- is there anything particular?? she has a crush on another guy isn't enough? -- nm - b. Sep 2, 13:26 9
  - i think everyone in long term relationships will admit to crushes. like, the cute waiter at the local restaurant or James McAvoy. i don't think that - Andie Sep 2, 13:28 8
    - right, but crush on another guy and let him kiss her at first opportunity? -- nm - b. Sep 2, 13:29
    - but if said crush kisses you and you break up with your current dude for him the next day... - TFox Sep 2, 13:28 6
      - could have been guilt, could have been she thought she could get a ebtter thing going with the crush and got shot down so comes crawling back. -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 13:29 2
        
        do people pre-emptively break up with SOs over guilt? - TFox Sep 2, 13:31 1

        holla. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 13:30
- All this over a drunken kiss? Something doesn't seem right -- nm - amoxy Sep 2, 13:26 4
  - Why? She got drunk, mashed faces with another dude, that seems break-up worthy to me. - musubi Sep 2, 13:27 3
    - I am just saying it was probably more than just a drunken kiss - amoxy Sep 2, 13:29 2
      - Maybe, but I don't see a reason to believe that. (nm) - musubi Sep 2, 13:31
      - not necessarily. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 13:31
- Number 1 thing to watch out for: That she doesn't go and get drunk and kiss other dudes. (nm) - musubi Sep 2, 13:25
- i mean, as long as you don't mind working through that's she's kind of nuts? go for it. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 13:25
- solution, don't let her get drunk. -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 13:25
- enh, she made a big mistake she knows it. you are both willing to work. give it a shot. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 13:25

Q: do STers think that being on LinkedIn is important, career-wise? -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 12:58 16
- I've been on it for years. Every so often I get a headhunter email, but really, I've gotten nothing from it. But it's up to date. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 13:10
- I think it can be useful for networking/keeping contacts, but it's also another entry point for cold callers and spam. -- nm - b. Sep 2, 13:09 4
  - there's a part of me that wonders if i'd be headhunted if i was on there... and if that wouldn't be a good thing. - TFox Sep 2, 13:11 3
    - I get those calls anyway, and did before linked-in; so.. maybe? - b. Sep 2, 13:14 2

- not particularly for me. but i figure it can't hurt, either.....nm - x Sep 2, 13:00 1
  - Yeah, I am on it but don't log in often -- nm - amoxy Sep 2, 13:06
- I've found it to be completely useless to date, but I haven't been looking for a job in 5+ years -- nm - Mr. Havens Sep 2, 13:00
- I feel I should be, in case something ever happens to my current job. But I'm not, and have trouble finding the desire. -- nm - ty97 Sep 2, 13:00 1

So, following the 'persona' thread... what do you think of Google's 'no pseudonyms' policy that's been getting a lot of heat? - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 2, 12:50 25
- i don't care. google is a private company and can set their social network anonymity policy as they see fit....nm - x Sep 2, 12:59 3
  - that's it, in the end. it's just a bummer for me that I can't have the good parts. -- nm - b. Sep 2, 13:01 2
    - yeah, i understand how it could be annoying....nm - x Sep 2, 13:08 1
      - I mostly just want to play word games. -- nm - b. Sep 2, 13:10
- i dont like it, obviously, because my google account is hsjtruman -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 2, 12:55
- I am fine with google knowing who I am, but I don't want just anybody to. - b. Sep 2, 12:53 17
  - Google+ requires a profile be public and that it use your real name. But beyond your real name (or a convincing fake) every piece - TWuG Sep 2, 13:00 2
    - the g+ thing is why I let myself have friends there and don't on fb. - b. Sep 2, 13:03
    - IM edit: "should NOT have to" -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 13:02
  - Then keep your sh-t private and don't friend people who you don't want to see your sh-t -- nm - Mr. Havens Sep 2, 12:54 13
    - there aren't enough options, and people make mistakes. companies, too. - b. Sep 2, 12:59 7
      - Look at what it's called. Social Networking. If you don't want to be social, don't use it - Mr. Havens Sep 2, 13:01 6
        
        I just want to be able to choose how and with who I do that. it's a bummer that, too often, it's one way or the other. -- nm - b. Sep 2, 13:06
        
        I want to be social. But some of the web knows me by my real name, some knows me as TWuG, some knows me as mrtwug - TWuG Sep 2, 13:05 3
        
        Then use FB for the fake sh-t and G+ for the real sh-t. Again, simple, if you allow it to be -- nm - Mr. Havens Sep 2, 13:08 2
        
        that's a lot of shit. -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 13:09 1
        
        I'm more full of sh-t than most, but the basic point still stands -- nm - Mr. Havens Sep 2, 13:15
        
        What if Chris Gaines wants to use it? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 2, 13:04
    - Also, I don't think they have any support ATM for organizational accounts (like the ST one) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 2, 12:58
    - Can you keep your name private? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 2, 12:57 3
      - After 20+ years online, could my name be private online anymore anyway? - Mr. Havens Sep 2, 12:59 2
        
        My name is my gmail, but I don't want my name to be what the slacker talk gmail is seen as. See what I mean? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Sep 2, 13:00 1
        
        See my response to b above -- nm - Mr. Havens Sep 2, 13:02
- IIRC, one has the capacity to keep their info private on sites like FB and Google+, and one must approve anyone who wants to link up with you - Mr. Havens Sep 2, 12:53
