  • Minecraft community. Love the game. Community turned into a bunch of toxic self-righteous a-holes. I had the displeasure of hosting a pvp server. Most people were alright but it only took a charismatic unemployed 20+ year old to rally half the server against the owner because we wouldn’t ban their enemies from the server.

    And the wider community that just whine that not every update is the Nether Update or Caves and Cliffs. Mojang messed up with 1.19, but it’s not that big of a deal and they seemed to have learned their lesson. (except for chat reports… Eugh) The Minecraft movie actually looks fun, just had a bad first trailer. So what if it fails. It won’t impact my enjoyment of the game. You can’t really add too much onto Minecraft because you can easily screw up the game. For example, using fireworks to boost elytra was a small feature in a pretty minor update, but I think it was one of the worse decisions, as it ruined any incentive for transport infrastructure.






  • In a way, yes. Good healthy families are a core of a functioning society. However some examples you gave:

    Why do you need a doctor’s appointment in the middle of the day?

    Unless you’re in a society where doctors are available in the evening, this is a silly question

    Why do you need to go pick up a prescription at lunch time

    Again, depends on the pharmacist’s opening hours

    like why can’t you work through lunch?

    This is just stupid completely

    They need the job a lot more. They have a little girl!

    This makes sense, as again, someone with a child needs to provide for a family

    Clearly they need it more than the the person who has a disabled spouse, because kids are way more important than an adult dependent!

    This is stupid and a disabled spouse or any dependent should also be taken into consideration

    We can’t fire this person, they have kids! Let’s choose someone who doesn’t have a family.

    This makes sense. Some people need more money than others. That’s a basic fact. You or I would find more value in £1000 than a billionaire would.

    Society flourishes when there are more middle class families flourishing. (By “more” middle class, I mean raising people to the middle class and maintaining those who are as well.) It is natural order that we should make society an easier environment to have a family in, rather than harder. Lest you end up like Japan or China with a declining population

    Society was wrong when it started to hate women who had more kids and lived off of child benefits (and maybe a husband’s wage helping as well). If they’re actually doing a decent job at parenting, let them.
