"first they came for the..." arguments are soooooooo tiresome in 2012 btw
― 乒乓, Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:32 (thirteen years ago)
first they came for the nice guys who wear fedoras on OKC :|
It's about time someone did something about those. I was thinking of putting out traps.

"Try not to be laughable on the internet" is like some kind of 21st C. paranoid Zen koan.
― Poop Song 89 (Old Lunch), Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:39 (thirteen years ago)
Sorry I just have a sore spot about people reposting internet stuff (esp private convos etc) for laughs because it has been done to me before.

I do agree w/ u guys that the blog probably could have sufficed with just screen captures of the written parts themselves, including pixx is maybe a bit much
― 乒乓, Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:41 (thirteen years ago)
but the pix do reveal that all these 'nice guys' seem to be 'of a type' ; \
― 乒乓, Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:42 (thirteen years ago)
xxxp It's not like living in fear is the only option we have here, dude. You could also just not be an asshole, that option is always open.
― grossly incorrect register (in orbit), Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:42 (thirteen years ago)
You have nothing to be sorry about, Trayce. I'm sure it sucks hard.
― Poop Song 89 (Old Lunch), Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:42 (thirteen years ago)
i have some qualms about this a la Old Lunch but i think in orbit is otm that this is not really akin to a mythical "ugly chicks of okc." what makes these people stick out is not (just) nerdiness or a strong whiff of the pathetic but barely-masked vicious anger
― before and after broscience (goole), Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:43 (thirteen years ago)
Yeah dont get me wrong. calling peopl eout for shit like "youre all bitches oh but BTW shave yr damn legs WHY WONT ANYONE DATE ME" is incredibly laughable, but yeah. the pics? I dunno.

Just sayin'...is there anyone who wouldn't likely come off as laughable and worthy of public mockery to some dickhole on the internet?
― Poop Song 89 (Old Lunch), Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:44 (thirteen years ago)
Cruelty is fine as long as the person is wearing a fedora, I guess.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:45 (thirteen years ago)
therefore we should just burn down the internet
― 乒乓, Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:46 (thirteen years ago)
first they came for the fedora lovers, but I said nothing because my hair looks weird in hats.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:47 (thirteen years ago)
xxxp I don't think that is as big a problem/tragedy as you seem to think it is.
― grossly incorrect register (in orbit), Thursday, 20 December 2012 23:47 (thirteen years ago)
imagine escaping the friendzone only to wind up in the douchezone instead.

deric/trayce you realize all anyone needs to see your super-secret OKC profile is an email address, right?

its not even close to the same thing as a facebook page or 77

Yeah, I'm aware that privacy anywhere on the internet is super illusory. It's just that you come to trust so much in the general tendency of most civilized strangers to not randomly stab you in the neck that it's easy to forget that the internet is the wild west.

Feel like the slippery slope is a concept that is rapidly fading from collective human consciousness these days. Good thing the world is over tomorrow.

if you've ever done anything on the internet you probably deserve to be shamed

pretty sure i've posted about this before, but true story:
in 2006 my work computer crashed and it had to get sent from hawaii to chicago for our corporate IT people to fix/re-image. when the new computer got shipped back, i was really sad to see that the 5 or 10 gigs of MP3s i'd had on it were not there, and yet all of my internet explorer bookmarks were preserved, including that image (which i had no memory of ever seeing, let alone bookmarking).
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Friday, 21 December 2012 01:13 (thirteen years ago)
there is a series of m3g4cyc1es posts originally from someone called d3r3k or d3nn1s or something which display this sort of commingled sadsack ingratiaion / visceral hatred much more acutely and hilariously, but then within his admittedly minor field of voyeur-tumblr curatorship bh is the emperor of all he surveys

Far more insidious than these dudes who kinda nakedly wear their misogyny on their sleeves are the dudes who display textbook PUA tendencies and which I'm given to understand are plentiful on OKC. I feel like there needs to be an anti-PUA pamphlet to pass out to all single women who aren't hip to their tactics.
― Poop Song 89 (Old Lunch), Friday, 21 December 2012 01:33 (thirteen years ago)
I am completely open to people being very well-educated about PUA signifiers, but I feel that this would do little beyond educating a small naive audience that is also likely to have other illusions about human relationships. I think the behaviors encapsulated therein are encouraged, if not nurtured, by people who need or are interested in obvious signifiers and customs in their dating. I probably have my own detestable things I look for and cultivate in myself, but they're just not seen as bad in my crowd.
― mh, Friday, 21 December 2012 02:30 (thirteen years ago)
There are probably people who look at their pictures and comments that have been posted to that site, or women who read them, and wonder what the big deal is. For all we know, some women have sought out the fedora-wearers after seeing them on there. Or men are making such profiles knowing the site exists -- it's still publicity.
― mh, Friday, 21 December 2012 02:32 (thirteen years ago)
never done this type of thing but can i just ask if it's standard ton put up a fried egg preference or what?
― banlieue jagger (darraghmac), Friday, 21 December 2012 02:39 (thirteen years ago)
Yeah, I understand "cooked by you and brought to me on a platter" is a popular choice with some dudes.
― Poop Song 89 (Old Lunch), Friday, 21 December 2012 02:43 (thirteen years ago)
hardly gets to the heart of the matter tho

So today a girl from OK Cupid tried to give me a Friend with Benefits Contract.
Consistent Friend with Benefits: Fundamentals
1. 1 You cannot fall for me.
a. If you have any strong feelings for me consult with me immediately we will resolve the issue
b. If I find out before you tell me yourself, I will leave, no warning, no explanation.
2. 2 I am your ---- buddy, no one else’s, (mutual)
a. We are not “serious”, however I do not sleep with more than one person at a time and neither will you
b. If you are interested in someone else you must let me know we will end it. If I find out you slept with someone else while with me, it is over you will regret it.
3. 3No room for jealousy
a. You are not allowed to be jealous of people I am hanging out with, people hitting on me, or ex-boyfriends/gf.
b. If you find yourself second guessing whether you are jealous or not let me know again if you do show any sign of jealousy it will end abruptly
4. 4No ---- left behind
a. You will not, nor will I, leave any belongings at each other’s houses, cars, or friends’ houses. No “her/his drawer”, No spare toothbrush, no hygienics,
b. I will leave room for accidents, if you unintentionally leave something at the others home, car, etc. you have 24 hours to retrieve it or let them know if they can discard it.
5. 5 No arguing
a. I will accept debates heated conversation and playful banter. As long as one or the other have no hard feelings
b. If you make the other scream, harsh, cry, etc. the relationship will end, abruptly there is no room for error
6. 6 ---- buddy is different than booty call
a. Every time we have sex we need to be hanging out before and after the deed is done. Cuddling is mandatory pillow talk is optional.
b. If there is a reason you cannot hang out or cannot stay afterwards discuss it, 3rd strike and you are out btw.
c. I do not come to your beck and call we decide mutually.

cool how Wes Anderson character's are finding their way into the real world

Yeah there's no way thats a real person.

what a fun discussion

We are not “serious”, however I do not sleep with more than one person at a time and neither will you
This is totally not what a fuckbuddy is, what the hell is wrong with this person.
