It's been years since I played Minecraft, probably version 1.2 maybe, but

Is your statement meant to imply that one might miss the forest of US atrocities if one looks at every tree of genocide or civilian assassination or unjust imperial war as individual and unrelated incidents?
I feel like it did take a while to have the open-but-connected feel of Breath of the Wild. It has got there now but I was pretty concerned for a while about how disconnected the world felt. That was what made BotW so memorable, every part of the world had a characters with their own important story and the interaction Link had with those characters and their story mattered and would have meaningful effects on them.
Last night my dad was talking about this "liberal propaganda" about the "supposed climate crisis" talking about the movie Don't Look Up. Fuck it pissed me off, I don't know how to respond to that. Conservatives aren't in reality, every fact that disagrees with their backwards fantasy is just some kind of liberal conspiracy that "wise" men would never bother considering.
Right. I fight not because I believe I'll win, or even because I believe victory is "possible", but because it's more comfortable for me so to speak to be fighting than to quietly and passively support the ideology I disagree with. It is more "restful" to me to be fighting a fight I believe in than to be resting in a world I hate.

If I remember units correctly that is a frequency of # per billion seconds, yeah? That would be a frequency of once per 30 years, surely I'm missing something...
I really want to read more about this. The article doesn't mention how this new law intends to target pimps and sex-buyers without punishing sex-sellers. We see time and again laws "intended" to target the worst perpetrators of a crime regularly being used to instead target the victims of it. How is this law phrased to protect against that possibility?
Was that ever in any doubt?
I am no longer a Christian, I came from a super fundamentalist bent of Christianity. The idea of choosing to not sin even if you know your sins are forgiven has to do with love.
"For God so loved the world he gave his only son for our sins" etc
So the pastor tells us that we know we are a real Christian who is really saved by our "good fruits", that is, the good things we choose to do and the bad things we choose not to do. So by choosing not to sin, you're proving to yourself that God is real and that God really saved you, because, as everyone knows, it's impossible to be for even a moment anything but absolutely selfish without God's help.
Most Christians aren't that Calvinist though. That was the church I grew up in.
I like that. I've not drawn my personal philosophy so explicitly but if I did, I think it would be a lot like that.
You don't need to apologize for ranting here and certainly not for being angry anywhere. We have all been there as well and we are happy to support you while you grapple with this contradiction.
Society has been gaslighting you your whole life, telling you how "ordinary" people live and what you're "allowed" to feel upset about. They tell you that you aren't allowed to be mad about this, they tell you that is normal. You try following the rules they give you and you face abuse. You see the behavior of others and recognize that they don't follow the rules so you try acting just like them, and you face abuse.
Your pain is real and it is okay to be mad that you've been hurt.
I'll include the necessary, if pedantic, statement that, while it is perfectly fine to feel any magnitude of anger, the actions anger inspires a person to make are not always appropriate. Before you make any decisions that would harm yourself or others, try calling the mental health hotline of your country. That is what they exist for and you aren't wasting their time with your call.
