Haha. This thread is sometimes better than the Pics That Make You Laugh thread.

Are these people you know? Because if not: Why should they? I don't mean that in an assy (though I guess it can be taken that way) way, it's a serious question. I don't add random people to my Failboat profile and I have one from a dude in high-school that I never talked to more than... maybe... two times that's been sitting there for a month non-removed. It's like "Uh, dude, really?"
Well, it's part of the whole "social/communication" aspect of it. :p
The whole "friends of friends". Kinda the same as sending someone a message in OkCupid, Adam4Adam or Manhunt; but more targeted to "Hey, you seem to like Mario based on all those pics you have of Mario-stuff in your room...how are things over there?"

Since, I don't receive requests or anything, I try to initiate conversations with people "to make online friends". No expectations or nothing about dating or a relationship. I don't message them asking if they want to go out or have sex. :p

Then again, even on OkCupid, etc. the "experience" was the same. XD

I think you're missing the point of the social network for most people. The point of Failbook/MyFail/OkStupid/etc. etc. etc. etc. is that they focus on themselves/people around them Though in OK's case they are trying to find someone else.

But in FB/MF's case they're going to friend people they know to talk to through the service or catch up with. In general they aren't going to friend people they don't know unless they're purposely going for that thing (IE: Both agree to do it for a Failbook game or the like).

Maybe I'm just too private and not very social to where this seems to be the case for me. But I find it weird getting PM's and stuff from people I don't know in my day-to-day or school life. Of course, one of those people told me I looked hot with a shaved head despite the fact that most people in my day-to-day were like "WTF NO D:" so take that with whatever.

Not missing the point. :p
Hence why Facebook added a "people you may know" and "friends of friends" options, as suggestions of people you can talk to. Since I don't get requests, I rather talk to people instead of sending a request, just so they can have +1 on their lists. :p

If the point was only friending people "they know" you would't have the thousands of people that have friends lists with over 1,000 people, which is why I prefer to initiate a conversation rather than just been another one on their lists...at first at least.

Then again, maybe I am missing the point, and I fail at getting to know people hence why I've been single all my life. XD

That shit is so annoying. Yes, Failbook, because I oh so know John Q. Derp that's 1 mutual friend of a friend I have. DERP.

Some people get off on having a lot of people on their profile because it makes them seem popular when they really want. I don't think those 1,000 people are an accurate depiction of the social network userbase.

Then again, maybe I am missing the point, and I fail at getting to know people hence why I've been single all my life. XD

*shrug* All I'm saying is I'd find it weird to get a message from someone I don't know, even if they're a "friend of a friend," out of the blue. If it was a social meet-up, okay. But random friend requests get a "buh!?" and "denied" from me.

what's crackalacking? haven't seen you in ages.
The zombie apocalypse started down here but I don't think anyone noticed. I've fled into the wilderness, and I'm currently slowly burning through the batteries of the stash of assorted smartphones I managed to loot from the remains of the bourgeoisie undead. When I'm done with these I think I'll cast off the shackles of civilisation and revert to a prehistoric life of the hunter gatherer - it's not like this island has as an apex predator to threaten me. I might emerge in a decade or so, no longer able to speak, as the first Australian feral child (we'll cast aside extraneous detail like how old I am now). I don't mind, this life seems pretty interesting when compared with the insufferably monotonous and dull life I'd be leading otherwise.

Fucking school.

This!

That's all I have to contribute to this conversation.

(Also, if you want to level up your gayness, go see one of the Janet concerts this week in Melbourne. Ben is looking for a date.)

Speaking of Facebook's people that you may know, lately I got recs for some hot guys that I don't know. I mean they're not a friend of my friends or anything like that since it'd be obvious if they are. In that case, how did Facebook choose this people? It fascinates and creeps me out at the same time because while these guys are hot, I have no idea who they are. Also, I'm not the type who'd friend someone I don't know in RL.
 
Obsessed said:
You are pretty hot. Stop thinking you aren't.

Not that type of pity. >_>

In that case, how did Facebook choose this people?

You mean the subscriber thing? Or friends of friends? Because if they're giving you friends of friends with 0 mutual friends, I dunno. Maybe interests? Data? Birthdays at the same?
 
So I watched Dare on Netflix. That shit does not happen. But enjoyable. I keep finding these "type" of movies and I'm not even purposely looking.

Actually, I'm wondering the same thing.
In my case, is because for some reason; Facebook started recommending me guys I talked/saw at some point when I had accounts in Adam4Adam and Manhunt. XD

And my email wasn't attached to those accounts; so I don't know. They're not friends of friends, not people that share similar interest for the most part..yet, their little pictures started appearing there. :p

Is like Facebook finally accepted that I'm gay, so is recommending me other gay guys from Puerto Rico.. :p

Hmm...'Dare'...sounds familiar, let me check around.

EDIT:
Oh!

Yeah, watched it some weeks ago. I found out about it, because I was watching one of those "Boys Life" collections of short-gay films on Netflix and one of the short films was the original 'Dare'.

The "full version" was from the same director, but different cast. The only cast fro mthe short that returned was the guy that was the 'Detention Teacher' (Adam Fleming) [he was the "geeky/gay guy in the short].

The short was similar and more straight to the point. But it ended at the "pool scene" and was more focused on the story between the jock and the geek; than the girl. The full-movie added a ton more character "development" and complexity; sometimes unnecessary. The "twist" more like "psycho twist" it took was disappointing and the ending felt incomplete; like the movie just ends.

The short was more "cute" since the geek was more shy and the relationship/ending left things open.

It does suggest different things (events, interests, etc) depending on your gender and 'interested in' choices.

Yeah. hehehe, I just found it weird that out of nowhere it was those "specific guys"...of all guys it can recommend. XD

I'm quite confused by the ending. But the entire cast (well, except maybe Ben :) were really hot.

I think i'll need to hit up imdb or something. I sometimes have major trouble figuring out plots. Makes me feel slow.
 
lol I was just watching a sketch on Saturday Night Live and they were making fun of Japanophiles, Anna Farris was in the sketch. It was still hilarious though.

That was amazing and refreshing to see that kind of comedy after spending the past 2 days[and tmr] at comic con where that kind of "fandom" is a plenty. "Daytona Beachierru" LOL
 
Delio: I'm so glad you went into that "men's rights"/that thread on GAF. >_> <_< >_>

Hopefully I don't get banned for playing defender/devil's advocate in that thread.
 
hey guys I was just thinking, is there any Euro-Gay-Gaf representition here? is it big?

do you think a separate thread for Euro Gay stuff would make sense and would be allowed?

I could really use some gaymer friends with whom I could play online (something hharder to achieve beause of different day times) and talk about random stuff that has nothing to do with America.

I am actually from latin origin but been living on and off in Germany for the last 12 years or so. Anyone else out there?

I don't think there would be any problem with it, but you should just PM a mod or something first.
 
Yeah it's been known for a while, kind like the fact that Anderson Cooper is. Glad he finally decided to announce it officially.
 
I don't think it was widely known, if I'm not mistaken (which is possible that I am), he was usually ambiguous about it and showed support for various gay causes.

Pd. To me he'll almost always be Sylar.

Season 1 Sylar, I hope?

Trick question, there was only ever one season.

Yep. Actually, kept giving it a chance season after season, but that show is terrible past the first. Sucks it didn't keep its momentum.

Watched until the end, kinda regret it. Though I was half-impressed that the series' denouement was actually watchable. Still, S1 for lyfe, will just pretend that the others don't exist, especially given that it improves the ending of S1.

Yup, same here. I watched every single week until the end, never missed an episode. Every single episode, I would rage out with my dad about how shitty it was and how they never used their powers logically :lol Still, Season 1 was great, and 2/3 were awful, and then 4/5 were decent. So towards the end, I wasn't as mad.
 
Definitely how it was for me, bashing the sloppy writing and inconsistent abilities/overpowered stupidity kept me going for the longest time! :P

Still, was worth the watch if only for S1 and Bryan Fuller's occasional influence. "Company Man" was easily the best episode of the whole run, g'damn was it good.

Did you guys know that Zachary Quinto (Spock from Star Trek movie) was gay?
It was always implied but not in the way as if he was actually hiding it. I would barely call it ambiguous considering some of the things he's said in the past. Love Zack and he's pretty cute too. Played such an awesome villain and did a great Spock. Didn't he play a gay character in a movie too?
 
Just thinking about shows with a great fan following Does anyone watch the Walking Dead. I haven't but I've been wanting to for the longest time. The creator Robert Kirkman is pretty cute too
