    I think she's stuck driving me around for now, sad to say. :(  (Man, we really need the emojis back

    Testing: ;)

    Edit: okay, blocks actual Unicode emoji characters (yes I know I just said "picture character(s) characters", shaddup) including in alt text, but allows embedding Twemoji images from MaxCDN.  Good to know.

    Yeah, I mainly based my comment on my experience with Windows 10, both XP and 7 had the ability to use a somewhat classic 9x taskbar and control panel (not exactly but close enough that it didn't take me long to get used to it), I never touched 8 because of the issues I had been hearing about it, even when they patched it to 8.1 and re added the taskbar and stuff. 10 still has that "I really should be used on tablets" UI but they also scattered all the customization everywhere. I mean, I swear I was able to customize the desktop for my grandparents computer so that the program icons were larger but stuff like the taskbar and program windows weren't as big, but all i've been able to find in settings is a "scale and layout" option that does everything at either 100% (normal) or 125% (large), it is possible to set a "custom" size between 100% and 150% but it's still just 1 setting that affects everything. And I know there are third party programs that might do what I'm asking, but I'm wary about installing extra stuff on my grandparents computer.

    Thing with Windows 10, is that while the "control panel" still exists, it is rather non-obvious to get to, with most of the config being done through the unified "settings" app which doesn't provide nearly as much config ability.

    Mopervillians? Well, "villain" is actually an old French word for a peasant. King Richard II is supposed to have said to his revolting peasants "Villains ye are, and villians ye shall remain!" after going back on his promises to reform the laws and taxes that oppressed them.

    Nowadays the spelling "villein" is generally used for peasant and "villain" for an evil enemy.  Originally they would presumably have been interchangeable.

    That being said, I suspect there is an attraction between Tedd and Nanase (the "ugly cousin" reaction seems too theatrical to be natural) but that both know good reason not to pursue a relationship upon this.

    (That being said, views on cousin marriage vary widely across space and time, but I'm probably toeing the line already so I won't discuss further.)

    That being said, at what point does selfcest stop being masturbation and start being incest?  The TVTropes page quotes the following:

    Quote
    "As regards sexual intercourse with older or younger copies of yourself, it's incest in branching or changeable timelines, and masturbation in inevitable timelines. In either case, yes, it is gay."
    — Tailsteak, "Basic Time Travel Etiquette"external_link.gif

    That being said, that's purely as pertains to time travel, which does not occur in EGS.

    That being said, I should probably stop now before I give myself a headache.

    This one for everyone, but particularly @mlooney considering you were the main input to the original proposal.

    As it stands, this is what the graph looks like.  Noah (and hence Melissa) was added pursuant to comments on Discord, otherwise it is more or less as the discussion left off.

    Any new suggestions to how this should be adjusted now?

    (For reference, iirc tOH's case-rulings state that suggesting incestuous relationships for "mere titillation" is frowned upon, but the thread where Hack actually stated that was probably pre crash.)

    Are you similarly squicked by missing consent from non-live forms (things)? Like dildos? What about plants? Those are technically alive, and yet you can't expect much consent from banana or cucumber.

    Sure, you can force many animals to do things they don't like, but I fail to see why having sex with them will be worse than anything else. It's not like you can make them pregnant. Also, I don't really believe the animal isn't able to show it doesn't like something - at least until you deliberately train it out of it.

    (I also fail to see them as attractive in reality ... anthropomorphized animals may be different case, but they are often sentient as well.)

    Reminds me of my sister telling me how veganism is discriminatory against non-animal life forms.  (I don't share that view, although I'm not a vegan either.)

    But yeah, back on topic, I think it's reasonable that an animal could express a desire for or against something.  Might be difficult to prove though.

    From one of my favorite webcomics:

    "I'm afraid I've come to the conclusion that students go into psychology for ulterior motives. Either they want to learn how to manipulate people, or they're kooky. So, is it really any wonder that the basic psychological model of the mind is that of a manipulative kook?

    "Psychology really hasn't had its Einstein yet. Well, actually, I don't think they've had their Newton yet either. Or Galileo. (I'm not even sure about Aristotle.)

    "I kind of get the impression that their basic model exists on the back of a giant turtle in a bowl of water, supported by four giant elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle...

    "... and most of their research goes into find out what color the elephants paint their toenails."

    "The idea that boys want to sleep with their mothers strikes most men as the silliest thing they have ever heard. Obviously, it did not seem so to Freud, who wrote that as a boy he once had an erotic reaction to watching his mother dressing. But Freud had a wet-nurse, and may not have experienced the early intimacy that would have tipped off his perceptual system that Mrs. Freud was his mother. The Westermarck theory has out-Freuded Freud." -- Steven Pinker, quoted by Wikipedia.
