The NRSVUE removed translation traditions. This is helpful, but the fact that both translations are correct, while for centuries if not millenia (in some cases the RSV versions ignored the Septuagint translations). While yeah, it’s still a valid translation, the word for “slavery” in our modern western lens typically conjures up images of chattel slavery where the slaves were enslaved for life as well as their offspring. Such imagery just isn’t really historically honest. Even throughout different time periods of the Bible’s writing, slaves ranged from bondservants to ones sold through debt.

tbf, christian dogma supported slavery for hundreds of yesrs.

In China they call them “banana people”. Yellow on the outside, white on the inside.

In Sunday school I learned what a prostitute was (from the story of Jericho) about King Solomon suggesting cutting a baby in half, that dude that sacrificed his daughter because she was the first to come out of her house, how scripture has been misused to justify slavery, how it’s been misused to justify violence, Noah’s nakedness, the left handed dude who used his left handedness to assassinate a king, Asherah poles being destroyed, David cutting Saul’s robe while he was peeing, to name a few

This type of thing is exactly what’s brought up during Sunday school

Kinda mad that if you click on his links, he’s citing a very specific translation of the Bible, flip through them and it’s clearly talking about servants as a blessing. Not necessarily slaves. The words in question are עֶ֫בֶד and שִׁפְחָה. Basically every other translation I flipped through rendered this as servants, including the likes of culturally significant ones that Christians draw on for doctrine like the KJV and ESV.

Is he trying to convince Christians that slave owning is okay or something? 🤣

Generally the sin inheritance thing goes to everyone.

I’d need to check how long the validation lasts, since it may be well be like emulated PS1 games from the PSN (“PSOne Classics”) and Steam’s offline mode, both that take a few years to reset, but neither permanent.

It would depend on the launcher. Considering that cracked launchers do exist which just bypass this step entirely, I’m sure there are plenty which only really check once just to be on the legal side of the law. Third party launchers are a thing - there is nothing stopping the application from just running the game. I don’t think it would even be possible to permit third party launchers and somehow have the game break itself after a set period of time without internet connection, except for maybe an EULA which they would just have to be trusted to follow. And the EULA doesn’t mention third party launchers.

Cracking also isn’t really illegal in a lot of jurisdictions if you already own a licence for the game. But you wouldn’t even need to crack it for Minecraft anyway.

In the UK you are only brought to jury duty if you’re on the electoral register. To be on the register, you need to be residing there.

No, unless it’s a requirement. Also, keep in mind, think of your children. I have an American friend who’s mother was a British citizen, and renounced it after becoming an American out of “patriotism” or “loyalty” to her new country. Now my friend who studied in the UK would have really liked to have stayed here, given, you know, but can’t.

Didn’t some kid make a nuclear reactor in a shed

You aren’t OP yet you’re answering as if you were.

Because you don’t want to use Microsoft’s ecosystem? It’ll just be the same as any other account

If it is DRM, it’s hardly the DRM that people complain about. It’s pretty ethical DRM. If this was a strictly offline computer, you can even install Minecraft on a USB drive and move the installation over.

I wasn’t talking to you

I think you forgot to switch over to the account that made this post

3rd party launchers potentially being considered cracking means.

No, they directly integrate with the authentication servers and download the files straight from mojang. You even get an official prompt in a browser login window to connect your account to the third party launcher.

Just make a burner?

Since when did Minecraft have DRM? The only real DRM on it is logging in with a microsoft account that owns the game. You don’t even need to use the official launcher.
