There was a pretty big security vulnerability. If you have a server, make sure you’re not affected.

Terrible Youtuber
YouTube keeps recommending me this awful girl. There’s a word for this, it’s called an ‘art h**’. I just loathe everything she is and represents. Her ‘artsy’ nature. The pretentiousness. The assumption she seems to have of herself that she has something deep and meaningful to say. Then everything she says is so predictable. I don’t even need to watch the video to know what she will say. It’s all the most basic opinions mascaraing as if it’s ‘counter-culture’.
Documentary Reconstruction

These sorts of documentaries are why I believe the only people who should really be creating historical content are those who are either from the group itself (be it Country, state, county, community, etc.) or are sympathetic to it. Shouldn’t even really be called reconstruction because it just mostly talked about what the federal and state governments did with the former slaves and white/black relations in this period. Never talked about the lives of common, white Southern farmers and never talked about how white women adapted after the Civil War.
Religion and Cotton

I think three important themes in chapters 10 and 11 were the changing landscape of religion, the establishment of cotton as being fundamental to the Southern economy, and slavery shaping Southern society and culture. Different denominations were rising and falling in popularity. The marked shift of more impassioned worship. Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian all grew in numbers. There was less emphasis on knowing theology inside and out. The Methodists were the best example of this.
1 Corinthians - Chapter 10
Categories:
Christianity
In chapter 9 Paul began with a defense of himself and all his liberties that he could potentially partake of. He said that while he could potentially partake, it does not edify. In chapter 10 he states that the reason for the Jew’s stumbling in the wilderness is to serve as an admonition for us. They murmured, the tempted Christ, they were idolaters, and subsequently many got destroyed.
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
Slavery Documentary

Had to watch this documentary about slavery. Mostly it was information I already knew, but there were a couple interesting parts. It’s definitely decently made and the content is fine enough. The low resolution doesn’t help though.
This YouTube channel as well appears to be a good source of history documentary playlists.
The first part I found interesting was about Harriet Tubman. She was also called “Moses”. Tubman would carry around a revolver with her, it’s purpose was not only for the slave catchers and dogs, but as a way to ensure everybody in the group moved forward, as a slave choosing to return would endanger the entire group.
1 Corinthians - Chapter 8
Categories:
Christianity
This chapter has to do with idols and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. We learn that idols are nothing.
As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. (1 Cor. 8:4)
There is no God but one, so whether we eat or we do not it doesn’t make a difference.
Amairo * Islenaut Masaki Route

Game is 天色＊アイルノーツ or Amairo * Islenauts. This game isn’t actually translated into English. It probably will be one day, but as long as it’s in the hands of translation companies and fan translations are taken down, then this game will probably not get into English. Why? You might be able to figure it out yourself with a little digging. The deeper reason is that Americans are Puritans. This is a pure visual novel, no gameplay.

Let’s check in on Ukraine today.
Top comment on video.
Gahahahahahahaha.
Sometimes I get the impression that Ukraine is fighting as much a PR war than a conventional war. Some things they do and say are so absurd.

I feel like if there’s one thing that Japan really taught me it’s that fun things are simply fun. Maybe this sounds obvious, but I think the average person in this country doesn’t really behave that way. You don’t need some greater reason. People spend their whole lives fretting about productivity and about how they can better make use of their time. Self-help books fly off the shelves, and you see people filling their free time on advice about how they could potentially make their lives better.
