I didn't miss anything. 

I have gotten absolutely no problems with 1.0.0 so far. No lag, no crashes... My laptop isn't even that exceptional...

So I've been reading the Hunger Games series for the first time. I'm on the last book right now, and something struck me. The character Plutarch tells Katniss that the Capitol uses a form of control on its citizens called Panem et Circenses, which is Latin for "Bread and circuses". Plutarch explains it by saying: "The writer was saying that in return for full bellies and entertainment, his people had given up their political responsibilities and therefore their power."  And then a few sentences later: "... As long as that kept rolling in, the Capitol could control its little empire..."

And I couldn't help but be reminded of America, and the hedonist mindset that seems to dominate our culture here. Is it possible that our government is employing this same tactic on us? Overfeeding us (as evidenced by the amount of obesity) and keeping us so fixed on entertainment and the hype of getting whatever's new (the newest technology, the newest fashion, the newest product) that we forget what others are going through around the world, and about what our government is choosing to do? An adult I was talking to the other day told me that public school isn't meant to turn out thinkers, it's meant to turn out workers, workers who pay the taxes and elect politicians to do the thinking for them. So now I can't help but wonder if he was right. Is it possible that our government is slowly doing this to us, eliminating the capacity of the new generation to think beyond what is on the surface, keeping them distracted by trivial topics, all while easing us into a more and more tyrannical government? They already tried taking our guns (under the pretense of stopping shootings. But honestly, who can believe for a moment that criminals won't break laws to get guns if they're really that set on killing people?), which would eliminate our ability to fight back if they ended up doing things that aren't good or just. It's just scary to think about, how easily a government could do this to its people, and how likely it is that they are doing that. Any thoughts?

Why are so many people here so rude to new people and those who don't have good grammar? On many topics I see that are newbies posting their rigs or animation, or even just asking for help, the majority of posts are either mocking the OP, using sarcasm against the OP in an insulting and rude way, or just people flat out saying that he sucks or is bad at using Mineimator... Then there are the JonTron videos and meme responses... And finally, the worst of it all, people encourage this behavior by liking the rude posts, adding their own rudeness to it by quoting the rude post, and then to wrap it up, they hide behind: "It's just a joke", "it's fun", or "well, it's true, and I don't believe in lying to people". Seriously. Doing this is immature and very rude... I'm honestly not surprised that the Disqus people hated us. 

Okay, get the firing squads ready while the Mando'ade go and capture Jar Jar Abrams.

You know, I'd like Minecraft servers a lot better if they were just vanilla and on Survival. No plug-ins, no cheat codes, no claiming land or locking chests. No back-ups either. If griefers strike, deal with it and rebuild. It would be a lot more fun.

Hmm... I have found that shaving one's eyebrows isn't a good idea.
