Don't invite her over for Scrabble for a while, man. Not that it's a bad game or anything, but two people playing Scrabble, alone... you gotta be comfortable with a person first before you decide to do something so lacking in stimulation.
What if you spell out sexually suggestive words with your tiles, whilst making this face :winky: ?

TL DRNot at all confident in his reflexive opinions of thingsRegistered Userregular
To be on the safe side, I just have sex with all my friends.
The idea that the American 'pro-life' groups win and then take on Canada
beware infiltration of your civil service, then
it's a real, albeit low-probability (I think), risk. Certainly more plausible than an overt attempt to mobilize pro-life movements at a popular level in a socially liberal country
Eh, the pro-life groups here been working to set up networks in the UK for the last decade and change. Same with Australia. With more success in Australia apparently.
It's one thing to set up overseas interest groups that lobby overtly for pro-life causes; it's another thing to set up non-obviously-pro-life groups that can establish credibility in a society where being pro-choice is taken for granted. Think filling the slots of Susan G. Kamen foundations with people whose primary lobbying activity might be toward other causes but who might also be pro-life. And then a Conservative government achieves power for unrelated reasons, has a ready pool of 'neutral'-ish people to appoint to key offices in the civil service (again, for non-conspiratorial reasons like burnishing "I've never voted Conservative before" credentials) - and then suddenly the establishment's conventional wisdom of a topic taken for granted shifts under your feet. It doesn't take a conspiracy, it's just the results of a random process when there is no pressure for a "are you pro-choice?" filter for abortion-relevant offices because it's no longer an issue.
It could happen via random chance but the odds of getting enough zealous people into those positions without someone fanning the flames of zealotry seems incredibly improbable. People have to care about the issue to trigger significant change, and anything less then significant change will simply be erased next time there is a power shift.
There's always a United States of America that dominates international media and will always be fanning the flames of zealotry. It's just that people will watch those zealots speak up, face social censure, and fade away, right up to the point the Very Serious People who were enforcing social censorship have a change of heart you didn't know they were harboring for a while.
Most people in liberal democracies do not live in hyper-democratic systems where every issue can be democratically reinforced easily through sudden populist action; who gets to be part of the establishment matters, for good or for ill.
I don't see why the friend zone is such an offensive topic
I def. have friends who are friends who I wouldn't dream of banging
I'd love a breakdown of the Friend Zone someday. People who talk about it (not Ludious, but people who think they are 'in it') always seem to do so with a sense of entitlement. "If not for that dastardly friend zone, I'd be neck deep in Cindy's clam jam". Why? What if Cindy's just not into you? And it's not because she wants your relationship to stay as it is because she likes what you've got right now - though if it were, that's not unreasonable - or because she doesn't want to run the risk that romance might ruin your relationship, but because she's not attracted to you. Or she just doesn't want to be in a relationship right now. Or because she's into someone else.
There are so many reasons not to date someone, the Friend Zone thing just seems way too simple and reassuring. It's a concept that tells a guy that the reason his best friend won't choke his chicken is because she's so deeply categorized him in her mind as "Friend" that she is no longer capable of viewing him any other way. Which is silly.
puttin you in the friend zone since preschool
look how those two girls look at the kid
he's just tryin to have fun dammit
but alas, he is now just a playground friend
Chutes and Ladder Theory would probably make an amazing youtube series of videos. Kids acting adorably douchey, peacocking on the swing set, negging toddlers.
But yeah when you "enlist" you get a referral link that lets you reserve your callsign if you get 3 suckers. So if you want Char Gundam or Kamina GurrenLagann or something popular it would be a good idea.

It's the place where social awkwardness and ineptitude goes to die.
surprise surprise sometimes people like other people without being attracted to them
One of them I actually asked out, she said no. We moved on and still hang out because she is a cool person and all that.
Adults, have friends who they have even asked out and were shot down and are still friends!
Most of the shit like that XKCD seems to come from teenagers
you know that XKCD isn't showing that as a good thing, right?

Well, [chat], my apartment is clean.
Time to make myself clean and then go hunting and gathering.
Also, this whole draft thing is dumb. It makes me feel obligated to post because I started typing something, then thought better of it, but now a draft is saved and I don't want it to be so I post something inane like the above even though I know nobody cares and I'm not going to be sticking around long enough to join in any meaningful conversation but my hate of saved drafts is greater than my concern over how I look when I post something without any substance.

If it's acceptable in H/A, it probably is here as well.
Of course it is and not in a brobro way.
That's not friend zone though. That's just friends. Friend zone is bullshit created by pathetic people.
Friend zone relevant XKCD.
Don't drag us down to that level. Seriously we are just floating above most of the mud as is!
no that's a "nice guy"
im attracted to everybody i like :O
Also your link isn't a referral link.

Don't need to like to fuck and don't need to fuck to like.
I was wondering why I had a sudden influx of unexpected penis pictures in my PMs.

No it isn't, it's hawken, which looks sweet.
And no, it ain't. Maybe I should make it one?

Oh man, Hawken is no longer coming to XBL.
