We have a really exceptional chocolate brand in my city, Dandelion Chocolate. They show you how good chocolate can be if you take good care of your supply chain. The fact that you can eat their 100% cacao chocolate and enjoy it - in small bits - proves that. That pure stuff could be considered a health food.

I’ve never known of someone who got mugged. Car break ins are rampant if you have stuff visible in your car and park on the street.

This week I also started using the 40lb dumbbells for Arnold presses. I can’t do reps with them like I could with the 35lb weights, but I’ll get there.
I’m not super “progression” motivated when working out. It’s just fun to go to the gym. But it’s nice to see the numbers go up.

This is an issue with land - draw a line around some dirt before anyone else gets there, shoot people that question you, and you own it. Never mind that you might end up charging people to use the land to grow crops while you sit on your ass. Never mind that your descendants, who did literally nothing for this land, will own it by default. Apparently that's your right. I'd argue for land use over land ownership.
The same issues exist with businesses. Business owners, at least for small to medium sized businesses, work hard and often work hard alone for years before seeing success. But if it's been 10 years and you have 100 employees and you own 100% of the business doesn't that seem wrong? You're not doing 100% of the work. You have an outsized proportion of the work done by your hands. Maybe 2% with everyone else at an average of 0.99%. But it's clearly not just. And why should the first person in this company get to decide when it's sold, to whom, and under what terms? They're just a tiny minority of the company.
So workers need to truly own the businesses they work at. What's ironic is that the capitalist hellscape of Silicon Valley is closer to that socialist dream than pretty much anywhere else. Employees get equity as a standard, early employees getting 1-3%. It's still lopsided in the founders and VC's favor, but it's a massive upgrade.

Objectively I have a very comfortable life, even better than most of the owning class if you consider my flexible expectations. But because generally I’m working to make someone else rich and because I need to work longer than the owning class I think we should have terminology to describe that power dynamic.
Now, I could try to become an owner myself. If I do that I could only do so ethically, by creating a socialist co-op. Maybe I’ll pull it off one day.

Can you imagine 3M requiring chemists have a hobby lab at home and a portfolio of work that shows a genuine interest in chemistry? It would be ridiculous.
But programming is a rare field that is technical, a true field of engineering, but also filled with people that are passionate hobbyists. I’ve worked with plenty of people and the ones that do it outside of work are usually the best ones by far. Not that the people that just do it as a job are bad. The best front end guy I ever worked with wouldn’t ever bother to write code as a hobby. But hobby work is still a strong signal. So in the context of the OP, it’s a good response for how to filter out most of the massive pile of resumes you’ll receive.

https://modrinth.com/plugin/simple-voice-chat - this enables proximity voice chat. It does not require a client side mod to be installed, but it could affect the server's social experience.
Edit: It looks like there’s not enough support to add the mod. I’d only add it with at least 2/3 of votes in favor and we’re at 40% right now.
