*has less than 100 emails in his inbox for the first time since getting back from vacation* - znufrii Jun 17, 14:05 2
- I think I would have a stroke with that many emails in my inbox. Cannot stand it. At the theater there are 1,500+ in the inbox. - sycor Jun 17, 14:07 1

8-bit Game of Thrones (link) - Jovian Jun 17, 14:00
Just curious, has anyone actually tried to post a link to a post here on facebook? - znufrii Jun 17, 13:59 8
- Yeah, the meta description stuff needs to be modified on individual post pages -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 14:08
- Well, I guess that's why Vermin wanted the magic button -- it would duplicate the ST post, and include the link. Without the magic button, you'd - mara Jun 17, 14:01 6
  - To clarify... - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 14:08 5
    - I actually like that idea. (the "via SlackerTalk" with a link to the Facebook page.) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 14:21 2
      - But going to the ST Facebook page would be kind of a dead end. Is there anything of interest there? -- nm - mara Jun 17, 14:24 1
        
        Well, not at the moment. But with a small amount of work, could be a better recruiting tool than just coming to ST directly. - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 14:30
    - cntl a...cntl v...badda bing...badda boom -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 14:11 1

I just assume that if I have any success in politics that the opposition party will release interns on ST to find what foolishness I've said. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 17, 13:35 2
- Pay Bery $500 to delete them. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 13:36 1
  - Please. It's a natural part of the political discourse, and I respect the sanctity of data records. - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:42

- This post is amazing. -- nm - ty97 Jun 17, 13:27
You know, if we're going to make any new board on ST, we should make a Dinner with Schmucks type board where we link all the new invitees to it - oblique Jun 17, 13:25 9
- I've often thought ST should "market" itself as a free advice/question answering type forum. Kind of like MetaFilter, which is not free. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 13:26 7
  - Max wants to know: what's my cut? -- nm - Max Jun 17, 13:36
  - Bery would need to hire Andie on full time -- nm - con_carne Jun 17, 13:35

    - this all sounds like a lousy idea to me, but i still think we should round up some vc's and do an ipo....nm - x Jun 17, 13:35
  - I'll admit I hoped Andie had seriously tried to market her advice column because I figured she'd crowd source answers from us. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 17, 13:27 2
    - oh, i so would, -- nm - Andie Jun 17, 13:43
    - "I thought you said you had a plan!" "Yes! My plan is to crowdsource a plan." -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 13:28

Here's my suggestion for gaining a bit more anonymity on the web: Get Twitter to adopt your user name as a meme. - TWuG Jun 17, 13:20 2
- or with the Will Hunting/dawson type, get someone to name a popular movie character after you. I have accomplished this in Cowboys and Aliens. - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 13:22
- excellent idea. -- nm - asl Jun 17, 13:21
From NYT, One of the most interesting articles IMO in a while: Former XY Magazine staffer interviews former staffer/friend who is now "straight" -- (link) - MDH Jun 17, 13:19 1
- Cont (forgot IM): and denounces all of his former articles/advice calling gay life a sinful decision. -- nm - MDH Jun 17, 13:21

    - L3!! -- nm - Epiphany Jun 17, 13:18
It should be noted that my brother thinks JackDawson is a made-up character. - ty97 Jun 17, 13:16 21
- actually he is - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 13:21 1
  - yes and no. He inherited the name from the first Dread Pirate Jack Dawson. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 13:41
- after Dave had drinks with a bunch of us, he was all 'oh, that's who hangs out on your board? i was hoping for more weirdos.' - Andie Jun 17, 13:17
- Not that she's an STer, but if I didn't know Chun was real I'd be forced to make her up. Forced. -- nm - Diva Jun 17, 13:17 17
  - This weekend is my Chun initiation. - ty97 Jun 17, 13:19 12
    - just be sure to approach slowly and calmly. keep your voice to a low murmur. no sudden movements, bright lights or flashy colors. - Diva Jun 17, 13:24 10
      - don't make eye contact...don't jiggle cubes in a glass...don't say the words... - Mel Profit Jun 17, 13:28 6
        
        And whatever you do, never EVER feed her after midnight. -- nm - Diva Jun 17, 13:30 5
        
        and even if you follow these rules you will have, at best, a 50% chance of survival. -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 13:31 4
        
        given the choice of being between an Alien, a Predator and Chun...I pick the first two. - Mel Profit Jun 17, 13:33 3
        
        This is funny considering ten-years-ago-Mel's obsession. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 13:40 1
        
        the ironies are many. - Mel Profit Jun 17, 13:45
        
        It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 13:37
      - slow, calm, quiet, dark, subtle. Check. Plan: Yankees/Cubs and gay bars? Shit. -- nm - ty97 Jun 17, 13:26 2
        
        hope all your insurance is paid up. -- nm - Diva Jun 17, 13:27 1
        
        I hope he can take some voltage. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 17, 13:29
    - *ditches last directions - looks up directions on how to protect Ty from a strap on* -- nm - Epiphany Jun 17, 13:21

      - once and for all we'd find out that groiny is all talk. - Mel Profit Jun 17, 13:22 1

I'm now going to read every ty97 post as if it starts with "Dear Diary" -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 13:15
I guess what I'd really like to know right now is, can or can't Vermin link to an ST post on his FB wall, as (I guess) he says he wants to. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 13:15 25
- He can. This is a public space. You have as much expectation of privacy here as if you were in a crowded night club -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 13:17 1
  - and just as much chance of being groped or fondled -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 13:18
- Of course he *can*. I'm guessing you are asking if he has the community's permission to do so? - ty97 Jun 17, 13:17 7
  - I'm just trying to address b's concerns. I guess it's not really anything I need to worry about. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 13:20 6
    - To be fair, it's not just b's concern. There are numerous folks (some who have posted over the past boards, some who aren't here now) that would echo - ty97 Jun 17, 13:25 4
      - Nevertheless, I think I'm going to stop worrying about it. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 13:27 3
        
        (Especially since Bery has made it pretty clear it's not happening.) :) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 13:30 2
        
        Well, actually, my question that begins this thread has nothing to do with Bery. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 13:31
        
        There are way more interesting and pressing issues for me to solve :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:30
    - I would say that this is still a (relatively) "private" board, in that very few to no strangers would put "JaxSean" and my FB page together. - JaxSean Jun 17, 13:25
- sure, he can. i guess we just have to trust that STers wouldn't link to a thread that other STers wouldn't want shared with the outer world. -- nm - Andie Jun 17, 13:16 9
  - Well, once they follow the link to see one thread, they can see the whole board. And search it for keywords and posters.. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 13:18 7
    - I would say 99% of people would see the thread, then close the window. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 13:19
    - and then you go to the ST/TT facebook group for the rosetta stone of matching names with handles and *boom* -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 13:19 3
      - well, technically that is private -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 13:20
      - (that's a secret group.) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 13:20 1
        
        ah, okay then. :) -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 13:20
    - if they chose to, yes, which is why i'm againstt it. but we aren't a totalitarian state, if someone wants to link, they will. -- nm - Andie Jun 17, 13:18 1
      - (and, ultimately to me, i have no problem with Vermin's friends being here, or anyone elses. i just don't want mine. if he chooses to invite his - Andie Jun 17, 13:19
  - *tags Andie in an ST linking post on FB* -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 13:17
- See if this helps -- (link) - oblique Jun 17, 13:16
- He wants to do it from one central location, is what he wants. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:15 3
  - This is correct. YOU had the idea of FB to ST traffic! - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 13:20
  - So if his desire to link is so weak that he won't do it without the magic button, maybe we can just forget the whole thing. -- nm - mara Jun 17, 13:17
  - (Like, hit "post" in one place, and dispatch the message to ST, Twitter, FB, et al, with a single click) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:16
what happens on st, stays on st -- nm - moles Jun 17, 13:14 4
