Hard disagree. Link doesn’t talk, but he didn’t protest. He made a choice by handing over the Ocarina and choosing to go back to his childhood. He chose getting that time back over being famous for his exploits
Since so many people are playing Ocarina of Time for the first time, I'd like to bring back this little nugget of info.
Zelda says everything that happened was her fault.
She let Ganondorf into the Sacred Realm by having Link open the Door of Time, which ultimately lead to the terrible future.
She believes she robbed Link of his childhood as well, so her final Act in the Adult Timeline is to send Link back in time.
Yet this act is probably her most selfish one.
She doesn't ask Link. She doesn't make sure it's what he wants. She decides for him, takes the Ocarina and sends him back to before they first met.
The moment Link leaves that room, the Door of Time will close and since the Ocarina of Time itself is now in the Future, he has no way to reopen it. His pathway to the Future is forever locked.
Without his consent, she sent Link back to a timeline he never saved. All his turmoil, all his hardship, everything he struggled and fought for? That exists in the Adult Timeline. The Timeline he's ended up in? The only canon event to take place in the Child timeline is the death of the Great Deku Tree. Link never beat King Dodongo or saved Ruto in the Child timeline.
He has basically been sent to a time where he is just a homeless boy from the forest. No fame, no recognition, nothing.
And as we see in Twilight Princess, he never even got to pass down the skills he learned during his life to the next generation. He died in battle. A nameless, faceless knight.
He wasn't even recognized for uncovering Ganondorf's plot to betray Hyrule.
But worse than that, Zelda split the timeline. Her actions here are what split the timeline into the Adult and Child timelines.
The Child timeline sees Link die a nameless warrior with lingering regrets in a world that saw him as nothing more than another expendable.
Oh, and Ganondorf? Survived his execution and goes on to torment and control an entirely separate species in another realm.
Well Done, Zelda.
In trying to undo your fuck up, you fucked up even worse!
BUT IT GETS EVEN WORSE!
In the Adult timeline, the Sage's power wanes and Ganondorf is able to break free anyway. Except, because Link was sent to another timeline, the Spirit of the Hero doesn't exist in the Adult Timeline. So when Ganondorf DOES break free, THERE IS NO REINCARNATION OF THE HERO! So Ganondorf just goes to town with no one to stop him until the Hylian people pray hard enough so the Gods flood the world, wiping out most life and leaving the survivors to cling to the mountain tops.
Well Done, Zelda!
In trying to undo your fuck up, YOU CREATED AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE AND DOOMED BOTH TO AN ERA OF DESTRUCTION AND TURMOIL!
If Zelda had just done nothing here then only one single 7 year period would have been tained by Ganondorf. There would be no Child timeline, and the Spirit of the Hero would still exist to reincarnate to oppose Ganondorf when he broke free.
But no. She just HAD to be all "Oh I ruined your childhood and took away 7 years of your life. I'll send you back without asking", and basically resulted in most sentient life being wiped out in her own timeline while dooming an entire species to 100 years of torment and abuse in the other timeline.
Fantastic. 10/10. No notes.

They don’t have a path without Texas.
That’s how democracy works.
The GOP will have to moderate on certain issues to put it back in play.
That’s how parties change and respond to changes in the electorate.
.@MattWalshBlog raises a crucial question if Republicans lose in Texas:
"Can anyone explain to me, if Texas goes blue, what is a Republican path to winning national elections without Texas?"
This is the gaslighting that got the Dems whooped in 2024.
Leavitt: "Unfortunately, I think the American people forgot about the good policy, maybe listened to the lying media on the other side."
Tarlov: "They know how much money they have."
Leavitt: "They don't. They got more money in their pockets because of the president's tax cuts."

There will be a cautionary tale for this account on the absolute lack of wisdom in predicting the future of an election and doubling down in your certainty.
If you’re wrong, you will look so ridiculous it’s hard to recover.

Holding church property in common is biblical and traditionally correct.
Being an independent church is a pretty serious theological error.
He’s just better.
You can admit it.
He’s goated
It’s now a foul on the defender if he doesn’t touch Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
To be fair, Harper did make contact with SGA’s shoulder…when Shai threw it into Harper’s chest 😂😂 xitter.gq/NBAPerformances/status…

Because if he proves unequivocally that he’s real, then you’re his puppet. Then you’re forced to believe and follow him. It removes choice. People would only follow out of obligation instead of devotion.
To remain hidden and revealed by faith, God gives us choice to follow or not.

Yeah but no one wants that. It’s a good value if you actually want it.
Console gamers are more casual and this product will flop like a fish
Xbox Helix is close to a 5080 in performance
If it plays all PC games, $1800 would actually be amazing value
If you don't believe me, look up what pre built 5080 systems go for today
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Xbox Helix equaling RTX 5080 performance is unconfirmed speculative analysis from leakers, not supported by official Microsoft statements or benchmarks. Pre-built RTX 5080 PCs currently start from around $2300 on deals and typically cost more.

This is correct. Games don’t need to look prettier.
They need to actually come out and be good.
There’s now a massive diminishing return in upgrading your console for consumers and developers.
We just don’t need more power.
The PS5 could legitimately be supported through 2032 or longer.
I'm not expecting next-gen consoles to cost less than $1000, and I think the reality is that next-gen will be an enthusiast-only console.
Current-gen consoles will probably be supported for the next 10 years because next-gen will never have enough volume on its own to release next-gen-only titles and make those games profitable.

Retro game prices are gonna skyrocket to the moon
BREAKING: A new report claims that Xbox expects its next-generation console to cost as much as $1,800 and is currently targeting a 2028 release. A new handheld is also rumored to launch next year.

Your point #2 and #1 contradict completely.
You say in #1 that God doesn’t look at the outward appearance and instead looks at the heart…and then in #2 you argue that character doesn’t matter if the policies slow societal decay.
These points are in deep conflict
It’s undeniably cool.
But people are talking like Elon personally did something greater than Newton inventing calculus.
This is neat, but it’s not a tech breakthrough…it’s just a cool and ridiculously expensive concept car.
I'm sorry, but I'm flabbergasted at how someone could see this as something as anything other than unconstrained awesomeness.

Guys this isn’t magic.
This is well understood physics and similar and more impressive things have been done than this.
It’s just never been publicly done with a car before.
Hate to dox myself a bit but have worked on just about every fighter jet the US has. I have seen some impressive technology over my career but this is a whole other level. I have so many questions and need to know how this works. How much edge compute is needed to make this happen? My first thought is dual processor + 1TB ram. That way it can handle the fuckquintillion process per second. There was zero correction it nailed it 100%.
