Years ago, Minecraft introduced Emeralds into the game to be used as money. They can be traded with the Villager NPCs to buy and sell items.
Players eventually figured out ways to manipulate these trades in their favor, creating ways to farm the “fiat” emeralds in huge numbers from the NPCs.
As a result, nearly all popular community Minecraft servers, where real players interact online together, have resorted to using Diamonds as money. In game, Diamonds are more rare, and require more work to come by.
Even in online video games, the hardest money naturally emerges. A fascinating example.

Just took to time to learn and set up Fountain for podcast consumption. #Lightning is amazing.
In that context, I strove to be like the elite athletes I looked up to.
Quote from head coach in college that stuck with me:
“You see a lot of elite guys that are never happy. That’s because they’re only happy when their satisfied - and elite guys are never satisfied”.

Tucker seemed to speak out too much against the corporate machine. Lemon the opposite. Both ousted makes sense, as each of their shows turned viewers to independent media for different reasons. The corporations want control, that is it.
This is the way
Company DEI HR training has many claims and statements that I disagree with.
Should I cave to my morals and values, sign, and keep working uninterrupted?
Or stand my ground, and try to have a conversation with leadership on why I won’t sign?
Have a feeling the company answer is going to be “we support all diversity and are inclusive of all, except if you disagree with our DEI program”.
Electric vehicles are cool in their own way. Subsidies are not. Government EV tax credits are unsustainable and wrong. #carchain
How much of their funding is subsidized? I’ll have to look into this. They are certainly much better free market actors than the other launch providers owned by Lockheed and Boing, no?
