The idea is to offer the game at a lower price in regions with poorer purchasing power, so the price is more proportionate and people there can also afford the game.

Not doing that means poor regions likely won't be able to afford the game. Not sure if that's better.

Sure but that's true of a lot of football leagues too.

Original:

If Ukraine is doing that it seems legitimate that Iraq could strike back.

The second quote is about becoming like Israel, which in a way makes sense for a country under attack by Russia. And the first quote literally describes the link between Russia and Iran that I also did. Plus, Ukraine is deeply dependent on Germany and the US for military assistance, so publicly suggesting you can share expertise with Israel plays well with them. But there's not a whole lot Israel wants out of Ukraine, it already has a powerful military capable of repelling Iranian attacks.

Having a common enemy doesn't make them allies. Iran supplied Russia with drones that Russia uses to bomb Ukraine. That seems reason enough for Ukraine to target Iran, Israel doesn't need to be allied with Ukraine for that to be the case.

They do weird things to the modlog. Rarely can you see which mod banned you, and if the comment you posted was upvoted but the mod didn't like it they'll remove it and you won't find a mention of it in the modlog anymore, making it impossible to see the original comment.

Yeah but that's exactly what I mean when I say that defining consciousness as a scale brings us no closer to the (poorly defined) questions we have about these things. We don't even know if we should define it as a one-dimensional number.

"When is something conscious?"

"Well it's a scale so once it has a high enough consciousness number"

"Okay, so at what point in the scale do we consider it conscious?"

"Well that depends on how you want to define 'conscious'"

So you get stuck with essentially the same question. And I think that expressing it as a scale also runs into the problem of "how do you measure it then?" which basically requires answering the original consciousness-question again.

Although I think it's probably not a bad idea to think about it this way, it does create the next unhelpful question of "when is something conscious enough?", so it kinda dodges the hard question. So it simultaneously is useful and useless to think about it in this way.
