but obsidian is one of those developers that can do no wrong in the eyes of its fanbase, so Im not sure there's much point in going on about it -

@nerthos They made a choice and that choice has a set of consequences they will need to accept. -

@nerthos People who WANT out we should definitely pull out of that. Fuck the rest of them though, as dispassionate as that seems (and is). -

@nerthos Either is removing their customer base, one is just much more quick and direct. I think we can both agree that we waste a lot of time trying to rehabilitate addicts that have no interest in being rehabilitated however -

@nerthos The thing we need to recognize with drug rehabilitation is the people that can be rehabilitated, and those which cannot. Save those that can be saved, but don't expend the time and effort on those that refuse. -

I'll give the cPanel analyst I have now since I got another one a lot of credit, she isn't just trying to find the immediate problem and fix it, she also is trying to figure out what caused it and how to keep it from happening again, and _that_ I appreciate a lot. -

@nerthos The social compact is an important thing to enforce. Ideally, we shouldn't have to enforce it often, but problems arise when people challenge it. Sometimes this challenge is valid, such as in asserting freedom of speech or the freedom of sexual orientation, but much more often lately, people try to use that social compact as a means to shame people into … -

@maiyannah the year is 2050. Every game developer has made a 40K game. In the next decade all games will be 40K.

@nerthos You really aren't, I wouldn't say. Authoritarianism isn't "just" strict adherence to personal standards, it's _defined_ by the effort to enforce it on others. You've seemed intelligent enough to know when its realistic to put forward those standards and when its unrealistic. -

@nerthos People co-exist much better when they realize personal standards are personal, and societal standards have to encompass standards that apply to the community as a whole. Unfortunately, we are seeing a rise of authoritarian-leaning people who want to impose their own personal standards on everyone the come in contact with. -

@nerthos I do and I don't. You shouldn't have to feel that you have to hide it, or can't talk about it among friends. I just feel it crosses the line between acceptable and unacceptable when people push it in people's faces. Moreover, I saw first hand as I grew up how trying to FORCE people to accept lesbianism and gay men just made them more resistant to the idea, so really, it's counter-productive. -

@nerthos No, I don't think so. Actually, I think things have actually gotten better than they used to be (at least here, it may be different elsewhere) But I think there needs to be a realization that just because you're cool with something doesn't mean others are - on a broad scale to. A lot of LGB or trans acceptance issues for example come from people being … -

@nerthos Many wouldn't, as much as I personally find "public displays of affection" that cross certain lines distasteful. -

@nerthos Well, to the people who genuinely enjoy that stuff, that is intimacy. The problems arise when they don't but they're doing it otherwise, either to please demanding partners, or because they're made to feel they have to by social pressures. -

@nerthos The latter are really what I'd call degenerates, as opposed to just fetishists. It's one thing to be enthusiastic about a particular thing because you like it, it's another to try to force other people into it when they probably don't enjoy it.
And that goes for much more in life than just sexual preferences, for that matter.
