I just discovered in a rather roundabout way using FB that a friend of mine's fiancee is cheating on him. No, I will not be sharing his/her name with any of you who are friended to me. :zipped:
Tease!
Die!
Spit it out, asshole. or you know, is she hot?

Pics? ;)
Tell him.
How can you be positive?
Not intended to be a tease, really. -_-
But here's the method by which discovery occurred: the guy she is cheating with just opened an FB account and posted an album of pics of the two of them. One of the pics had another girl in it (all three were in this photo) who I happen to be friended to. Therefore, that photo showed up on my news feed. With Facebook, if a photo gets dropped onto your news feed then you are also granted rights to view the entire associated album even if you aren't friended to that person.

Tell him.
Done already. My loyalty is to him. She's a nice enough girl but she's been torturing him lately and would give him no reason why... like she made him move out of their house a few months ago without giving him a concrete explanation.
Sounds like it was headed south anyway.
I think it's less the case of "be careful what you post" (since she didn't post it) but be careful who you are friends with on Facebook.

Oh, it was, but she was not giving him concrete reasons why, like I said... and he was beating himself up trying to figure out what he'd done and what he could do, if anything, to make things right.

When a women forces you to move out the relationship is *over*. Why does your buddy think they still were in a relationship?
Dude, I have no idea, but he kept saying "I don't know what's happening", "I don't know what's happening", and so forth. Well, now he knows. :mellow:

I have to say that, when he first told me about the problems a month or so ago, my first thought was that she was cheating, but of course I had no evidence or anything.
Quote from: PRC on October 21, 2009, 11:54:23 AM
How can you be positive?
There are multiple pics of them embracing, etc. with comments from his friends like "dude when can I meet her" and stuff. :contract:
Seems less a case of her not being careful, as of him just not getting the message. ;) Doesn't sound like she will be all that shocked! and horrified! that her "secret" got out! :lol:
Anyway - is she hott?

FB is kind of weird. It is pretty neat to get in touch with some people, on the other hand, I feel like I don't "do my part" in that posting crap all the time seems so inane to me. 90% of what people post I could NEVER imagine posting myself. Who fucking cares, really?
On the other hand, some of it is very cool, and I suspect that difference has more to do with whether I give a shit about the person posting, rather than the actual content of their posts.

Exactly. I post maybe once ever 2-3 weeks. OTOH I have friends who post like 20 times a day with the most inane nonsense imaginable.
"I'm thinking..."
"I'm tired!"
"I have a headache :("
"I'm going to the gym now!"
"I'm bored lol"
...and so forth.
I think I lasted 3 posts with twitter. And those were about bowel movements IIRC.

Maybe.
I don't go out of my way to put serious stuff on there, and think it odd that other people do. But I bet in certain circumstances it can be a great way to get the word out about something important.
I check FB, I rarely post, maybe once every 2 months.

That's assuming the other guy did not want to keep it discrete. But it's always a good idea to be careful of what you post. It amazes me how many people start with the assumption of privacy when dealing with duh innernetz.

I think that the full sentence should be "Be careful what you post on Facebook...if you do stuff that you don't want people to know about".

Correcto. We have a couple that post frequesntly. Fahdiz? Wags? a few more I think. Who else post frequently?
I post the weird crap when I have absolutely nothing else to do or need a break by tossing out inane crap. Anywhere from every few hours to every few days, leaning towards once every two or three days.

I keep facebook posting to once a dayish.
Sometimes I leave it a few days with nought and very rarely update it twice if I feel something warrants it.
I just don't get Twitter with its minute by minute updates.

How did you do that?
I know employers check facebook but still, what do they look for?
To have too professional a profile is just...wrong. Surely they expect employees to have a life and friends apart from work- I'd imagine its even very desirable.
But meh, I have high privacy settings on mine. And I don't post anything dodgy, if a friend catches a picture of me making a prat of myself when drunk they generally know better than to upload it.

:huh: Well first of all I meant I had consultants not be hired by clients back when I was doing staffing. I *wanted* these people hired, but the nosy-ass client is the one who did the snooping.
In one case it was because the girl was all emo like "I want to kill myself today lol", and stuff like that. The client's comment was "She's just so negative!" I then looked at her profile myself and didn't think it was so bad.
In another, it was actually the opposite of what you were suggesting--a client snooped a guy's profile and saw he was into Rush Limbaugh, etc. and was all GOD GOD GOD JESUS JESUS JESUS GOD and was like "I don't want that intolerant nut working here." The client was like an ex-hippy type.... smoked some clove cigarettes with him and my sales guy. :blush:
In both of these cases I felt like there was a bit of discrimination afoot, but it's not worth the risk of losing the account. :zipped:

Never met a militiant atheist. Now, militiant religious people seem to be dime a dozen. Wouldn't hire a person with a cross necklace or a fish sign on their car's bumper sticker/hood, for example.
Do "militiant atheists" wear some special head-dresses? Or insist on eating only special foodstuffs? Or take days off to celebrate some militiant atheist holidays? Or carry special jewelry on their bodies?

Extremism in the defense of truth is no vice. ;)
Besides, I may be wrong, but I really think you guys are perceiving this from a perspective of a country that is dominated by public displays of religious beliefs.
Tell me, are these militant atheists people who jump on you out of blue, without even knowing your religious denomination (if any) and begin preaching that there is no god? Or do they mostly react to, say, people who bring Jesus (or Allah or whatever) into the conversation, or carry religious symbols (such as cross necklaces or Jesus fish bumper stickers) or insist on incorporating religious symbols and phrases into secular and public institutions?
If someone tells me something that is bullshit, I don't see anything wrong in telling him I consider this bullshit - there is nothing militant about it. I would react the same way to someone saying that there was no Holocaust, or carrying an armband with a nazi swastika on it. :huh:

In the second case, I think you would qualify as militantly anti-Nazi, not that that's unusual at all.

I'm curious what people post on their profiles that causes that. Is this the case of them being stupid or you being over-conservative?
It's a case of having a very small work environment with only four people in it. Knowing the personality of the people you're hiring is necessary for a good work environment under those circumstances.
Two of the four we weeded out were youngish and had LOTS of pictures of themselves half-naked, drunk, and all over guys. Two other ones fell into the ultra-conservative camp, and with the other three ladies in the office, it wouldn't really work well.
When you have 40+ people applying for a position, you can have the luxury of weeding them out like this. We pulled the 10 we liked, looked for FB or MySpace pages, and weeded four out. Two others chose not to be interviewed, and that left us with a first pool of four, and another 30+ to look at if none of them worked out.

Besides, I may be wrong, but I really think you guys are perceiving this from a perspective of a country that is dominated by public displays of religious beliefs.
This is an interesting point. As an example I recall a thread on P'dox while discussion on religion was banned, in which RELee (I think) posted something about Hod wanting you to do this or that - no moderator reacted to this. Some posts later someone quoted him and answered with an Atheist rebuke. This second guy was then warned (IIRC by Stonewall) and banned from the thread for talking about religion. The funny thing is Stonewall probably didn't even notice what he did. For him all the prior Hod talk was perfectly natural.

We work in a middle school. We can weed them out if we don't feel that they can provide the right atmosphere and tolerance for our 600+ students. If WE'RE able to find their nearly-naked pics with alcohol freely displayed, then THE KIDS are going to be able to find it. :contract:
As for the other, it's a matter of tolerance. We didn't weed them out because of their political beliefs, but rather because we felt their personalities wouldn't mesh well with the other three ladies in the office. It's no different than saying, "Well, that person was rude on the phone. I don't think we'll bother inviting them in for an interview." It's one way to show who you are to the world, and yes, that opens you up to be ignored during the hiring process.

Speaking of Cal's Jesus-phobia, I almost fired this one guy newly converted to Atheist-ism. He just wouldn't shut up.
I gave him a sermon from the mount and he got the word. To shut the fuck up.
I hate militant athiests amost as much as i hate most ex-smokers.
Well, the ex-smoker and the ex-religious both went through the trouble of giving up something that was bad for them, so it's only natural they'd want to hold themselves up as an example. But I suppose I do understand how it's not nice to have others point out how silly you are - especially, as with religion, if that is how you were brought up and you can't help it, so I'd never in any way be militant in my encounters with the religious (I actually have two friends who are religious and I have never brought the subject up with either of them). I do, however, reserve the right to silently think less of them for believing in stories for the children and the old.
A: Hi, I'm racist
B: Oh well I won't point out how "silly" you are as that's how you were brought up and you can't help it.
Quote from: GarbonA: Hi, I'm racist
B: Oh well I won't point out how "silly" you are as that's how you were brought up and you can't help it.
Well, I would take quarrel with racism, because to be racist is to be hurtful to others, while to be religious is merely to be hurtful to oneself, for the most part. But I suppose if someone keep their racism to themselves I'll have no quarrel with that either. People believe all kinds of things and it's not my job to set them straight.

Are you kidding me? Religious people are not hurtful to others? Most of the legislation that is hurtful to gays for example (opposition to gay marriage, opposition to anti-work-discrimination based on sexual orientation; opposition to anti-gay hate crime legislation; support for DADT) is rooted squarely in the religious views of the people. Same goes for rights of women etc.
And THAT's in countries that have, at least formally, a separation of the church and state. Can you seriously look at countries like Iran or Saudi Arabia and say that religion is not hurtful to others? :lol:
In fact, I'd say that in terms of legal oppressiveness, racism is in big retreat - after the apartheid in the South Africa has ended, I don't think there are many countries that actually espouse a legal form of discrimination based on racism. However, countless countries persecute people because of religion or the religious views of the majority.
Right. OK, maybe I phrased that poorly. It was meant in the context of whether I'd be militant in an encounter with a religious person. I'd prefer not to be, since as long as they keep it to themselves, that's their business - while in an encounter with a racist their racism is not merely their own business, as it is something that affects others. Of course, if I encounter a religious person who does not keep his religion to himself, and talks of his hatred for gays, for example, then that's no different from the racist.

I don't know what middle school is, but I can't see how that'd make a difference. I routinely saw naked women on beaches, pools or TV when I was a pre-teen and a teen (especially after Berlusconi entered the TV market here). I guess what I don't get is the nudity = bad thing. Unless we're talking about fatties, of course.
As for alcohol, I grew up in a society where there was a bar every few meters of sidewalk, in which everyone drank quite a bit in weddings, dinners and such in front of kids and teens gathered on the streets to get wasted every weekend. I doubt seeing a couple pics of a teacher hugging the bottle would have made that much of an impact.

Such teachers earn more respect actually in my experience.
They're "down with the kids" and real people.
On hot teachers: that was always a case of internet standards in reverse that I recall.
Any woman under 30 and who was of a acceptable BMI level seemed to be classed as 'hot'.

Yeah I have spent alot of time at Universities and met alot of athiests and none of them really seem to fit this stereotype. You basically are just describing a young person who thinks they know everything, which could work for any subject. I have a hard time imagining somebody how is as consumed by Atheism as a religious fundamentalist is devoted to theism. I mean unless they started attending atheists meetings at least once a week and started carrying out alot of atheist rituals and made sure they always let you know they hold a particular opinion solely because of their atheism.

claim that their views are rooted in their religious views, I'll bet you will find non-bigoted people in those same congregations, professing the same religious beliefs.
You, for instance, are bigoted against the religious, and this is not based on any religious view I have ever heard you trot out.
