Internet Relationships

In what sense?

E: Wasn't PF Internet "friendzoned"

In what sense is it unfair for both parties, or...? Elaboration, if you would.

Also, gotta agree with Jorick saying that it's easier to lie in an internet relationship because there's pretty much no consequences. Not saying it's bound to happen or some people would, but it's not like there's any real way to you can prove somebody's not e-dating somebody else at the same time, or has a real life boyfriend or girlfriend, or whatever. You may feel easier telling this person your deepest darkest secrets you never told your best friend, but that's because the internet is still anonymous to a degree. It's easier to put your trust in someone if you know that it back fires that the only thing that gets torpedoed is your relationship with that person and any online community you may be a part of. In real life, if something you confided gets out to your social circle or workplace or school, that can have some lasting consequences.

can one be internet friend zoned?

The friend zone is a term for people who fail to realize the subject of their affections probably don't reciprocate it because there's something overtly unappealing about them that makes them unsuitable for dating that particular person. Someone doesn't see you in a romantic light even though your intentions are more obvious than the sky's colour, there's probably a reason for it. It's bullshit to blame somebody for to falling for you because you think they should. Life isn't a movie where the guy always gets the girl because he's "owed" it, according to popular culture.

Anyways, I do think online relationships can be pretty legitimate in the sense where you can really emotionally bond with somebody, although maintaining something like that is kind of difficult, especially if meeting is far too difficult to be feasible. Also, tying yourself to a person online is in a way a bit unfair to both parties because you're so focused on what's behind a screen, you're kind of ignoring the life that may be passing you by out in the real world.

Just saw it too. Yikes.

I don't think most people have to worry about it.

Don't be a dipshit and you should be fine, is the rule of thumb I think.

I think Mahz unbanning you is the biggest mistake he's ever made, including the disappearance of old RPG and any possible murders he may have committed irl.

Oh god, he killed somebody, didn't he?

Should. Totes McGoats.

Ok. I just needed that information to ask the following question:Did you make a set of a guy you know nothing about just because he's new and he did a jumping spin-move?Sadly, I sort of know what's going to happen too.Dervish reminded me D:Not his fault, but hints like that can still be a little much.

Haha, sorry Awson. I figured it was a pretty benign hint, given the series has at least one major betrayal and horrible event occur to major characters in each season/ book. :D

I mean, you can have something like 500 subs. It's rather generous.

It's a good day.

Meanwhile in central Alberta, -33 Celsius with the windchill. Boo.

I was literally having a discussion last night about that show and how it makes no sense from a chronological perspective. There's been something like 820 episodes, which if we were to say each episode was a day, that would put Ash and friends at 2 1/4 years, in which there's no signs of aging or maturity. Given that there's no way in hell each episode is a day in Ash's life (really, daily elaborate Team Rocket abduction attempts and crazy, exhausting events every single day? Was there no rest or travel time involved, and are we to believe they walked that vast distance for most of the journey?) The actual time of the series has to have been a lot longer and puberty must never happen while you're on an irresponsible, education deprived vagabond journey with no adult supervision to capture creaures that are literally capable of burning down forests, changing the weather, and levelling mountains.
