"I think ol' Margie's off her rocker, man. You know, we're all tryin' our best here, but this whole idea of being a Raider without killing is way harder than it sounds. I mean, yeah, I get it, but, damn girl! This is life and death out there!"

get up and win that race
(a repeat daily)
"but none of these things move me; nor do i count my life dear to myself, so that i may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which i received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." acts 20:24
the race
whenever i start to hang my head in front of failure’s face,
my downward fall is broken by the memory of a race.
a children’s race, young boys, young men; how i remember well,
excitement sure, but also fear, it wasn’t hard to tell.
they all lined up so full of hope, each thought to win that race
or tie for first, or if not that, at least take second place.
their parents watched from off the side, each cheering for their son,
and each boy hoped to show his folks that he would be the one.
the whistle blew and off they flew, like chariots of fire,
to win, to be the hero there, was each young boy’s desire.
one boy in particular, whose dad was in the crowd,
was running in the lead and thought “my dad will be so proud.”
but as he speeded down the field and crossed a shallow dip,
the little boy who thought he’d win, lost his step and slipped."
trying hard to catch himself, his arms flew everyplace,
and midst the laughter of the crowd he fell flat on his face.
as he fell, his hope fell too; he couldn’t win it now.
humiliated, he just wished to disappear somehow.
but as he fell his dad stood up and showed his anxious face,
which to the boy so clearly said, “Get up and win that race!”
he quickly rose, no damage done, behind a bit that’s all,
and ran with all his mind and might to make up for his fall.
so anxious to restore himself, to catch up and to win,
his mind went faster than his legs. he slipped and fell again.
he wished that he had quit before with only one disgrace.
“i’m hopeless as a runner now, i shouldn’t try to race.”
but through the laughing crowd he searched and found his father’s face
with a steady look that said again, “get up and win that race!”
so he jumped up to try again, ten yards behind the last.
“if i’m to gain those yards,” he thought, “i’ve got to run real fast!”
exceeding everything he had, he regained eight, then ten …
but trying hard to catch the lead, he slipped and fell again.
defeat! He lay there silently. a tear dropped from his eye.
“there’s no sense running anymore! three strikes i’m out!
why try? i’ve lost, so what’s the use?” he thought. “i’ll live with my disgrace.”
but then he thought about his dad, who soon he’d have to face.
“get up,” an echo sounded low, “you haven’t lost at all,
for all you have to do to win is rise each time you fall.
get up!” the echo urged him on, “get up and take your place!
you were not meant for failure here! get up and win that race!”
so, up he rose to run once more, refusing to forfeit,
and he resolved that win or lose, at least he wouldn’t quit.
so far behind the others now, the most he’d ever been,
still he gave it all he had and ran like he could win.
three times he’d fallen stumbling, three times he rose again.
too far behind to hope to win, he still ran to the end.
they cheered another boy who crossed the line and won first place,
head high and proud and happy — no falling, no disgrace.
but, when the fallen youngster crossed the line, in last place,
the crowd gave him a greater cheer for finishing the race.
and even though he came in last with head bowed low, unproud,
you would have thought he’d won the race, to listen to the crowd.
and to his dad he sadly said, “i didn’t do so well.”
“to me, you won,” his father said. “you rose each time you fell.”
and now when things seem dark and bleak and difficult to face,
the memory of that little boy helps me in my own race.
for all of life is like that race, with ups and downs and all.
and all you have to do to win is rise each time you fall.
and when depression and despair shout loudly in my face,
another voice within me says, “GET UP AND WIN THAT RACE!”

"now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. therefore i run thus: not with uncertainty. thus i fight: not as one who beats the air. but i discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when i have preached to others, i myself should become disqualified." 1 cor 9:25-27
"for we all stumble in many things. if anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body." jam 3:2 we all know that there was only One who ever lived, able to bridle the whole body. that One is Jesus Christ. guess what? "it is no longer i who live, but Christ lives in me." gal 2:20
and so, according to the ministry which i received from the Lord Jesus, i testify to this: "nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." acts 4:12
the race is still on. life brings chances with it; a chance to use that unspent talent. now, "GET UP AND WIN THAT RACE!" - for our heavenly Father.

Captain Florent A. Groberg, U.S. Army; the hero I took to vote yesterday.
Captain Florent A. Groberg, U.S. Army; the hero I took to vote yesterday.
Over the years, as I exercised the most precious right of a democracy, the right of self-governance through voting, I have thanked, out loud, the names of many American heroes for their supreme sacrifice. As President Lincoln phrased it, “Those who gave their last full measure of devotion.” In the past, it was in honor of the extraordinary courage from past wars, mostly Medal of Honor recipients.…

i know i sound like a broken record but i really need marvel to understand that “worst day of my life” for medal of honor recipients do not equate to “oh they must have done something bad that they’re not proud of” that they keep trying to imply
like seriously it worries me for how they will portray john’s military history when even the director of tfatws has such a fundamental misunderstanding of why MoH recipients say it’s the worst day of their lives or they aren’t proud of their medals
and it literally isn’t hard for them to understand it either??? there’s easily accessible interviews with real life living MoH recipients???
here’s one from MoH recipient dakota meyer:
here’s also another one by MoH recipient florent groberg:
and what’s in common in both? the fact that worst day of their lives have nothing to do with them doing something “in the gray” but rather because their buddies didn’t make it home, that they couldn’t save and protect everyone
that’s what’s “worst day”, that’s what drives their guilt and sense of failure — it’s nothing to do with the right outcome achieved through questionable ways — it’s literally just people trying to survive horrifically shitty life and death situations and feeling the worst because people they love didn’t make it back
marvel’s own creatives not grasping that distinction makes me super concerned how john’s MoH incident is gonna be portrayed and in turn how real life MoH recipients are gonna be viewed and perceived because of this kind of misunderstanding
please marvel hire military consultants, hell what’s the point of taking all that pentagon money anyways if you can’t even do the military stuff right??

Why does the "Good Faction" of Fallout 76 involve aligning with villains?
Something that I found rather peculiar about the "good faction" in Wastelanders is that aligning with them involves working with one person who engaged in some vicious anti-worker practices (in the name of profit) and a group of people that the original Fallout explicitly informs the player had engaged in some horrific actions in the name of American imperialism.
(ง'̀-'́)ง SPOILERS (ง'̀-'́)ง
With the expansion of Wastelanders, Fallout 76 presents two main factions - the Diehard Raiders of The Crater, and the settlers of Foundation. During the course of helping Foundation, you encounter Penelope (Penny) Hornwright, who was a senior executive at her father's company, Hornwright Industrial. You can find out (before meeting her) that she hired strikebreakers to deal with protesting miners, mandated 24 hour shifts for Hornwright employees, and modified the air purifiers for the Clear Skies Alliance that lead to them becoming ash forges, polluting a significant portion of Appalachia (we have the region known as the Ash Heap now thanks to her actions). Can you speak with her or confront her about any of these horrific actions? No.
Then there are the remnants of the U.S. military, and let's keep in mind that one of the first scenes in the original Fallout involved the military murdering civilians before live television and then waving to the camera. The remnants of the United States Army, led by Captain Oliver Fields, seems intent on the restoration of the Old World that lead to the apocalypse. If you try to explain to him that "America's over" his response is: "Don't you know a lick of history from before the war? We've always been forged in fire. Maybe we got a bit burnt this time, but I can't believe it's the end."
Jen is good. Comparatively she lacks the moral issues that come with Penny, one of the wealthy elite who committed a lot of horrific actions in the name of profit, or with Captain Fields and his remnants of a military who may likely be culpable of war crimes given what America was doing before the Great War.
I'd say the biggest issue is simply one of missed opportunities given that she could have been a window into another perspective that we, unfortunately, don't get to explore much, as both a Chinese-American born in the wasteland of a country that targeted and persecuted Asian-Americans, and as the daughter of parents who were from China.
Conversely, the villainous faction of the Diehards at The Crater, led by Meg Groberg (voiced by Mara Junot, who also voiced the fantastic Nyoka, legally Nyoka Ramnarim-Wentworth III, of The Outer Worlds), is fairly different in terms of the people who we interact and work with for the main mission.
Working with the raiders involves working with a mute raider, Weasel, who uses a modified collar to communicate (which is limited in the capacity with which she can express herself, which at times frustrates her due to the limitations).
A suicidal ghoul, Lou (who is worried he might hurt people if he goes feral because being a ghoul is still new territory for the denizens of the wasteland). You can even help him deal with his feelings about being a ghoul once the heist is over.
A child raider, Ra-Ra, who has no idea what America even is.
And Ra-Ra's surrogate parent, the Super Mutant named Gail.
After you align with Meg and the Diehards instead of Foundation, you're tasked with wiping out a group of raiders who defected from Meg's leadership because they are bigots.
In short, the "evil" main faction involves wiping out a group of bigots before pulling off the heist.
Meg makes it abundantly clear that intolerance towards people who are different isn't acceptable.
Then Steel Dawn adds a group known as the War Party among the Diehards of The Crater, and one of the raiders among their number, Burke, is nonbinary.
The contrast between the two main factions does make me question some things (particularly the morality of working with arguably evil people in the name of the Greater Good) since the people you recruit for the settlers of Foundation feel like working alongside the Fallout equivalent of Reed Tobson and Spacer's Choice while the Diehards of The Crater you work with during the narrative feel much more interesting in comparison.
