throw the gasses, and stealth for 20 turns while you watch the king melt. Don't attack to keep the invis, the boss will die from the damage over time and his summons automatically die after he does. A scroll of artifact recharging is helpful for the fight, but with your current hp you will have to rely on some crazy RNG.

Adding 1 more Slot?

The rogue has a t3 ability that allows him to use his cloak even when it is unequipped, at the cost of a slower recharge time. Fully upgraded this reduces the charge speed of the cloak by only 25%, and otherwise the cloak maintains full functionality. What you are asking for is literally in the game, you just need to beat tengu.

Criticism - Journal 2.5.0

As a long time player, I agree it is a very big difference, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's worse. There is more information automatically recorded that is very relevant when ascending/back tracking, and doing this would have been very awkward with the old format. I don't think players should have to open the notes 25 times a playthrough just to record floor modifiers. While you could suggest a way to improve the current system, I feel that simply reverting to the old system isn't the answer.

i hate monks

Someone clearly hasn't read the effect description of 'focused'. It is pretty clear that it will block an attack even if the attack is otherwise guaranteed to hit, which includes surprise attacks and duelist abilities.
