When you get all the responsibilities and none of the privileges, it's time to step back and let people handle carry their own weight.

Faut absolument que vous sachiez comment Ubisoft a traité cet homme (créateur de Assassin's Creed) comme une merde :

- en 2010 il commençait à dire qu'il voulait réduire la cadence avec les AC et que le fait d'annualiser la licence allait nuire à la qualité des jeux
- quelques mois après il est poussé vers la sortie et démissionne (sûrement harcelé par Ubisoft vous connaissez les méthodes 🥹)
- en 2011 il rejoint THQ qui fondent spécialement pour lui un sous studio et commence a bosser sur 1666 Amsterdam
- en 2013 Ubisoft rachète THQ et vire spécifiquement Patrice, et conservent par la même occasion tous les droits sur sa création 1666 Amsterdam
- en 2016, après 3 ans de bataille juridique acharnée, ils récupèrent les droits sur son jeu
- en 2026, 10 ans après, il nous présente enfin 1666 Amsterdam

A lot of people don’t vote based on facts.

They vote based on whether someone makes them feel seen.

BARRED FROM CHRISTIANITY’S HOLIEST SITE

Israeli police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to celebrate Palm Sunday mass, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem said.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is one of Christianity’s holiest sites, located in the Old City of Jerusalem. It is traditionally believed to be the place where Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and resurrected.

"This morning, the Israeli Police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, together with the Custos of the Holy Land, the Most Reverend Fr. Francesco Ielpo, OFM, the official Guardian of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as they made their way to celebrate the Palm Sunday Mass," a statement from the Patriarchate said.

It said the two were stopped while proceeding privately without any characteristics of a procession or ceremonial act, and had to turn back.

"As a result, and for the first time in centuries, the Heads of the Church were prevented from celebrating the Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre," the statement said.

"This incident is a grave precedent and disregards the sensibilities of billions of people around the world, who during this week, look to Jerusalem."

There was no immediate response from the Israeli police.

Since the Middle East war began on February 28, Israeli authorities have banned large gatherings, including at synagogues, churches and mosques.

Public gatherings are limited to around 50 people.

The Latin Patriarchate had already announced it had cancelled the traditional Palm Sunday procession that normally runs from the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem and draws thousands of worshippers each year.

"The heads of churches have acted with full responsibility and, since the outset of the war, have complied with all imposed restrictions," the Patriarchate said.

"Preventing the entry of the Cardinal and the Custos, who bear the highest ecclesiastical responsibility for the Catholic Church and the Holy Places, constitutes a manifestly unreasonable and grossly disproportionate measure," it said.

"This hasty and fundamentally flawed decision, tainted by improper considerations, represents an extreme departure from basic principles of reasonableness, freedom of worship, and respect for the status quo." | via Agence France-Presse (@AFP)

we don't stand to benefit from running away
but when we do come back, come back better
don't come back embittered and hardened
bearing the grudges long buried and mourned

[✨ Therene ✨ @itsTherene]

so go, if you must, let the going undo you
let it peel off the layers of who you were told
but come back to the table, come back to the people
come back to yourself, only older and whole

Haven't been to Cebu since 2019. Any recos in the city? Low traffic coffee shops? Slow-paced shopping areas? (Can't do a lot of tourist spots)
