A Prayer for Judging the Wicked

1 Why do you stand far away, Lord? Why do you hide in times of distress? 2 The wicked one arrogantly pursues the afflicted, who are trapped in the schemes he devises. 3 For the wicked one boasts about his own desire; he blesses the greedy and despises the Lord. 4 With haughty arrogance, the wicked thinks, “God will not seek justice.” He always presumes “There is no God.” 5 Their ways always seem prosperous.

Your judgments are on high, far away from them.

They scoff at all their enemies. 6 They say to themselves, “We will not be moved throughout all time, and we will not experience adversity.” 7 Their mouth is full of curses, lies, and oppression, their tongues spread trouble and iniquity. 8 They wait in ambush in the villages, they kill the innocent in secret. 9 Their eyes secretly watch the helpless, lying in wait like a lion in his den. They lie in wait to catch the afflicted. They catch the afflicted when they pull him into their net.

10 The victim is crushed, and he sinks down; the helpless fall by their might. 11 The wicked say to themselves, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”

12 Rise up, Lord! Raise your hand, God. Don’t forget the afflicted! 13 Why do the wicked despise God and say to themselves, “God will not seek justice.”?

14 But you do see! You take note of trouble and grief in order to take the matter into your own hand. The helpless one commits himself to you; you have been the orphan’s helper.

15 Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; so that when you seek out his wickedness you will find it no more. 16 The Lord is king forever and ever; nations will perish from his land.

17 Lord, you heard the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen them, you will listen carefully, 18 to do justice for the orphan and the oppressed, so that men of the earth may cause terror no more. — Psalm 10 | International Standard Version (ISV) The International Standard Version of the Holy Bible Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.

this isn't necessarily the fastest diamond-mining method, but it's currently my favorite:

Underwater caving.

You'll need:

Pick of your choosing (make sure it's got either silk touch or fortune III on it, and you definitely want efficiency V)

Helmet with aqua affinity and respiration

Boots with frost walker

Magma block

a deeeeep underwater cave

It's way safer than regular caving because about the only mobs you have to deal with are drowned. Your biggest danger is in drowning, but if you've got the magma, you're set. It's like a little portable oxygen tank that can burn your feet, lol.

If you don't have frost walker to protect your feet from the magma, you can crouch on the magma and still get the benefit of the air bubbles, you just have to be a little more careful. I've been at this for a little over 2 hours and have the diamonds you see -- again, not necessarily the fastest or best method, but it may arguably be the safest.

Happy mining!

2ND-5 LOG 0003

Oh, uh, I should probably... keep up with these better. A lot has been happening. A lot... hasn't been happening, too? Um. It's... it's all rather...

I'm in an odd mood today, I think?

Okay, um, where... where to start. I have been building a bit more on my island. At first, I was a little proud of it? It is all still made of spruce, because that's still really the only building material I have in any abundance, but I made a little row of stalls for villagers, once I have them in place, and I even made a big mob farm. I think I even made the farm somewhat pretty - I mean, uh. Not that there's much point. There's only so much you can do about, uh, a giant tower reaching into the sky with a box on top. But I made an attempt, because I would be living near it, see.

Perhaps. I shouldn't have lived so near it. It is constantly loud. I never stop hearing creepers, hitting the ground where they were funneled, hissing in pain. Uh, it's... well... you know, don't recommend it. Maybe I build an off switch? Yeah, uh, an off switch.

Um. What else... important. I mean uh. I know what I've been thinking about? But, like, if someone's listening to these, do I want them to know like... what this world is like, or what I'm thinking about? I...

I built an altar of my own on my island, and at last, I managed to finish one of the crystals that I made using that, instead of the ones I've been hunting through on my own. I have tried three; I have lived once. The things in the chests there... they are like the altars of the gods, perhaps, only the sacrifice they ask is not so clear. They're also, uh... different climate.

The island is cold, by the way, at night, and burning hot at day. That makes sense. There's - there's just nothing else here.

There's...

Okay, listen, uh. Right. Altar vault. It had so much chromatic iron I did not know what to do with it within its chests. I went from having a few pieces at best to having almost thirty. And I found a sword. It is a strange green sword, the likes of which I haven't seen before. It says its holy. I don't know what that, uh, means, and I'm almost scared to use it since I only have the one, but the gods here are -

I mean -

The thing I've been thinking about. Maybe if I talk about that? I mean, uh. Okay. So in the last vault I went into, I was looking for a spore blossom. I did not find it. I found the rooms I might have found it in only as I was running to escape. But I found - there were two altars. One that I sacrificed mobs to, and one that I sacrificed health to. They had amazing things in them - a mystery box with a piece of something called 'larimar', and, in the vault I gave mobs to - wings.

But. Uh. You know. I think that's a gift from the gods, right? Gifts from the gods are meant to be good. If any gods are listening - if that's what the altars are to - uh, I - I think I'm grateful? I'm...

I was excited to fly. I have a lot of gunpowder now. Rockets weren't hard to make. And I flew into the air to look at the island, and...

And...

You know, it's so small. I was so happy with it earlier today. It's still - it only has the things I've needed to build so far on it. And I'm still... later I'm building an iron farm, and giving some rescued villagers jobs, although villagers can't really talk and aren't people but they're something, they're -

It's just. So small. And there's nothing else around it. And you can see everything from up there, you know. You can see everything.

...a gift from the gods.

I think, uh, maybe doing this log right now was a bad idea, actually. I'm just - what useful information does this even get to the main hive? If they even care about me at this point. If they're - whatever. End log. End log. End -

Avatar Lore Dumps — Visual Encyclopedia

So, I hurt my ankle, but a friend and fellow avatar lover went to the bookshop today and very kindly took pictures of everything. It's wonky but readable, and she was being so kind I wasn't about to ask for reshoots. Any of you want the lore from the encyclopedia for your fics, have at it! It'll do until a real rip comes out.

The RDA :

Hilarious to me that they do beer locally... And very real. Also RIP Ian, he's the one who discovered Amrita.

No Other Gods

today the ZITS crew played minigames on the ISV and, as is tradition with such events, it ended in a melee free-for-all, in which I managed to kill both Tango and Impulse and get their heads with NBT data saying I killed them. These are going in my treasure box forever and always.

Reaching ISVs effectively requires a targeted approach, and this is where actionable org charts come into play. An actionable org chart is more than just a map of who’s who in an organization. It is an account map that provides deep insights into decision-makers and influencers within a company.
