At a lull in the entertainment the man looked at me and smiled. “Your face is familiar,” he said, politely. “Weren’t you in the Third Division during the war?” “Why, yes. I was in the Ninth Machine-gun Battalion.” “I was in the Seventh Infantry until June nineteen-eighteen. I knew I’d seen you somewhere before.” We talked for a moment about some wet, gray little villages in France. Evidently he lived in this vicinity, for he told me that he had just bought a hydroplane, and was going to try it out in the morning. “Want to go with me, old sport? Just near the shore along the Sound.” “What time?” “Any time that suits you best.” It was on the tip of my tongue to ask his name when Jordan looked around and smiled. “Having a gay time now?” she inquired. “Much better.” I turned again to my new acquaintance. “This is an unusual party for me. I haven’t even seen the host. I live over there ——” I waved my hand at the invisible hedge in the distance, “and this man Notch sent over his chauffeur with an invitation.” For a moment he looked at me as if he failed to understand. “I’m Notch,” he said suddenly. “What!” I exclaimed. “Oh, I beg your pardon.” “I thought you knew, old sport. I’m afraid I’m not a very good host.”

Were you afraid of being assaulted for being straight? Were you bullied for being straight? No? You never had to think about any of this? That's because you were born straight, just as you are born gay.

She's my niece's boyfriend's sister and she's very nice, but I swear next time I see her post something from Cute 'n' Country or Just Country Girl Things, I may strain my eyeballs from rolling them. The best part is...I don't think she ever goes outside and really does anything. Most of the people who post stuff like this don't really get out. Hell, I live in the bay area, about the most prissy environment there is, I mean we're talking people standing in line for two hours to eat a mediocre ice cream sandwich because it's really trendy right now. Yet the people that live here are more likely to get outside and work or play than she is. We may not bale hay or ride tractors, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't either.

My Grandfather left home when he was 12 to get away from his drunk abusive parent's, worked on a farm until he was 18, was drafted into WWII, and then worked in a Marble Query until he was 75.

We sure as gently caress don't want to go back to "the good old days" when children were forced to leave their homes to work on farms.

That's the thing about the whole "I'm a ~true cowboy~" mindset--few of them loving are. Or even come close. They've average joes that have for some reason developed an us-versus-them mentality where they see anything "city" to be too hoity-toity for them, and instead embrace and celebrate all the things that make rural poverty great--spouse abuse, child endangerment, tobacco use, alcohol abuse, drunken driving, teenage pregnancy, poor financial decision-making, irresponsible firearm use, etc. "LIKE AND SHARE IF YOUR A TRUE REDNECK COWBOY!!!1" Like dude Ted we grew up next door to each other. You're not a cowboy. You work in an insurance office. You use take your gun down to the range once a year at most and the only time you ever go near cows or horses or ~wild open spaces~ is when you're driving the backroads in your enormous bro truck, whipping empty beer cans at road signage. There's no reason to celebrate growing up in a rundown mobile home, getting the poo poo kicked out of you (or worse) by your drunk stepdad, going to the poorest school in the state, and watching your mother trade food stamps for cigarettes and lottery tickets.

Maybe it'd matter in a different industry. If Notch made his fortune at a movie studio or in winning a sports championship and acted this way, he probably would have issues finding good help on later projects. But video games? He's probably more generous than the boss at EA or other studios.

Actual game hunting is dirty, drawn out and you look like hell after hanging out in a bush/tree and field cleaning your kill. That's very much a product shot for some random thing that someone turned into a meme for COUNTRY GURLS & CAMO AMIRITE?!

On one end of the spectrum there are the people that go all in, dressing light, sleeping under the stars, and living off of powerbars for days at a time while out in the middle of nowhere with a bow and some arrows. You positively will be filthy after days of that, field dressing your kill, and carrying it back to the truck over miles of uneven terrain. On the other are the people that buy gear because of the brand and how stylish it is and go sit in a folding chair with a case of beer, waiting for a deer to come up to the feeder they set up last month so they can kill it while it's eating with one shot from a limited edition BrowningTM rifle with custom RealTreeTM accents. This activity is less strenuous and dirty than a night with your bowling league.

If it was a choice, why on earth would you choose it, unless you were some kind of masochist? I also like to believe that a person's prejudice comes about when they apply their own life experience and thought process to others, without adjusting for the fact that everyone is different, I.e. they believe that gay people fail to suppress, or choose not to suppress, the same gay thoughts they have themselves.

The whole near fetishization of rural life thing done by suburbanites is such a strange thing to me, especially as the things they glorify is largely the stuff that I really don't miss. I grew up in a really, really rural area but most of the people I know who constantly post that poo poo are from stable middle class families whose "farm house" is surrounded by fields that were sold to some big agribusiness concern decades ago. The rural poor that I know, like my entire family, are generally split into two groups: chilled-out weed smokers and coked-out white supremacists. Figuring what percentage is what would be very depressing.

ToxicSlurpee posted:That's going to reduce his pool of potential candidates and make it far harder for him to put together a good team. Reputation means a ton and then there's that silly bell curve thing; if you reduce your potential pool of employees you end up with a lower likelihood of getting good people. A great many people would see Notch on a project and just go "lolnope" without some sort of ironclad contract that doesn't allow for Hollywood accounting. I think you underestimate how many talented working artists there are in the world. There is no shortage of incredibly talented people who want to make video games, and just need the money or venue to do so. That said, all of them should have had ironclad contracts in the first place. The expectation that Mojang would be an endless paradise for all to maintain Mincecraft for as long as their whims would let them was an unrealistic one. This mis-match is more closely related to how nerd culture tends to expect too much of those around them emotionally, that everyone be overly invested in one another to an almost unhealthy degree - they require that everyone should band together in a sort of brotherhood or family. And sometimes these unrealistic expectations seem to follow into the business world. Et viola: Notch and Mojang exploded at each other, because both sides failed to have the correct expectations from the start, and then further failed to communicate when they would have been able to resolve it. ToxicSlurpee posted:Being a good boss is a skill that, from the sounds of things, he just plain doesn't have. This I agree with, just because so many of his reactions seem so petty and hurt. That he can't understand why his walking away would cause grief and pain and instead spits it back ragefully at his former employees shows he doesn't really have the constitution to be someone who needs to lead. You have to be ok with people being pissed at you, or not liking you, if you're the boss. But the feeling I get from Notch is he's more concerned with wanting people to like him, than wanting to like himself, and it breeds as this petty insecurity he exhibits openly. These traits often make for a terrible leader who, if given power is just going to abuse it for their own selfish means, to feel better about themselves and fill the void of insecurity.
