Who is #BINI ❓

🧵 — A Thread.
Hi. I’m a transsexual.
It has been clear to me since I joined the gender debate in 2023 that @jk_rowling was not only correct, but absolutely essential in the fight for my daughter’s rights.
Since then, everyone has tried to convince me that Ms Rowling hates me. And all I can say is that I’ve never seen evidence of such a thing. In the few brief interactions we have had, she had been kind and appreciative.
Every time you denounce her in the name of “trans” — you aren’t helping.
In fact, you’re making people despise ME because of what YOU are doing. People want to hurt us because of what you say. Stop talking for transsexuals. We support Rowling in her defense of women’s rights.
We are sickened that you keep speaking over us and for us.
If you want to help, shut your mouth. We can speak for ourselves.
❤️,
Chrissy

Psalms 46:1-3
God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!
Long post--sorry.
The fixation around physical media is a red herring.
People who obtained physical copies of Crimson Desert early weren't able to play it because the PS5 locked them out of playing it. You can look this up, multiple articles about the topic. Clearly physical media didn't save you then, and it won't save you when a licensing agreement expires and a game will no longer run on your software until you download an update that might remove features/content.
A good example of this is ironically Mixtape. Because the game has a large amount of licensed music, it's plausible that one of those contracts will expire and a patch will be pushed that removes a song from the game. If you don't download that patch, you will no longer be able to access or play the game.
Physical media isn't the holy grail, consumer rights and protections is. Why aren't we using Apple lighting cables and we are using USB-C instead? It's not because of Apple, it's because of the EU.
While PC players have more work-arounds for this issue, console players are at the mercy of updates they have no choice but to accept. Physical media won't save you from that.
The convenience of digital downloads should not be viewed as a forfeiture of consumer protections.
The reason why record labels still sell vinyls is because people still buy vinyls. While there are I'm sure some people who still purchase video games physically, I would guess that number is decreasing every year. If physical copies were popular, Gamestop would still have video games in it instead of Funko pops and tshirts.
I know this is the unpopular take to have. but you can't expect companies to keep making physical editions of games if not enough people are buying them.
My point with all of this is that a lot of peoples' concern and frustration comes from the lack of control they have over the media they "own". Physical media does not solve this problem when it's at the mercy of the software running the consoles/game launchers.
If you want to solve the problem, you should be supporting initiatives like Stop Killing Games @StopKilingGames.
"Abortion is the Antichrist's demonic parody of the Eucharist. That's why it uses the same holy words, 'This is my body,' with the blasphemously opposite meaning.
–Peter Kreeft
Lord…you are stirring my heart to pray for those who are uncertain about their every tomorrow; those who struggle with anxiety and don’t even know why it gets triggered. Please Jesus…come to their rescue. Let Your embrace surround them with inexplicable peace.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
-------------------
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen
Christ Is King!
A Chinese vessel tried to chase down a smaller Filipino fishing boat, only to get publicly embarrassed.
The Filipino fisherman turned the pursuit into a spectacle, mocked the bullies, and left them trailing helplessly behind.
