I’m sure it’s going to be “we got isekai’d into a Minecraft world and now we need to defeat [antagonist] before they ruin everything!”

It’s such a shame because I feel like theres a lot of potential. There are so many faces of Minecraft and ways to play the game (even within the relatively narrow area of vanilla survival multiplayer). Perhaps a better plot would revolve around the friction between these different playstyles.

Theoretically the electorals could go blue without winning any districts. It would require a third party to win at least one district though.

When I worked as a delivery driver, I did well only because of tips. If I was paid minimum wage and people stopped tipping, I would have been fucked.

So basically if your job had no tips, it would require a higher salary than minimum wage to retain workers.

Prism Launcher was forked from PolyMC due to a sequence of actions by Lenny McLennington on the 17th of October, 2022. Lenny made several politically charged changes to the PolyMC GitHub repository and organization to remove those supporting “left-wing ideologies”. In a commit, Lenny removed the PolyMC Code of Conduct, which outlined and prohibited discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community and subsequently removed all maintainers. The commit and subsequent mass purge of maintainers were done without prior warning or discussion with the rest of the PolyMC team; the incident can be considered a hostile takeover.

I feel like faith provides a disproportionate of comfort compared to guidance. People take the parts of religion they agree with, and discard the rest. I actually think this is good practice, but it becomes an issue when they use the affirmation of the broader religion to justify their actions.

A moral compass is something you have to find for yourself, and acknowledge that it is not backed up or justified by any other entity than yourself.

For me, I’ve found a good starting point is the TST tenets. Compared to the 10 commandments, they are much more broad. I can use them as a lens to analyze a variety of different situations and organize my thoughts and feelings.

But that doesn’t mean that I use TST to justify my actions, the tenets are my tools of introspection. Heck, the 7th tenet even acknowledges that the tenets are only guiding principles and seems to encourage finding your own morals.

Its pretty clear that Mark and Micheal Reeves don’t focus as much on design and iteration so much as the ideas behind their creations. The content formula for their videos is different from the other youtube creators you mentioned. If that style of video isn’t your cup of tea, thats ok.

As for the inventions themselves, I have to disagree. I think some of Mark’s creations are fairly well designed, such as the later versions of the glitter bombs.

You can also prove it a different way if you allow the use of the formula for finding the limit of the sum of a geometric series on a non-convergent series.

Sum(ar^n, n=0, inf) = a/(1-r)

So,

…999999

= 9 + 90 + 900 + 9000…

= 9x10^0 + 9x10^1 + 9x10^2 + 9x10^3…

= Sum(9x10^n, n=0, inf)

= 9/(1-10)

= -1
