Wonderful.

The fact of the matter is that they don't actually follow the Christian faith.

And so when actual Christian doctrine gets put in front of them (i.e. humility, compassion, and charity) they are flabergasted.

They will talk a big game about how important their faith is, but will turn a blind eye to someone in need because of ignorance, hate, or greed. Even though the Bible calls upon you to "Feed the hungry", "Clothe the naked", and to treat all people with dignity and kindness.

The only way to really make a change is to continue to push on this like Pope Francis does here. To be unwavering in your good nature. Regardless of what doctrine or philosophy you choose to anchor yourself around.

I genuinely think there was no greater insight into the modern Christian mindset than when the Pope said he very much hoped Hell was empty and he was absolutely hounded by both Catholics and Protestants outraged at the idea of a man who wanted a place of infinite suffering to have nobody in it.

History will remember

Crazy to think we're finally down to the last week here before the election and I just want to say this. To all of you who may be considering NOT voting in this election or voting third party...be aware that whatever happens in the future can be traced back to your decisions now. If Trump's Project 2025 were to come to pass and the Supreme Court upholds everything, you need to ask yourself... Where was I on November 5th? Why didn't I vote? Or why did I vote third party instead? Why didn't I try to stop Project 2025? As much as the crisis in Palestine matters, it's just as important to think about the people here in the USA who will be impacted by Trump and the GOP's plans. Is it fair to completely ignore American lives? Perhaps you might even be someone who thinks Project 2025 is "fearmongering" and couldn't come to pass...but that doesn't mean there's a 0% chance of it happening. Even if only 25% of it were to be implemented, that 25% is still too much and would radically shift the USA forever. There's a very real chance that we can see a collapse of freedoms here in the USA, and we've already seen this with the Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v Wade. The judges who ruled to do this were put on the court by Trump. I understand there's a lot of things that democrats and liberals might be unhappy about right now...I get we don't have the absolute perfect candidates. But is it worth ignoring the reality of our democracy and personal freedoms being stripped away? This is our future on the line. We only get one shot at this. To reiterate, I understand the frustration with our two-party system, the horrible genocide in Gaza, and conflicting messages concerning Harris' values. It's good to have a strong demand for justice and reform because everyone deserves better. With that said, it's impossible to get where we want if we don't vote for the candidate that has the most similar goals to us. Even more important to vote down ballot to ensure we get a huge majority in the House and Senate. Once we have the Presidency, House, and Senate, change can truly begin. However, for so long, it's been slim majorities that have little power to implement change. That or the House might be red while the Senate is barely blue or vice versa. This has killed so many incredible bills that would have helped the American people. It's not so simple as just voting in the President--we need the House and Senate. Not as a slim majority, but a HUGE majority. So if you're sitting there frustrated and wondering why a Democratic government hasn't done x or y, that's the reason. We've yet to see a BIG majority in the House and Senate. So to go back to my previous point, this election is going to potentially decide the freedoms we possess and whether we get to keep them or not. Harris has openly stated her values and policies that are favorable in safeguarding personal freedom. For example, she has voiced her concern for safe abortion access as well as securing our right to vote. She has openly stated we need a ceasefire in Gaza. Trump has voiced the opposite and called for restricting our voting rights, and he is favorable to the Gaza genocide. Is that okay? When you look back at this years from now, you don't want to have any regrets. When you vote, you make your mark on history. How do you want to be remembered?

Long story short, I have a talented friend whose superpower is to create awesome action/adventure storylines that can easily be translated into a game plot or miniseries, and they never cease to amaze and inspire me. Much to my chagrin, they rarely post, so I can't give you a link to the story, but I can show a bunch of concepts I did based on my friend's fanfiction. "After wreaking havoc on Eggman's ship, the hedgehogs teleport away from the explosion. Chaos Control goes awry, and two hapless heroes find themselves in the depths of the mountains. To get back to the surface, they will have to work together, whether they like it or not."

I can't believe Shadow the Hedgehog got infected with the Uroboros virus

Somewhere out there, there is a mock-Jar Jar Binks puppet sitting in a Lucasfilm warehouse.

It must be set free.

and i count my blessings every day

We are all so fucked

Halo 4 is probably the piece of media that I have the biggest love/hate relationship with.

It feels so close to being something great but doesn't quite hit the mark.

Not to mention how its a game that was the start of a storyline/trilogy that didn't really go anywhere, leaving the feeling that it was the start of something special that never got a proper follow up
