A Minecraft Movie Trailer Dive
Alright!! I have a hard time talking about things in a more real? manner like this but I feel like it's important to be honest and share thoughts.
So the Minecraft movie trailer is a trailer that exists and it's incredibly upsetting to say the least. i had always had hopes of it being entirely animated and be a sort fo film version of Minecraft: Story Mode but it's clearly not that at all. It's a shame too, it's incredibly disappointing to know it's live action as I am a HUGE advocate for animated movies and blockbusters and such. I think Minecraft is a game that is so fantastical and developed and normalized within it's own plane of existence that trying to translate it as anything other than an animated movie fundamentally goes against what the game is supposed to be.
Minecraft is creativity incarnate. It is a canvas for you to do quite literally anything with. And i think turning it into a pathetic cash grab live action movie is about as hard away as you can get from it's core values. You lazily slap real people to into the game to mock and laugh at and disrupt the flow of it's own universe. Treating this game as if it is nothing but a child' plaything despite the fact that people of any age can play it and find joy and excitement. I think the jokes and the overall childish view of the game is disgusting I think it belittles it, I think Minecraft as a whole, encourages all ages and helps develop personal understanding of the world around us and our own ideals. Maybe we'd like to build a large house, go on, here are hundreds of blocks to choose from! Loads of colors, be free!!! Perhaps you'd like to calm down and play with friends or even challenge yourselves, go on with multiplayer! There's servers and achievements!!! There's plenty of things to do. And I think one of the most important things is that, none of this is wrong or weird. None of this is an incorrect way of playing, nothing you do is bad. This isn't supposed to be humbling this isn't supposed to be stressful or something to laugh at. Your desires and plans are valid.
Perhaps as an autistic individual myself, I find that so comforting. I understand it's just a movie, but it's a movie that fundamentally gets everything wrong about this lovely game. I don't understand how these trailers and jokes and plot points are treated as if it's okay to be bad if it's for children. It's saddening.
Either way, moving onto a different subject that I have much more knowledge about and care too much of, the Piglins.
This trailer shows off that Piglins are meant to be the main antagonists, as well as the The Seer having a role in the plot. I have many problems with this, and I will be discussing this through the lens of my own experiences, especially as it comes to my race. (I am latino for those who don't know)
First things first, no, the Piglins aren't evil by any means. I know a lot of media has a very black and white view of them but honestly, take a moment to think about this.
Piglins are minding their business, having fun, living their lives, when a bunch of explorers come barging into their home, exploiting them for their willingness to barter, stealing their valuables right from their houses, and on top of that, being killed and hurt because they dare fight back and attempt to protect one another.
To me, it's incredibly disheartening to see Piglins being portrayed as some kind of aggressors, savages and barbaric monsters all because they want to protect their way of life. I don't understand how emotionless people seem to act toward them. They aren't even physically accurate to the game models. They wear clothes, they use tools, they talk amongst themselves. It's very disgusting to see how this group that is CLEARLY INTELLIGENT BTW (they make music, tools, clothes, armor, buildings, homes and have a complex social system) being drawn and shown in less clothes, more violent tendencies, a more destroyed home and life, even showing violence among themselves to portray them as anything other than the interesting and complex species they are.
I'm just tired of the racist undertones that most Piglin plots seem to have. I find it insulting to them, i find it concerning regarding the language used. 'barbaric' 'crude' 'savage'
Just makes me angry.

The imposition of the largest sanctions program since the Second World War in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine remains a key tool for limiting the Kremlin’s war machine. But it has inadvertently also had substantial secondary and tertiary effects, from the rewiring of European energy networks to myriad lawsuits over what insurers should have to pay for the Kremlin’s seizure of over 400 Western aircraft.
These unintended consequences have garnered far less attention than the intended ones, but the former are still multiplying and there are tens of billions of dollars already at stake in them. While sanctions rightfully continue to be tweaked to maximize their impact, policymakers have not paid due attention to the legal spats and sanctions challenges that have already arisen in their wake. Their outcome will greatly determine the effectiveness of the sanctions and the extent to which the Kremlin or the West will bear their cost.
This is not the first time the West has had to deal with such issues. At the outbreak of the war with Japan in 1941, the U.S. seized assets and businesses owned by Japanese nationals on its soil, acting under the Trading with the Enemy Act. These actions, while directed primarily at the war-time adversary, inevitably wrought a lot of collateral damage, as investors in Japanese enterprises, their creditors, or depositors in Japanese-owned banks, were often the American public.
It took years to untangle the resulting mess. And yet, when all was said and done, the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress acted to protect the interests of these investors, and ensure both the orderly liquidation and the equitable distribution of proceeds to those affected. Thus, the depositors of Yokohama Specie Bank, had their claims on the “yen certificates” preserved in a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1967, allowing the certificate holders to recover at least some economic value from proceeds of the bank’s liquidation.
In short, there is a blueprint for handling the legal spats that result from waging economic war. That blueprint, in broad terms, is to act forcefully against the economic interests of the enemy, yet make full use of the institutions of law and justice for the interests of affected parties at home.
Today, as Russia and the West remain engaged in a full-scale economic war, this blueprint seems largely ignored. What we see instead, is perhaps the opposite: The adversary ruthlessly subverting the toolkit of the “rules-based international order” for its benefit with lawsuits that seem to lead Western institutions down the path of treading softly where Russian interests are concerned, while Western investors and, of course, Ukraine take the brunt of the costs and receive little or no protection.
Consider the June G-7 summit, where member states united on a plan for using the returns earned by Russia’s $300 billion in frozen sovereign assets to aid Ukraine, of which $200 billion are held as cash and securities at the Belgian financial company Euroclear. Leaders of the G7 have agreed to effectively monetize the future income flow on the frozen assets, and turn it into an immediate $50 billion in loans to Ukraine. This is as stark an acknowledgement as possible that Russia’s assets will not be returned to it any time soon, even if outright seizure is off the table for now following a chorus of complaints that doing so would not be compatible with international law.
Nevertheless, Brussels has insisted Kyiv will not receive any of the five billion euros that the frozen assets have generated thus far and continues to tread softly against Russia and its proxies. The reason: Euroclear itself is worried about lawsuits brought by Russia over this action and its freezing of other securities affected by the Western sanctions regime.
According to Euroclear, it is facing “a significant number of legal proceedings…almost exclusively in Russian courts,” where “the probability of unfavourable rulings is high since Russia does not recognize the international sanctions.”
This reveals a fundamental flaw in the arguments made by proponents of the so-called “rules-based international order.” Russia can appeal to its structures too—and, slowly but surely, make sanctions even less effective than they already are. Meanwhile in the West, the powers that be continue to dither, and ignore the blueprints for economic confrontation from the past.
Russia’s efforts here are already advancing: thus the suits against Euroclear, and the efforts of Mikhail Fridman—the sanctioned Russian oligarch—to return the nearly $16 billion of his former assets through an arbitration claim under the Soviet-Belgium-Luxembourg Bilateral Investment Treaty. As its name gives away, the pact actually even predates Russia’s establishment as an independent state and was inherited from the Soviet Union. It has not been updated since, but cannot be so easily unwound—its final clause notes that it applies to investments made before its hypothetical abrogation for 15 years thereafter.
It is also this treaty that Russia would ultimately use to try and have its domestic court rulings against Euroclear and other Western institutions enforced. We can be sure that there is more to come: Russia has already promised “endless legal challenges” if its assets or the income on these assets are seized. One of the largest such clashes is likely imminent, and will require politicians decide how to proceed. On 7 June the Permanent Court of Arbitration awarded Uniper, which was taken over after being bailed out by the German state, €13 billion in damages from Gazprom over Putin’s decision to toggle Europe’s gas taps in 2022, which forced Germany to bail out Uniper. A Russian arbitration court, on the other hand, has awarded Gazprom €14 billion from Uniper in the dispute. Berlin aims to re-IPO Uniper but will hardly be able to do so with such an albatross hanging above it.
It is therefore all the more remarkable that Western policymakers have not yet addressed how they intend to overcome such risks, nor why Russia remains permitted to take advantage of Western legal system under circumstances of a full-scale economic warfare.
Potential vulnerability to legal action by Russia and its proxies, and a lack of credible or coherent response by the West appears to have led Euroclear to take a number of actions that are clearly not in the Western interest and are often inconsistent with its past practices.
The clearing house has, for example, refused to label a number of securities as being in default in cases where the underlying entity has chosen to default rather than being forced to into default by sanctions. This has not just affected Russian corporate borrowers but even the debts of the government of neighboring Belarus. Belarus’ sovereign Eurobonds that were due to be repaid in early 2023 and are still unpaid, and thus in “default”; but Euroclear has instead designated these as “matured”. This semantic choice has significant implications, blocking the clearing and settlement of these bonds and thus impacting Western creditors – while Belarus, a key ally to Russia in its war, remains (intentionally or not) shielded from the full consequences of its default.
Good explanations for these actions are lacking, but it does appear that Euroclear has, in effect, accepted Belarus’ purported excuse: that sanctions prevent it from paying. But not all sanctions are a barrier to payment—certainly not those that have been imposed on Belarus. Notably, the Development Bank of Belarus, which faces a similar sanctions regime as the sovereign government, successfully made its coupon payment in November 2022, which was, albeit with delay, passed on to the bondholders by Euroclear. Suspension of payments, then, is simply a policy choice, and indeed, the Development Bank ultimately followed the sovereign and suspended payments as well, and this year failed to repay its Eurobonds at maturity. Euroclear took the same action with respect to the Development Bank’s bonds: they are marked as “matured” instead of “in default”.
This sort of leniency, and, seemingly, a fear of calling a “default” on a Russian ally, is without precedent, and completely at odds with the approaches by rating agencies, investors, the World Bank, the ISDA Determinations Committee (as it relates to Russia) and Euroclear’s own actions as to other sovereigns. In the recent past, the defaulted bonds of Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Zambia are all correctly marked by Euroclear as “in default” and continue to settle.
For Western creditors of Belarus, its Development Bank and the similarly placed Russian corporate borrowers, the block on trading and settlement by Euroclear is clearly harmful. For Russia and its ally, the lack of a “default” label by a key player in the Western financial infrastructure looks oddly protective. It also makes a mockery of the fact that sanctions are meant to constrain the inflow of funds to Russia and its allies instead of limiting their outflow and reducing the resources available to Russia and its allies to pursue an unjust war.
How should Western policymakers respond to these challenges? Firstly, by looking at the existing playbook for economic war, and treating as many claims as standard defaults and bankruptcies as possible. Secondly, by recognizing that the “international rules-based order” is in fact largely a set of established norms, particularly when it comes to creditor disputes, and that Russia has spent at least the last decade seeking to undermine these—beginning with its attempt to muck up Ukraine’s restructuring in 2014, something that continues to wind its way through the English courts.
That is the least that can be done to protect Western interests, free up more funds for Ukraine, and defang the Kremlin’s attempts to weaponize international law and institutions.

What does it take to be an overlord?
Now we're getting to the hard hitting questions! What's it take to be an Overlord, you ask? A combination of things. Here's how the process goes...
First, you need to embrace what you are! The sooner you get in touch with your infernal inner demon, the quicker you tap into your Sinner form! That usually comes with a way of defending yourself, which...
Leads us to the second thing: power! It's tough getting started- hard to con others into thinking you can keep 'em safe- but once you've made a few deals, the souls under your control feed into your infernal demon, increasing your power!
That gets you to street level respect. A gang leader- not an Overlord, not yet, but you're on the rise. Because even Hell still runs on cold, hard cash. To get that money, you've gotta develop a skill or corner a market. Once you've got the cash, you can afford to start buying real estate to exert your power. People recognize and respect a brand.
There are other ways, though. Take Rosie for example. Gal's got Cannibal Town eatin' from the palm of her hand- but not her hand! That takes a certain kind of charm and moxie, and she's got both. Zestial's a good example, too; the guy's ancient, and he oozes that sort of calm, nonchalant assuredness that can convince you he's calculated your every move. People trust Rosie's charm and Zestial's wisdom. For myself and Carmilla, though, it's not enough to have a great personality; establishing yourself in a volatile market is a good way to command respect. I chose TV, my specialty, and she went into weapons dealing. @ask-cerethos is another example- she controls the flow of information throughout the Pride ring. Ol' Al took... a different approach; he wields fear like most folks use a fork.
Ultimately, doesn't matter your approach, just that you're good at what you do. People respect that. They want that. In fact, they can't get enough of it! Even souls you don't own start trusting you, or fearing you, or respecting you, and you know what that translates to?
Faith.
Yeah, in a fucked up way, faith is what makes an Overlord. Shouldn't be surprising; this whole fuckin' place is a perversion of faith in one way or another. If you're like Husker, you fuck up enough times people lose that faith in you, your Overlord status starts to diminish. Your infernal demon, it gets hungry- lustful for the power it once had. You become desperate to sate it... desperate enough to make a deal with another Overlord. Or, if you're foolish enough, even a Sinner. Or maybe something else entirely...
So, all that is the how. But what does it take? It takes creativity and perseverance, adaptability and flexibility, sticking to your plan and abandoning your morals. Overlords might have allies but they rarely have friends- you have to be willing to use every person in your afterlife to pursue your goal. Once you've become an Overlord, you can relax, but until then? Everyone around you is just a tool. You just have to know how to use 'em.
I'm half convinced Carmine only became a weapons dealer because she knew it would put her in the best position to protect those precious daughters of hers. It's exactly that sort of ruthless calculus that makes her a strong Overlord. Does she have obvious weaknesses? Sure. Is anyone foolish enough to test their luck on the woman who built their weapons? Absolutely not. She could disassemble anything thrown at her- politely or not. People recognize Zestial's shadow; everyone in Hell knows who he is. Rosie has her whole town at her back. Every Overlord has that strength at their fingertips. What makes them an Overlord is how easily they will deploy that strength for no better reason than to prove they can.
And me? I'm the man who put the phone in your hand, who gives you shows to distract you from your miserable existence; I'm your escapism and your hope, your sense of security, all rolled into one. People know me. People trust me.
Who better to put your faith in than the man in the TV?

The Ins and Outs of SBA Loans for Businesses
Small Business Administration (SBA) loans are an attractive option for investors, as they are typically offered at competitive rates and with flexible terms. But, before you jump in, there are some things to consider when applying for an SBA loan. Let’s take a look at the important details that you should be aware of.
Qualifying for an SBA Loan
The U.S. Small Business Administration does not provide financing directly to borrowers—rather, it partners with banks and other approved lenders to provide government-guaranteed loans to businesses. In order to qualify for an SBA loan, you must have a good credit score, a solid business plan demonstrating how you will use the funds, and a positive cash flow from your business operations. Additionally, most lenders require collateral such as real estate or equipment in order to secure the loan.
Types of SBA Loans
There are different types of SBA loans available depending on your needs. The 7(a) program is the most popular and offers up to $5 million in funding with repayment terms up to 25 years; 7(a) Express loans offer faster turnaround times but can only be used for working capital or inventory purchases; 504/CDC loans offer long-term financing with low down payments; and Microloans can provide amounts between $500-$50,000 for short-term expenses such as inventory or supplies.
Considerations when Applying for an SBA Loan
One thing that all potential borrowers should consider before applying for an SBA loan is that these loans come with certain restrictions that could impact their ability to qualify or their ability to use the funds as needed once they do qualify. For example, some restrictions include specific uses of the money (such as buying real estate), limitations on loan size based on number of employees or annual revenue, and restrictions on who can borrow (such as non-profit organizations). It is important to understand any potential restrictions before applying so that you can ensure you meet all eligibility requirements and make sure that the loan will be able to fulfill your needs if granted.
An SBA loan calculator can be a powerful business tool for business owners. It allows business owners to accurately estimate the monthly payment, total cost of the loan, and amount of their down payment. With an SBA 504 vs 7a loan calculator, business owners can confidently calculate the best business financing options for their business needs. It is essential for business owners to have a quick and valuable assessment of their business finance options before making important decisions. The SBA loan calculator is an invaluable asset to navigating business finances.
Financing a small business has many benefits but also comes with some risks—one of which is having access to sufficient capital when needed. Fortunately, there are options available such as SBA loans which offer competitive rates and more flexible terms than traditional bank loans. However, it's important to understand what qualifying criteria must be met in order for your application to be approved as well as any potential restrictions which could impact your ability to use the funds once granted. With this knowledge in mind, business owners can better assess whether getting an SBA loan is right for them and their business goals.

How a Loan Against Shares Helped in Financial Planning
A Loan Against Shares (LAS) can be a valuable tool in financial planning. It allows you to access funds without selling your shares, which is useful if you believe the share price will increase in the future. LAS often comes with lower interest rates compared to personal loans or credit cards since the shares act as collateral, reducing the risk for the lender. Additionally, the interest paid on LAS is often tax-deductible, making it a tax-efficient way to access funds.
By using LAS, you can maintain your investment position in the stock market while meeting your financial needs, which can be particularly beneficial during market upswings. LAS typically offers flexible repayment options, allowing you to tailor the loan to your financial situation and cash flow. Overall, a Loan Against Shares can be a strategic tool in financial planning, providing liquidity, tax benefits, and flexibility while allowing you to maintain your investment positions.

From Zero to Hero: Building Your First Affiliate Blog from Scratch
Alright, fellas, strap in because today we're diving deep into the world of affiliate blogging. We're talking about going from absolutely nothing to being the hero of your own online success story. It's time to build your first affiliate blog from scratch and carve out your slice of the digital pie.
So, where do you start on this epic journey? Well, first things first, you need a game plan. You can't just dive in blindly and hope for the best. Take a moment to map out your vision for your blog. What niche are you passionate about? What products or services do you want to promote? Get crystal clear on your goals because clarity is key to success.
Once you've got your vision locked in, it's time to get technical. Don't worry, you don't need to be a coding whiz to build a killer blog. Platforms like WordPress make it easy for even the tech-challenged among us to create professional-looking websites. Choose a clean, user-friendly theme and start customizing to make it your own.
Now, onto the fun part: content creation. This is where you really get to flex your creative muscles and showcase your expertise in your chosen niche. Whether you're into fitness, finance, or fashion, there's an audience out there hungry for your knowledge. Start brainstorming topics that will resonate with your target audience and get to writing.
But hold up, bro, before you hit publish on that first blog post, there's one crucial step you can't skip: keyword research. This is how you'll ensure your content gets seen by the right people. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner or SEMrush to identify high-volume, low-competition keywords related to your niche. Sprinkle these keywords strategically throughout your content to boost your blog's visibility in search engine results.
With your content live and kicking, it's time to start promoting like a madman. Share your blog posts on social media, join relevant online communities, and reach out to influencers in your niche for collaborations. The more eyeballs you can get on your content, the better chance you have of driving traffic and, ultimately, making those sweet affiliate commissions.
Speaking of affiliate commissions, let's talk monetization. This is where the magic happens, my friends. Sign up for affiliate programs relevant to your niche and start embedding those affiliate links into your blog posts. But here's the golden rule: only promote products or services you genuinely believe in. Your audience can smell a sellout from a mile away, so stay authentic and only endorse stuff you'd actually use yourself.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "But bro, how long until I start seeing some serious cash flow?" Here's the truth, my friend: Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a successful affiliate blog. It takes time, dedication, and a whole lot of hustle to make it in this game. But if you stay consistent, keep learning, and never lose sight of your goals, you'll be well on your way to affiliate marketing glory.
So there you have it, guys. Building your first affiliate blog from scratch might seem daunting at first, but trust me when I say it's worth the grind. Follow these steps, stay true to yourself, and before you know it, you'll be the hero of your own online success story. Now get out there and start hustling!

HEADCANON 006. A MERCENARY'S RULES
When we tackle this topic about Sampo, one could summarize his morals with one word: skewered.
Not only he's a conman, but he's a mercenary that can be hired for the right price and would do pretty much anything as long as he's paid in full. Nobody is off limits as long as the cash flow is good.
The price depends on the level of heinous his customer wants him to entertain.
As a mercenary, he's supposed to not have a single moral to his soul- and, in fact, he doesn't, and doesn't care to have them: morals don't get you a nice stash of cash, after all. However, there are a simple set of unspoken rules to how he operates that he assumes the customer has the common sense to know already:
001. KIDS ARE OFF THE TABLE. Sampo doesn't harm or kill kids- period. Not only kids are always innocent in every situation he has ever encountered- but if a kid seems to be the problem, usually the root is revealed to be the parent's teachings, or another influence that can be corrected and doesn't require murder. He assumes that his client will be smart enough to avoid hiring him to kill a child- but, sometimes, he has been let down. 002. MESSY ISN'T GOOD. He's willing to be a little more lenient on this rule if the customer wants him to enact the scene of the victim being murdered to connect it to another organization or person who has a modus operandi- and if the price is at least tripled due to the tools he has to buy and leave on the crime scene, the time he will have to spend both organizing a plan to ambush the victim and cleaning himself and the whole place up after, plus a little extra for the trouble they're putting him through, in case something of his gets broken or lost in the struggle. In short, he's asking for insurance that goes directly into his pocket. 003. MONEY FIRST. If somebody has hired Sampo, it means that they know of his reputation either as a conman or as a skilled mercenary- and skilled mercenaries with little morals come with an high price tag. He wants the cash coughed up front before he even moves a finger- a good compromise that can be struck with him is half the money before he starts, and the rest of it at job finished. In this way, should the customer try to scam him because he hasn't done something the way they wanted, Sampo has still gained something out of it that can pay him for the trouble. If anybody tries trick him, the deal is off the table and can be handed over to a much less expert, far more messier cash-hungry amateur with a rifle. The results will be disastrous.
If anybody tries to make him break the first rule, you can be sure to see their home go up in smoke- perhaps with them still inside.
