poop coming out now
One of my writer friends will literally send me snap shots of particularly impressive shits. He fancies himself a gentleman in all other respects. It drives me fucking nuts.
I would not choose to be friends with someone like that, Cass
Meh. 90% of my friends are shitty friendships of convenience that will die in the summer.
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.
I could probably name 100 bands I really like. Maybe 200 if I was pushed. I couldn't do it for movies though.

off the top of my head without looking at WMP. I'm probably forgetting some really obvious things
The Beatles, for instance. They basically invented music.
I said bands I like.
edit: oh yeah, bands I like who invented music, Zepp and Floyd.
Listen, bro. The Beatles are like...there's like a gene and we all have it and it's the liking-Beatles gene and if you deny it you deny your very humanity.

like, the fundamental disconnect here isn't whether people are comfortable talking about sex- it's whether people have the social awareness (rooted in basic empathy, by the way, liberals) to respect the feelings of others
and if you can't observe that a friend is uncomfortable, or worse observe it and pounce on it to further your 'point'... you're the regressive, not him
I just put this under the "dont be a dick" umbrella
If someone doesn't want to talk about something, or be around something, or whatever, the polite thing is to not do that thing
for some, furthering their cause is far more important than observing basic social niceties.
I know way too much about all of my male friends' sex lives. All of them. In a couple of cases, I know too much about their bowel movements too.
This is kind of the nature of male friends.
man, i never socially discuss my sex life and it makes me really uncomfortable when my friends start going on about theirs.
Yeah but you're old, not like a young college student.
Probably the most involved conversations I have with my friends are just going on and on about stuff about sex.
even as a young college student or high school kid, i didn't talk about my sex life. it's just crass and kind of disrespectful.
it's disrespectful in some contexts. when winky talks about his sexual appetites with a friend of his (who is comfortable with it), in their home, who is being disrespected?

I have never felt comfortable discussing my sex life.
When I was at school and Uni people would be quite explicit and I would just avoid saying anything else myself. It apparently became a bit of a joke with people that I would never say anything (I think they thought it was sweet or something).

it's funny. i used to feel like ones taste in things was really definitional to understanding ones character. like, if i liked punk music and arty filmmakers and classic literature then it really said a lot about what kind of person i am.
i think i've kind of gotten over this. whenever i see artfully-selected lists of "favorite books/ films/ music" that people fill out on social networking sites, it generally just kind of makes me yawn.
on the other hand, i do enjoy talking about media with people who have similar tastes to me. i guess i just don't see it as especially definitional in terms of character.

I just spent two hours - two fucking hours - converting a Worms Armageddon map for play in Worms: The Directors Cut on the Amiga. I had to resize it, reduce the colours, and I spent forever tweaking the palette.

I mean I was trolling you too, but the difference here is that I'm a level 80 warrior troll that will bash your face out with full high end warrior gear and you're just a level 12 scrappy troll running around the swamp killing fish-men for coppers trying to level up to learn how to be a better troll.

i don't really see that as the same thing. holding hands or basic affectionate gestures are appropriate to polite society, and i would include gay dudes holding hands in public as being under that umbrella.
talking explicitly about sexual acts or encounters in mixed company is inappropriate and disrespectful whether you're straight or gay or a swinger or whatever else.

[chat] is like a crowded party. Yeah it's a fun environment and so if you want to talk about cocks or poop or whatever I mean that happens because people are being silly and having a good time, but if someone's uncomfortable, stop and be polite and mindful. And keep in mind that you might be having a great conversation with your buddy, but you have no idea how many people are listening in.

Sadly it was never an option. The King did not like The Beatles.
However there is a limit to how much a person should be expected to censor themselves before that expectation becomes unreasonable.
As to where that line should be drawn,
God, Last.fm's lists are terrible. SOAD have more plays than Zepp? I hate people.
No.

In fairness most Zepp fans probably don't know how to work a computer.
