Girl is fully and madly in love with her boyfriend. Girl gets wasted because she didn't eat dinner. Boy is entirely sober and makes the move. - Hotkiss Feb 2, 08:19 77
- I should have specified that the guy in question was not her boyfriend, but a brother of another friend in the group. - Hotkiss Feb 2, 08:42 4
  - Stay out of it. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 08:45
  - he's a douchebag; she's skanky. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 08:42 2
    - succinct and to the point. -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 08:50
    - This. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 08:46
- Girl needs to take responsibility, not put her safety in the hands of drunk, partying friends. - con_carne Feb 2, 08:34 21
  - yeah, her friends suck too. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 08:36 20
    - I disagree here, you can't look after every drunk friend. They have to take responsibility for their own actions drunk or sober -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 08:38 18
      - To be clear, I was saying despite friends' best intentions, they should not be faulted because you can't stand up to your SO. -- nm - con_carne Feb 2, 08:42 2
        
        (not her SO. boyfriend is not the make-out-dude.) -- nm - Andie Feb 2, 08:43 1
        
        *grumble* Darned caffeine needs to kick in already... *grumble* -- nm - con_carne Feb 2, 08:44
      - they aren't ultimately responsible, but, back in the day, if i thought my friend was too drunk to make safe decisions, yeah, i'd step in. -- nm - Andie Feb 2, 08:41 2
        
        if it gets to that point, don't you leave and go home? - groiny Feb 2, 08:42 1
        
        generally, yes. but just because you are the *more* sober one, doesn't mean you are *sober*. - Andie Feb 2, 08:43
      - I am not going out with my friends to be a babysitter, you are on your own. - groiny Feb 2, 08:39
      - if your friend says, "i'm drunk, i need help here, help me", then either you are a friend and you help, or you're not and you don't. - TFox Feb 2, 08:39 4
        
        This would be applicable if the question being posed was "are the friends scumbags?" But that's not what's being asked. -- nm - con_carne Feb 2, 08:43 1
        
        we were asked for our thoughts. my thoughts have hence been provided. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:44
        
        I've told you guys about the girl we saw being dragged out of the big easy, right? - the amanda nones Feb 2, 08:42 1
        
        They probably drank just as much, but were able to handle it better (or at least hide it better). -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 08:43
      - if my friend tells me a creepy dude is feeling her up, I help her out. I don't "have fun cockblocking" for the rest of the evening. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 08:38 5
        
        However, I start out by saying "Then don't keep going back to sit next to him, dumbass." -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 08:40 2
        
        right (this is what I was aiming for. If she actively keeps loking for his attention, then screw her, she is on her own) -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 08:41 1
        
        basically it's a team effort to create drama. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 08:42
        
        depends on what the cockblocking was. If she still ended up making out with him then she must not have minded that much? -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 08:39 1
        
        well, was she making out with his cock? - groiny Feb 2, 08:40
    - more booze! poor decision making for everyone! YAY!!! -- nm - Bad Idea Bears Feb 2, 08:37
- "too nice to fend him off" is complete bullshit. she is partially responsible. and he is a dick as well. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 08:32
- the dude sounds like a pyscho though. Sober? WTF? Also, he meets some girl then starts getting handsy on her thigh?... - Beaker Feb 2, 08:31 3
  - you don't get out much do you ? -- nm - decline Feb 2, 08:32 1
    - this. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 08:33
  - you wish to subscribe to it?? -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 08:31
- he's a jerk. but she is not off the hook. being drunk isn't an excuse to make out with some guy who isn't you BF. Also, she wasn't that drunk all - Andie Feb 2, 08:29 16
  - also, if you spent the night having fun cockblocking, how did the making out happen? don't leave your drunk friends alone with creepy dudes. how hard - the amanda nones Feb 2, 08:31 14
    - right. If a dude has his hand on your thigh and you don't like it, then you sit somewhere else. - loosilu Feb 2, 08:34
    - this is like a "i'm deflecting that my friend has a right to be pissed at me by convincing her that she never consentually cheated in the 1st place". -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:33 12
      - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Feb 2, 08:36
      - and she can't be that 'fully and madly in love' if she's sucking face with some creepy guy at a bar - decline Feb 2, 08:35
      - oooh. you are correct. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 08:35 9
        
        imagine if we were hearing this the other way "her boyfriend said it wasn't cheating because he was drunk! and his friends didn't stop him! and he - Andie Feb 2, 08:40
        
        "technically it's only cheating if you ate a full dinner. you only had a salad." -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:36 7
        
        it's only cheating if every drink you had was less than 15% ABV. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 08:37 3
        
        "you had passed responsibility for not cheating to us, but then Archer came on, so really none of us are at fault." -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:38 2
        
        "you weren't facebook official, so we assumed the relationship wasn't that serious." -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 08:39 1
        
        "look, if it was me in your shoes, i totally would have jammed him. so i figured i'd help you out." -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:40
        
        does "just the tip" count as sheating? -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 08:36 2
        
        Only if there's more than one pump. -- nm - mafic Feb 2, 08:38
        
        it's a partial sheathing. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:37
  - it's not nice to tell guys that you have a boyfriend, Andie. it totally puts a crimp in their plans. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:31
- Alcohol is great! It leads to lost of great life choices. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 08:28
- little of both. sober guy hitting on drunk girl is poor form, but "too nice to fend him off" is crap. if you're not interested, say so. I'd rather not - mafic Feb 2, 08:27
- She was weak and he took advantage. They are both to blame. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 08:26 4
  - Maybe it's just me, but if I'm dating someone and I'm in love with them, and we make out in a bar, I'm not sure that's taking advantage. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 08:27 2
    - I think she was not making out with her bf but someoen else. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 08:32
    - it's got to be a "did she cheat?" discussion, it's the only way it makes a lick of sense. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:28
  - If I understood that correctly. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 08:26
- If I'm reading this right, the bf had a hand on her the whole night, they made out, and left together, and she never said anything/ no one stopped it - MDH Feb 2, 08:25 8
  - I think the boy in the story is someone other than her bf (who I'm betting is in another country). -- nm - mafic Feb 2, 08:29
  - I interpreted the story as she realized *that* night what a douchebag her bf is and walked out on him and that her friends were instrumental in - CrankYanker Feb 2, 08:28 3
    - we're also learning that Hotkiss leaves something to be desired as a storyteller. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:29 2
      - we should spend 5 boards trying to interpet the many possibilities. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 08:31 1
        
        just 5? -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 08:32
  - More like some other guy had a hand on her, she ended up making out with him, but then left when she realised what she was doing. -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 08:27 2
    - oh, I didn't see this possibilty....makes more sense. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 2, 08:29
    - Ooooh okay, I'm reading it wrong then. Thanks. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 08:28
- I can only say that I'm glad she got out safely and that nothing serious happened. I applaud her friends. - CrankYanker Feb 2, 08:24
- dude should have some class and not face eat a drunk chick -- nm - oblique Feb 2, 08:24
- "but is too nice to fend him off" omg, get a grip and tell him to get his hand off of it. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 08:24
- this post is confusing. she didn't give consent to make out? -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:21 8
  - by getting hammered and not controlling her own actions, she's at least partially fault. - the amanda nones Feb 2, 08:28
  - and was the sober boy her boyfriend or some other dude? (I'm assuming the bf) -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 08:22 6
    - oh, i assumed so too but maybe not. that maybe makes it make more sense if its not. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:23 3
      - in which case, i say her friends did a shitty job of being friends when a drunk friend was asking for help. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:24 2
        
        Yeah, "monitoring the situation" is total bullshit. Stop it if she wants it stopped, don't play around with things like this. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 08:26 1
        
        *nods* -- nm - znufrii Feb 2, 08:34
    - That's what I thought at first, but it only really makes sense if it's the opposite -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 08:23 1
      - (why I asked :) ) -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 08:25

  - Chairman of GOP is weak. -- nm - con_carne Feb 2, 08:14

  - Although that's a beverage I would not turn down either, I refuse to be mistaken for any dude whose name is Henry Hopper. -- nm - con_carne Feb 2, 08:09
AP considered changing from #28 to #23, but was told it would cost him around $1 million to do so...WTF? -- (link) - Beaker Feb 2, 07:54 4
- yeah, I feel really bad for him right now. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 07:58
- I'm a little surprised that there's only a million dollars of AP jerseys out there to sell. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 07:56 2
  - I imagine they'd let him pay cost. -- nm - mafic Feb 2, 07:58 1
    - it's also pretty dick to the other 4 billion people in MN who already have Peterson jerseys. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 08:03
hmm, in other backup plan talk, has anyone tried/heard about jungledisk? -- (link) - tRuMaN Feb 2, 07:53 8
- heard of, never used. crashplan's deal is much better for their family plan -- nm - oblique Feb 2, 08:10
- you know... photo/video backup is a much smarter use for my Amazon Cloud Drive than the music I'm not listening to. - TFox Feb 2, 07:55
- wait, it uses amazon's cloud? They why would I pay them when I could just pay amazon. -- nm - sycor Feb 2, 07:54 5
  - true. but maybe it has to do with the interface or software, no idea. - tRuMaN Feb 2, 07:58 2
    - free for 5GB, $20 for 20, etc. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 07:58 1
      - hmm, maybe that interface wont suck........ -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 2, 08:00
  - I've used amazon ... the interface is somewhat cumbersome. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 07:56 1
    - fair enough. I've only used it once or twice. -- nm - sycor Feb 2, 07:57
For Loosi... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Feb 2, 07:53 [Image] 1
Andie, thanks, not sure the wife would go for that plan though...... nm -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 07:51
I think it's a little strange that the LW has discerned that his ex is cheating thru stuff he reads second-hand in FB. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 07:46 20
- He never says how old the daughter is. And with all her cheating during their marriage - amoxy Feb 2, 07:57 1
  - coming up next! -- nm - Maury Feb 2, 08:05
- Yeah, he wants to believe it a little bit too much. -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 07:54
- unless second base is "sharing a scorpion bowl", he's jumping the gun a hair. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 07:47 3
  - as you said he needs to keep talking to his daughter about what goes on. He can't control what his ex does in her second marriage. - Diva Feb 2, 07:52 2
    - re this and your IM, I defniitely got the sense he is trying to stick it to his ex. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 07:54 1
      - apparently everyone else was sticking it to her, he just wants a shot -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 08:05
- yeah. Unless the ex is posting on the wall of the mutual friend/family member, how is he seeing it? -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 07:47 10
  - you can just type someone's name in and see their shiz if that's how they have it set. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 07:48 9
    - right. so he's just going to look at her wall. he's not learning stuff "through the family member" or whatever. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 07:49 8
      - if she has it set to "friends of friends", then that why he can see it when he goes to her page. -- nm - TFox Feb 2, 07:50 7
        
        or "mandy posted on foxy's wall" would be in mandy's feed as well as foxy if your privacy shit isn't tight. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 2, 07:54 4
        
        well, as others pointed out, if this chick is actually posting cheating stuff all over FB, her husband already knows. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 07:55 3
        
        Not all husbands are on Facebook. -- nm - mara Feb 2, 07:56 2
        
        but they have friends and family members. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 07:57 1
        
        jonathan's wife was banging john for years; many of their friends knew or had suspicion. it's really uncomfortable to talk about. - the amanda nones Feb 2, 08:07

so like, is there interest in ST-crashplan? - tRuMaN Feb 2, 07:43 11
- It's a means of backing up your data not to the cloud, but to someone else's computer that's running particular software. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 08:42
- My techie friends have a shared secure server that we all use to backup files. - ceregon Feb 2, 08:10
- If I am going to send my private, important files to an individual, I would want to chose that person carefully. -- nm - loosilu Feb 2, 08:05 1
  - the thing about using crashplan is that your data is encrypted, the other person cannot see it or read it -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 2, 08:21
- You really want znu's unicorn porn on your drive? -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud God Feb 2, 07:52
- I don't think it would help you sleep -- nm - con_carne Feb 2, 07:50
- I know of a company that has something in the works for backups ... I could probably get us individual discounts ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 07:50
- It's a great idea but in practical terms, that's it's hard to manage the data. I myself have about 620GB of data that my crashplan would send someone - oblique Feb 2, 07:45 1
  - ohh, didnt think of that. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 2, 07:48
- What is this? -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 07:45 1
