Minecraft Java Edition runs natively in Linux. But kids these days are probably playing Bedrock... chumps.

First they came for the circuses and I did not speak out, for I was not a clown.

Dude looks like he's in full fight or flight mode if I'm being honest. Quite possibly induced by some pharmacological substance, but a base physiological response nonetheless. What could he be afraid of, I wonder?

Is CNBC blocking VPN access? I get an "access denied" error when trying to visit this link.

Yes, Trump supporters honestly believe that the vast majority of undocumented migrants are criminals and terrorists. They honestly believe that the Democrats are trying to create a Soviet style dictatorship. They honestly believe we need a strongman to rid the country of people who are genuinely trying to destroy it. I know a bunch of them; they think they're helping.

Drake, his brow furrowed, his palm exposed.

Don't worry, everyone got called a fag at least once a week. I'm sure none of us ended up gay. Also there was one black kid and he got arrested for weed.

under the guise of war

There's no guise. This is the way war has been prosecuted for millennia. The Geneva Convention, UNHRC, etc. are blips. War is genocide and always has been. Only in the late modern to post-modern era has war been something other than the complete annihilation of your enemies and their culture, including all the infanticide and rape that implies. If you're, for instance, the US prosecuting a war for nebulous geopolitical reasons, then you can slap up a veneer of rules and conduct. If it's a war of territorial expansion, on the other hand, you'd better be prepared to do what it takes to stamp out any trace of the people who originally lived there, or at least leave those who remain so broken and disempowered that they'll never pose a threat.

Fry: But we have to! The world needs Star Trek to give people hope for the future.

Leela: But it's set 800 years in the past!

Bender: Yeah, why is this so important to you?

Fry: 'Cause it-it taught me so much. Like how you should accept people, whether they be black, white, Klingon or even female. But most importantly, when I didn't have any friends, it made me feel like maybe I did.

Frankly, I think the Milgram Shock Experiment is more elucidating as to... hey, wait a minute.
