TFox won the Amazon ad lottery -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:15 1
- and Callisto! -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 12:16
Because I'm hopelessly clueless and sheltered - Is there a high incidence of loneliness amongs gays? Is it a higher rate than the population at large? -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 26, 12:10 13
- According to my parents "You will die alone, with no family or spouse, becuase gays have rampant sex with multiple partners" - MDH Apr 26, 12:17 8
  - Everyone dies alone. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:18 1
    - right? i *hate* the "you're going to die alone" thing. -- nm - kare Apr 26, 12:19
  - Am I the only one having trouble finding the downside? -- nm - Roger More Apr 26, 12:18
  - "So I'll die happy?" -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:18
  - "those two things aren't mutually exclusive, mom" -- nm - mr. irrelevant Apr 26, 12:18 1
    - If I said that, she would die on the spot. -- nm - MDH Apr 26, 12:19
  - "Rampant sex with multiple partners? SCORE!" -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 12:18 1
    - They said it like it's a bad thing. -- nm - TWuG Apr 26, 12:18
- i would think it depends on the people around them. but even with a supportive family/community and feeling free to be "out" - kare Apr 26, 12:16
- I would think so. the higher suicide rate follows that. -- nm - b. Apr 26, 12:13 1
  - As a follow-up question: Why is that (in your opinion)? - Fuzzy Apr 26, 12:18
- [deleted]
Jack's question presupposes that one needs to or must come out to one's parents. - TWuG Apr 26, 12:10 13
- Eventually what will you do with a partner/potential family? etc. Can't hide it forever. -- nm - MDH Apr 26, 12:21
- That said, I have a cousin who came out to her mother and sisters. She has no plans to come out to her father. - ty97 Apr 26, 12:18
- I don't think I could go satisfactorily go through life without my parents knowing that part of me -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 26, 12:16
- I'd say you "need" to come out to your parents if you're close enough that they will ask about/care about your relationships. - TFox Apr 26, 12:15 1
  - yep. depends on how big a part of your life they really are. -- nm - kare Apr 26, 12:18
- I'm unconvinced that something as basically intrinsic and... - OAE Apr 26, 12:14 1
  - "should" is not the same as "will". -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:16
- Seems unhealthy to me *not* to. -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:13
- [deleted] 1
  - or maybe he's worried that his father will run off with the boyfriend! -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:14
- Seems dishonest is all. I'd rather my son come out to me so we can engage in his life than him keeping a secret -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 12:11 2
  - oblique - MDH Apr 26, 12:20
  - of course it's dishonest. Sometimes you make that choice to make your own life more pleasant. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:18
I just realised that it's been a long time since I've berymandered. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:08 1
- I've done it periodically; but the times I've d'oh-forehead-slapped myself after ordering something and realizing I could have outnumber that. - b. Apr 26, 12:12
LYC: I'm all caught up on Lost and Supernatural but not Flash Forward. I need to stay caught up on Lost because your spoiler posts make it all seem - oblique Apr 26, 12:08 2

- This is the most quirky cool thing on my wish list. -- (link) - TFox Apr 26, 12:07

- ST book club's boomk for May -- (link) - Roger More Apr 26, 12:07
- ^-- this should work for Amazon MP3s, too, btw. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:07 6
  - really? -- (link) - loosilu Apr 26, 12:08 5
    - What part of SFW don't you understand?! -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:08 4
      - I can't help what turns you on. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:09 3
        
        But you should know that girls aren't it. -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:10 2
        
        Except maybe Alyssa Milano -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 26, 12:11 1
        
        or Salma. Or Kate Winslet. - ty97 Apr 26, 12:13
so how long does it take to cycle through the amazon ads? - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:02 23
- Look, are you going to buy super-sticky post-it notes or not? -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:03 20
  - like i said on b2, i didnt post that item. i think that was b! - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:04 2
    - they are pointy. not as pointy as the stick with which I will "address" further critique of my.. - b. Apr 26, 12:06 1
      - the IM is making me giggle at the imagery. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:07
  - can they change his hellfire rifle to a 10,000 damage rocket launcher? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 12:03 16
    - Relatedly, I found a shotgun that says "This thing shoots rockets!" -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:04 15
      - I got one of those, and also found a 900 damage rocket launcher. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 12:06 1
        
        I found a 1300 damage rocket launcher but it was sloooooow reloading. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:07
      - yeah, those arent as cool as the description makes it sounds. i have an assualt rifle - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:05 12
        
        I also found an uinlimited shot pistol yesterday. - groiny Apr 26, 12:06 7
        
        yeah, but it shoots slooow. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:07 6
        
        actually, it does not shoot slow. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 12:07 4
        
        hmm, the one i got yesterday did. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:08 3
        
        it is not a revolver. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 12:08 2
        
        hmm. cool for you. - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:10 1
        
        oh, yeah, I like the one you dropped for me as well. - groiny Apr 26, 12:12
        
        Heh. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:07
        
        and i got that - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:05 3
        
        I've killed the 100 midgets, but I haven't gotten their mission yet. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:06 2
        
        there are two large ground areas, the one with moxxi and the other one. - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:09
        
        *hides* nm -- nm - Mal Profit Apr 26, 12:07
- the selection updates every 15 minutes -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:02 1

bison burgers on frybread buns are delic. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:01
I hate when I type a response to a post, get interupted, finish the reply and see that the board has already rolled. - Fuzzy Apr 26, 12:00 2
- thats what she said. oh! -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:02
- at least you made it to B1 before half a new board had passed. -- nm - b. Apr 26, 12:02
fwiw, I can't see st ads at home for some reason; but they show at work. -- nm - b. Apr 26, 12:00
so, on a scale of 1 to Orange, what do we think of the amazon ads so far? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:00 38
- Anything that pays the bills that you don't have to pay to support this little band of... - OAE Apr 26, 12:10
- I prefer Google ads. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:05
- I like them and promise I won't do that again. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:05 4
  - I should make it choose 2 random ones from a pool of 100 ... then we could get the dreaded Pavarotti+Rectal Probe combo. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:06 3
    - I know it was wrong but dude, that was funny. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:08 1
      - agreed. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:09
    - I wish it would let re-link stuff work. - ty97 Apr 26, 12:07
- I like them. -- nm - Callisto Apr 26, 12:04
- I really like them. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 12:04
- I grandly prefer them to the "maybe this refresh will be a chick I want to jam while i'm working" of the old banner ads, actually. -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 12:04
- I like the concept, but we need to link more interesting (sfw) shit. - ty97 Apr 26, 12:03 20
  - nothing sfw is interesting - Danedukenuuk Apr 26, 12:08
  - People really think that a small image of a speculum is not safe for work?? -- nm - mara Apr 26, 12:06 16
    - if i wasn't quitting already, i would have been extremely worried. mainly by the text. -- nm - kare Apr 26, 12:11
    - It's clear that some members of the community do. We are a diverse community with diverse opinions. - ty97 Apr 26, 12:10 5
      - I understood why people objected. I was just really surprised at the NSFW. I'll stop now. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 12:11
      - Indeed. I'd describe it not exactly as NSFW, but as "squidgy". And eventually there'll be a way to eliminate squidgy ones from the rotation. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:11 3
        
        those are the hardest to filter. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:13
        
        You should include a way to have the NSFW checkbox next to the posting on ST decide if you display it or not...hmmm -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 12:12 1
        
        Yes, I was mulling that over this morning. - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:13
    - i'm actually really surprised by the reactions to the speculum, honestly. - TFox Apr 26, 12:08 2
      - me too. I knew it was cheeky but not NSFW. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:11
      - I thought it was tasteless and kind of ruiny, but I never would have thought somebody would say it's NSFW. (But then I felt the same way about xkcd.) -- nm - mara Apr 26, 12:10
    - it looked like a water faucet. -- nm - Callisto Apr 26, 12:08 5
      - Seriously. The rectal thing look even more innocuous. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 12:08 1
        
        it's a thermometer!!! -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:12
      - i wasn't playing when i said it reminded me of Kevin from Up. Like, identical. Chrome Kevin. -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 12:08 2
        
        *laughing* -- nm - Callisto Apr 26, 12:12 1
        
        Your OB/GYN visits will never be the same. So says someone named Kevin -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 12:13
  - We could do an amazon link poll occasionally just for fun. -- nm - Callisto Apr 26, 12:05
  - *squint* -- nm - b. Apr 26, 12:04
- Pineapple. -- nm - Ender Apr 26, 12:03
- I'm pleased that my ad blocking proxy server allows your Amazon ads through. Adblock did not -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 12:02 2
  - adblock on firefox is allowing them for me -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 12:04 1
    - not for me. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:04
- Chrome adding extensions support means I no longer see them. - TWuG Apr 26, 12:02
- (And we'll assume that Spawn's vote is "Orange") -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:01
- adds??? here????? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 26, 12:00
Dragonlance. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:00 6
- Rasitlin. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 12:00
- Lesbian erotica. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:00 4
  - Obama and Jason Heyward Fight Crime -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:00 3
    - apparently, Jason Heyward needs to come to Chicago. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 12:01 1
      - More like Chicago needs to come to Jason Heyward. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:02
    - I'm still getting a camera ad. How disappointing. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:01
there's an episode of Popular Mechanics for Kids with a young Elisha eating seal -- nm - zork Apr 26, 11:59
You know, parents should have to lead the coming out process. Just walk up to your kid, say "I know you're gay" and done with it. - ty97 Apr 26, 11:59 5
- some kids like Vanilla Ice Cream, and some kids like Chocolate ice cream, and some kids - groiny Apr 26, 12:02 2
  - because ice cream and cock are mutually exclusive -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:05 1
    - There go my dinner plans. -- nm - TWuG Apr 26, 12:07
- "But, MOM! I'm NOT GAY!" "Son, it's okay, we still love you and accept that you are happy being gay." But I'm NOT GAY!" -- nm - TWuG Apr 26, 12:01
- [deleted]
Mom, I'm gay and this is Joe. *Mom punches Joe in the face* -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 11:59 18
- fwiw, i didn't take it as he'd bring the dude, as much as he'd just be able to say "no, i won't be a lonely slut forever, i'm in love. with ______." - TFox Apr 26, 12:02 8
  - even still, for those parents who have trouble accepting the situation, it gives them a target to blame. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:04 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - "I'm gay and happy with it" ... 6? months later ... "I met someone". No need to mention any loneliness. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:07
  - I think it is just as bad as "Mom, this is Heather, the girl I lost my virginity to". Mom will hate the first - oblique Apr 26, 12:04 3
    - i do agree with that aspect, for sure. maybe tell her when you're dating someone you know you won't stay with, let her hate him. - TFox Apr 26, 12:05 2
      - the sacrificial gay. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 12:07 1
        
        I don't suggest this if the family owns red Snuggies -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:10
  - [deleted]
- Amy, we need to talk . . . -- nm - spwan Apr 26, 12:01
- my parents are predisposed to hate everyone I date and I'm not even gay. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 12:01 2
  - maybe they actually want you to bring home a girlfriend -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:02
  - Maybe they know something... -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 12:01
- Logistically, how would it work? "Mom, I'm bringing my friend Joe to the house for my visit this weekend" "Ok, honey, who is Joe?" - ty97 Apr 26, 12:01 1
  - Ideally, comedically speaking, there'd be a wacky plan to pass him off as an old college friend, there'd be a near miss when mom walks in... - Ender Apr 26, 12:10
- Yeah, if I were the boyfriend, I'd be displeased with Jack's friend's method. But if I was the parent, it wouldn't matter. - Dr.Vermin Apr 26, 12:01
- [deleted] 1
  - I think RC would punch you in the face then :) -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 12:01
The most dangerous game... -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 26, 11:59 2
