Last week, we got a good laugh at a dating related story from a commenter, and the theme of relationships, in their various forms, carried over into the new week.
As we’ve built and shaped this site over the last few months, we’ve gotten to know each other better, and seen friendships and relationships grow and change. It’s good stuff, really. All part of the human experience. If we didn’t have feelings, well, we’d be just like any other animal, like a cow, or something.
Of course, the downside is that sometimes feelings get hurt:
And, while that can actually be amusing, it’s more fun for even the coldest of us to watch people get along:
Even so, we’re a cynical bunch. We know that not everyone is who they say there are online. We’ve had enough online dating stories around here to know this. It’s to the point that even when someone says we’re exactly what they are looking for, we’re still not inclined to believe them:
Of course, if there weren’t services marketing fake girlfriends for the purpose of impressing your friends on social networks, we wouldn’t have all this skepticism. Though, people like Chris might be skeptical no matter what, and that’s how we get a Comment of the Week:
But really, LCL and Madfall, good for you guys.
And again, thank you to everyone for your submissions for the week. One request your kind witch makes: If you send a nom from an open thread, please tell me which thread it is, those things are hard to comb through, and we have a lot of open threads. Further, if you have the ability to send a screen shot, even better. The email address, as always: [email protected]. Cheers!
