I think this gets into the "victim as virtue" idea. I remember Helen Dale (Australian lawyer/author) talking about how Roman society didn't have a concept for virtue in victimization. Works like the Book of Job didn't really resonate in Roman society. Dales makes the argument Romans didn't believe in refinement through trial, although I question that stance since they did have The Odyssey and other popular works/theater that fit the standard heroes journey.
If Christianity was the moving force that pushed the idea of virtuous persecutions (e.g. "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven."), it would make sense that people would eventually seek out persecution as a means of increasing their virtue.
Shooting has now been implemented.

#AskFedi, Is there a way I can send messages through #DeltaChat from a script, so that I could use it for sending myself notifications (e.g., reminders) from a separate Delta account?

You've probably noticed in the previous video that the player would make a "bump" before landing on the platform. I fixed it.

"But it's not capitalism it's...." Nobody cares, it's indefensible.
This isn't a new pattern limited to the AI bubble, it's the same scam just becoming more blatant as power consolidates.
Just started programming on my next game dev project. Right now, I only have movement and the gravity flipping mechanic implemented, but more is to come!
