Not to worry, I have fully enchanted, trimmed, netherite gear. I also rock a Shulker with all the items required for a mobile base. ;D

I'm not saying people are not entitled for recognition as the the perpetuators and propagators (there's a better word,but it escapes me at the moment) of innovative ideas and designs, nor am I suggesting that they not be allowed to profit on those assets, ither tangible or conceptual. Where the line should be drawn is when those ideas become so cosmopolitan in their reach as to be necessary for existence. A few things do exist that fit this bill already, the Internet itself being one of them. One company or government may own the servers it resides on, but as a concept nobody can "own" the internet, just as no one can "own" the ocean, or a holy text, or "own" an experience (the set dressing and location perhaps, but not YOUR feelings and reactions, which are unique to YOU.)

This is a philosophy that imposes a faustian bargain to success in business: the larger your business, the less it belongs to YOU. If your business is all encompassing, (such as in a monopoly), it ceases to even be yours AT ALL.

Not trying to argue, merely provide more context.

that reminds me of that Obama Skit on Key and Peele where Obama just listed republican talking points and the republicans couldn't help but disagree with them because it was being proposed by a liberal.

they are if you like hoarding literally ALL the money.

that they expected it to eclipse real people AT ALL is both telling and slightly disturbing.

If you have discord you can DM User "Entomo" and tell him Staffy sent you. We are an 18+ server, And have a few QOL mods and a few fun things like Manhunt and Troll machine. Most everyone is over 35, FYI. The owners mother is in her Sixties and plays to help her mental state (as I understand it, everyone knows it's a slightly sore topic, so we just accept that "Mama" (as we call her,) is a little eccentric, and don't discuss it further.) We have our resident Redstone genius Woolf, our Server owner Itsserendipitous, and her Husband Chad, Neosaur who loves building spawn up each map, DirtTea our friendly "49er" who pops on mostly to chat and build for fun, Xtapokeletl whose here for the whimsy, Eissug who loves trying new things (and chickens more than Gonzo), And myself (in game) Infinity_Dragon, who loves to explore and play optimally. My wife also has an account, plus about 15 other players who have been whitelisted, but seem to only show up to work out their two week phases.

we are currently still on the 1.21.x Versions, for now.

I'm more the guy behind the pink one

(slight deviation from topic to explain) Similar indeed! I basically said that mods blocking threats of violence [towards our fascist leadership, in this day and age] was a tacit enablement of their regime. And do PLEASE note this is not a "threat," merely a critique of moderation style. Well, the chud snowflake mods got butthurt, which, I mean...to be fair...

Yeah, I'd consider the urge to commit homicide "worse" (and as a fresh convert, let me say, I'd NEVER get away with this comment on Reddit)

I like to drive about 20 over on long hauls, so technically "I'm passing." PERMANENTLY

This. That's why it's here. The other stuff is the "why it sucks/additional info"

The worst is r/AskReddit for bots. And the worst part of that is that those questions are ridiculously tempting low hanging fruit for people to "self ban." The one that got me was "how do you think the trump administration will end." The amount of [Removed by Reddit] tags was telling, I must say. I've been trying to get to talk with an actual person, but we all know how that goes. 😒
