can someone clue me in here, i'm missing the meme

Oh please, you know full well that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t lull himself.

that's epstein? i thought it was a play on the israel thing aiot posted

He did end the Gates's marriage though

You still in Castletown?

This guy knows his stuff!

Huh? No.

castletown = american slang for europe

Ah, makes sense. We do have a lot of castles.

How do you get a person to leave you alone? How do you get them to understand that you aren’t interested in being best man at their wedding? That you’re not even interested in going to their wedding. Preferably without actually using those words.

I would just ghost, but obviously it’s pretty impossible to ghost in such a small place, and I feel like ghosting is a scum move.

dude, that makes me super sad that someone views you as so important to their life that they want you to be the best man and you don't even like the person

i'd take one for the team, put on an act and go through with it giving him the best man you can give, he'll be too busy making babies to bother you too much going forward

I understand. Here’s my counter, it’s his wedding, he’ll have 200 guests there, he’ll be far too busy to care about if I’m there. Now I know basically none of those 200 people, and after 18 years of “friendship” I feel like he should know my deal. He should know it’s my idea of hell. So he’s basically trying to guilt me in to going.

To the best of my I knowledge I’ve never tried to guilt or manipulate somebody in to doing something they really don’t want to do. So why can he do it to me?

fair enough, i'm not judging your decision and i'm sorry if it came off that way

i'm just saying that i personally would be absolutely devastated if i discovered the person i viewed as my best friend never really liked me

I would hope that you like your friend for who he, and you wouldn’t be so self involved as to not have a clue how your friend feels.

Thing is, he moved away for like four years, and he seems to have forgot who I am. Now he’s back and he’s making all these pipe dream plans in his head and including me, with no regard for what I actually think.

Like, if you’re terrified of rollercoasters, if I planned a trip to a theme park and booked you in all the rollercoasters and then said “if you don’t go on them you’re not my friend” you might consider that a dick move.

oh so you are his friend still? it's not being "his best man" that's the issue it's "being at a wedding"

maybe this is operation get dabs laid, perhaps the wedding was entirely for that one purpose of getting you out and socializing?

anyway, i'm just saying, if i were to get married and my friend was super shy/hated things like weddings i too would expect him to at least attend my wedding if not be my best man as well

not judging, don't have full picture, but i personally would take one for the team

have you considered ketamine? just load yourself up with that horse tranq and k-hole through it and you won't even know you were even at a wedding

That’s all good, and I’d consider you a bad friend for attempting to force me to do something. Especially when I’d never force you to do something.

Just different definitions of friendship, I guess.

Daz,

Friends do things for friends they don't want to all the time.

Do you think people actually want to help someone move, paint a house, be a wingman and go out with the ugly girl or <fill in blank>?

You do it because you are their friend and it's unselfish.

Then I guess I’m selfish.

I’ve helped friends move more times than I can count. I’ve helped people redo their gardens, paint their houses etc etc. I’ve lent friends, this particular friend in fact, large sums of money, some of which was never paid back. I’ve always been there to listen to them when they need to vent their problems.

They ask me to do something that is miles and miles outside of my well define boundaries, and I’m the selfish bad guy.

I guess I just don’t get friendship.

we'll always love you and your perky titted avatar dabs

would make the best man speech a lot more memorable for the guests
