Cosmere books have an interesting spin on it. First an important caveat: all powers require some sort of fuel in the cosmere universe, or some sort or store/release mechanism. Therefore while poor and rich alike can gain powers, being able to afford to use those powers can vary. Some individual series deets(all of these exist in the same galaxy, but across different planets and sometimes different levels of tech)
Mistborn starts out looking like it fits the comic, with main characters being halfbloods with noble parents. However, some of the supporting super-powered people don't have that background, and as you go down the series some things start revealing what people believe about the powers isn't quite true.
Stormlight doesn't follow the bloodline thing at all, and various people of all classes and bloodlines develop superpowers, and inheriting it isn't the mechanism at all. Money can be a limiting factor, but isn't strictly one.
Warbeaker is somewhat more mixed. There is a power system anyone in the whole population can use, but the logistics of using it means people in power have a much easier time getting the needed resources to use it at higher levels. The resource is kinda tricky, so it isn't something that can be regulated or even stolen, but can be gained by anyone who can convince, coerce, or pay someone for their resource(everyone is born with 1, but you need lots to be powerful).
In addition, of the 4 main protags, 2 are princesses of a minor tribelike country, one is mysterious and too much spoilers to discuss, while the 4th is treated as a minor God, but is treated that way due to a more unique power system, but also one that isn't class based. A bit complicated but a concept explained early in the book: Returned are people who come back to life, and people worship them because of two features they have: they might dream about the near future, but won't understand it themselves, and they can sacrifice their second life to perfectly heal any one person. They have limits I won't go into here though.
Summary: powers in their true form do not discriminate, but situations and societal structure allows some of them to be manipulated that way.
That was like the only thing I really liked in Last Jedi. Her being completely a nobody made me look upon it more favorably when I watched it, because I assumed they'd make her related and was so impressed they didnt.
I work at a MSP, and we support a variety of customers, some with quite old hardware. I still on occasion have to assist in replacing 1.8TB SCSI 7200RPM drives in a RAID array. Finding compatible drives gets harder every time.
I'm not sure. For me and some others, just mental maturity. Mine wasn't that bad, I just thought a song was so good everyone would love it, then realized once I pushed some into listening to it that that wasn't true. Vihart has a (to me) nice vid discussing her experience.
My manager doesn't really care about that, and hence, I'm currently only in office for our monthly company meeting, and thats mostly to help out the new CEO have a room of people instead of just a zoom call. I do enjoy when I go in, but once a month is enough for me. If I were closer, once a week would be fine too, but I really benefit in a ton of ways working from home, and in office I'm usually just helping others out and twidling my thumbs(helping people out is a major part of my job, but I can still do that remote as well).
That's just your myopic opinion. Plenty of people live fulfilling lives without random chance of an early death being their meaning of living. Perhaps you're misunderstanding my original comment. I didn't say immortality (though several religions do promise that as an afterlife), nor did I say unlimited wishes. I mostly said stuff like fatal diseases, daily needs, and unfair deaths like genocides, etc. You added in plane crashes, which also isn't necessary for a fulfilling life.
It sounds a bit like you're a zero sum person, like not everyone in the world can have basic needs. As a reminder, we're discussing this under the assumption there is a loving omnipotent we can pray to. If the world is so messed up that people can't even expect to not die horribly of stuff that just happens to them outside their own choices, or where not everyone had an equal opportunity to just live a simple life and have their needs met, then that suggests that an omnipotent God decided to make life that way, and such a being is not deserving of my worship, and hasn't proved their existence.
Sure, for you. If a young single parent who is the only one who can support their child dies, at best they're hoping for nontraumatic foster care, but in many places, including first world countries, it can mean far worse for them. Still, I'll cede personal cancer for the sake of the overall point. That was hardly the worst issue in my comment.
If you think dying only affects yourself, then that's already selfish, or sad. You have no family or friends who would mourn you? What if you're the breadwinner, or you have young children? A person dying doesn't affect only themselves.
Lots of people. You enjoy people dying for no fault of their own? I don't need planes crashing. I don't have a personal need of guns, and if there were no unjust threats, why is a gun necessary? As for crime, crime is really a construct based on a created morality, so that's up in the air.
My examples were about innocent people suffering, and it feels like your response is "Who would want to live in a world where innocent people don't suffer?" I almost think you're joking, because that's a seriously messed up thing to admit about yourself, much less assume everyone else agrees.
He's more annoying them than hurting em...
