Apparently, Netflix does not let more than two devices on one account use it at a time. While not as bad as what Steam does, its still a WTF for me.

Steam still doesn't allow this?  It works when both devices are on the same network(I think) to allow for in-house streaming from computer to computer, but does it still complain otherwise?

Actually for steam, two people can use one library indefinitely as long as the original owner of the library starts steam in offline mode after the sharer has already started a session.

I still don't understand why you listed the non GWG ones since they're active to this very day.

^No seriously I really want to know.  TELL ME YOUR SECREEEETS

Since I'm assuming that you're joking about the relative inactivity of IAAEC and PTTG??, I just randomly opened the forum statistics bars and looked at the new top numbers in the places where GWG was top dog. Didn't care how often they posted.

That doesent work in my experience. Might just be mine, but I dunno.

Friend Zone is the concept that once you fail to push the sexual advance upon a woman she will regard you as merely 'a friend', or as an emotional support device.  She will date more assertive/aggressive men while you will be the person to talks about these men (and their failings) to.

Wait... that sounds reasonable. Why is this concept controversial?

There is certainly a difference I feel between people who come onto me as a friend versus people who come onto me sexually (though all the people I ever got a crush on have TYPICALLY been not as aggressive... with only two of my five crushes in my entire life have been with people who ever actually come onto me)

I mean I know how this concept could be misapplied, but at surface value it simply means "If you speak to someone as a friend they will regard you as a friend and might not immediately see you as a romantic interest"

Because the whole thing is sexist, that's why.  If you want to date someone and they want to be friends with you, you haven't been "Friendzoned", you've been turned down.  No one owes you sex.

Stereotypically, the people who use that word will befriend a woman with the aim of having sex with her, and then when they get rejected they get angry because they did so much for that person.  But him being rewarded with sex/romance was never what was in question, she just saw it as a friendship.

Basically, it "doesn't exist" in the sense that its a dumb concept that should be erased from our language, not in the sense that there can't be a relationship in which one person wants friendship and one person wants romance.

Also, obligatory XKCD.

What's it called if two people become friends (no expectation of sex, love, etc) and only later does one develop romantic feelings towards the other while the other doesn't share those feelings?

^ what I originally thought the term "friend zone" referred to.

[Redzephyr01]

I don't think I've ever actually seen anyone unironically complain about the "friendzone."

Steam must just hate you, I guess. My brother and I do this pretty regularly. It won't let you play with each other, but if the owner is in offline mode the sharer can use the library unrestricted.

Steam also now allows (once you do a little setup work) you to share games between accounts as long as only one person is playing a given game at a time.

Yes, yes it does.


Afterall, it did eat a $80 game.

Why are there so many drugs in the zombie genre?  Even its orgins . . .

[Tawa]

Zombies=gritty.
Drugs=gritty.

Zombies + drugs = extra gritty.

[Fniff]

Hey, if the zombie apocalypse happened, I'd be doing loads of drugs.
And I'm a goddamn teetotaler.

[Sirus]

But wouldn't doing loads of drugs make you more likely to be eaten by screwing with your senses and reaction times? 

Personally, I think a zombie apocalypse would be the best time to be a teetotaler.

Except caffeine. Caffeine is the chemical of the gods.
