Echoing the comment below, you’re not being an asshole at all. That’s a terrific question—albeit one I certainly don’t have the answer to. As mentioned, I think the developers at Obsidian did a service in how considerate they were to include a slider for this sort of thing. But something like that also means more work…

As devs, where do we draw the line for this stuff though? Are we supposed to have options to cut out “triggers” for all people who have some sort of phobia?

Isn’t the problem people blowing up shit and not the gender reveal? You didn’t do much at all to convince me that the parties (as in the original) are a problem, just the escalation — all of which could be a baby shower or announcement and have nothing to do with gender revelation.

Don’t be stupid - spend ten seconds thinking and you’d have been able to imagine use cases for the browser version of Facebook.

Or they could just ban obvious trolls like pretty much all Twitch streamers do.

If I want politics I can go to Kotaku.com. If I want only video game news I have Kotaku Core. If I want American politics without the spin I have BBC.

Hey, they don’t spend a lot of time on the modern day stuff, either.

...Really? I’m gonna have to Google the thing myself? Maaaan...

It depends on what the maintenance is and how urgent it is.  We were able to have a handyman out at one of our properties this week without issue, even during shelter in place in the area.  If plumbing or electrical or AC needed work I think we’d be able to get that done as well.  But I’m holding out on some of the…

I inherited my mom’s house last year, and after clearing it out, painting, carpeting and having new appliances put in, I got it rented out Feb. 1.  Unfortunately, two of the three tenants work in restaurants. I was hoping this year the rent would pay for the updating. We’ll see. At least the house is paid for.

I see tons of tips and advice on this site for tenants to defend themselves against eviction and how to deal with a difficult landlord. How about how to deal with shitty tenants or how to protect your investment when your renter stops paying?

A rational voice. For some reason, there are a group of people who are advocating for putting landlords out of business. Yes ... owning rental properties is a business that employs people and capital and comes with lots of risk. Not paying your rent does not relieve a landlord of paying property taxes, HOA costs,…

Probably because so much of what passes for being progressive online is taking ideologically sexy but wildly unrealistic positions and then shitting all over people who don’t match those positions 100%

I have no issues with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard owning a building and I think they’re being really good landlords by not charging rent for April. It’s decent and I wish my apartment complex would do the same.

Fuck off with this bullshit.

I get to use “Ok Boomer!" And how much was college 55 years ago compared to today? Cost of living? Cost of buying a home?

I’m still confounded by accusations of racism. You seem to be digging in your heels saying that there’s racist intent if anyone suggests that China is a more likely source of these sorts of epidemics because their cultural practices often keep people in closer contact with the hosts of coronavirus than in other…

The solution the judge presented was that he would review the posts on camera (privately) and then pass along any content he deemed relevant to the defense.
