Look, I’m 52 years old. I used to be way more interested in how things worked. Now I’m interested in how they fail. I don’t care how good the administration of Bluesky or Threads is today— I care about what happens if it sours tomorrow.
Facebook has broken so many promises. Remember when Facebook opened up to the general public in 2006 with the promise of being the pro-privacy alternative to MySpace? Remember when they told us they’d never collect and mine our data? They are liars, and we shouldn’t trust them.
But a company doesn’t have to be run by venal scumbags to put its own interests ahead of its users.
Many is the tech CEO who reasoned that selling out their users was the moral thing to do, because the alternative was firing dozens or hundreds of people who trusted them, quit their jobs, and jeopardized their mortgages and kids’ college funds to come work for the company.
Seen in that light, selling out your users is actually an act of noble self-sacrifice, in which your loyalty to your friends trumps even your pride in delivering a high-quality product.
-Fool Me Twice We Don't Get Fooled Again: There's a crucial difference between federatable and federated

On the one hand, Star Trek is a utopian future where you can do what you want for a living.
On the other hand, there’s something incredibly funny about Garak being a tailor despite there being no need for a tailor.
You can replicate clothes including their fit. You’re telling me a computer can’t get the exact measurements to a higher degree than a sentient being?
“I am but a simple tailor” oh honey there aren’t any of those

So every time a player (*cough* Tazercraft *cough* Tubbo *cough cough* Aypierre *cough) do something illegal and get kicked out of the server, this is what happens inside the lore

Ok but the reunions of the federation five (Cellbit, Elquackity, Jaiden, Foolish, Fit) would be soooo awkard LMAO
Cellbit is there to investigate but is just shocked and confused to see all of them there like " 🤨"
Elquackity exploding Cellbit's head with his mind and not caring about the others being there too
Jaiden sweating bc she didnt tell Cellbit much things
Foolish scared for his LIFE
Fit being the only one listening to Cucurucho talking but also sooo confused (and also exploding Foolish's head with his mind)

Mentorship
Hypocrisy, war and empathy. Since we arrived in Purgatory, we have seen the birth of a group that has an almost family-like relationship. The red team or BOLAS treat each other with affection and emotional dependence. But, especially, for q!Philza.
— As always, I will do the analysis from q!Cell's POV, but know that I love this team and the relationship between all the members.
q!Cellbit had already participated in very similar games. Nothing the Great Eye says or urges is new to him. In the hunger games he needed to face much more than three big groups and he knows what it takes to survive in games like that.
The thing is, when he was thirteen, his mentor was cold. Although q!Cell had affection for him and everything they went through by each other's side, q!Bad never worried about him or the fact that at the end of the day his partner was just a child.
No. q!Bad believed and did everything so that his partner didn't care about what he had to do to survive, be it eating human flesh or killing another child his age or older. q!Cellbit grew up in an environment where killing and dying was routine and if q!Bad had mushroom soup for him, it was more than he deserved.
He grew up learning that he himself was a monster and that he had to live with this reality.
However, this is not the view of all the mentors he has had.
q!Philza understands that all members of his team are human, just like those on other teams. For him, what they are doing is terrible and far from what he believes is right.
And although he agrees to do whatever it takes to protect his own, he will go toe-to-toe with "his children" so they can still try to be fair and, most importantly, humane. He fought for q!Cell to return q!Bad's things. He always reassures them that it's okay if they lose or if something happens, always offering help, something that q!Cellbit never had.
Despite all the bad memories that q!Cell is reliving, in addition to the cruelty he is committing and suffering without many obstacles, q!Philza accepts him, sees him as a human and a precious member of his team that he always tries to understand and listen.
q!Cellbit doesn't feel so alone.
We don't know what will happen returning to the island. I would really like the Bolas to take with them the relationship they have built.
Although I really want the continuation of Murder Husbands and the murders of Federation employees, I would also like some of what q!Cellbit learned from q!Philza to continue with him. In addition to asking for help to deal with all the pain and confusion he feels after all the discoveries about his life.
The relationship between mentor and apprentice, father and son that q!Philza and q!Cellbit can become even more beautiful. For now, I'm very happy with the fruits of Purgatory.
