sanity_is_maddening

This year I had to euthanize a cat I had the pleasure to have in my life for almost 14 years. I saw her come into this world right out of her mum, and I was there when she died. Afterwards, we brought her from the veterinarian and buried her in my mother's backyard.

She had late stage cancer. I never knew when was the right moment to say "it's time". The fucked up part is that we can't get verbal confirmation that "this is it" for them.

She could barely walk or breathe by the end and I didn't know if I was being selfish or if I was stealing time that she still wanted to have. It was brutal. Everyday was just one more day that I wanted to say goodbye.

And then one day I saw her struggle so much to breathe and said "it's time". The meds didn't work anymore and I couldn't ease her suffering in any way anymore.

That moment still sounds far off with your beloved friend. Treasure those cozy and snuggled naps they love to take and be kind to yourself as you navigate it all.

Well, I've never found a case or a context where decentralisation and the subsequent federation are not the best option for stability and longevity.

The basic principle to any sustainable and stable model requires sovereignty.

Otherwise it's all a ticking bomb that goes out when the imposed setting displeases too many without them having control over their decisions and context, in which rebellion becomes the necessity to end that cycle.

Without decentralization, it's all a never-ending succession of predictable cycles.

And this is true in literally everything. When power consolidates, it's all a matter of time until a shift in paradigm is required. Because rule is imposed disregarding context. Which is illogical but also inevitable in a centralised construct. This is not necessary when sovereignty is paramount and the individuals can make decisions that fit the context in which they reside.

So, this is isn't any different.

And your idea is perfectly adequate to solve the current problem in online gaming.

Oh, I know and I agree.

But it's still ridiculous and awful to see these children, their children nonetheless become victims of abuse while they pretend it's not happening.

Because if there's any single one thing I am supposed to share with these mindless people is an aversion to the abuse of children. And if that were me and my community I would burn that institution to the ground until I found every trace of this.

If they kept their end of the watch as they claim others should I would at least respect their zeal as true. This way I got nothing for them. Absolutely nothing.

But I still don't want that to happen to those kids. This shouldn't happen. Period. Pointing out their hypocrisy and calling for their outrage to start by "cleaning their own house" works. I've seen it first hand. They don't like it when they know you're right even according to their narrow view of the world. If we just uphold them to the standard they believe they have, they don't have an out.

And less kids end up like this as a result.

Isn't it ironic that the "let's protect the children" crowd allows the children of their base to be the most abused, molested and sexually assaulted?

More than any other group and without creating any repercussions to the institution that harbours the highest percentage of verified pedophiles.

Last time I checked the numbers, 6% of Priests have engaged sexually with a minor. That's numbers that even shitty Hollywood can't even compete with.

Can verify this. South of Portugal here. Just got home and there was 43°C outside an hour ago when I looked at a thermometer. I feel like I cannot think or process information in days like these. Awful to exist like this.
