Who can you trust? (1 Viewer)

[7 - No tomorrow]

Incidentally I am now stalking your responses on Gawker. You gave me that knowledge YOU FOOL

You know my name on there?

Well done. Didn't know I was that obvious about what it was.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Not quite. I think people treat you differently based on what they know about you. Power might be too strong a word.

Like I had this girl ask me about my dating status, which I said I was taking a break from the whole thing. Then later I decided to join an online dating yoke. She sees me on there and goes ballistic with me about being dishonest. Like who fecking needs that?

Oh yeah, for sure.

Heidegger (who I don't pretend to HALF understand BTW) has a whole thing about this, basically saying in a very round-about way that people don't even exist on their own, all that exists is their relationship with each other. Like, the relationship is all there is -that action - it's not between two separate objects. It's all high falutin fun.

No one, what is her deal? Is she new to people? "I changed my mind"

Lot of likes dished out on this thread. @Jill Hives when did you get so wise?

btw it's a pretty vague question @7 - No tomorrow Trust to do what? Keep a secret? Not judge you?

I guess both.
I was just ruminating on a somewhat minor issue and started to wonder who could keep a secret on something if it was a big deal.

I suppose I want some kind of Snapchat friend.
Maybe I should drive two towns over and find a bartender.

 

[rettucs]

does anyone here think they'd be the kind of person who could keep a secret or something they were asked not to relay onwards?

I reckon I am anyway. (*)

* might post about it on thumped but that doesnt count

Information is power. Telling someone something about yourself is to give them power over you.

Only confide your secrets to someone you have worse dirt on.

 

[Jill Hives]

As if a bartender wouldn't bring it up again?
People relate to people based on what they know about one another.
I bring stuff up people told me the next time they come in because it shows I remember them and makes a connection.
I'd say a prostitute is your best bet.

I'd never see the bartender again. He's two towns over.

 

[Jill Hives]

I'd never see the bartender again.

Now I'm dying to know what you need to get off your chest so much.
Visit my bar and never come back.

It's really nothing. I got to think about my diabetes buddy and stood-up friend though and started thinking.

You could have confessional Tuesdays at your place.
Penance could be two Smithwicks and a double Bushmills or whatever you needed to shift.
The confession box for sale in Wexford has tickled Twitter | BreakingNews.ie

Do you really not have any friend you can trust?

"This is a secret, do not tell anyone (well OK your other half is a given)."

People aren't so bad...

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

(well OK your other half is a given)

That's like having a bathtub with a screen door in it.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I don't think it'd be cool to put someone in a situation where they can't tell their husband/wife/whatever. I dunno, I don't really keep friends who think it's ok to hang someone over a cliff with their secrets.

Agreed.

I suppose that's an argument connected to the notion that given there is only a certain amount of matter in the universe, and that it has always existed, and what makes us will eventually make something else then we are not really just ourselves, we're everything.

She was interested and took it as a deceptive and cowardly rejection?
