No, they were not. AI was probably used for translation.

It's an aardpup

You can have impact personally. That's why many people hesitate to join a group and actually do something - they don't understand only if they are personally active they can matter. Not doing anything because a person feels like activity is not realistic makes people resigned and idle.

Edit: I do understand your feeling of needing to have an impact. It's important to understand what kind of activity is worth devoting ones self to. I personally feel motivated to be active when I watch superhero movies, so I guess it can have different effects on different people. As always, things are not black and white.

I think it's actually really great to march in liberal countries to support communities from less tolerant places. In this interconnected world, it makes sense to support each other across the borders.

But even to take action in a group, you have to make the individual decision to join. You have to chose for yourself, which takes individual bravery, because even if you're part of a group, the responsibility and potential repercussions will be yours to deal with. A group always consists of individual people. I read superhero stories as stories about finding the bravery in yourself (the superpower) to go and join the good cause despite the terrible danger.

I don't agree with your view of superheros. I think they work as a metaphor of any person brave enough to stand up to evil. People never imagine they are the powerless population. The films focus on the heros and people personify with them - it's inspirational. There has also been a big stress on heros needing to team up lately. The movies did nothing wrong. I agree with everything else though.

It's not for people who were convicted. No due process allowed.

Do go for the shitty admins with no mercy though. We don't need Wiki to slowly rot from the inside.

Oh, wow, that's really not funny.

I'm a simple person. Let this sink in would be a good enough dad joke for me.

You can FORCE them if you stay on the good side. Always look on the bright side of force.

Exactly. People who want to believe certain things will find them in the Bible and will disregard the rest that's also written there. Belief is, unfortunately, irrational.

Not everyone knows. This information should be everywhere.

Yes, but the pope is only the head of the Catholics. The other branches don't care about him.

It's never been officially published and it's not in English - it trully is obscure. It was played several times though with enough success and I do have the whole thing on my computer somewhere, probably (or at least I know who to ask for it). I'm not sure it's worth reading in automatic translation, but if you're interested, I could send it to you.

That's the plot of a nice obscure theatre piece I know, but they don't travel that far, are awake, and see the other ships pass. It's awsome and fun for the audience and super frustrating for the characters.

The meaning of bread is pretty loose as it is, especially internationally.

Christian is not the same as Catholic though. Catholics are a minority in the US.

The institutions are shaped by people too. Hear hear, there are nice people and scumbags.

It has limits though - people can believe whatever, but they still shouldn't harm others.
