Pretty big question to analyze for a lemmy comment, but my take is it’s as good a start as I could hope for, and even if it’s wrong it’s worth trying just to learn what happens

“Poor artists imitate, great ones steal”

I have no idea who actually coined this, but I heard once that it was Mark Twain. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t, but it sounds like something he’d say and attaching his name to it actually helps convey the message and its tone, so fuck it, Mark Twain said that.

I didn’t understand a lot of those terms so you’re probably smart enough for me to trust you, thanks for helping assuage my fears
