      - er, what he said. -- nm - b! Apr 21, 16:00
    - A genius teen romanticizes a beautiful girl then spends a night finding out through her and her psycho bf that she's not so great. -- nm - David Apr 21, 15:57 3
      - hmm...psycho bf is a plus, shattering of youthful illusions, good... - znufrii Apr 21, 15:58 1
        
        and honestly sounds like a concept that works much better on the page than on film. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 16:01
      - (but still kind of great in a self-aware sort of way) -- nm - David Apr 21, 15:57
  - Indeed. I don't have particularly high hopes for it translating into a good movie nm - ralph wiggum Apr 21, 15:51 4

To be fair, it's not like anyone on ST is ever going to trust Hotkiss to make a wise relationship decision, ever. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 21, 14:53 23
- judging relationship decision for others is easy - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 14:56 15

    - this one isnt even an ex, Im trying to meet new people. -- nm - Stacy Apr 21, 14:59 12
      - I gave up long-distance a while back. International-long-distance is insanity and of course you know it, but you'll do as you wish. - Qale Apr 21, 15:12 1
        
        SlackerTalk is nothing if not in it either to be helpful or purely for the lolz. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 15:17
      - you would not have received such a response if, say, you'd met someone in s.f. somewhere, or - b! Apr 21, 15:06 [Backboard] 7

        I am going to laugh like a loon if " sext" becomes the next Twitter - Epiphany Apr 21, 15:11
- I'm confused, if you have a 3 out plan and they've corrected a problem that let people have 6 out...that's them sucking? -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 14:57 3
  - It was an error. It had been a feature of the plan to give them a competitive advantage over Netflix. -- nm - David Apr 21, 14:59 2
    - Oh so it was supposed to work that way! I mean I think Blockbuster sucks and all, but was just confused here. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 15:00
    - Err, *not* an error. -- nm - David Apr 21, 14:59
- That seems like the reasonable way to handle that feature, once they have the systems in place to track it. -- nm - TFox Apr 21, 14:56
- Yeah dude, I put my account on hold after they pulled this shit - Gwaahjo Apr 21, 14:54
