@aakashgupta Who cares. The game sucks, and he's a millionaire

Markus Persson sold Minecraft for $2.5 billion in 2014 and walked away with $1.6 billion at 35. The depression came next. Then something worse: Microsoft scrubbed his name from the game. The $300M movie didn't credit him. His own exit blog post predicted both: "I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm not a CEO. I'm a nerdy computer programmer who likes to have opinions on Twitter." That sentence aged in two directions. Three months after the deal closed, he outbid Beyoncé and Jay-Z for a $70 million mansion in Trousdale Estates. 23,000 square feet, eight bedrooms, fifteen bathrooms, a candy room, a car elevator. He closed in six days. A record sale price for Beverly Hills. Eleven months later he posted this from Ibiza: "Hanging out with a bunch of friends and partying with famous people, able to do whatever I want, and I've never felt more isolated." The next tweet: "The problem with getting everything is you run out of reasons to keep trying, and human interaction becomes impossible due to imbalance." The programming half stalled. After Mojang he co-founded a new studio called Rubberbrain. Seven years, 60 million Swedish kronor spent, zero games shipped. The Twitter half exploded. The opinions escalated. In 2019 Microsoft removed every reference to him from the splash screens, the credits, and the 10th anniversary celebration. He wasn't invited. The Minecraft Movie opened in April 2025 to $300 million globally. He had no role in production. Microsoft hasn't asked him for a line of code in eleven years. Minecraft has now sold 350 million copies. None of them say his name.

@themagaking Bro, this isn't ghenkis khan days.

Sometimes I wonder what America would actually do if China detained or k!lled a sitting U.S. president, vice president, and cabinet officials during a diplomatic visit and basically said, “They’re ours now.” That is the kind of worst case scenario my brain always thinks about.

@_andrewthecoder Which languages, which libraries?

I have a hard time believing that I am just unhireable. But I have an even harder time believing that my 25 years of experience is somehow negated by the format of my resume. But, after over 2,000 applications, I am not sure what else to think. And, out of the dozens of emails (perhaps over 100) to hiring managers with inquiries about what might be happening, I have received ZERO response. I have done some reverse engineering of some popular ATS systems and found some interesting trends; things like translating words like "founder" and "freelancer" to "unemployed", as one example (though, admittedly, the end user of the ATS is responsible for such translations). So, now add to everything else, I am being punished for running successful businesses for over a decade. Kind of at the end of my rope here. I have to start thinking about what retirement looks like, and I am just plain NOT HIREABLE. Career change at this point doesn't seem likely. I have literally never done anything professionally other than write software (at least, not since college anyway). This is actually going to start affecting my way of life, my standard of living, not to mention the people that count on me to provide. Please don't take this as anything more than venting. I am not blaming anyone, and I am not looking for sympathy. I know a lot of you are experiencing a very similar situation!

@VerminusM They're paid, with your taxes

Why is the left so much better and quicker at organizing protests than the right? By the time the right has 200 people in a square with signs their kids painted on Bristol papers, the left has 100,000 people with professionally printed giant posters. What's their edge?

@OmarBaddar If we were a community of 50, we'd see the couple of lazy fucks taking food for free and we'd see you trying to take things that you never earned and complaining about it constantly

If we were a small community of 50 people & one person decided to hoard half the collective food available while several people were starving, we'd immediately recognize the grotesque unfairness. But when you scale up to 350 million people & diffuse the injustice, you start believing that some people "earned" their billions while millions of people who work infinitely harder deserve not being able to have basic financial security.

@harukaawake It's probably just the killin n rapin . Oh and the colonizin

What do you think caused people to become anti-Muslim?

@GeneralMCNews Nobody cares. The benefit is minimal

BREAKING: Health experts say the U.S. might not get immediate access to hantavirus surveillance data and contact tracing information because it is no longer a member of the World Health Organization.

@Prathkum It's increasing the ability Gap as lazy fucks continue to play video games meanwhile motivated people are gaining superhuman enhanced powers of reasoning and execution

Unpopular opinion: AI made the world super competitive for mediocre people.

@eliotranch Great 'playing dumb' tactic always embraced by leftists.

Explain to me how mass immigration is a 'left wing' concept. I can't fathom how people swallowed this idea wholesale. - Endless supply of cheap labour helps capitalists, not workers - Strip mining of talent from developing countries is a form of neocolonialism - Endless pressure on the housing market inflates assets and prevents the poorest from having reasonably priced homes - A refusal to train enough people here removes vocation paths that the working class used to follow - The most negative social and cultural second order consequences are happening to working class, deindustrialised or neglected areas So it's left wing how? I can see how anti-immigrant sentiment can be seen as ethnonationalism and therefore right wing. But I can't see how support for mass immigration is left wing. And to be clear: it's not just a part of left wing thought. It's now so central to left wing thought, apparently, that any divergence from this immediately makes you 'far right'.

@tanpukunokami @zucca_incognito Well you're not protecting it

@zucca_incognito 社会の安全や秩序をどう保つかはどの国でも難しいテーマだと思いますが我々は国を守りたい

To those considering moving to Japan, let me be honest with you. Last week, a 300-year-old shrine in Niigata burned down. It wasn't the first. Shrines, pig farms, graveyards, set on fire and desecrated. Things we've quietly protected for centuries are disappearing, one after another. If you cannot honor our gods, please don't come. If you cannot eat pork, please don't come. If you cannot accept cremation, please don't come. This is a sincere request from us. If you come to Japan, you will be unhappy, and so will we.

@MarcoFoster_ @RepAOC Listen guys, the Starbucks barrista is commanding commerce on how it works

AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”

@Ravenismeee Yes, you are putting your toxic petroleum Vapors into other people's lungs,

Does your boss have the right to tell you that your perfume is too strong and it’s offensive to others in the office and you should stop using it ?

@Ravenismeee Yes, take that shit off

@GavinNewsom Your posts are inflammatory, toxic and embarrassingly inaccurate

No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP) No vote in Florida (+4 GOP) No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP) No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP) No vote in Texas (+5 GOP) Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out. MAGA has rigged the system.

@BernieSanders Leave private citizens alone. You doxxing old commie fool

Google founder Sergey Brin's wealth has DOUBLED to $311 billion since Trump's election. Now he’s spending $57M to oppose a 5% billionaires' wealth tax in California. He’d rather millions lose healthcare than pay his fair share in taxes. This kind of arrogance is unacceptable.

@CALUSA18 @LizMacDonaldFOX The chaos was a bunch of liberal cry babies covered by liberal cry baby news.

@LizMacDonaldFOX Bill Clinton reduced federal employee nos. by 300K, w/o the chaos & damage Trump has. It was done intelligently by selective hiring freezes & changes in regulations. The difference between the strategy of a Rhodes Scholar & that of a moron. [BTW, Bush added 260K w/his TSA.]

The federal workforce is currently estimated to be down by roughly 300,000–390,000 employees net under Trump’s second term so far, the lowest since 1966.

@rushicrypto Yeah if only we handed out billions to poor people poverty would end, oh wait we already tried that with ussr, China, usa, Venezuela, Cuba.

It’s not weird to y’all that not a single billionaire wants to end world poverty? Not even one rich person? It’s just “what they do with their money is up to them”? Yeah, sure- but it’s not WEIRD to you that not ONE single person wants to be a big hero and solve the world’s problems when they LITERALLY could? That’s not bizarre or suspicious?

@trikcode Because it would cost 1 trillion to hire, build, and train for an apple ai

I still don't understand why Apple can't build its own competitive LLM. and keeps opening iOS to all third-party AI models.

@DrNeilStone Cdc has nothing to do with readiness, it was a bureaucratic virtue signal

The CDC has been gutted. I'm telling you now. The US is NOT ready for the next pandemic

@zuess05 Programmers always knew this. They could write code, but deciding what to create is the real challenge

We finally gave everyone the ability to build complex software in a single weekend. And it turns out 90% of developers just want to build another habit tracker or an X scheduler. The barrier to entry is completely gone. But the barrier to having an original idea is still undefeated.
