so yeah. a few days ago i got kicked out by my dad (he’s a doctor, has a PhD, whatever) because i “borrowed” some of his life savings to pay for a legendary redstone course by StickySteve69. 60k dollers. totally worth it. steve hasn’t replied in 3 months but i’m 100% sure he’s just cooking something revolutionary. legends take time.

anyway i got a “second” job (aka minimum wage cashier gig at Hotline Hamburgers) and i was actually doing fine until last week. i had already gotten a few warnings for being “rude” to customers, which is wild because all i said was that their brains had more delay than an unoptimized piston clock. then this group of kids came in, looked at my redstone sketchpad and said, “bro this guy’s an unemployed minecraft failure.” so naturally, i politely but firmly told them that i’ve built a functional 3-bit ripple-carry adder in survival mode while they probably can’t even spell XOR gate and reminded them i am employed currently. they laughed. so i chased them out of the restaurant. with a broom.

i got fired.

apparently “multiple complaints,” “bad attitude,” and “chasing minors with cleaning tools” is where they draw the line. idk. maybe i was out of line. maybe society just isn’t ready for redstone engineers yet. maybe people hear “minecraft” and think “lazy” instead of “visionary.”

i know it’s a joke sub, but does anyone else feel like redstoners get treated like dirt for doing something genuinely amazing? like i’m sorry i don’t spend my time doing boring survival builds, Karen, i’m out here simulating memory storage with slabs and torches.

anyway if you’ve ever been disrespected for your redstone lifestyle, there’s a place for us: r/redstonerights. no boomers, no surface-level builders, just real engineers.

join us. the movement is growing.
