Blameworthiness for Avoidable Psychological Harms

Cross-posted from my personal blog.
Here are two premises I firmly believe:
Premise 1: Normatively, psychological harms[1] matter.
Premise 2: Descriptively, an individual's ideology[2] will change her affective response to events.
From these, there arises a dilemma: who is to blame when psychological harm to an individual arises as a result of the victim's ideology? In this post, I explore the this dilemma by:
First, sketching the relationship between emotion and ideology.
Second, proposing two extreme approaches to it and rejecting each.

Would you buy from an altruistic shop?

Hey guys, I've always had strong feelings against conspicuous consumption, so me and a friend decided to try to subvert this trend by collaborating with designers and making an exclusive online shop where you can buy expensive limited-edition items, but where most money goes to charity. Before launching the shop though, I figured I'd ask for some feedback from the EA community. Do you guys have any thoughts? I know it's a long shot to expect this to take off, but it's a very low-risk gamble with all the free tools available today, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I've provided more details about how the shop would market itself in the following sections.

Day One Project Technology Policy Accelerator

I thought some people here might be interested in this, so I am posting.
https://www.dayoneproject.org/tech-policy-accelerator
The following is pulled from that site.
What is the Day One Technology Policy Accelerator?
The Day One Project is launching its Technology Policy Accelerator to identify, develop, and publish a set of technology policy ideas that could be implemented by Congress or the Biden-Harris Administration.
The accelerator is a nine-week process, designed to guide each participant as they develop an initial idea into a tailored, actionable set of policy recommendations. Selected participants will have a chance to develop their ideas with guidance from policy advisors, meet with veteran policymakers to learn more about the nuances of policy implementation, hone their ability to craft actionable policy on the federal level, and build a community with their fellow cohort.

Ecosystems vs Projects in EA Movement Building

People should be aware that as well as starting projects solving a specific problem they could start/support ecosystems that allow many more projects to be created.

What I mean by ecosystem is an organisation or project that supports a network of people to connect with other people/ideas/resources and potentially act as an incubator for other organisations and projects in that field. In the context of this post I mean EA related ecosystems.
Examples include:
And within EA:
I think there are often more attempts at starting specific projects in an area before there is an ecosystem set up to support projects. For example, there have been multiple AI safety related projects but there isn’t a central coordinating organisation for the various people/orgs involved. There is no CEA for people working on AI safety, that creates websites, discussion platforms, conferences, connects mentors, surveys members etc. There is a newsletter, forum and FB groups but they have mainly been set up as separate projects rather than as part of an organisation focused on building up an ecosystem to support the whole network.

Problem Profile of Mental Health in the Philippines

Hey, everyone! We, Rikaela Gabriel and JP Apellido, are third-year psychology students from the Ateneo de Manila University. We are currently volunteers for Effective Altruism Philippines’ Cause Prioritization and Career Advice Research, which aims to find out what the best causes Filipinos can contribute to are and what career paths they can take to help in these causes. As part of this project, we wrote a research paper about the scale and neglectedness of mental health in the Philippines. This work was supervised by Brian Tan, co-founder of EA Philippines.

Killing the ants

(Cross-posted from Hands and Cities)
Recently, my housemates and I started seeing a lot of ants in the house. They marched in long lines along the edges of the basement and the bathrooms. A few showed up in the drawers. My girlfriend put out some red pepper, which was supposed to deter them from one of their routes, but they cut a line straight through.
We thought maybe they were sheltering from the rain, which had become more frequent. We had had ants before; we’d talked, then, about whether to do something about it; but we hadn’t, and eventually they disappeared. We thought maybe this would happen again.

IDN is short for Indian Internet Domain Name. An IP address, or internet protocol address, is a number that uniquely identifies a computer. The majority of computers in the world use IPs to access the World Wide Web. Most companies and organizations use an IP address to set up their information systems. If your company or organization uses its computers to access the internet, you should consider using your own IP address when you set up a Poker Online IDN account.
To get started, you will need to purchase a domain name and hosting for your Poker Online IDN account. To find a list of available IDN hosts, go to the official homepage for any one of the many online gambling platforms and look for "IDsN Hosting". Once you have done so, you can create your own Poker Online IDN account by following the directions on the page.
Once you have completed these steps, you will be ready to start playing at the poker game's website. Most of the sites offer both long and short matches. Long matches are played on a one-on-one basis, while short ones are played in public tournaments. The long term goal of any poker online idn poker terbaru company is to provide the best services possible to their clients. If the site you are using has a customer service advisor, you should make yourself familiar with that person.
If you are not sure which games you should play, you may want to consider what skill level you currently speak English at. If you do speak English as a second language, it may be easier for you to get along with the staff on a daily basis if you know that they are familiar with your native tongue. On the other hand, if you speak only your native language, it may be more difficult to play some of the more basic games. For example, it may be more difficult to learn Indonesian or Japanese if you only know your English.
The poker online Indonesia telah and yang tidak that you will find at most of the sites are similar. However, there will be differences between the two. Telah refers to the Philippines as part of Indonesia, while yang tidak is used to refer to poker rooms from different parts of Indonesia.
If you join a poker online idn Indonesia membership, the first thing you will notice is that you can register for play for no cost. This means that all you have to do is simply log in and begin playing. After you set up an account, you will usually be given a special username and password and then you can proceed to make your deposit and withdraw your winnings from your bank account. Once you become a member, you will automatically receive bonus judi poker chips.

Types of Meat/food terms related to meat-eating
Lamancati (laman ng kati)- Carne de cualquiera animal/meat of any land animal.
Note: kati is synonymous with lupa ie ‘land’. In those times lamangkati was more commonly used than today’s lamanglupa (flesh of land animals ie ‘meat’ ‘red meat’).
Osa (usa)-venado, comun de dos. De modo que anes de conocer si es macho o hembra, le llaman osa; y despues de concido, songayan o libay/cpmmon name out of the two (the other being ‘sungayan’, ie ‘horned one’/buck). If they don’t know if it’s male or female, they just call it ‘osa’. But if they know it, they call them ‘songayan’ (for males ie buck) and libay (for females ie cierva/doe).
Note: Venison used to be a very common food in PH or at least in Luzon. I’ve read so many accounts of deer being hunted and consumed in many accounts in PH. Up until the early 19th c. it seems from various accounts that deer population in very forested PH was very common. There were accounts in 16th Luzon, wherein deer pelt was supposedly sold to Japanese traders by the tens of thousands annually, sold by hinterland dwellers to coastal traders who then sold it to plying foreign merchants (most known was Japanese, that is why a town in Pangasinan was called ‘Port of Japan’ ie Agoo, Pangasinan, source: per one of the accounts in BnR). But as the forests were destroyed and deer population declined starting in the late Spanish era, deer became a fairly rare commodity. Today deer is very rare and supposedly populations declined 30% in just 25 years. Great account of Tagalogs hunting deer, and hunting culture in general in Luzon, is Paul Gironiere’s accounts from 19th c.
Anuang (anuwang), carabao (kalabaw)-bufalo, animal conocido son muy mansos los caseros. Los cimarrones son peores que toros de Xarama. ‘Calaquian es el macho, cabayiyan y la hembra./Bufalo, that are very much tamed by its owner. (In comparison to…) The Aetas of the mountains are worse than Jarama River’s bulls. The bulls are called “calaquian” and the heifers “cabayiyan”.
Note: Cimarrones ie “Maroons” are a name given to mountaineers who avoid being ‘civilized’ by converting and living in the lowlands, in PH a term mostly given to Aetas. Jarama River is known for vicious bulls used in Spanish bullfighting. Anuwang is native word for 'water buffalo'; versions of it eg anoa, benuang came from PAn \qaNuaŋ. 'Kalabaw' is a term that came to PH via Malay 'kerbau', which some argue came from Old Khmer 'krapi', modern Khmer 'krabey'.*
Sungayan-cornudo el venado, buey, bufalo, no lo llaman asi. sale de sungay, cuerno. afrentanse los naturales si los llaman. asi porque saben lo que significa metaforicamente en nuestra lengua/horned animal: deer, ox or buffalo. From sungay, horns. The natives are insulted if they are called that because (now) they know what it means in our language.
Note: Sungayan means horned beast, but also means ‘male’ of it’s kind, specifically for a deer ie a buck ‘sungayan’ ‘one with the horns’. The latter part’s meaning: cornudo means “cuckold” in Spanish/Italian (metaphorically, ‘one who is ‘horned’ per online sources from stags fighting over a female deer, the better stag with bigger horns wins over the female for the right to mate), so the natives don’t like to use it on themselves because of its metaphorical meaning in Spanish (even though it doesn’t mean that it their native tongue).
Lucba (lukba), locma (lukma)-carne de carabao/meat of the carabao. Eg. Nagpapayicpic aco ng locma. “I am squeezing ie flattening to make thin, this meat of the carabao.”
Note: They seem to use carabao often for jerky. See entry: tapa. Payicpic meaning: ‘aprensar entre dos cosas otra. como lana, en almohada/To squeeze (something) in between two other things. Like wool inside a pillow.’ The Sp. trans. means 'to press'...so like these are very thin.
Cambing (kambing)-cabra mansa/domesticated goat.
Lambayan-cabron macho por castracastrated male goat.
Batang cambing, anac nang cambing-cabrito/young goat.
Babuy (baboy)-puerco comun de dos...puerco...puerca/pig, common name of the two (kinds)….’babuy na lalaqui’ ‘male pigs’...’babuy na babayi’ ‘sows’. Eg. Babuy co siya caya co pinana. “I own that pig, that's why I shot him the arrow.”
Pangil (pangil or pang-il)-puerco de monte o javali/wild pig or javalina. Eg. Laquin pagcapangil! “Oh that’s a large boar!”.
Note: Pangil means fangs ie ‘one with the tusk’. Modern term for this wild pig is “barako” which is copied from Spanish ‘berraco’ ‘boar’ trans. as ‘bologan’ ‘male wild pig’.
Buyic (buyik, biik)- lechon de leche/suckling piglet.
Culig (kulig) or bulao (bulaw)-lechon/(suckling) piglets. Eg. Ylan ang bulig ng babuy mo? “How many piglets did your sow have”?
Note: I cannot find an entry for roasting whole pig, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t done by ancient Filipinos (because it is common around the world, esp. in Asia). Obviously ‘lechon’ is copied from the Iberians’ preference to eating young animals eg. veal/baby cow meat, for tenderness of meat. But likely Filipinos already made today's ‘lechon’ ie ‘whole roasted pig’ in pre-colonial times.
Manuc (manok)-gallina en comun/hen/chicken to most.
Note: Manuc/nagmamanuc is also the term here for agurero/a, agujera/o ie augurs ie manghuhula. Those who use the old religion for divination. The name is called such because they slaughter chickens, open them up and read how the entrails looked for signs/augurs to foretell the future. It is also the root word for ‘tigmamanukan’ birds and other animals that give signs.
Ynahin (inahin)-ponedera gallina/hen, chicken who lays eggs. Eg. Mataba yaring inahin. “This hen is fat.”
Labuyo-gallina del monte/wild chicken. Eg. Manlabuyo ca. “Catch wild chicken.”
Ytic (itik)-pato casero/domesticated duck. Eg. Maytic yaring Sanglay. “This Chinese person has plenty of ducks.”
Soliyasir (sulyasid)-pato pequeno ay muchos de estos. andan sobre aguados; y en pasando alguna persona cerca de ellos, se hunden de bajo del agua/tiny ducks, there are many of them! They glide on water really slow but when someone goes near them they dive under water.
Note: From online research only thing I got was that these are ‘diving ducks’...cannot tell which specific specie. Perhaps the tufted duck (???) https://www.facebook.com/friends7lakes/videos/951708921547557/?v=951708921547557
Papan-pato real pero no manso. Estan grande o mayer que una gallina, y buena carne/a wild duck. They are big, even bigger than chickens and they have great tasting meat.
Note: This is the Philippine duck/anas luzonica, an endemic endangered specie ie only in the PH, with blue bill. This specie also dives, per entry: solasor (sulasod): ‘Sungmusolasor ang papan’ ‘The duck is eating (by diving under water).’
Baliuis (baliwis)-añade, pato pequeno de buena carne...son menores que el papan/small duck that has great tasting meat…they are smaller than papan.
Note: In the example, ‘binabaliuis (binabaliwis) ang palay/destroying rice, because the ducks are chopping down (the stalks)’. This is the specie dendrocygna arcuata/wandering whistling duck per online sources.
Sumbali-degollar hombre o animal sin quitar la cabeza/slaughter a man or animal without removing the head. Eg. Sumumbali ca niyang babuy “Slaughter this pig.”
Tong-ol (tanggal), pugot-degollar quitando de un golpe la cabeza/to slaughter using a blow to take the head off.
Potot (putot)-quebrar el pescuezo a persona, animal, o pescado etc. de modo que cayga la cara, o hoizco sobre el pecho/break the neck of a person, animal or fish etc. by pushing the head to the chest. Eg. Pototin mo ang liig niyang isda. “Break the neck of the neck of this fish.”
Tolao (tulaw)-acogotar cualquiera animal: el propio significado es meter una pluma, a la gallina, por el cogote, y de aqui lo toman/to kill any animal. The proper way they do it: they grab feathers of the hen's neck and take it from there. Eg. Tinulao co ang baca at ang hindi maalam tumulao ang cocinero. “I grab the cow's neck because the cook don't know how to butcher.”
Note: I don’t know if my translation is any good, but I think it says that you take ‘a pen’ (I’m assuming a knife or a dart ie plumbata) and then wring the neck. Another term, would be 'pluma' as in plumage or feather...maybe to 'take feathers' or 'grab feathers' and then slit the throat? Not sure. Acogotar in Spanish's root word is 'cogote' ie 'neck'. In Sp., it means to kill/butcher by a blow to the neck. Another dictionary of old terms says ‘to smash head of chicken’ or ‘butcher a chicken by multiple blows to the neck.’ In Sanlucar’s 1860 dictionary it says something similar as in this dictionary: ‘'to hold hen by the neck by it's pluma/feather ???'. I’m assuming per context that it’s draining the blood by slitting the neck. In Bergano's Pampango dictionary 'acogotar' is translated as 'pucpuc' or 'dugmo' which is 'to catch by hair of the neck to bend head or force it to bow'. If anyone has better trans. I welcome it. I also think this maybe an etymology for ‘tinola’ ie ‘tinulaw’ ie ‘chicken slaughtered in this manner’.
Lapa, lapi-descuartizato quarter (a butchered animal). Eg. Lumapa ca niyang babuy (trans. ‘lechon’). “Cut/dismember this piglet.” Magihao ca nang isang lapi. “Roast a quarter (of this carcass).”
Note: In another entry there’s a literal meaning to ‘descuartizar’ ‘quarter’ mentioned: ‘inapat’ ‘to divide in four’. Lipa also seems the term specifically used for chicken and birds.
Malaman-carnudo hombre etc./stout (lit. "fleshy") man etc. Eg. Malaman cang lubha "You're very big." Malamang babuy "Fleshy and fat pig."
Laman-pulpa carne sin gueso/meat without bone. Eg. Yihao mo iyang laman ng babuy “Roast this pork meat.”
Maganit-duro o dura carne/dark or tough meat. Eg. Nagungmaganit cun lotoin. “It hardens when they cook it.”
Otac (utak)-cana el meollo del hueso/core of the bone ie bone marrow. Eg. Conan mo nang otac iyang boto. “Take out the marrow out the bone.”
Labot-panza en que se recojen los escrementos/the maw/abomasum/’belly’ in which excrement is collected. Eg. Hogasan mong magaling ang labot nang osa. “Wash the maw of the deer really good.”
Bahay canin (bahay kanin)-buche de hombre o animal/crop of a man or animal.
Note: For birds, entries for ‘buche’ is tali and tingca.
Linoab-redano de puerco en que esta en buelta la panza/mesentery of the pig which is in behind the abdomen. Eg. Conan mo nang linoab. “Remove the mesentery.”
Quiapo (kiyapo)-asadura a semejanza de una yerba llamada asi/viscera it is called thus because of an herb that looks like it.
Note: Pig entrails per example. It is translated thus because this dish was shaped like the famous ‘kiyapo’ (where the district in Manila ie Quiapo is named) water lilies in the Filipino version. Likely they arranged tripe and intestines shaped like water lilies.
Binobong (binubong ng baboy)-morcon o tripas del puerco/intestines or tripe of a pig.
Note: Morcon is a type of chorizo that uses the casing ie the intestinal lining to hold the sausage together. Versions of the PH today it's called 'murkon' 'murcon' etc. and it looks a lot like 'embutido'. However not sure if is the native name for this type of sausage or a general term for the GI tract of pigs, I leaned towards the latter per context.
Baga-pulmones del cuerpo/lungs. Eg. Namamaga ang bag nitong babuy. “The pigs (carcass) lungs are swollen.”
Note: The word ‘pulmones’ is used here because it’s for both men and animals. The usual terminology for animal lungs to be eaten in Spanish is ‘bofes’ (where Filipinos got the term for pork lung stew ‘bopis’). The significance of the example is swollen pig’s lungs is a sign of a parasite, trichonosis in pigs (that’s why in many cases, wild pigs are not eaten here in the US). In another entry, the author made a point using ‘marami’ from root ‘damil’ which is ‘suave’ ‘smooth’ in native Tagalog to make a distinction of ‘good’ meat.
Apdo-Hiel generalmente/gall bladder. Eg. Napisa ang apdo niya. "His gallbladder bursted."
Note: Another word used for bile as well. There is a term used in this dictionary is ‘calapating ualan apdo’ (kalapating walang apdo ie ‘pigeon lacking bile’) which is a metaphor (I think). Rizal used this term in El Filibusterismo...but honestly I don’t know what it means.
Atay-higado/liver. Eg. Atay nang osa "Deer's liver."
Orilat-pajarilla de hombre o puerco etc./spleen of people or animals. Eg. Yihau mo yaring orilat ng babuy. “Roast the spleen of this pig.”
Lapay-bazo del hombre o animal/pancreas of man or animal.
Balonbalonan (balunbalunan)-molleja de gallina o de otra ave/gizzard of the chicken and other birds. Eg. Yyhao mo ang balonbalonan nang manuc. “Roast the chicken gizzards.”
Togatog (tugatog)-rabadilla del ave. Rabadilla de gallina los mismo es tolatorump of birds. Tolatod specifically means chicken butt. Eg. Mataba ang tolator nitong manuc. “What a fat rump this chicken has.”
Note: Today, ‘tugatog’ means ‘peak of a mountain’ ‘pinnacle’ ‘apex’. Likely used in this context because chicken butts look like small mountains.
Lomo-lomo de puerco; no tiene nombre propio/pork loin; it has no proper name (in this language).
Note: Except it gives ‘balogbog’ as loin or spine of animal as well as ‘gologor’ (gulugod) and ‘tayortor’ (tayudtod)...so I don’t know what that means. Maybe there’s a specific term for porkloin cut in Spain but not in the PH (except what’s generally used for all animals).
Ayip-ip-quarto delantero de cualquier animal/the front quarter of an animal.
Hipic-hipican (hipik-hipikan), hoyac-hoyacan (huyak-huyakan) or himpac-himpacan (himpak-himpakan)-hijares del hombre o animal/flank or side of a person or animal.
Caimotan (kaimutan)-pestorejo cualquiera animal/back of neck/shoulder of any animal. Eg. Mataba ang caimotan nitong babuy. “This pig’s shoulders are fatty.”
Dibdib-pechuga de cualquiera ave/breast of any bird. Eg. Mataba ang dibdib niring manuc. “This chicken’s breasts are fatty.”
Pantog-bejiga/bladder. Eg. Pantog nang usa. “Deer’s bladder.”
Paa-pata de cuaalquiera animal/leg of any animal. Eg. Lotoin mo ang manga paa nang baca. “Cook the legs of this cow.”
Taba-gordura cualquiera que sea. Gordura de puerco,...pescado…, no tiene gordura/fat of any kind. Eg. Taba ng babuy “Pork lard” Taba nang isda “Fish fat.” Ualan taba “Lean/skinny”.
Taba-pringue de tocino/fat from bacon.
Taba-unto de puerco/pork lard (from which an ointment is made).
Taba-tocino/bacon. Eg. Ualan taba “No bacon.”
Taba-sebo de vaca etc./tallow of cow etc. Eg Taba ng cambing “Goat fat/tallow.”
Cabacab (kabakab)-rana, comestible/frog, edible.
Palacang langit (palakang langit)-sapo que brotan del polvo. Con las primeras aguas/toad that sprout from the dust, from the first waters.
Note: Palacang langit (‘heavenly toad’ 'frogs from sky') is a real specie/s of toad. Not sure what type it is...I originally thought this was a 'mythological frog' but there are species of ground toads that burrow in the soil and 'magically appear' once the first monsoon rains water the ground. Palakang langit is a term for frogs when they appear when rains come.
Palaca (palaka)-mas pequena que cabacab...esta no la comen/a frog smaller than the cabacab...the natives don’t eat this.
Cocac (kokak)-rana, y llaman lo asi por el canto/frog, which they call such because of its song (ie ‘kokak’, an onomatopoeia).
Ytlog (itlog)-guevas de qualquiera pescado...ave. 'ytlog nang isda', 'ytlog nang manuc' Tambien los de los pescados 'ytlog nang buaya'...'ytloguin', el pescado que las tiene/eggs of different kinds of fish and birds. "Ytlog ng isda" "Fish roe", "Ytlog nang manuc (manok)" "Chicken eggs", true also for other water-borne creatures "Ytlog nang buaya (buwaya)" "Crocodile eggs". "Ytloguin", "fish that is found with roe (inside)". Eg. At dimo ynitlogan iyang sabao? "Why didn't you throw eggs in the broth/soup?"
Note: It’s quiet common for Filipinos to cook an egg along with food as a side dish eg. When rice is cooking. Also eggs are used to thicken soup in various PH dishes.
Boroc (burok, bulok)- yema del huevo...en los Tingues, apyoc/egg yolk, in the mountains, 'apyoc'. Eg. Aquin ang boroc, at iyo ang puti. "The egg yolk is mine, and the egg whites are yours."
Puti-clara de guevo/egg white.
Ylioilio (ilyo-ilyo ???)-codorniz, ave conococida/quail as this bird is called. Eg. Magandang pag silin ang ilioilio. “It’s nice to eat this quail.”
Balang-langosta/locust.
Types of locusts: locton (luktong) “when they are small”, paclong (tipaklong) “green and brown grasshopper, it is a good bait for fish”
List of lizards:
‘Small lizards’ ‘lagartija’: butiqui (butiki) ‘gecko’ ‘lives in the house and does no damage’, tuco (tuko) ‘tokay gecko’ “poisonous...it walks around inside the house singing” (Note: it is not), timbabalac (timbabalak) ‘skink’, bangcalan (bangkalang) or bubuli ‘salamander’, bayauac (bayawak) ‘monitor lizar’.
Pasda-parte que se da de casa o pesca a los vecinos o amigos/part (of meat) taken from hunting or fishing, to neighbors or friends. Eg. Di ca magpasda sa amin anang dala mong osa? “You don’t want to give us a portion of the meat from the deer (you’ve hunted) brought with you?”
Note: This is probably the native version of ‘balato’...albeit there is a term for ‘balato’ ie ‘barato’ (Sp. For ‘cheap’). Per author: ‘Balato-what those who gamble (ie who win) give (away). They took the word from those who taught them how (to play Sp. card games) (sic) and use the term as such.’ Barato is also the origin of the modern Tagalog slang for ‘frugal’ ‘cheapskate’ ie ‘barat’. Regardless aspect of community giving didn't come from Spain, you can see this even among Aetas---a person who acquires resources gives away a piece of it eg meat or food from hunting/scavenging to the whole village; expecting to be treated likewise when others are lucky in the future.

Edit: thanks for all the input everyone, I appreciate it. I was leaning towards the pst2 at first but now I will be looking much more closely at the BTR2 as it seems like a good balance of features and price.
Hey guys, I am looking at getting into long range shooting and need help settling on a scope. I will be putting this scope on 6.5 creedmoor bolt gun (suprising no one, it will likely be a Bergara HMR). I am looking to spend about $800 and I think I have narrowed it down to 3 different scopes. I have only been able to handle 1 of these scopes in person (the Vortex Viper) , the other ones are not available in a store anywhere near me. My intended use case for this rifle/scope is punching paper at various distances (nearest range is only 300yds, but I can get to 700+ with a bit of a drive) and possibly doing some precision rifle classes. Also, I have read the posts made by trollygag in the wiki/faq about scopes, which I used to help narrow down my choices.
Scope 1: Vortex Viper PST gen 2 5-25 (EBR-7C MRAD)
https://vortexoptics.com/viper-pst-gen-2-5-25x50-ffp.html?vortex_reticle=1503
What I Like:

1. Vortex Warranty, which is the best there is as I understand it.
2. Good Glass from what I was able to tell at the store.
3. Reticle seems decent
4. Magnification Range
5. Can be found around my budget
6. Many positive reviews (including on this sub)
7. FFP
8. Made in the Philippines

What I Don't Like:

1. Weight, coming in at 31.2oz
2. Length, 15.79 inches
3. I have heard that the adjustment ring is stiff, may need to buy a throw lever.
4. No "shake awake" feature for the illumination

Scope 2: Primary Arms GLx 6-24 (Athena BPR Mil)
https://www.primaryarms.com/glx-6-24x50-ffp-rifle-scope-athena-bpr-mil
What I Like:

1. Weight, this scope is only 24.5oz
2. Turrets seem like that are really nice, with an easy to set zero stop.
3. Shake Awake (I like this feature as I routinely forget to turn off my scopes.)
4. Visually, I prefer this scope's look to the others (silly, I know)
5. Comes with a small throw fin on the magnification ring for easier adjustments.
6. FFP
7. Similar warranty to Vortex
8. Made in the Philippines

What I Don't Like:

1. No reviews about this scope, could be a bit of a gamble.
2. Magnification range is more narrow than the Vortex.
3. Not in stock as of typing this post.

Scope 3: Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 4.5-27 (APRS5 MIL)
https://athlonoptics.com/product/ares-btr-gen2-4-5-27x50-aprs5-ffp-ir-mil-hd/
What I Like:

1. Length, coming in at only 13.8 inches
2. Weight, 27.3oz
3. Magnifcation Range is 4.5-27, which is awesome.
4. FFP
5. Magnification ring fin
6. Lifetime warranty.

What I Don't Like:

1. Made in China. This is a minor thing, but compared the other scopes in this list, I consider it a negative.
2. I think this scope looks the worst of the bunch.
3. Seems to be about $50 over my budget (at least where I was able to find it online.)
4. The brand seems to be newer than the others, thus I worry about how long they will be around (for warranty concerns, much like how Nikon is handling things now that they are out of the scope game).
5. No shake awake.

I have also considered some other scope brands, like Sightron or the Brownells MPO line, which I also like since they are made in Japan. The MPO is 37oz and a 34mm tube though and I do not know much about the Sightron brand as a whole.
Lastly, would I be losing out much if I went down to the ~3-15x magnification range on any of these scopes, especially given that I do not have any extended shooting ranges close by? Some of the things I like about the lower magnification scopes is that they are typically lighter and shorter.
