I've got two, namely

That Doom feature in Wax Poetics was interesting. He was all like, "I'm just a regular guy

which I thought was too boring to post, and

GOD CUTTY WHY DON'T YOU QUIT

which was supposed to be a funny post on the lose weight thread, but I thought it might be interpreted as serious.

I was gonna post on the '"500 Days of Summer" thread that I thought it would make a good back story for Cobra Commander, but I didn't feel like searching for the thread, coz what if someone already made the comment?

I don't know? It's got a woman in the title, but it's two years old and the reads are on-site reads. It doesn't make sense. The simpsons porn one only partly makes sense, but a lot of those reads are site reads too. Wait, I get that one, because it persists because of the most read threads page working in concert with google hits. But the other one with the girl I just don't get, unless it's a lesser version of the same phenomenon.

I'M SAD REVIVE #34

summary because it was half an hour ago:

I'm sad dudes, again
Had a great trip to Chicago last week, saw all my old friends, remembered that I used to have friends
Back at work, hall conversation: "You're not smiling anymore, now you're not new anymore lol" me: :(
attempt to lighten up I'M SAD REVIVE #34 with second anecdote that was pretty funny, I thought, but it involved a bathroom story with (a lot of) poop and fartz, which is a kinda touchy subject nowadays so I left it alone
keep having childish thoughts about running away and living in the woods/another country/on the beach/working as drunken depressed cook in Antarctica research lab

I dunno, I've always had a good 15-20% of my posts that I delete before I post because they're just stupid, but lately it's probably up to the 50% range. So next time I post something ridiculous, remember that it could be waaaaay worse

Walter Melon (Abbott), Thursday, 29 April 2010 02:51 (fifteen years ago)

Given all the Ralph business, I considered a parody/parallel poll:

- Ralph literally believes that Ms. Hoover is his mother
- Ralph calls Ms. Hoover "mommy" because he has trouble distinguishing his personal family life from his public social life
- Ralph's use of the term "mommy" witnesses a parapraxis in which Ms. Hoover, her role as a teacher standing as that of an ersatz maternal figure for Ralph, is transposed with a conception of his mother in that her ability to provide him milk echoes a maternal desire in part established by the pleasure first derived in infancy from being breastfed. For Ralph, who evidences a difficulty in intellectually and emotionally developing beyond an infantile state, Ms. Hoover is "mommy" insofar as she hold the promise of delivering the milk he desires.

Unfortunately the last point, though I myself would totally vote for it, wouldn't fit as a poll option.

in so far as she can

Tonight I Dine on Turtle Soup (EDB), Thursday, 29 April 2010 03:07 (fifteen years ago)

Also, I wanted to post that Ralph sucks, he was the very first character to delve into the sort of cheap, empty gag-dom that took over in later seasons. He was perhaps the first that stopped being a character and became an easy, prepackaged stereotype that frankly, isn't funny.

But I know everyone would take this as challops, etc.

Tonight I Dine on Turtle Soup (EDB), Thursday, 29 April 2010 03:10 (fifteen years ago)

I had third thoughts about posting an elaboration on that point, but then had fourth thoughts, so I'll post it here:

The general notion of ralph's problems with language and his proclivity for fantasy is generally OTM.

Consider when Ralph says to Ms. Hoover, "can you open my milk, mommy?"
Given his cognitive impairments, this may be evidence of an inability to differentiate personal and public lives, insofar as figures do not become fixed in their signification, rather existing according to the scattered logic of the fantastical mind of an individual who has trouble moving beyond an infantile state. Here, Ms. Hoover, in her role as a teacher-qua-ersatz maternal figure, is for Ralph transposed with a conception of his mother in that her ability to provide him milk echoes a maternal desire in part established by the pleasure first derived in infancy from being breastfed. She is "mommy" insofar as she holds the promise of delivering the milk he desires, thereby revealing what, on one hand might be an instance of parapraxis, but on the other hand, might indicate a deeper lack of rooting in symbolic reality. Ralph's readiness to assume the role of a viking - an ideal figure he fantasmatically identifies with - indicates his stance in regard to a life led according to desires evidently detached from reality.

Perhaps, then, Ralph is in fact more a viking than he is a boy.

You know why you shouldn't use the word "rape" quite so casually?

It's not that you are going to cause some mysterious ineffable airborne "offense".

But because, if you are in a group of four or more people, given that the statistics are, that one in four women in their lives will or has been raped, the chances are, that one of those people is going to step back and think "wow, thank you for just totally trivialising this awful and horrible and possibly violent sexual assault that I went through, by comparing it to, like, a bad haircut or a strenuous workout. That makes me feel really great inside, and chances are actually quite good that talking about the event in such a casual manner, and dismissing my experiences in that way has a really good probability that I'm going to be blindsided into spending the rest of the afternoon in a really unpleasant and unhappy place, mentally, and bringing up a whole host of stuff I really didn't want to think about, or maybe I would have like to have been prepared to think about."

It's not that the trivial use of the word "rape" is somehow mysteriously *responsible* for more rapes occuring (though I would say it's linked to a rise in general misogyny or general backlash acceptance of misogyny - and actually this is linked both to incidence of rape, and how rape is reported and handled) it's that it makes some of us feel really seriously quite awful in a way that you can't really compare to a bad haircut or a strenuous test.

And maybe you should think about that, before you assert that your right to use language in whatever way you see fit regardless of however "offensively" other people you take it, is more important than the right for one in four women or whatever to feel, you know, comfortable in their own skins. Because your mileage may *considerably* vary and you might like to think before you speak and be, you know, just a generally better and more sensitive human being?

If you don't break up valis you might as well add radio free albemuth (or whatever it's called). Dick is full of shit; he just took speed and wrote. At the end of his life he really believed a pink ray from God had implanted information about his son into his brain, and his writing dwelled on certain themes, and maybe he took to writing the same book four times in a row, but VALIS itself is culled from the exegesis directly, right? and it's the best, densest, riffiest book of the three, and so I don't want to give my vote to the other two inadvertently. Started that sentence one place and there was not much logic in getting to the end of it. Phone writing shrug.

typical mainstream ilx. if two white women did the same thing to a black woman, this shit would get its own clusterfuck thread and not some nalf-assed revive? where's u s steel now? where's geir hongro now? where's Ned Raggett having a beer with the perpetrator and calling it a teachable moment? all the black talking heads are crying for blood when one of their own gets a paper cut, but when there's a real race war brewing, they're nowhere to be found. awfully convenient, huh?

Maybe - I still think they are a trend because of the appearance/aesthetic - but would you agree that you'd have to be aware of the form-fittingness if you were wearing them? Again, I haven't worn a lot of these things myself. (i'm male btw)

Milk toast's soft blandness served as inspiration for the name of the timid and ineffectual comic strip character Caspar Milquetoast, drawn by H. T. Webster from 1924 to 1952.[7] Thus, the term "milquetoast" entered the language as the label for a timid, shrinking, apologetic person.

How to deal with people who wear unflattering outfits

Realise all aesthetic choices are subjective.
Realise that they might think they look sexy as fuck.
Remove yourself from the vicinity until you’ve learned to get over your fatphobia/transphobia/misogyny/racism or combination of those.
Look back at them with refreshed eyes and realize how sexy they look.

deems wasn't saying music was bad in that thread, he was saying it was....fine, on its limited terms, but not all that, kind of overrated really, just passive aggressively needling the storied and controversial artform of music until it could finally supply the sunny and quirky california guitar pop that would satiate his every need

we had a declawed cat when i was a kid in the 70's and i loved that cat and that cat would DESTROY other cats at night. because the other cats would just do that lame not-so-serious crying and batting their paws fighting thing but our cat overcompensated with teeth. so, other cats mostly stayed away from him. he was the best hunter though. rabbits, snakes, woodchucks, everything and anything on our front doorstep. so, i think it really does do something psychologically to a cat. they want to prove their badass catness even more when you take their awesome claws away.

this post

and having lived in Germany and throughout the UK, i find it impossible to like southerners in person. yes, some of southern fairies on here seem nice and friendly, but and I say this as currently living in the souff since 6 weeks, I have yet to meet a friendly person.

I find this sad, considering northern english seem quite the opposite.

Am I just being unlucky???

Montreal Metro high quality? I don't think so.

It's a rip off of the paris metro's rubber tired trains and the trains themselves are pretty bog stock horrible with no heating and no air con, only ventilation.

The stations are interesting to a point, but still filthy, overcrowded and full of rude Montrealians. It's cheap, nasty and gross.

The first time I used the Montreal Metro was way back in 1990 when I stayed near friends who lived near Assomption on the green Angrignon line. (Close to the old Olympic stadium) And whilst I had not been to Paris yet, the french culture in Quebec astounded me with it's hatred of anything English.

Back then I was only 20 and my husband of the time and I were doing a two month trip of North America. We cut short our Canada tour because of the awful people (who thought we were from the UK as we didn't have slang accents) and fled Montreal and drove down to NYC. Best thing I ever did.

I went back to visit friends in Montreal a couple of years back and nothing has changed, it's a dirty depressing place with miserable people who still want to seceed from Canada. Toronto on the other hand is an amaazing place.

The french of Quebec are some of the most unfriendly people on the planet, I found true Parisians and the French to be far nicer and accommodating.

Montreal = blech

That's a fair point. I know I'm gonna get in hot water for suggesting this post, but arguably gold chains etc aren't necessarily specific to black working class cultures any more and haven't been for quite a few decades. i don't like this song. i think lily allen's attempt at parody and cutting social commentary is weak, massively misguided and really rather insensitive, especially when put under the scrutiny of a line by line/shot by shot dissection. as a send-up of pop and consumerist culture it forgets a number of things and winds up as straight-up hypocrisy. but it also concerns me that people are willing to call her an out-and-out racist/sexist etc because of an ill-advised and poorly-executed attempt to take the piss out of pop / fashion as well as those who exploit it. disregarding allen's back-story (and her historical spat with azealia banks, which i only found out about yesterday and is completely indefensible), it's a massively ill-thought-out bit of work especially for a comeback single and i agree with a huge number of points made. but there's also an element of hysteria surrounding this, much of which involves analysing this video/song in microscopic detail and branding it outwardly and intentionally offensive. i would say that it's simply a failure. it fails on every level in what it's trying to do. it's a crap song for a start. the lyrics are sub-comedic and just plain dumb. the video might be taking the piss out of thicke, cyrus et al but only by replicating and exaggerating exactly what happened in those videos thus nullifying any social commentary it sets out to make. the whole thing is awful, but i believe it is trying to make a wider point. it's just a shame that that point is lost, almost entirely because of how badly executed it is and how easy it is for internet pundits to tear it to pieces and show it up for how unintentionally insensitive the results are. still, i don't believe it wasn't made with good intentions somehow, i just think they got lost along the way.

from time to time i come across paranoid conspiracy theory evangelism "in the wild", without looking for it (i try not to). 2 memorable times: the day of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting , in the evening i googled keywords to know what was up and the second result was , i presume, hijacked to link to some of that crazy paranoid shit . i was double offended , don't think it was a troll.

another time was during the occupy everything saga: there were video feeds on the internet at some locations and the one closer to me was manned by one of those NWO freaks who joined them as a voluntary, doing good work no doubt , but was playing paranoid conspiracy videos during the night, associating them with the "occupy brand" on the sly. also , that giant zeitgeist banner at the site... terrible. put me off showing up. funny bonus: i could read some chat that they thought i could't read (they banned me for criticing one of the video) and one of the guy was explaining to another how to "game the Occupy self-organized assemblies"; make it look like i am the one who did a transgression, therefore making it ok to ban me. didn't care then, don't care now but i should have screencapped and hey , it's worth looking into "in general"

oh yeah, there was that arizona senator who got shot by a conspiracist. idk. and there was that other thread about "free men on the land" shit. the damage caused by paranoid conspiracy theory evangelism is worth looking into, using a multidisciplinary approach and what not. i'm a bit drunk, and idk , i like the title of the thread but i really don't know what could be the best way to go at this: government effort via tv ads, shock humor to ruin those fantasies... that's all i got and ... for my own well being i think i will learn how mental health specialists deal with people with such delusions and use the same techniques; i just can't risk gettting in the face of one of those loons buzz aldrin style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wcrkxOgzhU and get banned in the usa or some sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

gelatinate mess (darraghmac), Monday, 27 January 2014 21:57 (eleven years ago)

this technically counts bc i considered posting it in the "Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!" thread but it didn't quite make sense.

but:

i only realized very recently that when people say "natch," they mean "naturally," and not "biznatch," which makes me feel incredibly stupid about how (mildly) judgemental I've been of people's various internet posts on the internet for the past 10 years.

WHY DID I THINK IT MEANT BIZNATCH?

In the one marked 'pop and rock' there was a solitary mp3 of Bobby Goldsboro singing Me Japanese Boy. I'd still trust his judgement on this more than I would yours.

Like, when we are talking about "David Bowie" we are not talking about "funny eyed bloke from South London" we are talking about "bisexual alien from planet of ruined dog-cities" or whatever character is telling the tale. (And that "give a man a mask and he will tell the truth" thing funnily makes the bisexual man-dogs somehow easier to relate to, in a way.)

My brother has been a fount of music misinformation my whole life. He told me Jean-Michel Jarre was soft techno--"I like hard techno," he said. Like what? "Like this," and he played Heavy D "Mood For Love". He told me Digital Underground was house music. He came home with a Future Sound of London CD and said "yeah I'm really into trance music, now"-- I guess that's not so far off? I was listening to James "Laid" and he said he didn't like them but he liked other Britpop bands, "like Republica."

The damage was basically irreparable I have no idea what anything is

Chevy Chase

waterbabies (waterface), Friday, 4 April 2014 13:14 (eleven years ago)

The humor in this comic comes from the irony of a deep philosophical musing on the nature of individuals sharing a private space in a public place, unknown to one another and separated by time. The graffiti text is juxtaposed with more common bathroom stall scrawlings - insults, slurs, and "(Name) was here."
The title text parodies one of the archetypical pieces of graffiti: "For a good time, call (phone number)", which indicates that the person reachable at that number is available for prostitution, casual sex, and/or phone sex. However, 'good' has been replaced with 'intriguing' time, implying that instead of sex the writer is offering witty and insightful conversation.

Mordy, Saturday, 3 May 2014 15:44 (eleven years ago)

We've got some young Karen people at the school I work at. I was escorting one to the college for a summer school program because he's just a little kid, small for his age and a year younger than the other people in his grade. He's in the 7th grade now and making lots of new friends and he's becoming really independent. He even practically had a girlfriend earlier this year, but she moved away, and he wouldn't admit to liking her anyway. She was a total cutie, though. So many people live at his house! All family. He tells me that at the refugee camp/town/settlement they lived at in Cambodia, nobody pays for their houses. They all just build them together, and then when somebody leaves, the family sells the house for some very small amount.

Worked with karen refugee families in my old housing job, four generations under one roof made them a tough sourcing issue but they were just a pleadure to deal with elsewise

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 4 May 2014 15:52 (eleven years ago)

my point being that you and 96% of ILX thinks they're far smarter than they truly are and rest of humanity but most importantly those who disagree with them are far stupider than they are. what a tool.

I mean don't bother to figure out why in this case someone might think there's been an overreaction or unfair criticism. you are smarter than they are and they are defending obvious racist scum; merely pat yourself on the back, affirm to those who are on your team that you have shot an arrow at evil, and bask in your glory.

nova ydal (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 26 May 2014 07:38 (eleven years ago)

I'm not sure that there is much equivalency between the misogyny of a man killing women on a shooting spree, and a man contradicting something a woman said or playing devil's advocate while they are having a conversation. However, my expressing this thought to some degree comprises a contradiction to what a woman has just said, indeed, it might be construed as playing the devil's advocate, so I find myself in a ticklish position here.

The death of Joseph Smith, Jr. on June 27, 1844, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement.
In 1851 and 1856, San Francisco Vigilance Movement sought to eliminate crime, an element of this movement focused on immigrants like the Sydney Ducks.[11]
Los Angeles and the surrounding counties had outbursts of vigilantism from the early 1850s as many of the criminals driven out of San Francisco and the Gold Country came into the less populated Southern California making the city and surrounding countryside a dangerous place for many years.[12]
In 1858 San Luis Obispo vigilantes ended the murderous reign of the bandit gang of Pío Linares on El Camino Real between San Luis and Santa Barbara.
In October 1862 in northern Texas, several Unionist sympathizers were arrested and taken to Gainesville, Texas for trial on charges of treason and insurrection. Seven were tried and hanged, and 14 were hanged without trial. A few weeks later, Unionist sympathizers were hanged without trial across northern Texas. Known as "The Great Hanging at Gainesville", it may have been the deadliest act of vigilante violence in U.S. history.[13]
From late December 1863 to 1864 the Montana Vigilantes were formed by citizens of Bannack, Virginia City and nearby Nevada City to fight lawlessness in the gold mining region of Montana. Over the next month, 21 men were hanged, including, on January 10, 1864, Henry Plummer the sheriff of Bannack, who was also the leader of a major gang of highwaymen. The last man hanged by the vigilantes may have done nothing more than express an opinion that several of those hanged previously had been innocent.
In 1865, the Ku Klux Klan was formed in Pulaski, Tennessee by a group of six Confederate War veterans. The KKK or "Klan" sought to use extralegal force to resist Reconstruction in the post Civil War South of the United States. The KKK became a leading agent of racist and nativist violence in the United States.
In 1868 between 60 and 70 vigilantes broke into the New Albany, Indiana jail and lynched three Reno Brothers.
In 1881, a mob lynched an outlaw who goes by the nickname of Big Nose George, who shot two local law enforcement officers years before. Big nose George was in prison awaiting execution at the time of his death.
Active in 1883–1889, the Bald Knobbers (or "Baldknobbers") were masked men who retaliated against invading marauders and drove out outlaws in Taney County.
In March 1898, the "101" of Skagway, Alaska posted handbills and held meetings trying to free the town of a bunco gang known as the "Soap Gang" under the control of the infamous Soapy Smith. Four months after its creation the 101 shot and killed Soapy in a shootout on Juneau Wharf.
20th century[edit]
Lynching was the most common form of vigilantism in the US in the 20th Century—it was practiced through the early years of the civil rights movement, extending through the late 1960s.
In the early 20th century, the White Finns founded the Suojeluskunta (Protection Corps) as a paramilitary vigilante organization in Finland. It formed the nucleus of the White Army in the Finnish Civil War.
In the 1920s, the Big Sword Society of China protected life and property in a state of anarchy.
After World War II, several alleged Nazi collaborators were beaten up or killed for their activities.
In 1954, the Thai Border Patrol Police formed the Volunteer Defense Corps (also called the Village Scouts Thai: ลูกเสือชาวบ้าน) to provide law and order and emergency or natural disaster response. In 1974 it was expanded by the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) to urban areas to fight left-wing political activism. The Village Scouts were subsequently involved in the Thammasat University massacre of 1976. Their 21st century Internet censorship vigilance groups are called ลูกเสือบนเครือข่ายอินเทอร์เน็ต or cyber scouts.[14]
During the Troubles in Northern Ireland late 1960s-98, the Provisional Irish Republican Army and Irish National Liberation Army were known to administer punishment beatings and kill any suspected criminal or drug dealer in order to deter crime.
The Guardian Angels organization was founded February 13, 1979 in New York City by Curtis Sliwa and has chapters in 15 countries and 144 cities around the world.
Recognized since the 1980s, Sombra Negra or "Black Shadow" of El Salvador is a group of mostly retired police officers and military personnel whose sole duty is to cleanse the country of "impure" social elements by killing criminals and gang members. Along with several other organizations, Sombra Negra are a remnant of the death squads from the civil war of the 1970s and 1980s.[15]
In 1981, a resident of the rural town Skidmore, Missouri fatally shot town bully Ken McElroy in broad daylight after years of crimes without any punishment. Forty five people witnessed the shooting, but everybody kept quiet when it came time to identify the shooter.
In 1984, Bernhard Goetz was approached on a New York City subway train by four men intent on mugging him. He shot all four and fled, earning him the media appellation "the subway vigilante".
In 1985 the formation of Anti-Fascist Action groups throughout Britain came about whose goal was to combat the issue of neo-fascism.[16]
During the 1990s, the group City without Drugs publicly beat and brutalized drug dealers and forced addicts to go cold turkey in the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia.
Formed since 1996, the People Against Gangsterism and Drugs of Cape Town, South Africa fights drugs and gangsterism in their region. They have been linked to terrorism since they bombed some American targets in Cape Town.
Formed since 1998, the Bakassi Boys of Nigeria were viewed as instrumental in lowering the region's high crime when police were ineffective.
Formed in 1996, Mapogo a Mathamaga of South Africa provides protection for paying members of this group. Leaders have been charged with murder, etc.
Los Pepes was a shadowy group formed in Colombia during the 1990s that committed acts of vigilantism against drug lord Pablo Escobar and his associates within the Medellin Cartel.
21st century[edit]
Current vice mayor of Davao City, Philippines Rodrigo Duterte is noted for transforming the city from the murder capital of the nation[17] to what tourism organizations there now call "the most peaceful city in Southeast Asia".[17] He's been suspected of being involved with the vigilante outfit Davao Death Squad and has been criticized by human rights groups and by Amnesty International for tolerating extrajudicial killings of alleged criminals. Time magazine has dubbed him "The Punisher".[17]
Formed in 2000, Ranch Rescue is still a functioning organization in the southwest United States. Ranchers call upon Ranch Rescue to forcibly remove illegal aliens and squatters off of their property.
In the early decade of the 2000s, after the September 11 attacks, Jonathan Idema, a self-proclaimed vigilante, entered Afghanistan and captured many people he claimed to be terrorists. Idema claimed he was collaborating with, and supported by, the United States Government. He even sold news-media outlets tapes that he claimed showed an Al Qaeda training camp in action. His operations ended abruptly when he was arrested with his partners in 2004 and sentenced to 10 years in a notorious Afghan prison, before being pardoned in 2007.
Formed in 2002, the Revolutionary Front is a Swedish anti-fascist organization. Members have been known to orchestrate attacks against known/suspected Neo-nazi/nationalist individuals. The attacks usually involve damaging property, or even attacking the person themselves.[18]
Operating since 2002, perverted-justice.com opponents have accused the website of being modern day cyber vigilantes.
The Minuteman Project has been described as vigilantes dedicated to expelling people who cross the US-Mexico border illegally.[19][20]
Salwa Judum, the anti-Naxalite group formed in 2005, in India, is also considered by many as a vigilante group and its policies are suspected to be helping the security forces in their fight against Naxals.
In Hampshire, England, during 2006, a vigilante slashed the tires of more than twenty cars, leaving a note made from cut-out newsprint stating "Warning: you have been seen while using your mobile phone".[21] Driving whilst using a mobile is a criminal offense in the UK, but critics feel the law is little observed or enforced.[22][23][24]
Irish National Liberation Army (INLA), an Irish republican socialist paramilitary group, maintains a presence in parts of Northern Ireland and has carried out punishment beatings on local alleged petty criminals.[25] In 2006, the INLA claimed to have put at least two drugs gangs out of business in Northern Ireland. After their raid on a criminal organization based in the north-west, they released a statement saying that "the Irish National Liberation Army will not allow the working class people of this city to be used as cannon fodder by these criminals whose only concern is profit by whatever means available to them."[26][27] On 15 February 2009 the INLA claimed responsibility for the shooting dead of Derry drug-dealer Jim McConnell.[28] On 19 August 2009 the INLA shot and wounded a man in Derry. The INLA claimed that the man was involved in drug dealing although the injured man and his family denied the allegation.[29] However, in a newspaper article on 28 August the victim retracted his previous statement and admitted that he had been involved in small scale drug-dealing but has since ceased these activities.[30]
Other Irish republican paramilitary organizations have served and continue to serve as vigilantes. Óglaigh na hÉireann for example in 2011 claimed responsibility for an arson attack on a taxi depot on Oldpark Road, Belfast, which led to the owners fleeing the country. It claimed that the owners were using the depot as a cover for drug dealing.[31] In 2010 The Real Irish Republican Army shot a man in the legs in Derry. The man was a convicted sex offender.[32] The Continuity Irish Republican Army in 2011 were blamed for the punishment beating of a heroin dealer in Clondalkin, Dublin, the man had previously been ordered to leave the country.[33]
Republican Action Against Drugs or RAAD are an Irish Republican vigilante organization active predominantly in and around Derry. Although often attributed as being a front for "Dissident Republican" groups by the media, the organization claim to have no allegiance to any particular Republican party or paramilitary. Formed in late 2008 RAAD originally offered an "amnesty" to all drug dealers, asking them to make themselves known to the group before giving an assurance that they had stopped dealing.[34] In an interview with the Derry Journal in August 2009, the group's leadership explained: "We would monitor the actions of those who have come forward and, given an adequate period of time, interest in those drug dealers would cease and they could start to lead normal lives".[34] Since then RAAD have claimed responsibility for no less than 17 shootings as well as countless pipe bomb attacks (see Republican Action Against Drugs#Timeline).
In October 2011 on the United States, a vigilante operating in Seattle, named Phoenix Jones was arrested and forced to reveal his true identity, after a confrontation with two groups who were fighting.
On April 15, 2011 a group of women in Cherán armed with rocks and fireworks attacked a bus carrying illegal loggers armed with machine guns in Michoacán associated with the Mexican drug cartel La Familia Michoacana. They assumed control over the town, expelled the police force and blocked roads leading to oak timber on a nearby mountain. Vigilante activity has spread to the nearby community of Opopeo. The government of Mexico has recognized Cherán as a self-governing indigenous community, but criminals continue to murder residents in the forest.[35]
On August 2, 2012 Aleksandr Tkachev governor of Russia's Krasnodar Krai announced plans to deploy a paramilitary force of Cossacks in September, 2012 whose mission would be to discourage illegal internal migration. In a speech to police he stated, "What you can't do, the Cossacks can. We have no other way — we shall stamp it out, instill order; we shall demand paperwork and enforce migration policies."[36] like watch dogs
On June 13, 2014, Darius, a 16-years-old Rom residing in France and who has been several times interrogated by the police on the account of suspected burglaries and larcenies, has been kidnapped, beaten up and then left in a supermarket trolley by an unknown party after rumors on him being implicated in an housebreaking which happened several hours before circulated in the city of Pierrefite-sur-Seine.[37]
On May 31st 2014, the game Watchdogs came out. in which the main character, Aiden Pearce, is often referred to as the "vigilante" by many citizens and the law enforcement, who do not approve of his actions.

The Rolling Stones. To me they are no more than just overrated jerks who write melodically dead emotionally dry music. The most overrated band I know of, actually. The Rolling Stones receive way too much praise and credit for everything from influence to the quality of their hooks. I'd give them a one at best. That said, there are a bunch of Stones songs that I do like (even a couple that I love) and I can easily say Beggar's Banquet is a really good album, but for the most part they really leave me cold.

1. Walking by the house of annoying loser alcoholic shouting dog-abusing useless cunt of a neighbour
2. Noticing yet another bailiff envelope half sticking out his post box (there have been a lot of bailiffs looking for him recently. I hear he's in but hides when they're around)
3. Thoughts racing: it's half sticking out. He ain't home. What if I take the envelope, burn it or throw it away, so it might get him evicted or locked up or whatever the fuck could get him off my case invading my privacy and sanity every single fucking day?
4. Take the bailiff letter and be a vile motherfucker? Or let it be?

afaik in england if there is a possession claim then the bank can legally occupy it but if the person is there any attempt to do so will likely lead to a breach of criminal law so the bailiffs will try to wait until it is empty

Same here. It would have to go to court first yadda yadda we're a year further down the road.

matt p otm, and the effect of reflexively talking that way seems to be to displace a legitimate space in which the evocative, the intense, the sensual, the imaginative have some relevance to the music, over into a lawless nattering land where any impression stands on its own because no one ever expects that the impressions should have something intelligible to do with the actual music, as opposed to cartoonish little sci-fi filmlets and fragments of descriptive phraseology (13 difft ways of hearing a clank) that pop into one's head for lack of any other way to put the music to words

j., Friday, 3 October 2014 00:47 (ten years ago)

did u read my long post abt 6ie.cr? if not then do, then tell me i've displaced a legitimate space where the music and the evocative have no direct relationship. everyone posting in that thread is to an extent a synaesthete, as are both members of autechre, so let's not get too precious. it's lazy shorthand for 'this makes me see/imagine/taste things not implicitly connected to the sound', and sure we shd combat lazy shorthand, and sure i won't use the word again unironically in that thread, but i don't use it wantonly. if you want i cd say exactly how some of these trax trigger a synaesthetic effect? or yeah i cd discuss the music, its building swirling cascading sonic-cathedral magnificence, in what passes for detail.

Not saying white liberals are going to have some kind of perfect, saintly views on race, just think it would be a little more interesting to hear other segments of white people. It seems like choosing Buffalo is a good way to avoid getting those types, leaving you with this "authentic rust belt white folks" picture.

The Rolling Stones. To me they are no more than just overrated jerks who write melodically dead emotionally dry music. The most overrated band I know of, actually. The Rolling Stones receive way too much praise and credit for everything from influence to the quality of their hooks. I'd give them a one at best. That said, there are a bunch of Stones songs that I do like (even a couple that I love) and I can easily say Beggar's Banquet is a really good album, but for the most part they really leave me cold. Sorry, this is just how I feel.

The thing is I can't disagree with a lot of the points people are making, I just feel like the internet creates such a shitstorm around anything not 100% pure. Like basically the video strikes me as an effective way of getting across a point about a kind of harassment that, fwiw, is not only suffered by white women, but everything just gets hijacked and clusterfucked to death if it fails any test. And I have a problem ideologically with the idea that a "privileged white woman" should just stfu about being harassed and intimidated on the street if it happens to come more often from black or latino men, which is really the tone of a lot of stuff I have read about this.

obviously most white people are not out there in the trenches saying "that one's gotta go, time to jack up the rent" but that doesn't mean you can't be complicit in a social order that produces those outcomes; this is why the "malicious intent" argument holds so little water

― Vomits of a Missionary (bernard snowy), Friday, October 31, 2014 12:14 PM Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Yeah but I have read more than one person arguing that this guy literally made the video to push some kind of gentrifier/anti-minority agenda. Honestly a lot of the other internet discussions I've been involved in about this included a lot of women both white and non-white saying they've experienced far worse harassment on the street - intimidation, following, threats, etc, that the video just scratches the surface, and I think it honestly kind of fucking sucks that people are hijacking a basically effective video to do what to me sounds like "I'm such a good grad student"-level race analysis (parallels to colonial America!). Like yes, point out the racial issues, point out that the video seems to focus on minority men, but don't use that to guilt women who are complaining about being harassed to shut up, and that's really what I feel like this is turning into.

Political righteousness is not immunization against being an asshole; political wrongheadedness is not a guarantee that you are an asshole. The goal is to be righteous and decent. The question of what constitutes "decent" is absolutely going to be one fraught with questions of culture and privilege, but self-obsessed messianic brattiness cuts across all class, race, and gender lines.

Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Factórem cæli et terræ, Visibílium ómnium et invisibílium. Et in unum Dóminum Iesum Christum, Fílium Dei Unigénitum, Et ex Patre natum ante ómnia sæcula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine, Deum verum de Deo vero, Génitum, non factum, consubstantiálem Patri: Per quem ómnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos hómines et propter nostram salútem Descéndit de cælis. Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sancto Ex María Vírgine, et homo factus est. Crucifíxus étiam pro nobis sub Póntio Piláto; Passus, et sepúltus est, Et resurréxit tértia die, secúndum Scriptúras, Et ascéndit in cælum, sedet ad déxteram Patris. Et íterum ventúrus est cum glória, Iudicáre vivos et mórtuos, Cuius regni non erit finis. Et in Spíritum Sanctum, Dóminum et vivificántem: Qui ex Patre Filióque procédit. Qui cum Patre et Fílio simul adorátur et conglorificátur: Qui locútus est per prophétas. Et unam, sanctam, cathólicam et apostólicam Ecclésiam. Confíteor unum baptísma in remissiónem peccatorum. Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum, Et vitam ventúri sæculi. Amen.

FACT calls it "a record of painterly fragments and peeling edges, wheezing synths and--the real surprise--Latham's own voice half-buried in the mix... one of the most dramatic and fully-realized metamorphoses you could imagine from a musician only on his second album."

wd like to do a thread looking at the tropes used and some of the "emotional" expectations expressed on all these polls but tbh it'd probly look a lot like mean-spirited meta so i'll just leave it and express a kind of wry bemusement coupled with enjoyment that humans are very very different to each other over in the second thought thread instead

Noodle Vague, Sunday, 12 April 2015 08:15 (ten years ago)

on facebook, not ilx

"When Bill Clinton was president he passed something called the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, bragging at the time that it would "end welfare as we have come to know it." In Hillary Clinton's 2003 book, "Living History" she boasted that she and Bill had caused welfare rolls to "drop 60 percent" but poverty didn't decrease during this time. This bill, like every conservative austerity measure, mostly hurt women and children.

Recently Hillary Clinton gave a glowing review to Henry Kissinger's book. She mentions that he is a "friend" and that she "relies on his counsel." Kissinger spearheaded the United States' undermining of Chile's democratic government in 1970. He encouraged the CIA to promote a coup, which put the dictator Augusto Pinochet in power. This is just one of the awful things he did. It's hard to find anything positive about his legacy.

Every national politician is compromised. I like Obama, but I could point to a bunch of awful things he was complicit in. It's fine to vote for Hillary Clinton as an alternative to whoever the awful right wing candidate is going to be, but I think it's a mistake to pretend that she or her husband have ever been progressives. Bill Clinton was basically a conservative."

Is this the Region, this the Soil, the Clime,
Said then the lost Arch-Angel, this the seat
That we must change for Heav’n, this mournful gloom
For that celestial light? Be it so, since he
Who now is Sovran can dispose and bid
What shall be right: fardest from him is best
Whom reason hath equald, force hath made supream
Above his equals. Farewel happy Fields
Where Joy for ever dwells: Hail horrours, hail
Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell
Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings
A mind not to be chang’d by Place or Time.
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n.
What matter where, if I be still the same,
And what I should be, all but less then he
Whom Thunder hath made greater? Here at least
We shall be free; th’ Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure, and in my choyce
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav’n.
But wherefore let we then our faithful friends,
Th’ associates and copartners of our loss
Lye thus astonisht on th’ oblivious Pool,
And call them not to share with us their part
In this unhappy Mansion, or once more
With rallied Arms to try what may be yet
Regaind in Heav’n, or what more lost in Hell?

I ain't nothing but tired

Personally i was trying to join in on the conversation and bring what I know about feminism, which is mostly relegated to a single book by Zillah Eisenstein. As for "my perspective Must Be Heard", this is a public message board I've been a member of for like a decade feel like I can share my opinion. Also a lifelong fan of this band so I feel like my perspective should be ok. Everyone's perspective should be heard as long as they are respectful.

LOL @ "total confidence in every situation" that does not describe me even tho i am a white cis man.

Just decided for the better to just not post a response at all since my presence as a male was making some uncomfortable and given the gravity of the issue at hand it's probably better for me to just listen rather than talk.

They had come to a stream which twisted and tumbled between high rocky banks, and Christopher Robin saw at once how dangerous it was.

"It's just the place," he explained, "for an Ambush."

"What sort of bush?" whispered Pooh to Piglet. "A gorse-bush?"

"My dear Pooh," said Owl in his superior way, "don't you know what an Ambush is?"

"Owl," said Piglet, looking round at him severely, "Pooh's whisper was a perfectly private whisper, and there was no need----"

"An Ambush," said Owl, "is a sort of Surprise."

"So is a gorse-bush sometimes," said Pooh.

"An Ambush, as I was about to explain to Pooh," said Piglet, "is a sort of Surprise."

"If people jump out at you suddenly, that's an Ambush," said Owl.

"It's an Ambush, Pooh, when people jump at you suddenly," explained Piglet.

Pooh, who now knew what an Ambush was, said that a gorse-bush had sprung at him suddenly one day when he fell off a tree, and he had taken six days to get all the prickles out of himself.

"We are not talking about gorse-bushes," said Owl a little crossly.

"I am," said Pooh.

I feel this way about every attempt to make differently abled athletes "inspiring." No, the fact that a guy who has 100% use of his arms, but not his legs, does wheelchair races, is not "inspiring." His arms work normally, and that's what you use to operate a wheelchair. Same with running with state-of-the-art artificial limbs. No more or less "inspiring" than other athletes. Is it inspiring when a person with glasses reads a book?

What is the most overrated, the weakest, or doesn't even belong on the list? Or, if you like all of the picks, what is just not the same caliber as the rest? You may choose more than one album.

If there isn't a clear outcome come Friday morning, the way to decide it would be to dispense with the frivolous historical protocols and have a bacon sandwich eating competition - quantity and etiquette, being the criteria. One without the other is unaesthetic.

Are you taking the biscuit here, how is this news without an explanation as to why he is eating a bacon butty, thankfully I am fully aware that ed tried a bacon sarny going against his religious beliefs to win votes, do we really want a man who is willing to forego his own religious beliefs just to win votes. A picture paints a thousand words and in this case the betrayal of his beliefs in a video paints those thousand words and more.

I think I'm right in saying ILX was set up by Belle & Sebastian fans, so I'm assuming snark was a fairly rare commodity early on.

tbh I think snark peaked around 2007-2009 and it's been a lot less mean since then but maybe I'm reading the wrong threads.

Unless you're referring to this thread I guess

I think that reading this thread and assuming that ilx was less snarky when the same comments were just posted would be a strange outlook.

post actually about this thread:

it kinda bums me out when people use this thread for passive-aggressive posts obviously directed at another poster made at a time when they could actually engage in the primary discussion. Most of my posts here are generic/oblique, using this thread as a substitute "i don't know where to post this so I'm putting it here" posts, or total latepass responses to things from weeks/months/years ago that would be meaningless to post in the original thread because discussion has moved on.

On the other hand, it's noteworthy that we've been discussing sociocultural inequity when it comes to speech/communication/interactions, and at some points, it appears to me (at least) that this thread functions as a way to express things when one feels that inequity going on in a thread and being involved in it, is uncomfortable for some of the same reasons that "less privileged" feel uncomfortable in discussions with more privileged ppl.

I think it's funny you bring up race when you've aligned yourself with ilx's most egregious exotifiers, as if you can't, for example, find a family resemblance among the "definitive goon cru anthems" and see why the thread is a gross (not to mention narcissistic) project. I don't know what you'd find attractive about White savior race hucksters like Weingarten and deej, the former who is still bitching about tokenism in year end polls as if he's some kind of hero to the oppressed and the latter who makes almost daily anecdotal assertions in his blundering quest to convey his knowingness about Black culture, except that you align with their racially manichean view of the world.

And you were the guy who was grandstanding about the company that, even if it doesn't end up reducing overall transportation coverage to one star neighborhoods with one star, ie Black and Hispanic clients, will put immigrant poc cab drivers out of work in favor of their "sharing" economy White counterparts.

Dum-dum is a silly word. I used it in the singular on someone who missed my point utterly and mocked me sarcastically. I am sorry if you read dum-dum with a straight face -- I can't say it that way!

Yes, I use the word dum-dum all the time. It is a very very mild expression of derision, and is intended as such. Ya dum-dum. (The first two sentences are response, the third is the one I had second thoughts about and decided not to post.)

μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 8 December 2015 20:07 (nine years ago)

The delegates perceived dumdum bullets as having
similar effects to a projectile that carried explosive material. Debate centred
on whether such bullets “aggravate wounds and increase the suffering of the
wounded” and whether a bullet causing “such enormous ravages in the body,
its entrance being very small, but its exit very large” was “necessary.” The
British delegate agreed with their technical understanding of the effects of
the dumdum bullet, but argued that “there is a difference in war between
civilised nations and that against savages” and that the use of dumdum bullets
was justified against “the savage” who “although run through two or
three times, does not cease to advance”. This was seen by other members of
the Sub-Commission as being “contrary to the humanitarian spirit”. The
President of the Sub-Commission expressed “the opinion of the assembly in
saying that there can be no distinction established between projectiles permitted
and the projectiles prohibited according to the enemies against which
they fight even in the case of savages”.

Mark G, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 10:59 (nine years ago)

It's always jarring, that reminder that although you use the same words, you really don't speak the same language.

That when a man says "that person makes me uncomfortable" he thinks "ugh, that annoying guy in the office that is kinda irritating" but when a woman says "that person makes me uncomfortable" she means "I'm afraid that he will respond to a minor incident by following me to my car, or finding my home address and publishing it to Reddit or ..." And the awful resulting suspicion that when a white person says "that person makes me uncomfortable" they mean "that person makes me think things about myself I'd rather not have to confront" but when a black person says "that person makes me uncomfortable" they mean "I am afraid that person is gonna call cops who are likely to be heavily armed and ..."

But that's OK. It's just the word they don't like! Honest!

ppl take shots at u bc of how self regarding you are + lacking in self-awareness, desperate to argue points not even under debate, rushing to get yr contribution in when it's asinine bullshit even a young person of my world could see through. but it's ok, i understand that you're white.

Mordy, Monday, 18 January 2016 16:54 (nine years ago)

idk there are a fair number of ilxors with whom i dont have any of these problems and the collection of ppl who jump on my posts are some of my least fav posters so im not worried they think my contributions are bad but you never actually engage w/ what i'm saying so how am i supposed to know what you think except that you're a superior pos who thinks hes smarter than everyone he's talking to?

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 18 January 2016 17:01 (nine years ago)

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 18 January 2016 17:03 (nine years ago)

i really can't be arsed to search up yr old posts esp since i know you'll just try to suck me into another neverending deej argument. just look at anything you've ever posted and pretend someone else wrote them.

Mordy, Monday, 18 January 2016 17:07 (nine years ago)

i'm good. you & mattresslessness & "joan" are three posters who i don't mind disliking me or my 'posting style.' the whole default assumption that you're the smartest person in any given discussion is v offputting & its not like i haven't watched all three of you go in over your heads on subjects im well versed in on here ... im just not a dick about it nor do i think its possible or reasonable to expect a smart person to constantly project Authority in every discussion they partake in

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 18 January 2016 17:11 (nine years ago)

Gonna put my neck on the line Whiney, having basically sold you this dummy

I listened to this album twice and thought it was super dull, then comparing this impression to the slightly purple raptures on the thread - raptures I am often guilty of myself and am open to being called out on - gave rise to exasperation. The final straw before raising the alarm was a hilariously overwritten Crack Magazine review, far funnier than anything polled here.

But then this thread got made and sure I found it superficially funny and no I don't think Whiney is a bigot for it*, but it certainly takes things to a level I hadn't foreseen. Criticisms (mostly by linee) on the actual KAS thread are much more what I was hoping for.

I don't think snark and zinging should be excised from the ILM discourse - of course codes of oppression should be considered at each turn but this strikes me as a fairly straightforward attack on far-flung praise for something that isn't particularly mindblowing on a theoretical level. Which is curmudgeonly, sure, and which questions listener agency, sure, but isn't ILM rooted on questioning and challenging listener agency, as well as championing it?

Avant-garde electronica by women, poc, queers? Christ, there's loads out there, so much of it brilliant, so much of it amongst my favourite music of recent years. My suspicions about KAS aren't about attacking 'female-shaped' music, they're about challenging a discourse that is unrestrainedly boosting something I think is dull.

*I'm not a minority (mild aspie aside) so my opinion counts less but w/e

Also imago the issue wasn't whiney thinking the album was overrated, it was the public shaming method he used to make this point.

Treeship, Thursday, 7 April 2016 15:44 (nine years ago)

Yeah I just figured whiney was clowning the discrepancy between a little under the radar ambient synth record and the life-changing hyperbole surrounding it, but again I can't speak for his thread making intentions.

This was the most amusing aspect of the thread, the fact it was inspired (apparently) by LJ's reaction to someone's over-the-top praise for some album or other.

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Thursday, 7 April 2016 15:49 (nine years ago)

Whiney probably wouldn't mind a thread like "let's poll the only women in his top 75 of last year", but the mistake is thinking that b/c he personally likes clowning/bantz, everyone else would be up for their posts being held up and mocked.

The Defamation of Strickland Banks is the second studio album from English singer and rapper Plan B. It was released on 12 April 2010 by 679 Recordings. The album is a departure from the sound heard on Plan B's debut album Who Needs Actions When You Got Words, providing a showcase for the rapper's singing.[1] Lyrically the album's songs tell the fictitious tale of one Strickland Banks, a sharp-suited British soul singer who finds fame with bitter-sweet love songs like the album's opener "Love Goes Down", only to have it slip through his fingers when sent to prison for a crime he did not commit.[2]

It was just a stupid pun. Not intended to attack or criticise anything or anyone. It didn't have anything to do with any opinion I may or may not have about this. I see it offended enough of you to get it modded away, but (nevermind, this isn't worth it. I'm going to the "second thought about" thread. Some jokes don't work for everyone, I'll leave it at that.)

Daithi Bowsie (darraghmac), Tuesday, 17 May 2016 22:20 (nine years ago)

Nah, someone posts something here, it's got a potential feed, so I reply with some such response, only the original post that didn't get posted is actually some snark pointed at someone, and the funny response I add is somehow inappropriate, or it would be on the original posting's potential target thread.

I thought better about posting all that. So, that's why it's here.

This is part of why nobody believes you are actually concerned, btw. People like you take "concern" seriously up to the point where the person you are "concerned" about no longer behaves in a manner you deem fit. Then you take the very issue you were so concerned about and use it as a weapon against that person. That is controlling and abusive. So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

Re: Stranger Things

So I quite enjoyed this, but I think my biggest problem is the extent it lends itself to the kind of "X meets Y" description the thread title exemplifies. The things you can compare it to are countless (pretty much every Spielberg/Spielberg affiliated movie of the 70s/80s, Twin Peaks, John Carpenter, Stephen King, etc.), to the point where I think that's the point - that is, I don't think it's making its claim on originality, but is trying to do something really good in the spirit of the latter, which it does well, even as nostalgic pastiche. I dunno, I found that it got hard not to pick it apart as it went on ("oh, now they're incorporating Goonies, now they're incorporating Jaws, now they're incorporating Poltergeist).

Really! This is that serious? The mannatee was unharmed, though I'm not recommending that the animal be touched or as the law says, "Molest" . Thats quite a powerful word to use in a law. The power of language. It looks to me he loves the manatee and he's trying to show his children that the animal is very docile and loving. In the meantime you have the little snitches out there that can't hold back. I remember when a neighbor turned me in for testing my sprinklers during water restrictions. I was repairing them. The water police came to my door to fine me. Wow! This why we become recluses and some of us move to isolated areas, away from other people. You begin to hate people, in general.

私も前に流れ星を見たことがなかったです。回転の25年は、彗星」のパス、および旅行を通過し、私の記憶に私は夜の空を横切って燃焼破片傷を目撃したことがありませんでした。レディオヘッドは、その楽器の上に背を丸めました。トム・ヨークはゆっくりと彼は大きな鼻の周りにキスしようとしていたように彼のマイクに向かって、目を閉じて、歌って、グランドピアノで破りました。コリン・グリーンウッドは彼の合図を待って、ダブルベースに辛抱強くタップ。アリーナ光の白真珠は自分の顔の上に泳ぎました。怠惰なディスコライトは、間に合わせのステージのアルミ入り江の内側に人工的な星座をこぼしました。ステージの金属骨格は、サンタ・クローチェ聖堂の階段で、フィレンツェのサンタクローチェ広場の一端を食べました。ミケランジェロの骨や石畳が下に置きました。私は数ヶ月のための材料のための唯一のサウンドシステムであろう私の脳の最高の機能の部分にそれぞれの音をchiseling、レディオヘッドの新素材への浸漬、うっとり見つめていました。

ウィザードのキャップのように驚くほどの人工と完璧に見えたコバルトの空に上向きに採血タイト都市広場の壁に沿ってバタースコッチランプ。スタッカートピアノの和音が繰り返し上昇します。 「ブラック・アイド・天使が私に泳いで、「ヨークは彼の死にかけている言葉のように歌いました。 「恐れることは、隠すことは何もなかったです。」私の訓練を受けた重要な部分は、コルトレーンのとの類似性にマーク "オレを。」私の人間の一部は、畏敬の念を抱いて泣きました。

私の周囲のイタリア人は(酔った少数の叫びのために保存 "Criep!」)聖餐に息を開催しました。突然、笛やオルガスム叫びの上昇は、群衆を介して不釣り合いに総なめにしました。歌、「エジプトの歌は、「確かに重大だったが、よく、の応答よりがちではありませんでした "クリープ?」私が見上げました。私はそれが花火だと思いました。火のティアドロップは、宇宙から撮影し、シロップ状のアルノ川がクロール教会の後ろに姿を消しました。レディオヘッドは彼らの側に天を持っていました。

でも予告OKコンピューターはヴァルハラに1点を下につつかれています。キッドAはロックンロール幼稚になります。 「ロック」(すなわち、そのラジオ飼料の可能性、そのギターのリフ、そしてそのフック)としてのメリットについての考察は無意味です。他のアルバムにこれを比較すると、青い画用紙に水槽を比較するようなものです。そして、それはジャズやフュージョンまたは周囲や電子うではないので。分類は、この広大な、催眠世界の内側に一度深く心に来ることはありません。身代金誘拐や他の惑星に連れて行かれるサイレント惑星のC。S.ルイスのアウトの言語学者の主人公は、最初に彼の新しい環境の中で無駄な彼の奨学金を見つけ、ちょうど美しい新しい世界を生き残るためにしようとします。

これは感情的、心理的な経験です。キッドAは外国人拉致をリコールしようとして白濁した脳のように聞こえます。これは、バンドの音だし、その指導者は、自分自身を破壊し、自分自身に信仰を失って、その後、完全なエンティティを再構築します。言い換えれば、レディオヘッドはレディオヘッドという嫌って、まだ最も理想的な、自然なレディオヘッドの記録になってしまいました。

「すべてはその適切な場所に「パイプオルガンとの通信の遭遇宇宙船のように表示されます。あなたの耳はトーンが来るか行っているかどうかを決定するように、トム・ヨークのCuisinarted声は、その舌のために奮闘します。 「すべて、「高揚ため息でヨークベルト。ヨークの心とリスナーの心の間の線が消去されるまで、「私の頭の中で2つの色があります」の一人称マントラを繰り返します。

Here's why you're a moron. No one gives a fuck about being wrong about forecasting the results. Who the fuck cares? I was wrong - I thought the polls were right. Oh well. People are upset about living in Trump America.

Iago i understand you were hoping for a hillary loss and a nation full of shook minorities so you could have bragging rights online but many of us were bernie voters in the primary and hillary was a compromise to a degree.

Here's a thought I can post here without a second thought:

Fuck you, Iago. This is my fucking life and the lives of my wife and children that are at stake here. Take your smug gloating bullshit and choke to death on it.

Treeship, Wednesday, 9 November 2016 18:26 (eight years ago)

This is probably banal but my guess is that every Trump voter feels oppressed for individual reasons that can't easily be changed - existential fear, awful coworkers, nagging family, parental abuse, whatever - and Trump provides false but collective outlets for that vague feeling of disenfranchisement. The Weimar Republic was nominally free and democratic, but civil society was abusive to a degree that is unimaginable today. Then Hitler came along and blamed all that abuse on the jews, and suddenly everyone knew what to do with their pent-up rage.

Omitted for poor command of the English language; also banal.

It’s rare, but members of the Electoral College sometimes break their pledges about whom they planned to vote for. There have been 157 faithless electors since the founding of the Electoral College in 1787

from the newsweek piece just upthread, it may be fantasy but at any rate "Faithless Electors" is a killer band name

Brief googling shows me that this is a British v. American thing:

Now here is where it becomes more confusing.

Many Americans — I cannot speak for other countries — also use the word “banister” to refer to the handrail of a staircase.

http://www.kirkmahoney.com/blog/2009/02/baluster-vs-balustrade-vs-banister/

how's life, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 12:43 (eight years ago)

I think bannister is generally used in the UK to mean handrail also.

cf AA Milne, from "The King's Breakfast": ""Nobody," he said, As he slid down the banisters".

Tim, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 12:50 (eight years ago)

Yes I decided not to post that ON THIS THREAD because it's so dull.

Tim, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 12:55 (eight years ago)

also used in a popular Smiths lyric but I refuse to promote far right views

The Remoans of the May (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 13:11 (eight years ago)

I call the handrail the banister or the rail or the handrail. The posts that hold it up are called balusters.

If I were feeling hypercorrect I might say that the handrail and balusters together constitute the banister.

If you are sliding down it, you are sliding down the entire structure, so sliding down the banister is fine either way.

Balustrade is too grand a word for a home. Balustrades are for fairy-tale palaces or dictatorial proclamation-making.

sarahell, Saturday, 20 May 2017 21:46 (eight years ago)

Yeah and on a tangentially related topic, cf. the persistent misapplication of stoic analgesics in how people discuss disease.

Like praising the "courage" of someone who is "fighting cancer." OMG, she's so brave, he's battling cancer, he lost his fight with cancer, she kicked cancer's ass, etc. There's a narrow tightrope of tone. One understandably wants to praise courage. But turn it a notch further, and it implies that people who are completely fucking terrified kinda deserve to die. We want to praise self-reliance and resilience, but doing so always carries a risk of victim-blaming.

Human dignity doesn't just apply to "brave" "upbeat" "fighters." It also applies to people whose response to something terrible is... terror. People who respond with sorrow to that which is sorrowful.

Viewing extinction through a moralizing human lens is a silliness

"I don't think he's inherently evil or machiavellian or anything, he just can't help being how he is because he was never taught otherwise. Anyone who ever refuses anything he demands gets fired, anything that goes wrong is always someone else's fault, he's incapable of doing anything wrong in his mind because he's always been right - he's been surrounded by yes-men and enablers his whole life because of how capitalism works. This makes him extremely dangerous (he won't deliberately destroy the world, but all it takes is a little suggestion from the truly evil realpolitik guys who have really been ruling the world before he got here: e.g. if enough people can convince him (using something the length of a Tweet because he has the attention span of a goldfDID SOMEONE SAY GOLD? We have the biggest amount of gold in the world-and not only that, the BEST gold! Everyone is talking about it!) that nuking Iran would be the best way to prove he's the most important man in the world, then by god, he will just go and push the button. Whoever refuses gets fired ("who's the president, you or me?"). The nuclear war that happens later won't be his fault, because this or that advisor had told him it wouldn't happen, it's clearly that guy's fault. Stop persecuting him.

In short: he's the product of his surroundings and there's nothing that can be done (impeach? he never did anything wrong! it was those disrussians who disrupted everything!). It's only a matter of time before he accidentally does something truly apocalyptic."

Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 31 August 2017 00:12 (seven years ago)

Hi Ross

There's usually a reasonable reason to use this thread, despite plenty not liking it.

Historically, now this is a while ago, you'd post the stuff onthread, there'd be a huge clusterfuck and everyone would get upset and banned. This venting mechanism prevents that for when you don't actually want to derail a thread.

Also, and if you want to take only a negative view of the thread that's your prerogative obv, but a lot of the time one doesn't actually want to say something nasty or impatient or tetchy to an ilxor, most of whom are essentially grand.

Thirdly, there's ppl who one would certainly like to say posts itt to but mods (again historically tbf) would tend to frown upon it because the thcreaming and thcreaming and thcreaming woke the house. Or because eh mods knew these ppl. Or whatever. Anyway.

The above was posted here itt because a) it was for an entire array of ppl and who wants to attack a gang when they will always be available in groups of one or two again for easy pickings and b) mainly it was for a point in time some days ago where I was unable to follow thread in real-time but could not believe disgusting savagery of the highest was passing unremarked at the time. One has to take a stand and be seen to do so.

Now, aside from all that, this thread is actually nothing like passive aggressive notes, which is afaict a thread full of actual passive aggressive notes.

2) a man sits on on top of a pile of gigantic muffins
3) a gallon or more of egg nog sits on top of a table covered with a red tablecloth and two tall candles
4) a hand adjusts the black hat on top of a miniature snow-man formed out of two cans of sauerkraut with a hot dog for a nose
5) an arm extending from a ceiling tile dangles a wreath made out of cheese puffs while someone peeks through a window in the front door
6) a hamster feeder bottle of milk hangs above a droplet of milk that looks like a speech bubble about half a foot away from a dog bowl full of chocolate chip cookies
7) santa struggles to climb over a backyard fence that is 6 feet tall. it is winter and there is some snow on the ground
8) santa has entered the building. the four men are passed out under the broom christmas tree.
9) the table with two tall candles is now missing egg nog. santa is eating the chocolate chips out of the bowl like a dog
10) one of the four sleeping men is ducking his head under a canopy of a homemade miniature home depot, next to a homemade miniature best buy.

P as in pterodactyl (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 6 October 2017 01:09 (seven years ago)

"Cartoons were once exponents of fantasy as opposed to rationalism. They ensured that justice was done to the creatures and objects they electrified, by giving the maimed specimens a second life. All they do today is to confirm the victory of technological reason over truth. A few years ago they had a consistent plot which only broke up in the final moments in a crazy chase, and thus resembled the old slapstick comedy. Now, however, time relations have shifted. In the very first sequence a motive is stated so that in the course of the action destruction can get to work on it: with the audience in pursuit, the protagonist becomes the worthless object of general violence. The quantity of organised amusement changes into the quality of organised cruelty. The self-elected censors of the film industry (with whom it enjoys a close relationship) watch over the unfolding of the crime, which is as drawn-out as a hunt. Fun replaces the pleasure which the sight of an embrace would allegedly afford, and postpones satisfaction till the day of the pogrom. Insofar as cartoons do any more than accustom the senses to the new tempo, they hammer into every brain the old lesson that continuous friction, the breaking down of all individual resistance, is the condition of life in this society. Donald Duck in the cartoons and the unfortunate in real life get their thrashing so that the audience can learn to take their own punishment."

I'm not going to interfere with someone else being offended, I don't think that ever works. Not posting this:

"Much like today's widely socially acceptable terms idiot and moron, which are also defined as some sort of mental disability, when the term retard is being used in its pejorative form, it is usually not being directed at people with mental disabilities. Instead, people use the term when teasing their friends or as a general insult when in an argument." ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retard_(pejorative) )

general phrenology-type nonsense I think which had a racist component but wasn't exclusive in this case

pulled pork state of mind (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:53 (seven years ago)

like I was sort of joking above because I think the physiognomical belief was that a low brow suggested caveman-like tendencies and therefore low intelligence etc and this was definitely applied racially but also across the class spectrum etc

pulled pork state of mind (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 13:54 (seven years ago)

highbrow the concept as cultural praise originates in maybe the 1800s, from gall's phrenology (word is probably later): neanderthals were identified in the 1840s, and their qualities back-inferred from there (viz they must have been bad not good bcz brows low not high: thus the feelin-yr-bumps science, anyway)

in other words lowbrow did more or less originate as a diss on neanderthals, as did the adjective neanderthal :(

in fact it is we who are the monsters here (since we obviously entirely absorbed the entire strain, probably mostly by eating them)

crocus bulbotuber (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 14 December 2017 15:45 (seven years ago)

Got into an argument with a co-worker once. My position was #1 was pee, #2 was poo. He countered that both are #1's - it's just that people usually say #2 after a poo because they've also peed during the same trip to the bathroom (1+1=2).

I asked, so if someone has a bowel movement, but doesn't urinate, that means they've only gone #1? He said, that's right, but come on, that never happens.

^^ None of that for any specific thread, but definitely a post I had second thoughts about.

it's just that people usually say #2 after a poo because they've also peed during the same trip to the bathroom (1+1=2).

come on, we all know that's what #3 is for. this was decided on the playground back in 1947 and passed down from generation to generation.

I want to read a book about Hope Hicks. She is the same age as me, went to similar kinds of schools (pre-college), and before joining Trump didn’t seem especially political. And het if Wolff is to be believed she is the only person who is truly loyal to Trump. In a cabinet of cynics mocking him behind his back she thinks it’s never too late to change the narrative—an attitude she picked up from trump. Why? Or alternately, is it even possible? Does she have a long term gameplan—book or something? Bannon says she allowed herself to be incriminated by sitting in certain Russia meetings everyone else knew to avoid. She seems willing to go down with te ship. Why? Can she really feel loyalty to her awful, disgusting boss?

I haven't kept up with the thread but, if my example of a post-Adorno pop-hating pop writer is a fiction, to the point of being inconceivable, I'm pretty sure that actually supports the point I was getting at: I was NOT saying that poptimist writers always love (or should always love) the most popular music purely because it is popular; that is not a critique of poptimism that I would take seriously at all. I do think, though, that this critical approach is almost by necessity still less detached or sociologically-minded than "popularity itself is worth studying" seems to imply to me - it seems to require at the least a pretty significant appreciation of the basic aesthetic values of mainstream pop music (which does have a pretty clear and distinct set of aesthetic values at any given time). That definitely doesn't mean the poptimist has to love any given individual pop song but it will probably mean, statistically, that the poptimist will love a large number, or eventually become less actually-poptimist, for the same reasons you give. As such, I'm not convinced that it is radically different from 'rockism', which was also rooted in an appreciation for the aesthetic values of a Golden Era of Pop (and provided plenty of attendant political rationalizations for this preference).

Btw, I do know scholars who prefer other musics as listeners or musicians but who study pop because "popularity itself is worth studying" (or pragmatic in career terms). No one considers them poptimists afaik.

Political professionals are journeymen who are often ideologically and geographically flexible in their assignments, though usually rooted in some spectrum of core belief. That and a longterm relationship help explain longtime "establishment" Dem operative Tad Devine (Bentsen, Bob Kerrey, Gore, Kerry, Corzine, Menendez, McCaskill, Bill Nelson, etc.)'s becoming Bernie's chief strategist. Whether they are sufficient to explain that role among others he has taken on is another question. Consider that Devine, once chief of staff to mob-tied Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci, after more than two decades at the center of Democratic politics, appears to have been marginalized (or marginalized himself) by the 2008 cycle. That's two years after he first went to work for Paul Manafort (and alongside Tony (but not John) Podesta) on behalf of Putin-aligned Yanukovych and the Party of Regions, and I'm not aware of his having worked for any party-endorsed politician or having had any non-Yanukovych major client since. Certainly no facts involving compromising financial or other incentives have been made public, but that does not mean that they will not develop. Given that Manafort has already been indicted, and Podesta is reportedly a subject of the Mueller investigation, it may be a bit early to draw conclusions on this score.

What can be established, however, is that the typically-negative (sorry, "contrast"ing) message Devine crafted is precisely the opposite of the one he had previously used on behalf of establishment candidates, which regardless of the degree of foreign association if any should say something about the degree to which the Sanders campaign was a cynical exercise in friendly fire against the presumptive nominee and fairly inevitable primary victor.

Rani Sharma and five nails do not touch hair problems! Even though the harnessing harbor technicians are not heavily armed with armed lawns and do so much and fit when costs get disturbed.

It does not pollute a king like a king. They see the background. Leal Moody

It gets hot. Another excellent pair was in the middle. It was not trustworthy.

albums with some songs on that you personally don't like but you like the rest of the album on principle because it's by a band

vermicious kid (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 10 April 2018 09:56 (seven years ago)

albums that you saw while you were in the pub and one of the tracks offered to buy you a drink but it looked a bit dodgy so you turned it down but then you were paranoid all night that it was going to spike your drink also it was a Smanging Pushkins album

vermicious kid (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 10 April 2018 09:58 (seven years ago)

when a man makes an album and can't keep its mind on nothin' else, they'd trade the world for the good thing they's found and if it's bad they can't see it because it can do no wrong and they turn their band on their best album if they puts it down

Yes, the notion that, say, I may have been kicked out of multiple classes for excessive snickering as a lad and am likely to perpetuate that behavior well into my dotage is simply ludicrous, and also offensive. And hurtful. And just plain mean.

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 20 September 2018 20:24 (six years ago)

Katherine, I can't think of anyone on here I agree with more often, also I'm enjoying your listening thread a lot and only am not commenting there much because I have nothing really valuable to add.

Sometimes though I feel like, you know, there are plenty of other people whose online persona is a sort of semi-trolling wisecracking cynic, and as I am someone who is always a little too earnest for many people to take and I'm not into "banter" this really rubs me up the wrong way and I often have to quit conversations online because I know if the other person is one of these banterers I am never going to feel like we are actually talking about whatever it is, I'll just have this nagging sense that they're really just making fun of me, and it makes me feel powerless and stupid. This used to happen *a lot* and I am still wary of joining a discussion and will quit it if I ever get that feeling because you know, what's the point?

So what I'm saying is that I understand the feeling, and you are really not wrong to be angry or upset by it, but it isn't your problem and it isn't ILX's problem, it's a problem with the internet and with people, and as it's not getting fixed any time soon even nice people have to develop thick skins, somehow.

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 20 September 2018 20:55 (six years ago)

You're right, it doesn't. But quite possibly that's how it was intended? I really have no idea TBH, it's certainly not acceptable, I agree.

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 20 September 2018 20:58 (six years ago)

acceptable or not it happens all the fucking time with zero consequences whatsoever, and it seems to happen primarily to me -- the only person who seems to receive this much outright hostility is Turrican (and I don't understand that either)

Re katherine, as I've said before, I like her and think she's smart and otm about a whole bunch of subjects, but the endless "poor me" BS every time anyone disagrees with her drives me up a fucking wall. Like, she should make "I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, but I'm sorry" her username, she posts it so often, and if she stopped apologizing for her opinions all the goddamn time I'd like her a hundred times more than I already do.

I'm gonna lay it on the line and then never speak of it again: the only ILX poster who(se online persona) I genuinely dislike is Dr Morbius. Everybody else, I'm cool with. That is all.

this is kind of different, but have you ever run into a group of "friends" who do nothing but shit talk each other constantly? (i think this is also common in some families) like the style of humor and camaraderie they have is to constantly make jokes at the others' expense? but they seem to be buds all the same? i have no fucking clue how that works, and have never been a member of said friend circles because i can't handle getting made fun of constantly, but it is a very common thing. in the same way there is a style of conversing online that includes little jabs that cut sensitive people to the core but are seemingly unnoticeable to others.

- ctrl+a, ctrl+x, ctrl+h, ctrl+v here instead
- close tab without posting

Dan S, Thursday, 20 September 2018 22:02 (six years ago)

whatever purpose this thread serves, it's definitely not to lay on with really personal insults (esp if you supposedly like the person). and it's not a "void" b/c like... we're all ... here.

honestly the conceit of fancying it a free zone for any sort of mean posting seems sorta beneath ilx. "oh sure, I mean, I *wrote* it, and posted it where you could see it... but, see, it was in the Doesn't Count thread, so it's like i *didn't* say it." we might as well just start letting people call "Opposite Day!" after the fact.

I'd let you buy me a drink.

I think unperson and Adam meant that they'd interact as if ILX didn't exist, which seems reasonable. I have a number of friends whom I've met thanks to ILX and if the board comes up at all it's tangential.

The Silky Veils of Alfred (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 20 September 2018 22:02 (six years ago)

ILX can be and certainly has been a little rough and tumble, but it's just about the most cuddly interactive experience I've encountered on the internet. Like when I'm feeling too overly-sensitive to hang here, I know it's time for me to go offline altogether for a bit.

xposts

but it isn’t a void, if you want to post into a void there’s notepad or physical pen and paper. posting something in public means people can and will see it, and it doesn’t mean they can’t be hurt by it

it's a void if you don't look at it! I have no idea what conversation was going on elsewhere that made you (accurately) deduce that unperson was talking about you here, but you don't have to look at this thread. if you're actively looking at it to see if anyone's saying unkind things about you, then it would be self-care to avoid it altogether.

unperson is often a total dick, and unapologetic about it as seen ^^, but him taking his dick-posting away from the other conversation is a deliberate attempt to de-escalate, not to provoke.

to be clear i'm sure i've been part of the problem too, maybe as recently as this week. there are whole threads of mine i'd really like to strike from the record. but there is still hope for this board!!

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 20 September 2018 22:21 (six years ago)

I agree w/you DC.
2 points tho: 1) it does not seem like a good idea for a poster like katherine to be perusing this thread. what is to be gained? if I was that sensitive to criticism/insults, I would avoid it completely. 2) I'm all for being polite but I'm not going to walk on eggshells for someone who reads "choose your battles" (when it wasn't even in response to them specifically) as being shouted down. It's ridiculous.

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 20 September 2018 22:21 (six years ago)

Tbf i think it showed really bad judgment for unperson to make even a subtweet type comment about katherine who is obviously not interested in a Zingy, banter kind of atmosphere.

I sympathize with katherine because (years back) I used to think many of the posters here were very cool and smart, especially ones whose work I had read in pitchfork and elsewhere, and it was traumatizing when they would criticize my posting style/personality.

I’ve learned since then that not everyone is going to like me and that’s ok—i don’t like everyone either. The bluntness of ilx actually allowed me to learn things about myself and how I come across to others and in some cases that’s led me to tone things down but in most cases I just made peace with it.

Trϵϵship, Thursday, 20 September 2018 22:22 (six years ago)

you seem focused on the notion of fairness, and an idealized world: you did nothing wrong, why are you being attacked. others get away with stuff, go unpunished. you don't want posters to post this or that. you want to know all information that would help you navigate relationships better.
nobody is disputing that things are unfair. *cliche* life is unfair. complaining about unfairness IME is far less useful to oneself than figuring out defense mechanisms to deal with it.

@ granny: ilx is a collaborative creation. we should be trying to make it more fair. "the world is unfair" is unimpressive because the proposal on the table is to change one part of the world - a tiny part that we basically control as a group - and make it less unfair. so "the world is unfair" starts to sound like "i like it better when people can be snarky and mean and nobody calls them out on it." but i'm going out for a burger and tiki drinks per bamcquern's suggestion.

the thing I don't get, still, is the fact that it's up to me, when one could easily say "don't be hostile to other people"

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 20 September 2018 23:56 (six years ago)

because nobody can police that

the late great, Thursday, 20 September 2018 23:57 (six years ago)

but you can control you

the late great, Thursday, 20 September 2018 23:57 (six years ago)

but... a person (speaking in general here) can police whether they are hostile or not? it isn't even "policing," since one has to go out of one's way to be hostile. and even a bit of policing isn't a bad thing. like, even my use of the word "hostile" is chosen because unlike, say, "dickish" it doesn't imply that they are a bad person, which isn't something I want to imply.

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 20 September 2018 23:58 (six years ago)

like "you can control you" applies equally well to people saying hostile or mean or combative things. unless there is someone forcing them to do them, or the words just magically appear on the screen with no agency or input

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 20 September 2018 23:59 (six years ago)

one person's hostility is another person's banter. it's very subjective, which is why "don't be hostile" makes less sense than "ignore that bullshit"

you don't get to dictate how I engage on ILX just because you may not like how I say it. that's what the FP button is for.

yes! and people can choose to be mean, or say combative things. being mean and combative is okay!

the late great, Friday, 21 September 2018 00:08 (six years ago)

one person's hostility is another person's banter.

I'm also baffled -- I realize I say this a lot, but I genuinely am -- as to how there is any question as to whether the likes of "jesus christ you're fucking insane" or "oh for fuck's sake stop whining and filling every fucking thread with your fucking self-pitying tears" can possibly be construed as good-hearted banter. like, sure, my friends banter, but the hostility register is generally more along the lines of "haha, what a classic pisces" (just an analogy of something with a similar level of venom, please don't make this about how astrology is fake), not this. and even in the case of that banter, if someone say "hey, can you not tease me about ____, it makes me uncomfortable/upsets me" then everyone stops.

(and I'd posit that it's much easier to control whether one says something -- which is active, a thing that you go out of your way to do, a thing that cannot happen involuntarily and that you expect when it happens, given that you're the one doing it -- than to control a reaction to something -- passive, something that is involuntary and done to you, often in ways you don't expect.)

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 21 September 2018 00:15 (six years ago)

Just to harp even more on what I said that upset you: I had no earthly idea that anyone would take "choose your battles" as me shouting them down or me being hostile. Idk maybe you're only referring to unperson's post itt. But in any case, something I viewed basically as a throw away cliche caused you distress. I can see how it can be taken as condescending; intention was more of a "we're all on the same side here, I think this is best left noted in our files on white supremacist infiltration of conservativsim but otherwise ignored, prob best to focus on other things. However, it's ridiculous to characterize it as being shouted down. That reaction is all on you, not me.

I don't understand why it's "unreasonable" to prefer people not call others "fucking insane" or things like that. I think it is a generally agreed upon expectation of decent behavior in general. and if you disagree try telling your coworker that tomorrow, or somebody on the street, and when consequences happen argue that they just need to learn to control their reaction to banter.

Replace "whether one says something" with "whether someone else says something". Does your posit still sound valid to you? I don't know how many times I can say the fact (and it is a fact) that it is much easier to control your reaction to others' behavior than it is to control others' behavior.

Look I'm very sorry I said you're fucking insane. You are exasperating though, and I have called loved ones "crazy" "nuts" etc when in argument. Or when not in an argument! It's not meant literally. However if I'm being honest you do seem to be hypersensitive to an unhealthy degree.

in that case I apologize, but I did perceive it as being "shouted," both because of the perceived tone, and because it was one of a cluster of posts on this same subject, and one in a pattern of similar posts on the same subject, all of which essentially told people they were analogous to "terrorist fist jab"/QAnon conspiracyc theorists during each successive instance of federal government officials doing nazi dog-whistling

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 21 September 2018 00:31 (six years ago)

Ok admittedly I do inderstand how that adds extra layers if someone was truly unreasonably mean. It’s definitely a tricky situation. Other than try not to care as much and hopefully people will also start being nicer there isn’t really a good answer. :/

If someone says something you don't like on ILX, you have the option of flagging their post or addressing the problem directly with the poster in question. If you feel that someone is being abusive, you have the option of alerting a mod to the behavior in question. Beyond that, you have no real recourse for controlling another poster's posts. As is true in the wider world, we may wish for others to be more civil or more polite or kinder but we have no control over that. We have control only over our own actions, our own words. We can choose to grouse or to retaliate or to 'be the change' or to disengage entirely. The choice is up to each of us, and no other poster can control our posts beyond the methods outlined above. It's a pretty decent system, all told. Maybe not everything you might wish for, but it's about as good as it gets in this life, and especially on the internet.

I mean, again, these are people I know and interact with in real life. It seems both reasonable and entirely in keeping with human nature that I should care about their thoughts. everyone else is still a person that I might encounter at some point in some other setting, so again, it seems reasonable and in keeping with human nature that I care about their thoughts. and even if there were somehow a guarantee that I would never encounter someone at all, ever, outside here -- which there isn't -- the person is still a person. being online doesn't remove their humanity. I could understand not caring if it were, like, a Twitter bot that randomly generated insults with no more opinion than a RNG has about any individual number it spits out. but they're people, and their opinions come from an actual place, and are not temporary.

katharine you have a couple of posters willing to coddle you and tell you every time anything like this happens (and it seems to happen very frequently dont you think?) that it was terrible what was done to you.

i dont think, well-meaning though they are, that these people are helping you.

i think you react terrifically badly and out of all proportion to anything you decide you dont like said to you, and i frankly find it hard to believe your chasing of each such minor up over multiple threads at a time wouldnt strike you as absurd behaviour perfectly likely to provoke a reaction that is not going to be ideal.

and yet again: this is an internet message board and isnt your workplace. your insistence that it is in any way analogous is ridiculous no matter how much you might believe it to be valid.

One time, I stopped, took a deep breath, and stood up from my desk. I look about me for a moment, still feeling heated and hurt, and I walked away. I walked all the way away, out the door and into the fresh air, and there I encountered a flower with the richest and most sumptuous bouquet. It was heavenly. I closed my eyes and I indulged in that delicious bouquet, allowed my nose to take it all in, and the bouquet filled my imagination with delights heretofore unknown. When I opened my eyes again, I felt cleansed, as if by a light summer shower. Nothing could bring me down at that point. A dog crossed my path, and I said hello to the dog. It was a wonderful moment. And once I felt centered and focused, I returned inside, walked to my desk, sat down, and I changed my dn to something ridiculous that referenced a butt. All was once again right in the world.

Katherine, as I said on another thread, about 95% of the mentions I see of you on ILX are wholly positive and appreciative. My guess is that the majority of the posters in here who are currently being critical are also appreciative of your presence here. You’re not flipping a switch that makes people hate you or have a lifetime grudge against you. Most of the regular posters have conversational tics that probably annoy or frustrate others, but people like talking with them, as they like talking with you! I don’t want to relitigate what constitutes hostility or banter or disagreement, I just wish you wouldn’t always assume the worst about your status here.

My point is that people being critical of one aspect of your presence here, on one thread, doesn’t mean they hate you, or no longer find your contributions worthwhile, and you should give both yourself and ilx in general a little credit.

half an hour of xposts:

again, why is the burden on me to leave a community where I enjoy discussing music and other topics, when I haven't done anything to be hostile to others

if you just talk about music and other topics and not about how one or two ppl perceive you, you can enjoy discussing music and other topics

nerds on here like talking about music, and you have interesting perspectives that are enjoyable to read

imago is accurate that he spent literal years here blowing up unrelated threads into referenda on his own posting style and board personality. absolutely nobody* hates him for talking about music he likes and films he watches and food he eats and birds he spots, despite literal years of ppl telling him he was making discussion impossible when he wanted to talk about whether people hated him or not.

everyone** here understands what it's like to feel beleaguered in an online argument and to inaccurately believe that it matters if they don't stay involved and make their case repeatedly. when ppl advise dropping a bugbear, or avoiding a thread, or going afk and sitting in the park and looking at squirrels, it's because they think you will be happier and have a better time here generally, and wish that for you, not because they want you to shut up and leave.

ilxors who almost make u wanna go homo

F# A# (∞), Friday, 21 September 2018 02:18 (six years ago)

When I was banned from ILX I wrote a long document to my computer that was a thorough summary of what happened and what things were supposed to mean when I posted them and individual replies to posts while highlighting all the 2-sided mistakes and misunderstandings along the way. I had a lot of butthurt jabs at several people that only made sense in the grand scheme of things that could only be clarified by reading my long detailed letter.

Nearly 3 years later I rejoined ILX. I deleted that document in the past year. I knew it would be too cringey to read before I deleted it.

Nowadays I keep my ILX personality relatively vanilla and that makes me happy. Whenever drama happens on here I do my best to butt out.

What saved me in the end was my ability to fogetaboutit. I don’t even know who had I had beef with or what even happened. Also my ILX insecurities have waned a bit since I’ve heavy filtered my impulses. I’ve always picture my ILX personality as a narcissistic Nobody but I feel like I’m less narcissistic now. The only times I feel like I wasn’t a nobody was when I chatted with ILXors in DJ chat rooms where we tooks turns queueing up music, when I played online MtG against a couple people here, when someone traveling the country expressed willingness to meet me, and lastly a brief couple of times I had email exchanges. Which is to say that I, without interaction with people outside these threads or without positive feedback, still feel that I’m perceived as a Nobody. But at least I feel like I’m a Nobody that people don’t hate anymore. I don’t hate anyone here and I do picture Katherine as someone that is very sensitive (without even knowing the current beef) but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The moral is that forgetting makes things better and also maybe a lot of other people are nobodys too because I don’t really know any of them. Talking to ILXors outside of these threads really helps on that front even if I haven’t done it in forever.

He said captain, I said wot (FlopsyDuck), Friday, 21 September 2018 02:40 (six years ago)

Oh, and while airing out my dirty laundry I should mention that at one point I somewhat idolized a few ILXors for their popularity or because they are/were cool. I knew I could never live up to that image because I have no connections and I assume thay had many. Since I’m antisocial in real life and I hardly ever get jelly it must mean that I really hold other posters (and ILX in general) in high regard for me to have felt that way; ILXors are not Nobodys ipso facto they are ILXors.

I think I have trouble getting my head around the idea that the nebulous and largely non-musical quality of 'authenticity' is an invalid (and possibly offensive) metric for evaluation except when it is applied to musicians who themselves value this invalid metric (or perhaps only when they are working in a musical style that somehow as a whole nebulously places great importance on it, as opposed to pop, whose stars are presumably all completely upfront about the fakeness of the love songs that they sing to adoring young audiences). That said, talking about music is more fun than talking about strawmen so I'll note that "Highway Tune" (lyrics posted above) is one that I actually like.

as a martian, it still amazes me that ppl seem to think malfeasors can’t be ACTUALLY “politically aware and active” and ALSO sometimes be victimizers, cruel, hypocritical, abusive, or criminal. ppl are often terrible. and weak. or sick. one likes to imagine the truly informed, those who BELIEVE, would never act against their stated objectives.

but they sometimes do. because there’s lot’s of emotions controlling a lot of other instructions.

(as a parent of hyper emotive 12 y/o, i’ve had a lot of thinking lately about the actual meaning of language, and the actual intent of action- it’s not shocking that im getting persuaded that humans don’t align either of them very well).

wish i cld find a good thread or post covering these bc i'm not a trans woman myself & don't want to misrepresent intracommunity discourse, but for now-- regarding her video "the aesthetic," there's been criticism about her using the "tabby" character as a sort of strawman, & her glossing over both in the video & in a subsequent (& then subsequently deleted) thread of the violence of gender non-conformance & her describing non-passing trans women as not quite women bc of their inability to pass

shld mb clarify by "her" i mean including takes she's endorsed, e.g. the male privilege thing is in regards to cosigning andrea long chu's thread about trans women having male privilege before they transition, which... others have pointed out is unnuanced for various reasons & however true it might sometimes be is rhetoric used towards explicitly transmisogynistic ends. also cosigning a thread from alc about gender being primarily determined by how society sees you, which overlaps w "the aesthetic"

there are certainly trans women & nonbinary people who agree w natalie on most those points (including alc herself natch) but a lot that don't, & there's something not-great about cis people & people who aren't circumscribed by those debates taking those positions to be self-evident when rhetoric at the v least adjacent to them is used to justify violence

cosigning andrea long chu's thread about trans women having male privilege before they transition, which... others have pointed out is unnuanced for various reasons & however true it might sometimes be is rhetoric used towards explicitly transmisogynistic ends

oh cool i hate this argument

you're roundly otm here eric thank you

princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 19 November 2018 17:30 (six years ago)

Thanks for the elaboration, eric. I haven't followed the response to her video on "The Aesthetic", but did find it murkier and more conflicted than many of her others. There is a risk if cis audiences are taking these to be the definitive trans perspectives.

jmm, Monday, 19 November 2018 17:39 (six years ago)

There is a risk if cis audiences are taking these to be the definitive trans perspectives.

There's also a risk that some idiot will think the Tabby character is speaking directly to them, and encouraging them to hit people with a bat. Contrapoints has always been explicit about speaking for herself and only herself.

grawlix (unperson), Monday, 19 November 2018 17:44 (six years ago)

there's always a risk when you're speaking for a marginalized or minority community that ppl will take your opinions as definitive for the community and not just your personal takes with which others can reasonably disagree but it seems to me like we should credit natalie (and ilxors maybe?) to understand the difference, esp bc taking that as an assumption ("you're speaking on behalf of X group and these ppl in that group disagree with you") is itself a conflation of the individual + collective. anyway sorry for the digression + thk you for clarifying i can definitely see how ppl might disagree w/ her on those points (tho i certainly think she's entitled to have & express them).

Mordy, Monday, 19 November 2018 17:45 (six years ago)

princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 27 November 2018 20:25 (six years ago)

When the lead singer of a band makes a point of talking about something, and that becomes the angle (a boring one, might I add) used for promoting their forthcoming record, it is most certainly amusing when they suddenly say they're reluctant to talk about it. And yes, it does bring to mind the character in the Half Man Half Biscuit song 'Used to Be in Evil Gazebo' - read the lyrics and I'm sure you'll see it for yourself.

Now, there's a reason I'm posting these things in the "second thoughts" thread instead of The 1975 thread, which you seem unable to grasp, but primarily because I do not want the thread to be derailed because I know you can't help yourself. Given your above response, I daresay I have a point.

biliares now living will never buey (Noodle Vague), Friday, 7 December 2018 13:36 (six years ago)

without turning into Scruton here, I think most of the new buildings in Leeds are a fucking eyesore. And that Bridgewater building that somehow the architects have turned into the perfect wind funnel is a hilarious classic though. It actually causes people to be blown in the air like confetti and blew over a large HGV one day.

Leeds Market is not bad tbf, but hardly worth travelling to.

the dangerous myth of 'london' is an affront to my cosmopolitan values as a citizen of nowhere. "i live in the most multicultural city on earth" the acolytes chant every morning for the duration of their 60 minute commutes. the myth makes working in a sprawling powerhouse of empire more appealing. "diversity is the thing that makes this thing better than the other things" they chant as they pay grossly inflated prices to their overlords.

sadly, rather than take heed of the more philosophically-sound rhizomatic structures of the north of england, where ppl live in a variety of more streamlined locales kept separate by an appropriate level of animosity, the cult of centralisation is being spread. a second powerhouse is proposed, a counterbalance, another pole to offset some of the more egregious effects of the island's cunt-magnet.

Leeds's post-1980 architecture is fairly uniformly awful, but that's true of most of the UK. It has at least as much decent Victorian and Edwardian neoclassical and gothic revival as anywhere in Yorkshire, and the university is by my reckoning the second-best brutalist building in the county. And there's the Whitelocks. Anyway I like Leeds, I liked living there, so (I understand I'm going to be onto a bit of a loser here.

Mate I've been hating London most of my life. Only in the last decade actually have I come to love it, and that's not through thinking of it as a political-economic superstructure for perpetuating Empire. I teach people from Southern Europe, China and the Middle East here, and most of my friends and acquaintances are immigrants too. I don't think of them as unwilling appendages of Imperial expansion or accessories of its effects. Maybe I should?

those threads are propaganda. there are a few big metropolitan areas in england, all of them bear scars of industrialisation and empire and have cosmopolitan features like international educational institutions; being unwilling appendages of imperial expansion or accessories of its effects is our shared condition.

there's a weird paradox with 'london' as a way of understanding that part of SE england. on one hand there's the fiction that it's still fundamentally one place and can function as such if ppl will just congest themselves enough, on the other, an erasure of its hideous suburban periphery. just as the sterility of leeds & the deprivation of bradford are linked and should be understood in light of each other, the liberal, labour-voting urban areas shld be understood in relation to the commuter belt tory strongholds which surround & sustain them. anyway, i propose we split it into a dozen cities and dig a pit to hell in the centre

2) when you’ve been telling people that for years and years, and they keep being distracted by you saying (what you acknowledge as) creepy things, or you lashing out at people, and you keep phrasing everyone else in relation specifically to you, then possibly that empathy isn’t being perceptibly communicated from you

3) having an outburst about a woman maybe deserving to be beaten with a stick is extremely alienating behaviour. insisting, repeatedly, at length, afterwards that the problem is Everyone Else and not your own words does not invite empathy or understanding.

4) yes, sarahel was making fun of you by posting that img. on the other hand, nobody here is required to take 9/11 conspiracy theories seriously. they don’t often take posters making fun of other posters seriously either, though, so nbd rly

5) on your latest period of ILXing, you’ve mostly been a placid and unabrasive presence. today you started rambling with a very incoherent nigh-conspiracy-theory on a pop music thread, that you could not explicate in any way, and got touchy and defensive when people tried to engage with you or to understand your thesis. you then wound up in a different fight on another thread, and began extensively self-pathologising. if this pattern of behaviour rings familiar to you, and there have been recent changes to your situation IRL that might be connected, good luck addressing those, and it might be helpful to yourself to avoid online conversations generally for a while.

Xp to sic

All my “rambling” on that music thread was interesting to me and maybe some other people too. If it didnt peak your interest I do apologize. My reason for my fight on this thread is real and I dont care what you specifically think about me. I did not get touchy when people “tried to engage with me or tried to understand my thesis” unless you read into it that way. I got touchy with Neanderthal for downplaying my epiphany because it amused him to do so. I don’t regret throwing out a comeback insult. Whatever the hell emotional state that you think I was wrong for having would be simply that, an emotional state. But I recall someone posting that someone was “yelling (their) theories” in that thread and I dont know why they thought anyone was yelling. I dont speak softly (think how New Yorkers speak). I posted more than I usually do in the last couple days. If you don’t like seeing a bunch of “snark” or whatever you interpret the conversation on that thread to be, you don’t have to go in there.

Esby, I can tone myself down since I interpret your comment as asking me nicely to do so. Also my mania has got to run out soon and that always helps.

mookieproof, Saturday, 5 January 2019 20:15 (six years ago)

the 'did you just ______...... TO A WOMAN????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?' shtick is eyeroll af imo

the context is that the poster in question, under various previous user names, has a history of saying creepy shit to/about women, including musicians, etc. Like, that is a significant part of what I find "creepy" about him. It's kinda like when someone that makes cringey comments that seem kinda racist gets mad and then says something super fucking racist.

sarahell, Saturday, 5 January 2019 20:16 (six years ago)

I've typed a lot of dumb stuff in the past that I'm not proud of. In my poor defense, some of those cases I was copycatting someone else and retaliating their casual racism or whatever by raising the bar a bit just to see if they would notice what they said in the first place. Escaping the past is impossible and I'm not ever going to be cool with some people here. That doesn't mean they should continually troll, bully and/or talk down to me. It's best if those people don't interact with me at all because I don't go out of my way to interact with them. What people read into what people post is never the same for everyone. I've learned to put more clarity into my typing. If someone on reddit forgot to tag a sarcastic post with /s they would get down-voted to hell.

It matters more to me that Sanders campaigned for Gillum, and even that he identified racial prejudice as one of their obstacles, than whether he made white people feel sufficiently bad about themselves afterwards. (I'm not white btw.)

There's a feeling comes a-stealing
And it sets my brain a-reeling
When I'm list'ning to the music of a military band
Any tune like "Yankee Doodle"
Simply sets me off my noodle
It's that patriotic something
That no one can understand
"Way down South in the land of cotton"
Melody untiring
Ain't that inspiring!
Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll join the jubilee
And that's going some
For the Yankees, by gum!
Red, white and blue
I am for you
Honest, you're a grand old flag
You're a grand old flag
You're a high-flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave
You're the emblem of
The land I love
The home of the free and the brave
Ev'ry heart beats true
Under red, white and blue
Where there's never a boast or brag
But should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag

(in denmark danish pastries are called wienerbrød = vienna bread)

mark s, Saturday, 13 April 2019 20:33 (six years ago)

The origin of the Danish pastry is often ascribed to a strike amongst bakery workers in Denmark in 1850. The strike caused bakery owners to hire workers from abroad, among them several Austrian bakers, who brought along new baking traditions and pastry recipes. The Austrian pastry of Plundergebäck soon became popular in Denmark and after the labour disputes ended, Danish bakers adopted the Austrian recipes, adjusting them to their own liking and traditions by increasing the amount of egg and fat for example. This development resulted in what is now known as the Danish pastry.

More Danish ppl being bad.

I’ve been waiting for more than a decade for this movie, and I didn’t believe Marvel could meet my sky-high expectations. With a few caveats, I’m so, so happy to be proven wrong. Endgame was basically everything I ever wanted in a grand, epic conclusion to the saga the studio has been building for so long. It was immensely gratifying, as a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fan, to sit there as everything played out on the screen. Every five minutes, there would be a moment or a scene where I would go, “oh wow, they brought them back!” or “hey, I remember that!”

this style is frustrating to an old like me, because i read it as a trope that comes out of board/net culture around the 00s. it's not a new style of social or political philosophy, it's more like an expansion that thrives in these communication channels. i got triggered about it listening to some other middlebrow podcast shit lately- they were talking about incel-board-utterly-malignant-horseshit, and also what i can only term other "disorder board culture" and it did just infuriate the fuck out of me. i don't know whether this style (not this post in particular) is a desperate coping mech, or postured self-aggrandizement, or just entitled lameness. don't get caught up in this please. we're all we got.

i feel like wearing a shirt or something saying "yeah _nothing is changing, and it may not, and it's discouraging as fuck, i feel that, but the world isn't made for me or for you, stfu htfu and stop. fucking. bleating. the world will change when it changes, or we're lucky enough to change it right."

pretty sure there's already at least 2 threads for this cobblers but i guess this one is hard to ruin and i dont want to look like i'm letting down this community just yet so please guys don't worry, i will write a detailed answer on how to make a solid base for this post to come after the jump!

i really love to know all about the cobbling process, how to build a simple fence and how to get to the place to place the fence as a simple build. These questions have been put before and will probably be asked again and again.

There is no way around the fact that when i start to talk about cobbling i will probably get questions about woodworking and how to build a fence. I am actually going to try to answer this topic because I think, while in most parts of the world all that woodworking was done by craftsmen who worked at traditional crafts workshops or could afford it because the wood in the areas that had a woodworking centre was very expensive.

Now the basic idea of a cobble fence is a very simple one, as we know it would have the support of solid steel rods with some plywood used to frame the sections along the fence and of course, the wood would be a bit woody for the fence. It would have a bit more than what it would see most houses would have but it was a cheap

the upside of not making friendship a thing where people have to be perfect is that, as long as they're sufficiently self-confident without being an asshole, you can celebrate people's individual oddness and wonderfulness and not get bogged down in things that would be dealbreakers if you were, say, looking for someone to live with as a roomie. like for instance, the guy who i am hanging out with tonight is somebody who i've hung with about four times in the past year because we're both busy but we've been cordial via email. he's a sweet, soft-spoken, intelligent guy with a lot of interesting tastes and a martial arts background who has informed me he doesn't ever want to visit my favorite cemetery because of his "connection to the spirit world." our lives wouldn't likely overlap unless i took the time i take to hit him up once every two weeks or so but as long as i get a sense that diligence is appreciated and neither taken for granted or resented, I'm happy to do it.
i guess i'm encouraging anyone who has issues connecting with other people to treat it like dating where you know you're not going to have sex and make the necessary concessions as such. it's easier if you approach being/having a friend with realistic expectations and can spread your needs around to multiple people. It's become a real hobby for me and is surprisingly fulfilling.

Never read anything of hers either. I admire her attitude toward her own work — basically, "I know who I'm writing for, and if anyone else wants to read it, that's fine" — and figure I'll get around to her eventually.

On the other hand, I tried listening to a David Berman song last night on YouTube and stopped after 90 seconds or so - it just did absolutely nothing for me. People who like what he did are seeking something from music that I am not, and that's fine. There's a whole world of things that are Not For Me.

His later, minimal stuff was a reaction, and he fully understood the absurdity of what he was trying to do.

All writers perform 'themselves' on some level (and Beckett was more aware of this than most, as evidenced by the never-ending authorial chain in The Unnamable, for instance), but his early stuff is already shot through with 'great black pauses', as he says with reference to Beethoven's 7th. Its stylistic lavishness often comes across as a front, which is almost never the case in Joyce's writings.

pomenitul, Thursday, 8 August 2019 16:16 (five years ago)

Btw Alfred, you're certainly right to point out that a difficult relationship with language isn't necessarily indicative of terror or torture or tortuousness, etc. Conversely, some writers claim to loathe the ease with which they write. Whether this is made manifest in the prose (or poetry) itself varies from author to author, but I would argue that in Beckett's case it most certainly is (that said, the opposite argument has been made, and I don't think it unpersuasive!).

Sure, but so is Greece. It's Northern Europe / Scandinavia, and it was a part of Sweden for far longer than it was a part of Russia. I mean, I'd ask my Finnish friend if she feels more connected to Sweden or Russia, but it would feel kinda silly, since we speak Swedish with each other.,,

Greece is also arguably part of Eastern Europe. See: Byzantium, Orthodox Christianity, etc.

Finland is undoubtedly not Eastern European if we go by the usual taxonomy. But these things are hardly set in stone (see also: is Mexico part of North or Central America? is the Czech Republic Central or Eastern European? etc.).

In case Aimless isn't trolling (I have no idea if this is the case or not)
Calling someone a disgusting sack of shit, a twat, a cunt, a slimeball, a toad, a motherfucking piece of crap, or any of a number of other insults is standard internet fare.
OTOH calling someone 'it' is like calling them a 'slut' or a 'faggot', it says more about who about you are than who they are, and no matter how much of a motherfucking piece of crap they are, you are now down there in the mire too.

imago, Thursday, 24 October 2019 12:26 (five years ago)

It would have had its place in a completely different context. As it stands, it's just the same old Anglo-American (indie) rockist vs poptimist tertium non datur turf war that knowingly ignores impossibly large swathes of music, some of which happen to be as immense as entire continents. What are the chances that, say, Toumani Diabaté's The Mandé Variations – a relatively well-known 'world' music album that I voted for – will place at this point? I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

polling is, i would argue, fundamentally not an effective means of challenging hegemony and "consensus". if you want to poll a population of, largely, anglo-americans on "music" and somehow get results that aren't dominated by anglo-american pop-rock the only way to do that is to write the rules so as to exclude anglo-america pop-rock.

ok lol I missed this was the thread for meta commentary. pomenitul was it you or imago (or someone else, sorry) who recently said something about the rolling threads not being poptimist so much as genreist? That seemed otm to me and describes my own stance better than poptimism. Like the generic, linguistic, and geographic narrowness of (much of) pitchfork and these poll results bugs me, but I also don't get much out of, say, the Singles Jukebox's open-eared but naive--I don't mean that pejoratively--approach; I prefer to hear about specific scenes from people steeped in them. I suspect breastcrawl is actually closer to this position too but identifies as a poptimist because his favored genres are global pop (apologies if that's off base, and I know you like other stuff too).

rob, Thursday, 24 October 2019 14:19 (five years ago)

It wasn't me, but that makes some amount of sense, even though I do think poptimism (which I define as a preference for short, catchy *songs* with vocals, which may in fact include rock) is still the main, overrepresented force in these polls and on ILM in general.

I believe you! I probably shouldn't have tried to pick an example since TSJ is if nothing else a shifting collection of individuals not a monolith. What I was hoping to express is that I genuinely admire TSJ's wide-open approach; it's basically unique right now afaict and is much better example of poptimism than the caricatured version pilloried around here lately. But the panel format often doesn't work for me. Given my own crit preferences and areas of special interest, I get easily annoyed when a writer is clearly hearing something they're unfamiliar with and is unable to situate the song in its local context. I used to assume "I don't like TSJ," but the idea of genreism struck me as a more useful explanation.

i don't expect anything from music nerds except for them to like what they like, which people around here are pretty good at. and nah, i haven't even voted in this latest one, i'm pretty busy with other stuff, and my "diversity" mainly at this point has gotten to the point of my name-dropping records nobody else has ever heard of. seriously, what am i going to do, submit a ballot and figure out how to "rank" repetitor's "Sve što vidim je prvi put" in the context of all records released between 2000 and 2009? like i can even remember it exists when i'm not actively listening to it? if i want to promote the record, i can just namedrop it here, right? or i have a thread where i randomly post stuff like that every week or so.

again, i do believe that democracy has its uses but turning people on to serbian punk records or whatever isn't one of them.

lately i'm just not interested in most polls anymore on ilm but ilm is still useful for me bc there are many individual posters with tastes who recommend stuff or submit ballots to polls that turn me onto things i like so polls are useful i guess but i don't care about the rollout just looking at particular poster's nominations and ballots.

But Brian had to suffer for his art. One of the scenes involved celebrating England winning the 1966World Cup, with proud Scot Brian having to cheer as he was passed by a Ford Anglia full of flag-waving England fans.

Brian said: "We were filming the 1960s scenes on the last day and, on the last take, the director said that, as I was a Scotland fan, I could make a rude sign at the fans in the car as they passed by.

"They gave me a DVD of the advert after filming and it included a version with that take in it."

The Bernie thread has been a bit tough the last few days, but in all honesty, seeing as what has been under discussion is a pretty clear misstep by the guy with the name in the thread title, make no misstake that the larger part of Berners on here realize that it was hurtful and listens to those who feel hurt by it. Compare this to the UK politics thread, which I think everyone can agree is not a place for fact-based discussion anymore, but for ranting and name calling. And which has degenerated to the point where a guy like xyzzzz can openly bully other posters all over the board, and while it seems even his most ardent defenders realize bullying is exactly what he is doing, he is still shielded and offered respect by that community. It is kinda amazing the rest of the UK pol crew don't realize how bad the comrades' behaviour reflects on them, but oh well.

It's fine not to be a socialist. Just pretending to be one while using corporate talking points is lame and no one believes you.

What's interesting to me is people who say this seem not to have noticed changes in media over the last 15 odd years. Which candidate has *not* had a cult of some kind around them, in the last few years? All of that has clearly been amplified by social media, internet memes etc. It's the nature of the beast these days, afaic.

if a Tory is polling at 50% then nothing to see here.

When they all start melting towards Starmer - me: it was a cult after all!

interdicto means forbidden, which applies to actions not people

you want something more like banishment or casting out or being sent into exile, masculine singular gerundive form thereof

banished: expulsus, exemptus, excisus, profugus, extorris, ejectus
exiled: profugus, extorris
driven out: expulsus, eiectus, ejectus, extorris, exactus

other possible verbs (mostly with the suggestion of being physically chucked out): eructo, propello, apstergo, sepono, paello, pello, excutio, emitto

since banishment was an actual legal thing in the republic there must be a correct technical term of legal art, since the roman entity was a very legalistic one (even in the empire except by then murder was probably the preferred option) (i can't find my v small latin dictionary bcz lol a bulb isn't working in the right part of my flat) and plus on-line latin research is notoriously fucking useless

Tbf is being permabanned (from posting) the same thing as being banished? Lurking remains an option for the permabanned of ILX whereas banishment from Rome is more than just a sentence of non-participation.

But why in the square? You went there when you wanted to do something. It was all thick slabs of slate and water trickled all day out of tiny pinholes and there was a queer smell of stale water there. And behind the door of one of the closets there was a drawing in red pencil of a bearded man in a Roman dress with a brick in each hand and underneath was the name of the drawing:

Balbus was building a wall.

Some fellow had drawn it there for a cod. It had a funny face but it was very like a man with a beard. And on the wall of another closet there was written in backhand in beautiful writing:

Julius Cæsar wrote The Calico Belly.

Perhaps that was why they were there because it was a place where some fellows wrote things for cod.

when i think of roman punishments i don't really think of banishment anyway - that feels like more of a greek thing. for me the late roman republic way of doing it would be the proscription - you put someone's name on a list and it's immediately legal for anybody to kill them and take all their shit. classy people, those romans.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:18 (five years ago)

I was responding to pinefox:

"There should be a socialist and a social democratic party. Trying to contain both has led to historical Labour strife."

This is wrong. What most 'socialists' are trying to achieve in practice is social democracy - eg: on the Scandinavian model that PT used to champion. I am on the far left by most UK standards but would call myself a social democrat. The real problem is that the Labour right, Blairites, et al, are not really keen on social democracy either. So she means 'There should be a social democratic party as well as a socially liberal neo-Thatcherite one'.

― the pinefox, 25. februar 2020 10:29 (eight hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

Frederik B, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:19 (five years ago)

I read Fred's post as a casual 'btw this is what it's like in Denmark, comparing political systems is interesting and informative' (which is true). It wasn't a swipe – I don't even think he used the word 'melt' ironically in the follow-up, or just barely.

romanesque architect (pomenitul), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:20 (five years ago)

I'm all for the whole 'don't stoke the fire' thingy, but it's a bit hard when posters just make up shit in their own heads and can't read stuff in context before blowing a fuse. The obvious answer remains permabanning the bully.

The Social Liberal party in Denmark are absolutely melts, and having them in their own party means being able to humiliate them thoroughly every now and then. There was no irony at all. The Green and the Social Democrats are quite melty as well, though they do have their moments every now and then.

Personally I have never used the expression 'melt' in my life, either here or irl. Anyway I assumed Fred was doing his usual, "You lot are all tankies" routine, so maybe I got that wrong. That and the fact that he never seems to show up in UK politics threads to do anything other than provoke a fight.

I don't really know what Fred's politics are tbh - and he plainly doesn't know mine - but given that he routinely characterizes posters on the UK politics thread as xenophobic tankies you can see why he's not particularly welcome there.

HELEN: Well you must have done something.

JERRY: No, he just doesn't like me.

HELEN: Doesn't like you? How can anyone not like you?

JERRY: You know, it seems impossible.

HELEN: Doesn't like you? How can that be?

JERRY: Ma, I know this may be hard for you to understand but I am sure there are many people who do not like me.

HELEN: Huh, Jerry, don't say that.

JERRY: It's true.

HELEN: No, it's not true. You're a wonderful, wonderful boy. Everybody likes you. It's impossible not to like you. Impossible. Morty?

MORTY: Maybe some people don't like him. I could see that.

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:42 (five years ago)

i agree - ppl should spend more time choosing their shots when they express a public opinion. good questions to ask before doing so "what do i aim to accomplish from this" "will this benefit people reading it"

Mordy, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:43 (five years ago)

shakey the answer is that it is too case dependent to give a binary answer but getting into the weeds is where all the bitterness and mess is and i don't feel confident in ilx's ability to discuss it really. nb i wouldn't have blocked the thread bc "free speech ethics" but i 100% understand the reason for doing so

Mordy, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:44 (five years ago)

there seems to be some disagreement about it being case dependent afaict. as well as what the criteria are for evaluating cases are or should be.

but yeah what is this accomplishing, I'm not learning anything and ppl are jumping all over me so .... anyway.

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 April 2020 17:47 (five years ago)

y'all guys got shit you need to figure out, if part of that process is asking "yeah but how much do we need to listen to and respect women _really_?" i understand that, no for real i do, if that's what you need to do to get past this fucking Italian Spiderman approach to women, do it. i will also respect you less and will feel less comfortable communicating in an environment where y'all are still discussing the "woman question" from the 1890s.

i'm sorry for the Italian Spiderman reference, i know that one is kind of obscure

i would never call branwell a transphobe but i would broadly call people who hold the views of "terf"s... transphobes. i agree the word "terf" sucks and no one likes being called one, golly what a surprise. i think the focus on gender assignation is a genuinely negative thing for trans discourse and it happens literally all the time with this specific poster so i was frustrated. i am frustrated by people genuinely rising to the defense of this poster, who, maybe more than any of us, has a fucking History on this board, but sure, they're the reasonable one, and i am the difficult person who is sinking to new lows

This is utopian, of course, but I do wish we could acknowledge that it's utterly, absolutely, completely impossible to be 100% in agreement with everyone on ILX and that good faith readings are preferable to the obverse even when it's personally hurtful. Fwiw I have been genuinely unsettled by things that specific posters have said in the past but I certainly do everything within my power to look at the issue from their perspective, even when I happen to vehemently disagree, and I still respect and appreciate their continued presence (unless outright bullying is involved). I think ILX needs more rather than fewer posters, entropy be damned.

brimstead, Wednesday, 29 July 2020 19:03 (four years ago)

Brad should not leave (or should come back if they do go chill)


Most posters with interesting perspectives generate conversation by talking about things they're interested in. Sometimes this doesn't work, because there's nobody else standing in the room at the time who wants to talk about that thing; this is not a conspiracy, it just means that people are doing other things elsewhere.

If a poster regularly takes months away from ILX then reappears in order to complain that people aren't talking about the thing that they want to talk about, in the style that they want to talk about, and that they are being excluded because of this -- over and over again -- then the strategy of just talking about it might be a more productive option.

If each of their posts typically contain the following quantity of personal pronouns within two or three posts of returning, then other people in the room can be forgiven for inferring that the poster mainly would like the talk to be about themself.

(One can understand that such a poster's conscious intention is to genuinely defend theirselves, while also understanding why many would infer otherwise.)

I walked in... I was referencing... not exposed to the suspicion and accusations that I am... the problem is ~my~ attitude... But the problem is ~my~ attitude.

If I even mention... I am screamed at, told [...] that I'm not welcome... let's be clear who has been excluded here - it has not been Brad. It has been me. If I mention... I get screamed at ...

... twisted to mean I am somehow ...

But the problem is ~my~ attitude?

The problem here is not my attitude.

...It's uncomfortable for me to be here... But having me here also makes things uncomfortable for you (pl.) because my presence ... you project your discomfort onto me. It's *MY* fault, my ... the problems I have here...

To name a problem is to become the problem.

only a few months ago, in my "DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD" thread, Mordy and deems had a 1-2 joke about death of the author and "is that a threat?". this poster was involved in a similar misunderstanding years ago in their beef with Mordy, but the "death of an author/is that a threat" joke had been occurring on ILX prior to that incident in question.

out of nowhere, this same poster showed up in thread and accused us of all being assholes and saying we are constantly mocking that incident from a few years ago, when nobody was alluding to them at all.

Particularly when they’ve decided to suggest that putting up with bullshit from terfs is necessary and valuable.

Things that have happened to me, a cis woman, when talking to* terfs:

- been accused of being a ‘handmaiden’, a gender traitor, a cunt, a misogynist
- been accused of wanting to sew myself up (!)
- been accused of not being a real woman,
- been accused of wanting children to be exposed to abusers

... and I find that awful enough for me, so why suggest any trans person does it? They have been radicalised. They are beyond reason.

*talking to, not screaming at, for a person who likes to talk about misogyny on ilx you’re not shy of using a few tropes yourself, huh?

Particularly when they’ve decided to suggest that putting up with bullshit from terfs is necessary and valuable.

whoa whoa whoa that is so not what Branwell was saying at all. but it's a super fraught issue that different people have different comfort levels dealing with ... like "how to navigate discussions of white supremacy with people who are sympathetic but are also kinda racist" ... for some people that is too triggering and painful and just a "no go" area. For others, who have the capacity to do that work, it's an important discussion. Then it's like ... okay, is that thread a place for both positions, or should it be somewhere where people don't even bring up the work because it is too triggering for those who don't want to go there.

One could argue for summary execution of all racists, terfs, cops and landlords, etc. including all those with somewhat sympathetic views to the racists, terfs, cops and landlords. Former ilxor nakhchivan might support this solution as he is a fan of executions. I kinda doubt that many of the rest of you actually want to execute all these people. I feel like you want them to be empathetic, respectful, and not treat marginalized people like garbage. So, the issue is ... how does this get accomplished? Maybe if silby demonstrated a greater interest in historical executions, I might feel like they were less of a smug shit-stirrer.

If there were no meaningful difference at all between the way that "people who were assigned male" are treated, and the way that "people who were assigned female" are treated, then no one would ever need to transition socially in any form, ever, in this world, because it just literally wouldn't make any difference.

Branwell let’s be perfectly fucking clear here your preoccupation with “AMABs” and “AFABs” is hateful and dangerous and if that’s how the galaxy brained queers you hang out with are talking about cis men, trans women, and transfeminine nonbinary people in the same breath all the time then feel free to fuck back to that chatroom and don’t bring that shit to this board that you hate posting on anyway.

I’m not about to speculate on what Branwell’s issues are

all cats are beautiful (silby), Friday, 31 July 2020 21:46 (four years ago)

well, Branwell has posted many times about and has expressed the perception that the fact they were AFAB (and presented as a woman for many years) -- led to a lot of the hostility from the cis-male posters in the past, that B feels they would not have received had they been "a man" at the time?

sarahell, Friday, 31 July 2020 21:47 (four years ago)

Like, seriously.

Me: "The creation of gendered adults from the genders assigned to children is a nonconsensual and often violent process, which is applied in very different ways to people who are considered to be female, and those considered to be men."

I know what my issue is, which is their rearing up out of the depths of the ocean to bully a genderqueer poster off the board twice in two years while spouting off about AMAB this and AMAB that is more than enough recent evidence I need to call them out for their transmisogyny.

No, it's more like... so-called "queer" spaces which are dominated by cis gay males often replicate misogyny in ways that are not always apparent to trans women or AMAB enbys.

all cats are beautiful (silby), Friday, 31 July 2020 21:51 (four years ago)

I’m really glad you’re here bringing your elevated understanding of AMABs to us

all cats are beautiful (silby), Friday, 31 July 2020 21:52 (four years ago)

silby -- I would not use the phrase "bully a poster off the board" here -- like, I feel that B should have been more sensitive to Brad, esp. considering the history from 2 years ago, but -- "bullying a poster off the board" compared to what ilx used to be like, and what some of us went through when ilx was like that -- esp. Branwell? ... poor choice of words.

sarahell, Friday, 31 July 2020 21:54 (four years ago)

It’s interesting that you would not use that phrase, what are some other phrases you wouldn’t use

all cats are beautiful (silby), Friday, 31 July 2020 21:54 (four years ago)

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Friday, 31 July 2020 21:59 (four years ago)

You act like I have never experienced misogyny. You act like I have never experienced transphobia. You act like I've never been bullied nearly to the point of suicide by people on this board. When I first started transitioning, there were men on this forum who started entire threads board lawyering for the right to deadname me - where were you, springing up to fight that transphobia? (I think it was pretty much FGTI the only person who did, at that point.)

You project the wildest shit into completely reasonable things which have been echoed many times, in trans and enby support groups, by trans women as well.

You're right, I don't get on with brad nelson, as a poster. We do not see eye to eye, and I suspect we never will. If the mere act of "not getting on with a nonbinary person" makes someone transphobic - hello, I'm trans and nonbinary!

I've literally had trans women talk to me about how they feel safer in spaces run by "women and nonbinary afabs" than they do in cis gay male spaces, but it's transphobic for me to make the same assertion?

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Friday, 31 July 2020 22:04 (four years ago)

I didn't engage Brad. Brad inserted themself into a piece of advice I was giving to the father of an AFAB child who was coming out as maybe lesbian / bisexual / nonbinary - and was tailored specifically for an AFAB person, because I was speaking about an AFAB person - and started screaming at me because they felt this piece of advice (which was never aimed at them) did not adequately cover their specific experience.

Brad started this, and was not the slightest bit interested in engaging with me or listening to me.

Branwell with an N, Friday, 31 July 2020 22:06 (four years ago)

You're a bunch of playground bullies, shouting that I'm the bully. It's just absurd.

You are transphobic as fuck to me, you're misogynist as hell, and yet accuse me of "hating trans women" to cover your own bullying.

Branwell with an N, Friday, 31 July 2020 22:08 (four years ago)

You have no interest in any experience outside your own self-righteousness, but you scream that I'm a "narcissist" if I defend myself in any way.

is a deeply inaccurate description of this interaction, you are able to make your points so I don’t understand why you resort to saying people are “screaming” at you when they’re not, it’s like, don’t stand on the argument that certain tactics being used against you are misogynistic and then throw stuff out there like this. I don’t get it.

Oh and btw iirc you threw out a massive generalisation about the AMAB experience, which Brad wtfed, it wasn’t exactly a mystery what they didn’t like about your post.

let them microwave their rice (gyac), Friday, 31 July 2020 22:21 (four years ago)

tbf i was basically screaming but, like, whatever. all this deserves screaming. brad is a great poster who contributes a lot. yeah, i'm really mad about how this all went down. and gyac is otm.

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Friday, 31 July 2020 22:24 (four years ago)

Agreed w mookieproof

And sarahell is extremely otm here

If you hate Branwell so much just killfile them, god, stop making it such an issue, nobody wants to read this fucking horseshit

gyac: I disagree, Brad got his back up very quickly

===

Look

The issue, as far as I can tell, is that Branwell started using AMAB to refer to not only the people that term is intended for (transwomen, AMAB enbys) but also, more broadly, to the cis gay men who populate the LGBTQ thread

I get why it's offensive-- and I did it too, and I apologize. I will not stop using AMAB because it applies to me, and I like it, and it is useful. I will stop using it to also refer to cis gay men, which I did, and I apologize for

Everything else still stands

Screaming "transphobic" at anybody and everything is counter-productive

Attempting to bully people off the board is ugly and execrable and stop doing it

And also I don't really dislike anybody on this board except silby right now for telling me to fuck you, but whatever, I just flagged a few posts about it and I feel better now

Would you do me a big fat favor and not use it to refer to anyone

all cats are beautiful (silby), Friday, 31 July 2020 22:26 (four years ago)

I don't have you killfiled, gyac, I'm actually following my own advice of not getting into discussions with people I don't think I will learn anything from.

I did think there was a chance, that if map and silby actually sat down and exercised some empathy and tried to understand that they are doing The Shitty Thing to someone from their own community, they might actually stop and reconsider? This is a thing that queer people do out of queer rage and queer pain - they attack other queer people. Sometimes you can empathise people into "we are both coming from a place of pain" and sometimes other people are too deep into their own pain to care.

Branwell with an N, Friday, 31 July 2020 22:26 (four years ago)

and for the record another poster contacted me privately and was also pretty upset about the amab stuff branwell posted in the queer thread. it made for a really unpleasant and deeply unwelcome experience and now one of my favorite posters is gone.

It can be a hugely helpful way of resolving conflicts in mixed-space settings, to address where you are coming from, how you were raised, what things were forbidden to you, what things were violently and nonconsensually forced upon you - and how the same things which are useful and helpful to you, might feel hurtful and oppressive to someone else, but you both have the right to get your needs met. We've resolved a lot of issues between enby people going in different directionalities by discussing those directionalities. We don't get very far by simply banning words.

Branwell with an N, Friday, 31 July 2020 22:35 (four years ago)

It’s useful in discussing with a parent of a child who is coming out as genderqueer, for example, as the experience is different for children who have been assigned and raised male as opposed to assigned and raised female

The Mandymoorian (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 31 July 2020 22:38 (four years ago)

Like in an enby space, where (deliberately frivolous example) some people are like "I want to express my gender through dresses! and pretty make-up! and glitter nail varnish and all the stuff that was denied to me while I was growing up! This is enby culture!" and some people are like "Ugh, I HATE dresses, get make-up the fuck away from me, I was forced to wear that shit and I never want to see it ever again, enby culture is boots and flannel and buzz cuts!" - it is a way of helping people to understand their differences, and that they can both be right, that where "enby" is located depends so much on where you are coming from.

And using these terms to express where you are coming from, "I was assigned female, I was forced to do some things, I was denied the right to do other things" can be very helpful shortcuts. Maybe generalisations, sure, but shortcuts can be useful, too.

Branwell with an N, Friday, 31 July 2020 22:40 (four years ago)

I have no idea what discourse exists that has silby apparently starting at a 10.1 on the rageometer as soon as someone uses [an awkward initialism that probably had greater utility when applied specifically to intersex ppl, idk if it's robbing them of a linguistic tool or w/e though] but it's quite funny that they have their current username during this clusterfoofooraw

more like sunset strip glam rock puppies imo

When I first started transitioning, there were men on this forum who started entire threads board lawyering for the right to deadname me

btw other posters may have broader memories or a grasp on timelines that make the following observation less specifically relevant, but just while I'm here:

many ilx0rs have quietly announced that they are transitioning, or changing their pronouns, or personal concept of gender, or login name, and had the other posters adapt to this without fanfare or conflict.

a handful of ilx0rs have also started posting under new names but pretended that they weren't the same person, and been met with distrust and conflict. the conflict and distrust typically escalates the more the new poster insists that they aren't the old poster, and are a completely different person. this occurs regardless of the announced gender of of the new poster.

many ilx0rs have quietly announced that they are transitioning, or changing their pronouns, or personal concept of gender, or login name, and had the other posters adapt to this without fanfare or conflict.

You know what? I'd have loved to do it this way. I'd have loved to have had the chance to do it this way. I tried to do it really quietly, and discreetly - it was like 2012, I was barely out to myself and my therapist. I didn't want to draw attention to myself, I didn't want to have to explain new and painful stuff and my whole history to people who were often hostile. Other people got to do it quietly - but the usual people on this forum seized on it, started interrogating my motives, accused me of trying to deceieve them, they wouldn't leave it alone, they kept repeatedly deadnaming me and making an issue out of it like I owed each and every one of them a personal explanation.

It was that thing where so many other people got to just be like "name change: be cool" and everyone just went along with it. But I didn't get that benefit of the doubt.

I was short and shirty with like the 10th person to dispute my name - not even rude, and certainly not on the level of swearing and insults and abusiveness that other posters on this thread have shown to me tonight, just shirty - and boom! A board lawyering thread, about whether they should have the right to know a poster's complete personal history, deadname and everything. It took FGTI to point out how transphobic that idea was.

That *happened* and I'm not having it handwaved away or diminished or justified that it was OK.

Branwell with an N, Saturday, 1 August 2020 00:02 (four years ago)

Without trying to be combative, or telling you that you handled things wrongly, or that you should have known exactly what to do to handle a gradual transition in a public space, I'm just noting that

It was that thing where so many other people got to just be like "name change: be cool" and everyone just went along with it. But I didn't get that benefit of the doubt

... is not the situation that was .

My recollection - and again, I may have plenty of this wrong: other posters who aren't BB please correct anything fundamentally inaccurate, I'm only typing to try and annotate for bystanders reading the thread -- is that the sequence went

On a board where it was extremely common for people to run short and long-term sock puppets, and still is semi-common for people who've flounced or been banned to come back as socks, a new poster appeared and kept talking about their gender and how classically male they were, and otherwise talked about specific interests of a long-term poster who had stopped posting a handful of hours before this new poster turned up.
Plenty of people assumed this was simply a new login name for the old poster, and - in the manner that ilx0rs still continue in 2020 to call their board colleagues by a real or fake name that they're customarily known as, addressed the new poster by the old poster's name in a spirit of inclusive friendship, demonstrating familiarity and affection by recognising the poster's voice. If they were only encountering New Poster on the threads of mutual interest, they weren't even aware of the repeated declarations of gender on other threads.

New Poster did not say "name change: be cool," they repeatedly argued that they were not Old Poster and that other people were not only wrong but in the wrong, and being dicks (non-gender-specific) by saying NP was OP. A couple of people went "er, if you want me to act like that I will, sure" and other people took the obvious untruth as being disrespectful, and poor sock-puppetry.

--

Later, and separately, Old Poster changed their login again (possibly after a period of reverting to their prior login?), and once again people recognised the voice and genially addressed them under the single-syllable name they already knew said poster by.
IIRC, at different points, the poster gave the reason for the name change as being to associate their general online identity with a name they were already using for visual art, and to avoid IRL drama associating their ILXing with their meatworld name. Assuming they were making early, tentative steps toward transition or different presentation, they were under no obligation to announce this in a public space, but likewise nobody in that space could be expected to not take the stated reasons at face value. When some ppl addressed Old Poster by a common one-syllable IRL name also used IRL and on ILX by multiple other posters, they were taken aback to be accused of nigh-doxxing, as this prima facie did not make sense.

Again, Old Poster Under New Name did not say "name change: be cool," in any way that people could be expected to hear. Old Poster expected every other of the thousand or w/e active posters on ILX to read every single post that Old Poster made in every thread, so when people bumped into Old Poster and called them "one syllable name," Old Poster did not say "hi there, it's BB now btw" and link them to a quiet announcement post saying "name change: be cool." Old Poster frequently blew up at individuals who were showing casual friendship by recognising OP, bemoaning that OP had been asking not to be called that name in multiple other posts, and that it was rude, or dangerous, or insulting, or assaultive, for someone to not have read those posts.

Friction was caused by this mode of reaction, possibly more than understanding was. Many people were also already much less inclined to grant "that benefit of the doubt" due to the sustained gaslighting that Old Poster had engaged in during the earlier name change.

--

Then eventually it became clear that Old Poster wished to be addressed as Branwell, and... everyone began addressing them as Branwell (or a shorter affectionate two-syllable diminutive, just as they had previously).

--

None of this is to say that Old Poster ought to have known the best way to handle it, or should have had a clear picture of their gender journey flash on like a light switch in their mind, or that some old-school arseholes wouldn't have been rude or aggressively refused to be cool about a "name change" be cool. Just describing some things that *happened*.

Steppin' RZA (sic), Saturday, 1 August 2020 02:07 (four years ago)

Sorry for sentence fragment in par 1.

(Also fwiw I remember all this ^^ drama, but I still have almost no idea what Branwell's situation is regarding personal gender conception, or presentation, or transition, or pronouns. So it's easy to believe that even people who were being aggressive or assholey on putative board lawyering threads in 2012 were not being transphobic, or wilfully engaging in deadnaming.)

Steppin' RZA (sic), Saturday, 1 August 2020 02:17 (four years ago)

maybe if a significant portion of a community, including people who have known and dealt with you irl, feel that a community is bad for you and your mental well-being.. it’s bad for you!

and maybe those communities that you feel accepted in are good for you. just off the cuff here, gotta find your own people and accept that some people are not meant to be your people

solo scampito (mh), Saturday, 1 August 2020 02:27 (four years ago)

I had no idea about the reason 'old poster' didnt want to be known by old name until something like 6 months ago or so.

I had just assumed it was "don't use my govt name" which had often been said by that poster.
I think most ilxors ,esp those like me who dont use SNA and only really read ILM would never have read any of those threads where it was discussed.

I'm happy to use pronouns that someone prefers, but they do need to tell me.
I realise that someone will get fed up having to do that but how on earth are we meant to know?

Oor Neechy, Saturday, 1 August 2020 02:43 (four years ago)

Sic, all I can say is, I remember things differently, and you've made a lot of assumptions as towards motives (both mine and other people's), and left a lot of important contextual stuff out. (For a start, you are continuing to attribute the actions of someone else's sock puppet impersonator, to me - even though I made it clear at the time, and afterwards, that it wasn't me? They tried to steal my identity, so I stole their name.)

I started to type out corrections and explanations and additions - there is no point. People are going to believe what they want to believe, and nothing I can say is going to change that. People see their own actions as harmless and other people's actions as weirdly malevolent, and that goes both ways.

There are some people here who like me, engage with me pleasantly, value my voice and encourage me to stay. There are some people who cannot stand even the idea of me, and actively wish me harm, and it is a waste of time trying to please the latter.

Branwell with an N, Saturday, 1 August 2020 08:11 (four years ago)

attribute the actions of someone else's sock puppet impersonator

Apologies (to Branwell and passersby) if so - I don't have any recollection at all of New Poster's name, but will have a look back and recontextualise if you want to post or ilxmail it.

Steppin' RZA (sic), Saturday, 1 August 2020 09:44 (four years ago)

Sic, I would honestly prefer to drop it at this point.

We remember things differently. Let's leave it at that, no hard feelings towards you.

(Maybe now that ILX *is* a more trans-friendly space than it was in 2012, maybe it needs a dedicated pronouns thread, where people can, if they feel comfortable, log their pronouns for easy searching, if other people are not sure?)

You describe another binary situation...but I don't think it's like that....And I don't think all this history is necessary. I think its a lot simpler.

From my own subjective, and partial view of events you basically dropped into the LGBTs thread and in the course of giving advice, started to trying to police it in robust and offensive ways:

This thread is like 99% cis gays, talking about cock all day long, casually equating cock = man, etc. etc. and so on

Overall, (again in my subjective view) some people reacted remarkably well, but unsurprisingly some were offended and upset.

Luna Schlosser, Saturday, 1 August 2020 10:42 (four years ago)

I was asking why some bioessentialism around genitals and gender was OK, and why some wasn't.

This is a repeated thing, within queer spaces, why "woman" is a contested space, and why "vagina" is a contested space, but why "man" is so seldom a contested space, and why "cock" is so seldom a contested space.

If you want to see that as 'policing', that's your interpretation. That's your subjective view.

Other interpretations are available. That maybe that is a genuine question? Something I am really curious about. It's not an easy question, it's not a question with immediate answers. It's a question that definitely makes people uncomfortable. But maybe it is a question that deserves thought and consideration and actual exploration of that topic?

Branwell with an N, Saturday, 1 August 2020 11:00 (four years ago)

When I think about stuff like "policing", I tend to think about stuff like - why are lesbian identities so heavily policed? Not even just within the queer community, like in the ~general population~, like, this was stuff I was encountering in the wild only a few weeks ago, which led to conversations in my DMs that I was referencing on the Bad Faith / Good Faith thread?

Why *aren't* gay male identities so heavily policed in the way?

Why is me even framing cock discourse in the exact ways that vagina discourse is framed, considered to be *me* policing?

Branwell with an N, Saturday, 1 August 2020 11:06 (four years ago)

Probably because you saw a lighthearted joke between Alfred and Morbius and immediately took it to offensive places because Brad dared wonder why you were opining on the AMAB experience?

let them microwave their rice (gyac), Saturday, 1 August 2020 11:09 (four years ago)

Gyac, correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen you identify as queer. You don't seem to be trans, or nonbinary. You are, as far as I know so please correct me if I'm wrong, a cis woman in a heterosexual relationship, and the only engagement I've ever seen you show with trans issues is terf discourse. Why do you feel like you are the best-placed person to play den mother and arbitrate in internicine struggles between conflicting groups of queer people? I really don't know why you think you have that authority let alone the context to do that.

We've had enough discussion about jokes and about humour on ILX, that... jokes, even lighthearted ones, are not somehow exempt from discourse, they are part of it. And dismissing stuff as 'just a joke' is, y'know. Not the power move you think it is.

Branwell with an N, Saturday, 1 August 2020 11:13 (four years ago)

The prevalence of the 'Gold Star Gay' ~born this way~ trope, and the One True Trans narrative, have been so prevalent and so normative in queer discourse, that we have tropes and names for them - to emphasise the importance of contesting them.

That Brad walked in, saw me naming a trope in order to contest it, and went beserk, deciding that I was propegating the very trope that I was contesting.

That was a really, truly bizarre experience.

Branwell, the lgbt thread (called self-isolating this spring) was started in April. You had made zero contributions up until five days ago taking offence at Alfred's 'I miss cock'. It wasn't in any way a remark with grand sweeping statements behind it, either. All other thread participants seemed to understand this, only you, who suddenly barged in, did not. Speaking of bad faith and not reading a room...

I don't want to be on an ilx where a gay man can't say - and it's irrelevant if it was a joke or a sincere remark! - that he misses cock.

That's not what happened.

I've been lurking on the threads for about 5/6 years now. I saw someone ask a question specificly about an AFAB child who was wrestling with gender and sexual identity. I saw a couple of cis gays struggling to answer the question - I thought that some perspective from an AFAB who has wrestled with gender and sexual identity would be helpful, and he told me it was.

A decision I made in good faith, but have completely come to regret, because it's been rewritten and projected to be in such bad faith hased on Brad's complete misunderstanding and mireading of what I said.

It's now time for this to stop. If you have further opinions on Branwell, maybe go and start a "criticise Branwell" thread because other people are really getting tired of it. This is so tiresome for me, I can't imagine what it's like for everyone else.

I’m going to reply to you one last time before I block you (thank you, obligatory zing plug here).

I am not sure why my bona fides are now under question when you can’t answer why you were making a daft generalisation about the AMAB experience, drew a WTF from Brad and things escalated. Are you the only person allowed to comment on things? Sure feels like it. There are other ways of writing about things if you don’t want others to reply to you.

As I said, here ends this road, and in a way it’s sad because I used to like your thoughts on fandom, you were the only person who got that & it had been such a part of my online life for so long it was nice to see someone writing about things the way I knew them.

If you want to turn multiple threads into this, by all means do, but others can and will reply to you. And next time you’re talking about how others are projecting, or how you’re so self-aware or self-critical? I just want you to know that that’s not true, and posting on here is not good for you when you are spiralling like this, and one day I hope you’ll realise that.

I am not sure why my bona fides are now under question when you can’t answer why you were making a daft generalisation about the AMAB experience

okay ... uh ... you realize you are kinda proving Branwell's point ... like, why are _you_ on the attack? Why is this "answer" important to you? Why don't you stay in your lane? ... Now you can easily flip that on me, fair game. ...

My stake here is that I have been the subject of ilx pile-ons, I have seen other posters receive this treatment unfairly, and I have had friends experience this type of treatment IRL. It feels like bullying and punching down and is painful to see people I generally like and respect participate in something like this. It is super fucking traumatizing to the person being attacked.

Now, sometimes, the person being piled-on has legitimately wronged someone, or there is past history, like what sic referred to (whether correctly or incorrectly), but this type of interaction is not going to make that person "better" ... assuming the intent is to get the person being attacked to take accountability and make amends and work on bettering themself? If the intent is punishment, then y'all are doing a great job at inflicting that. If y'all want some catharsis, you might be getting that too. But otherwise, this just sucks.

In the context of the incident that provoked this, there are two main people involved, both of whom are already dealing with trauma, ... Branwell has clearly described theirs and Brad's responses to the posts definitely indicate a sensitivity that is totally related to trauma ... and that makes this toxic pile-on even worse to watch, esp. when you have "more privileged" posters joining in the pile-on.

flamboyant goon tie included, Thursday, 6 August 2020 17:00 (four years ago)

it is a difficult topic to talk about, the actual experience of suicidality. not just for internal reasons, but knowing that for some people, hearing someone talking about it can not just hurt them but put them in danger. so i try to circumlocute the topic, and in this case what i was saying was too raw, circumlocution didn't make it any easier.

everyone reading this, particularly everyone participating in this particular little convo, i care about you and i hope you can stay safe.

― brimstead, Wednesday, August 19, 2020 12:23 PM (forty-nine minutes ago)

It depends on how you define "investing" -- mostly it's used along the lines of what ulysses s forks is saying, or you could just invest in stuff like federal and municipal bonds, which don't pay as good a rate of return, but in theory, you are supporting low income home ownership, agriculture, and infrastructure improvements . In a way, ethical investing is what led to the dismantling of apartheid fwiw. There are definitely structural issues if one wanted to be more ethical than just the investment equivalent of voting for Biden -- at least from what this thread, er the other thread, uh ilx, has made me think is that the majority of people have their savings in tax-deferred accounts, which tend to restrict what the money in them can be invested in.

There are a lot of "blended" business models at this point, in that they are entities focused on doing projects (building affordable housing, other anti-poverty and social justice type work) that do pay investors a decent rate of return rather than joining the nonprofit-industrial complex and spend countless thankless hours applying for grants and donations from rich white people (mostly). Many of these entities aren't things you can invest in through a tax-deferred account (401k, 403b, IRA, etc) -- so in a way that is an access to capital issue in and of itself.

sarahell, Thursday, 10 September 2020 19:19 (four years ago)

Yeah, this is something I've thought about a lot (if not particularly deeply) since a couple of events around 2008/2009

1. A guy in a hostel in HK trying to show me a "hilarious" video of a man destroying his genitals
2. A black woman who was teaching at the same ESL school in Lewisham as me getting me to explain "black comedy" to her class as she simply didn't understand it.

also I've just remembered

3. A video on the "failblog" website of a car plowing into a load of cyclists, and a bunch of internet people defending its use as humour. (should maybe mention here my step-grandad was a semi-pro cyclist who was killed on the roads in this way)

The thing I cottoned on to (sure this isn't a major revelation to anyone) is that there are people with gallows humour trying to laugh in the face of the horrors of the world, and there are people who get a genuine thrill from other people's suffering and discomfort, and think victims probably have it coming. It is not as easy to tell the difference between the two groups as it should be, especially at first, either in real life or online. The first group have to always do more to be careful when meeting new people who cannot be expected to know they aren't the second.

I think we're currently at a point in history – especially in English-speaking countries – where ambiguity (whether comic or aesthetic or merely discursive) is viewed with suspicion because it's been successfully co-opted by alt-right trolls who wear it as camouflage. In response, we tend to err on the side of caution by keeping uncertainty at a minimum so as not to risk misleading the reader, perhaps because deploying language with care is needed to make up for its nihilistic destruction on the other side of the aisle. I totally get how and why we got here in the first place, but as with all blanket solutions, including the most necessary and effective ones, I can't help but wonder about the outliers. So yeah, it's not always easy to tell the difference, but that doesn't mean every instance of edginess is tantamount to dog whistling, nor is everyone who seemingly never slips up in public a woke saint.

I mean if yr first longer post is in response to my posts on the Gawker thread, then that's fine, but I've been this way for a long time, so the idea that I emerged into it is kind of funny. One of the reasons I originally left this board in 2011 was because everyone was so damn namby-pamby liberal and not taking hard enough stances! I've calmed down enough in the interim, I think.

Re yr post about ambiguity, I think yr right, but I am more concerned about the issue as it regards art, and writing in particular. So many students don't understand ambiguity and don't want to, and it's endlessly frustrating when teaching poetry and fiction, especially. It's almost as if ambiguity is read as elitist, and that's a real problem, as I think it is very much anti-elitist in many respects.

I still think rape jokes suck, and won't apologise for my posts on that.

Yeah, this is an absolute nightmare to deal with as a teacher. Many students seem to think that it's impossible to write something without actively condoning it. My wife once taught a class where a student complained about how a particular novel was 'anti-feminist' because it offered a tragic portrayal of a black migrant woman trying to cross the Mediterranean. The implication was that anything short of a Wonder Woman-style narrative is problematic, which is just… fucking grim.

pomenitul, Thursday, 10 September 2020 21:17 (four years ago)

Yes! I have had some pushback on certain stories by Black writers as re-inscribing trauma, and while I understand where students are coming from, I'm also like...these are stories written about real life! Like, without these sorts of fictionalized accounts, a huge part of a cultural heritage would slip away! It's odd, and maddening. In the situation I describe above, I've started bringing in Hartman and Sharpe on the necessity of Black people, particularly Black women, telling the stories and finding the strands of the narratives that have been lost or suppressed, and framing other stories in this way has helped.

But whew. Never thought I'd see the day where I'd get some blowback from a Black student for assigning Bambara.

healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Thursday, 10 September 2020 21:26 (four years ago)

Ehhh I’ve encountered that mentality so many times irl, including with people older than me. I am, and always have been a firm fan of the fiction =\ reality line, but other people interact with fiction differently. I have never gone a year of my life without encountering it in some way, and I actually was the student at school arguing against this view (shocking), it’s not a Kids These Days thing at all. I have often wondered, with absolutely no evidence whatsoever, if it’s more pronounced a divide between people who write and those who don’t?

Neanderthal, Thursday, 10 September 2020 21:35 (four years ago)

there's one thing where GoT does a brutal rape scene that wasn't part of the book and served no narrative purpose, and was brutal and visceral. that was ridiculous, and I found it weird that people weakly jedi-handwaved it away by saying "that's how things were in those times" while ignoring that it takes place in a fictional continent that had no history.

vs having a rape scene in a movie that is part of the film's social commentary and people viewing a rapist getting away with it in the movie as "The film taking the rapist's side".

I've only been using it for a week, not used it for dhal yet. on the the cooking thread an ilx use harbl posted a good link to loads of pressure cooker recipes.

calzino, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 14:08 (four years ago)

If anything this is a gigantic improvement on the thread premise and to be encouraged.

LJ's recipe honestly looks pretty good but I'm not sure about the inclusion of fish and jackfruit together.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 14:10 (four years ago)

well 2 weeks i have been using it but I have started with some quite unadventurous recipes like playing very fast + loose with authenticity chicken masalas or beef stews until I get a feel how this high pressure beast works. I bought a little platform for steaming chicken on and am cooking a beef brisket in it at some point this week.

calzino, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 14:13 (four years ago)

it's a blessing on hot days and my kitchen has no extractor fan, so I can put the pot next to window when I release the pressure drop (rip Toots!)

calzino, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 14:21 (four years ago)

not that there is anything wrong with playing fast and loose with trad recipes in the comfort of your own kitchen. But when tory cunts like Jamie Oliver sell 800000 books/get a million youtube views murdering food and have the audacity to call the dishes by their traditional names - that's where it becomes bad imo.

I was strapped for time today because of cutting my hedges earlier so just sauteed some onions/garlic/celery/beef strips, added some stout/beef stock/tom puree/vegetables/green bell peppers/oregano/spring greens/chick peas and incinerated it in the pressure chamber and viola ..very reasonable stew done in 30-40 minutes.

calzino, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 16:10 (four years ago)

today is exclusively soup for me. my mum just dropped by with some vermicelli in vegetable stock and insisted I have it. so I'm having it. it feels very medicinal

medicinal? you are actually eating the soup and not draping the vermicelli over your forehead and other limbs?

But the one thing in 2020 I would've 100% believed had you told me in 2010 is that while a worldwide pandemic sickens and kills millions, imago would pop up on the ILX appropriate thread to report that he's had symptoms, only for it later to be revealed as a simple case of food poisoning.

I want to have a moan about something, congratulations you are going to read it (or not)

In the first days of the pandemic my wife ordered about 300 n95 masks from China, these cost a fair amount of money. The idea was to give a handful to every old relative / friend we could think of, keep a few for ourselves, then donate the rest to the NHS. Well the NHS trust didn't want them, said they didn't know the brand (!), so we tried to sell them online, but sites like gumtree don't let you sell them, they just delete the listing. So on Sunday I got up at 5.15 to drive to the local car boot sale and see if I could sell them there. Not only did nobody buy a single mask, I had a stream of punters and stallholders walking past me, making fun of me, insulting me, some were anti-maskers, some thought I didn't have a "proper stall", some said they could get three masks for £2 at Wilko, it was a miserable morning and I hate everyone at the car boot sale. So I don't know, we shouldn't have ordered them, it was a stupid idea I suppose, nobody's fault but our own.

I would call them /g/ and /dʒ/ but "g sound" and "j sound" work much better than "hard g" / "soft g" for people who don't use the phonetic alphabet, mainly because the latter sounds just as hard as the former.

好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 17 September 2020 22:26 (four years ago)

I agree with that! Also when you say "hard g" out loud you're using a soft g, which doesn't help

"Italy," it was asserted, "is not so feeble as to be unable to furnish its own capital with a senate. Once our native-born citizens sufficed for peoples of our own kin, and we are by no means dissatisfied with the Rome of the past. To this day we cite examples, which under our old customs the Roman character exhibited as to valour and renown. Is it a small thing that Veneti and Insubres have already burst into the Senate-house, unless a mob of foreigners, a troop of captives, so to say, is now forced upon us? What distinctions will be left for the remnants of our noble houses, or for any impoverished senators from Latium? Every place will be crowded with these millionaires, whose ancestors of the second and third generations at the head of hostile tribes destroyed our armies with fire and sword, and actually besieged the divine Julius at Alesia. These are recent memories. What if there were to rise up the remembrance of those who fell in Rome's citadel and at her altar by the hands of these same barbarians! Let them enjoy indeed the title of citizens, but let them not vulgarise the distinctions of the Senate and the honours of office."

the odd thing about Fred in this whole thing is that he was always working overtime apologizing for some of the shittiest Americans most responsible for policies impacting the rest of the world. He spent a million words admonishing those of us who have to live in this shithole against advocating too strongly for real change.

fred's bans were both ages ago. if you really want to understand why, the only way is to go back and read all the posts about them from that time. nobody else is going to put together a history of it that's much use. certainly the time to litigate it would have been back then --- everything looks better in vague hindsight without all the posts in front of us.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 21 September 2020 01:57 (four years ago)

Part of the way genocide jokes work is a) it matters who is making them (e.g. few people think it's unacceptable for Jews to joke about the Shoah); b) insofar as genocide is the epitome of human nihilism, it screams 'desacralization', i.e. nothing can ever be sacred again after such an event, including genocide, so we might as well make fun of it for cathartic purposes. The second condition was definitely met here as far as I'm concerned, it's the first that is still up for debate, at least in the context of ILX.

Quick derail re: yr post, pom: I just don't agree with the premise that *anyone* can make fun of genocide after its event as elucidated in yr point b, and joking about indigenous genocide if yr a settler is ghastly, afaic. i don't want to assume unperson's ethnic background, but I don't think my stance is one of leftist sanctimony run amok— it's one of not wanting to poke at wounds that are still festering due to the hegemonic political ideology in the US.

Even though I am personally minorly harmed by the SALT cap, being in a high-tax blue state, there's really not that much justification for eliminating it other than a giveaway to donors tbh.

― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, September 17, 2020 1:21 PM (one week ago)

Because the SALT cap was politically punitive and legally unfair in terms of the logic of the tax code? Granted it isn't as ridiculously unfair as the marriage penalty vis a vis student loan interest, the fact the maximum deduction for student loan interest hasn't gone up in 20 years, and the absurdly low maximum pre-tax deduction for dependent care ... but if you think about the fact that the SALT cap doesn't affect business entities and only individual taxpayers, and think about who the donors _are_ ...your post just seems like it's missing important things.

This is a perennial post asking posters to refrain from applying larger pathologies to Branwell's posts-- even as someone who felt as if a line was crossed in their recent discourse and (gently, I hope) sought to establish a boundary, I value Branwell's contributions here and feel that they are subject to far more armchair psychology than any other regular poster

Waiting in vain for all those ILXors outraged at Chris Christie being called fat to show even the slightest interest in this and several other posts in this thread. I mean most ILXors know some overweight people but do any of them know any Muslims? So maybe it's understandable that Islamophobia is not considered a problem worth confronting on ILX. Everything is fine, you can all go back to being sanctimonious pricks, nothing to see here.

Oh, it was way, waaaaaay more insane than "someone on ILX pretended to die in 9/11" - what actually happened was that a then-ILX0r* fabricated the deaths of two 'friends in NYC' in order to garner sympathy, attention and compassionate leave from work - culminating in his throwing a 'benefit evening' at a Freaky Trigger club night to raise funds on behalf of two people who were very much alive and in Brooklyn at the time of the crash. Some ILX0rs even attended this event and gave money, before the ruse was uncovered.

*the ILX0r in question was my scary abusive gaslighting ex, forever since known as DJ Munchausen. He had every intention of just pocketing and keeping the cash, but someone *cough* alerted Tom E and Ptee once they found out, and got them to divert the funds to the Red Cross.

Whatever crazy shit you may have thought went down in ancient ILX days of yore, the truth is always way weirder.

When I used to work in the bookies there was a guy I knew who was dodgy af who had multiple fund-raisers to help his family because apparently he was dying of cancer, despite looking remarkably healthy and suddenly progressing from betting in fivers and tenners to 50's and 100's. And then of course came the miraculous recovery that caused much scandalous whispering and tutting in Irish Catholic circles but there were no legal consequences. Maybe we were all terrible gossips, but I knew him from school - he was probably a psychopath was my amateur psychologist analysis of him!

a big problem with the future of the universe is that we can expect things to get more complex (law of entropy), while at the same time people prefer things to be simple. there is always going to be a battle between those who recognize the complex truth and those who exploit those who need things to be easy and binary.

There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
His neighbors are all invited
With Gacy cooking all the food
Everyone will be delighted
To make the BBQ
Annual Gacy has decided
For all his friends and neighbors
With the drinks and food provided

The annual party at Gacy's house
Everyone had much fun
He invited his friends and neighbors
And Gacy cooked for everyone
The BBQ at John Gacy's house
Everyone was outside
But nobody knew of the dead boys
That Gacy stashed inside

Gacy cooks the food at a furious pace
His BBQ pits ignited
While contemplating great BBQ
Everyone's very excited
The food is served, and they take a bite
Everyone is delighted
But they'd have a fit if under the pit
They knew dead bodies resided

There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
Come on everybody let's go check it out
There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
With free drinks and food we'll scream and shout
There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
Where all the dead boys are buried about
There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
Come on everybody let's go check it out

Now I have to pee

When you walk in there you best prepare, the smell of deaths all around
He was the clown who made boys frown at Gacy's house it was stinky
He's over the pit as the flames emit the favorite all over town
The hit of the day till you go urinate everyone knows it's stinky

It's stinky, stinky because of all the dead boys
It's stinky, stinky he didn't kill girls only boys

It's stinky, stinky because of all the dead boys
It's stinky, stinky he didn't kill girls only boys
At Gacy's house it was stinky
Everyone knows it's stinky

In my household, we vote and campaign for democratic socialists and progressives, we donate to their campaigns all over the country, including Democratic primaries, because we share their views on the vast majority of the issues. IRL, I'm one of the most left-leaning and politically involved people I know. Because I find myself constantly at odds with the "actual" leftists on ILX, I learned my politics have no place here. You can add that to the ways in which I'm a panglossian liberal in the Phil Ochs sense.

Tom, multiple people have posted that they would appreciate you expressing your politics here, both for its own sake, and as an alternative to your attacking or insulting other posters as a substitute for discussion. If other people have posted that you should never express your politics, those people said something dumb.

On the other hand, you have argued that no citizen of any given non-US country should ever post about US politics, even if the US military operates a couple of dozen bases and spy facilities in that country, mostly free from local personnel or oversight of any kind (a detail especially poignant in 2020, when those facilities are exempt from the pandemic restrictions that have kept citizens out of the country for nine months and counting while the Prime Minister insults them).

scampus fugit (gyac), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 16:50 (four years ago)

The argument you keep returning to, and I don’t know if you realise you are making it, is that the tone of the argument is wrong, so essentially saying people should be nicer to you in order to get you on board. This comes across regardless of the context being such that if you are a younger person (and btw this is something I get from people in their twenties), they have a huge amount of contempt towards progressives in their 30s and 40s who haven’t got their shit together to sort out climate change and now the continued existence of the species itself is at risk. So, no, manners are not the thing to clutch your pearls over here.

scampus fugit (gyac), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 16:58 (four years ago)

ftr I am differentiating here between something like '(hearable and sensible leftist position)' and 'if you don't agree with (hearable and sensible leftist position) completely you're less than human'.

Also this is 0% to do with getting me on board (I am) or being nicer to me (IDGAF). It has 100% to do with growing a message, persuading those who aren't already on board, building a coalition, etc. If it's more important to preach to the choir than to actually effect change, then IDGI.

The thing that critics of activists don’t get is that they tried playing the “polite language” policy game and all it did was make them easier to ignore.

It wasn’t until they made folks uncomfortable that there was traction to do ANYTHING even if it wasn’t their full demands.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

The concept of that comic strip is eerily similar to a very short and somewhat...lovely?...story by Tobias Wolff https://public.wsu.edu/~bryanfry/Wolff,%20Bullet%20in%20the%20Brain.pdf

"Bi" Dong A Ban He Try (the table is the table), Wednesday, 16 December 2020 22:48 (four years ago)

ha, interesting coincidence - the character is a long-time recurring feature in the comedy magazine Viz*, but that one strip is so similar to the short story that one could totally imagine Wolff reading it and deciding to riff it on a type of pedant (or specific critic) that he personally loathed.



* based on the brother of founder/publisher and cartoonists Chris Donald and Simon Donald, diagnosed as aspie decades later, but compared to Mr Spock when they were growing up

huge rant (sic), Wednesday, 16 December 2020 23:08 (four years ago)

Absolutely!

I'm not a big fan of Wolff's writing, generally speaking, but I've taught that story a few times, and I've grown quite fond of it. Students love it, too.

the biggest problem I have with taytay is that she isn't even bad; she's even quite good sometimes, which makes it incredibly hard for me to just spew invective

imago, Tuesday, 22 December 2020 16:08 (four years ago)

by that i mean to say that in my subjective judgement her music is often relatively pleasant, if not often truly exciting, hence going off on one about her would have to involve me ignoring my actual opinions

imago, Tuesday, 22 December 2020 16:10 (four years ago)

thus we reach taytay impasse, where i essentially have to stop worrying and love the bomb

imago, Tuesday, 22 December 2020 16:12 (four years ago)

Same. There's a harmlessness about taytay's music that pre-disarms a lot of criticism; or rather, does not invite to go off on. There's some really good songs on both albums from this year, some mediocre and meh-songs, too. There aren't any real stakes, not like before it seems.

A Scampo Darkly (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 22 December 2020 16:20 (four years ago)

yeah. basically i won't go cray-cray about taytay unless both her albums hit the top ten, at which point i'll have some serious questions

Anybody wondering what's up with Gamestop, think of it this way....

Say you borrow 5 grapes from your friend. They're juicy, ripe, delicious. He says he wants those grapes back in a week.

A WEEK. Pish. It's like he forgot that he hasn't given back the World According to Garp VHS you loaned him last September. "Return it *whenever*", you said. But you didn't mean literally "whenever". It's a turn of phrase. How long does it take to watch a two hour movie anyway?

You're angry about his moral turpitude. True, you didn't go to his own wife's funeral when she accidentally ate a hemlock burrito, but the fuckin' Pittsburgh Pirates were playing. What did he expect.

You were only planning to hold onto the grapes and admire them from afar. But the more you look at them, and the more you think about your asshole friend, you get other ideas.

He gave you five grapes. What if one of them walked away? An accounting error! Your cat ate it. He'd never be the wiser. Come on, it's just one grape

The thought hasn't even exited your head and that grape is already in your hairy mouth. Mmm. That was delicious.

Guilt seeps in. "He's gonna know what I did", you think. "What have I done?"

Oh, but it felt so GOOD. The sweet, acidic grape's juices are intoxicating. Surely, since you've already eaten one grape.... what's one more?

That's how it always starts. You remember your stint at Riker's and how it ended. It wasn't pretty, but you were nobody's bitch. But it took something from you that you won't get back.

You're so distracted, you don't even realize you're stuffing that second grape in your piehole. It tastes even better. This must be like Eve felt when she ate that apple. You wonder what your cousin Isaac is up to.

At this point, your hackles are down. You don't even need to convince yourself to eat the third. Oh, your friend will be getting this grape back Thursday, alright. In a... different form.

A Machiavellian grin crosses your face. You're *enjoying* this depravity. It was never about the "grapes", man. It's about life. And you're fuckin' living it.

Your heart skips a beat when your friend calls you. VIDEO CALL...ON MESSENGER. You answer, thinking you can play it off cool.

He asks you how the grapes are. "How should I know?", you reply, but your voice betrays your sinful eyes. "Does he suspect?", you wonder.

He casts a suspicious glare, then reminds you that he wants those grapes back in a week.

Oh, no. FUCK HIM.

You pull the first grape into frame. Then, the second. He asks where the other three have gone.

"I'll show YOU where they've gone", you shriek. To his horror, you're shoving one in your mouth...right in front of his eyes. You're not even ashamed. You WANT him to watch!

His eyes turn into dark blue pools of misery as he devour his last remaining grape. You stare at him, defiant. Fighting back tears, your friend asks you..."was it worth it?"

It's never worth it. But 'Nam changes a person.

In conclusion, I don't have any clue about stocks or short squeezes and would advise you are better off asking someone else.

If that's about my post, I agree that there's a fair amount of othering and racist language in the Just So Stories, though it still doesn't feel as deliberately malignant to me as Roald Dahl's stuff. Kipling was a product of his time, and definitely had some ingrained racism that shows up in the Just So Stories and some of the poems, but imo Kim, the Jungle Books, and many (though not all) of the Indian stories - the fiction that he put a lot of love and thought into - put him light-years ahead of other white Victorians on issues of race, religion, and culture.

Maybe I'm breaking an unwritten law of ilx (what Kipling would call an Error in the Fourth Dimension) by responding here, but I wrote two theses on Kipling, love talking about him, and don't want to come across as ignoring or downplaying his problematic side. I keep wanting to start a discussion about him in the Kipling thread, but I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested.

Kipling defended the Jallianwala Bagh / Amritsar massacre which even Churchill condemned so I can't believe his racial politics were better than most regardless of what else he wrote

Left, Thursday, 11 February 2021 20:10 (four years ago)

Kipling was a very strange, screwed-up, two-halves sort of person. His expressed political beliefs were very conservative; his fiction-writing was overall very progressive and compassionate. There's not a lot of overlap. If he were around today, he'd be one of those people with great long-form writing and a toxic Twitter personality.

Lily Dale, Thursday, 11 February 2021 20:24 (four years ago)

I cannot and will not defend Kipling as a person, or his racial politics. But good gravy, that writing. The cadence, the mannered looseness, the richness, the humor. It was an indelible part of my childhood and probably shapes some portion of how I think to this day.

It wasn't intended as a direct response to a particular post or specific line of discussion here, by Lily Dale or anyone. Hence, putting it here

As much as I like being called an absurd fantasist for calling this person’s behaviour what it is while they continue to tell us all that we’re the problem, there is really no point in people clutching their pearls itt without using the tools available to them.

sarahell, Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:26 (four years ago)

I really don't like pile ons against posters but considering my role in starting this mess, I am just stepping back and not fighting this battle.

sarahell, Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:28 (four years ago)

I'm sorry I had an incoherent meltdown in there, sarahell. I was trying to avoid it because it doesn't help anyone, but I just couldn't take it. Fwiw, I don't think anyone's mad at you now - I wasn't ever angry with you, just upset, and I get your explanation, it's cool.

But "my cruelty is feminist praxis" is the biggest load of bullshit and it needs to be called out. I am so tired and so miserable and it all feels so awful.

emil.y, Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:41 (four years ago)

Christine and gyac and emil.y and harbl are 100% otm in that thread and anyone with a passing familiarity with these posters will know it is, like, breathtakingly disingenuous to pretend that what they are objecting to are statements criticising cisheteropatriarchy and not yknow the things they say they are objecting to, viz the specific shitty behaviour of a consistently horrible and toxic person

xp otm again

jammy mcnullity (wins), Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:43 (four years ago)

Seconded Emily - Sarah, you apologised, and that’s all that needed to happen. That the person digging their heels in and arguing for their right to be cruel - and that some of us are abusive fantasists - is nothing to do with you.

Regularly causing pain to women and non-binary people seems to be fine if you can caricature them as servants of the kyriarchy. But we're not.

emil.y, Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:48 (four years ago)

Why certainly, I see no barriers in conducting a good faith discussion with someone who’s attacked my perception of reality and my mental stability!

scampless, rattled and puce (gyac), Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:48 (four years ago)

This was about human decency imo. You all were right to call it out.

I was going to mention how the publisher's choice for the Dutch translation of Amanda Gorman's poem is a transgender person who has Amanda's team's approval - but the translator isn't black. So a fuss was started by a black journalist, the eager pitchfork crowd got in on the action, and now the transgender translator has refused the job. - but what's the point, nothing useful ever comes from news like this.

My least favorite argumentative technique I see online is the one where someone makes a reasonable and fairly straightforward request or suggestion, only to have someone respond by suggesting that they actually meant a blown out of proportion version of that request taken to a ridiculous extreme that tries to paint the original poster in a bad light. It’s a shitty, Fox News way of reframing a discussion to put someone unnecessarily on the defensive and it drives me batshit to see it, even on ilx, as often as I do.

Like,
Poster A: I wish there were two more episodes of Succession last season.

Poster B: I can’t believe you think that hbo should cancel every other show they have in production just to refocus their entire operation on one series.

Alright, calm. This reminds me of that embarrassing moment when I was very young and someone kindly bragged about how fast I could run in front of me, which inspired me to then take off and run super fast around the yard in front of them. When I got back to where I started they asked "...what the heck are you doing?" and I quickly learned it's NAGL to immediately "demonstrate" something someone praises you for, like you might see during a roll call of superheroes in a cartoon.

honestly reading articles like this raises my blood pressure because it doesn't explain the full context of the ruling, and most journalists understand this stuff very poorly to begin with. i can imagine even a more decent judge than this one saying that if there is evidence presented that one of the victims did commit arson, you can refer to them as an arsonist in argument or questioning. they do not need to be convicted of arson. often the victim's behavior is relevant in a self defense case and not much is required to be able to introduce it.

fyi there are special rules in sexual assault trials that do not allow negative character evidence to be used against an alleged sexual assault victim

A previous housemate at the house in France, who I met briefly, had a cat that they were trying to transition to indoor apartment life after it had been indoor-outdoor. It did not go well. They ended up posting an ad trying to give away the cat with the header "Chat suffit!" I don't think that approach was successful.

imago, Friday, 7 January 2022 20:00 (three years ago)

good threads are generally conversational, but they do still tend to have more discontinuities and disruptions than an irl conversation. they also stop and start, often requiring a series of false prompts before one post finally gets the conversational part going again. i guess I'm saying there's a folder-conversation spectrum that each thread tends to fall on.

Ssäm Sauce | Martha Stewart (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 7 January 2022 21:10 (three years ago)

i mean, yeah, Sufjan, you're right -- there are certain ilx threads that are definitely folder like and their intent is such and there isn't really too much conflict or fraught-ness about it. But like, coping with covid is different than album covers with little people in someone's hair

sarahell, Friday, 7 January 2022 21:18 (three years ago)

right, but that's the other folder-like extreme. even the more conversational threads will have some anecdotes thrown out and ignored. when someone posts about a spotify bug on their phone, they are certainly hoping to have a conversation* about it. it just isn't going to happen every time, so the thread looks like a log of spotify app issues.

imago, Friday, 4 March 2022 15:33 (three years ago)

OEO, yes, I think I personally was better off when "the news" meant the thump of the newspaper on my doorstep.

Nothing was really real until I read it in the paper. And things that happened after the paper went to press didn't reach me until the next day's doorstep-thump. Never watched TV news and probably never will

I can't say that this is an ethical position, and am not claiming any kind of moral superiority to consuming the news in that way. But given that I can't even begin to fix my own state, there's no way that my constant awareness of events will positively affect my nation or my world.

Hence, being updated constantly cannot plausibly be presented to me as an unalloyed moral good. The people of Ukraine (or Syria, or East Timor) are not aided in any way by my agony over their plight.

mardheamac (gyac), Tuesday, 8 March 2022 19:26 (three years ago)

The risk isn’t really a future land grab, imo, it’s that any settlement along those lines would necessarily require Russia to exercise a measure of control over all future Ukrainian governments, either through some kind of electoral mechanism similar to Lebanon or Bosnia where power will, constitutionally, always be split between factions (with Russia controlling one of the factions) or through an overt threat of war any time a Ukrainian government did anything considered to be against the spirit of the negotiated peace. Neither of those things would lead to any form of domestic stability.

Zelenskiy needs a plausible peace he can sell domestically or Ukraine would have to move to something close to the Belarus model of no real democracy and enormous internal repression.

many other posters seemed capable of moving the discussion to NV's thread. it in fact successfully moved there, and there were multiple responses to posts that were on the other thread.

this is a less exciting light signaling technological glitch, but it seems like the sensor-driven traffic light programming at the intersection near my house reverts to an older program sometimes.

for the first 10 years i lived there, at one point there were two left turn lanes (to get on the road that takes you to the freeway) and one lane going straight.

this was when my street was an unremarkable residential street and there wasn't a large bougie supermarket on the corner.

the traffic signals at that point had sensors such that the left turn signal would activate if your vehicle was in the two left lanes.

when the bougie supermarket went in, only the leftmost of the three lanes remained a left turn lane, and the middle lane went from being a left turn lane into a lane that goes straight. now, if you are in far left lane, you will get a left turn signal; if you are in the middle and right lane, you will get a green to go straight. This is as it should be.

However, at various points in time the signaling system must encounter an error and revert to its earlier programming, where if you are in the middle lane -- now a lane that goes straight -- and there aren't any cars in the right lane -- which has always been a lane that goes straight -- you will get a left turn signal, but not a green to go straight. in other words, you will sit at that intersection waiting for the light to turn green such that you can go straight and the light will not turn green (because it thinks you are in a left turn only lane) -- until a car pulls up in the right lane.

depending on the time of day, you could be waiting numerous cycles for a car to pull up in the right lane and be released from the Beckett-esque traffic signal. sometimes cars will just run the light because they feel like it should have been their turn already. I have found that the way to get a green light when the old traffic signal program kicks in is to put your car in reverse, back up for a few seconds, then pull into the right lane, and then the light will turn green the next cycle.

Through the '80s, the earnestness/seriousness became their schtick, and came across as slickly (and arguably cynically) choreographed as anything by "pop" artists that some U2 fans dismissed as lightweight (There's probably a parallel between '60s Doors fans and '80s U2 fans, eschewing the Monkees/Madonna in favor of the Deep Meaningful Music of the Doors/U2). Even fans found Rattle & Hum (the movie mostly, but parts of the record) insufferable, so no matter how cringey the humor on the ZooTV tour was, it was a welcome relief from "we're stealin' it back!"

Mostly because I don't want to read a thousand articles about "Biden's package."

Fifty Centaur (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 14 April 2022 22:12 (three years ago)

"Biden's package" sounds like a euphemism for something I don't want to envision.

Let's disco dance, Hammurabi! (Austin), Sunday, 15 May 2022 02:09 (three years ago)

awwww. you're a sweetie, Austin.

I was a really different person when I first came here - and I don't know where that was, when that was, my memory, it's not just bad, it _cheats_. Like you, I've learned a lot from folks on this board, and honestly a lot of how I've learned it is by saying stupid shit by people who didn't deserve to have my bullshit thrown in their face. And they didn't always take it well, and I didn't always take their responses to my bullshit well, but I learned.

I get the impression you're learning a lot about yourself, and I am honestly so fucking here for that shit, always. My biggest frustration about myself was that for a long time there were some questions that I didn't feel like I had the _right_ to ask, that it would be _offensive_ to ask people about their own experiences, and I was completely 100% wrong about that. So, open invite, any questions you want to ask, even the really stupid ones like "Are you gonna get your dick cut off?", I'm here for it (because it's not like I never had questions, or worse, unquestioned _assumptions_, that were exactly that fucking stupid, and I had to learn somehow).

no worries, i know people can come at it from really different headspaces :) parenthood is a particularly fraught subject in transfem spaces. people use the fact that a lot of transition stuff leads to infertility as a pretext to invalidate our identities - which doubly hurts because a lot of trans women deeply wish we could conceive and bear children :(

i mean, i get where they're coming from. reducing the entirety of a woman's gender to her reproductive capacity is obviously an essential component of empowering women through feminism!

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 18 May 2022 17:28 (three years ago)

for a long time now, maybe as far back as janice raymond in 1979, terfs have been calling trans women who have had bottom surgery "eunuchs". to do so is, of course, utterly factually incorrect. there are plenty of people who self-id as eunuchs. eunuchs are not the same thing as trans women. eunuchs are mostly male-presenting, don't identify as women, have no desire for feminizing hrt. being a eunuch is fine, but i'm fucking obviously not one. it still really got under my skin when they did that, because i didn't know any better, because transphobes weaponize public ignorance against us, that's how they're effective. i was really afraid that no matter what i did, even if i got bottom surgery, i could never be a "real" woman - at best i'd be an incomplete man (which, again, isn't how i see eunuchs now - i was more ignorant at the time).

there's so much about transphobia that is really absurd to me. bottom surgery isn't what makes me or anyone else a woman, but for transphobes to insist that i am still some variety of man when i am in fact so committed to not being a man that i've undergone an elective penectomy seems especially perverse. don't get me wrong, it's not like having it done was all that big a deal, the stupid thing isn't just worth all the fuss people make over it, not that _important, but it took a fair amount of effort on my part to get it done and the procedure caused me considerable (in retrospect highly exaggerated) anxiety beforehand.

the whole concept of "irl", i spent like two years only talking to one other person irl so... idk. strict divides between online and in-person discourse don't work for me.

mostly it's like _jargon_, leftist _jargon_, i mean where the hell do people use the word "cisheteronormativity" in person, right? well, anywhere you're in person with me, because it's a word that's relevant to my life, i use that word a lot. just because leftist debates are largely irrelevant to people outside leftist circles doesn't mean those disputes are, like, these bitter fights over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin or some shit that's presumably removed from reality.

and then to take the term 'tankie' and generalize about jargon, like 'tankie' isn't very different from a word like 'cisheteronormativity,' completely missing the the fact that 'tankie' is a derogatory term applied to communists by other people... like, you're so eager to get from what i said to ... you... that you don't mind losing a few contextual frames to speed up the process.

anyway, if you have a problem with me, you can tell me straight up instead of twisting my words to your own ends ok?

See, I recognise that this is often the case now, but as an addendum to my post about using it irl I should point out that 'tankie' does not and should not mean 'communist'. Tankies are Stalin supporters/authoritarian regime apologists.

in the late 50s in the uk it was an crit applied across a division within uk communism, of those in favour of the crushing of the hungarian uprising by those dismayed by said crushing(upshot was primarily the emergence of the uk new left: e.p.thompson, stuart hall, perry anderson etc)

in the 80s in the uk it was an crit applied across division within the far left, of those of the invasion of afghanistan by those critical of the soviet regime in various ways
(upshot was a second fracture of the uk communist party -- conservativew wing vs eurocommuists -- and an intensified hostility towards both wings of same from the many flavours of trots, the latter being the species of far left org that best articulated the aftermath of may 1968, linking the prague spring to solidarnosc as models of a revived left)

from the 90s in the uk it began to break free of intra-communist discourse, as ppl formerly on the far left as students began to find their feet in the non-communist parliamentary left and used it to mock the inablity of the old far left to "modernise" (modernise being a term with a variety of meanings in the event: the kpunk wing of the far left were just as scornful of the traditional far left as the newly careetist nu-centre were, and tankie was a term often deployed in that scorn)

since the 00s it has increasingly simply een an online insult -- and occasional an ironised online self-identification -- which has broken fully free of uk secatrian parochialism and could often honestly just be swapped out for "bot" (or "trot") for a particular kind of teenage channer trolling complete with left-informed wojacks and etc. it no longer applies to membership of anything resembling a political party of organisation that a 56-er tankie would recognise as left politics at all -- and you more and more hear it as a dismissal in the mouths of ppl not remotely on the left (at which point it doesn't really overlap with the meanings and implications a lefty with a sense of history probably hears in it)

a tankie walks into a rally and says, "let's find another rally. this one's full of tankies!"

Herby Dutch Baby (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 13 June 2022 19:59 (three years ago)

since the 00s it has increasingly simply een an online insult -- and occasional an ironised online self-identification -- which has broken fully free of uk secatrian parochialism and could often honestly just be swapped out for "bot" (or "trot") for a particular kind of teenage channer trolling complete with left-informed wojacks and etc. it no longer applies to membership of anything resembling a political party of organisation that a 56-er tankie would recognise as left politics at all -- and you more and more hear it as a dismissal in the mouths of ppl not remotely on the left (at which point it doesn't really overlap with the meanings and implications a lefty with a sense of history probably hears in it)

I first learned it in anarchist circles as an insulting reference to Maoists, and never having looked the etymology of the term up, always assumed it had to do with Tiananmen Square. There's an anarchist group here in Philly, I think, that has put up some stickers that have the iconic shot of the tank and the man in Tiananmen, with the words "ALWAYS AGAINST THE TANKS," which has a nice if obvious double meaning.

he looks like wile e coyote in my mind right now. but like a hyper realistic version and i can see all of the bacteria festering around the corners of his mouth. he just kind of walks around thrusting his scrawny, also very disease-infected pelvis upwards and around as he saunters. he tries to make it seem like he's lost control of his own physical movements, but you know it's all an act.

i'm writing about a complicated situation where i'm not necessarily in the right, like, i'm deliberately making myself vulnerable and not portraying myself as someone who is wise and knows everything, and you're asking me if i might possibly be wrong here, yeah, that's the underlying point i'm trying to get it, i _don't_ know everything and i _do_ get it wrong sometimes and there is a good argument that i got it wrong here. i'm definitely open to, like, particularly if someone who _is_ of romani origin feels _comfortable_, like, nobody's _obligated_ to do it, but if somebody with lived experience that i don't feels comfortable educating me on how i got it wrong, i'm really open to that!

Many of the actors who play Moon family members do not have specifically Mancunian English accents: Anthony LaPaglia and Richard E. Grant, who portray two of Daphne's brothers, were not even born in the United Kingdom (LaPaglia is Australian, and Grant was born in Eswatini). This apparent discrepancy is never addressed on the show, but may be taken as an in-joke (see below).

yeah I agree with that, I'm just a) wondering about the implications of the thing gyac quoted about "not UK born" like how much does that really matter/explain? and b) wondering if I've missed that Grant can't even do a posh English accent, which would be surprising to me but I certainly don't have the ear for noticing it

grant's wikipedia has a paragraph on his accent: tl;dr he grew up in a colonial subculture where the posh english of the 40s and 50s was still the norm until the 80s, and when he arrived in the uk in the 80s his resting speech reflected the pre-shift voicing (unspoken point: there was a noticeable vowel shift in british poshspeak in the 50s and 60s)

"they're callin again"

mark s, Sunday, 3 July 2022 10:02 (two years ago)

I think the reason Daphne is bad, increasingly so as the show progresses, is because at the beginning she's intentionally one-dimensional and unknowable, the joke about Niles being secretly in love with her is predicated on him barely knowing her and not having any real connection with her, she's like Kramer in the Seinfeld or Jim In Taxi, this person who pops up an makes quirky non-sequiturs. When she becomes part of the family they get rid of the quirks and she just ends up being one-dimensional in a dull way.

I don't mind Daphne's family of cockney Mancunians though, in the same way you wouldn't complain about Inspector Clouseau or Rene from Allo Allo not being convincing portrayals of Frenchmen

Kate, I respect your attempts to keep it positive, but you are def not going to get me on board with “actually making fun of the Nazi website is transphobic”

― Whiney G. Weingarten

whiney you're a sweetie, i'm glad you respect my attempts to keep it positive but you make it hard sometimes lol, now i'm like "great now how am i going to do a good-faith reading of whiney's bad-faith reading of my post", shit the whole thought process behind that one line there is _so_ paradoxical and tangled up, like "i love how you keep it positive but i don't appreciate being called a transphobe"? i... what? like it wasn't a "positive" post, i was fairly directly critical of you, but my criticism wasn't that you were "transphobic" it was that your nth-dimensional sarcastic posts come off like you hate yourself just as much as the transphobic self-loathing 4chan teenage trans girls do? i thought i was pretty clear about that, maybe i'm communicating badly or something, i don't want to shit up austin's thread trying to figure out what your whole deal is, like you just pop in and say this really fucked up shit sniping from the sidelines like what you said to unperson there and i try and call you out on it and it's just like, this is just some non sequitur shit here, like, not just regular non sequitur shit, it's genuinely balletic, the way you use words is utterly gorgeous and really fucked up at the same time. i'm like awed and horrified and i'll probably wind up shaking my head and walking away because ultimately it is none of my business, you don't do this shit frequently enough for it to be a big deal, just these innocuous looking misery bombs you toss from time to time.

anyway i guess i'll post this to the subtweet thread because like i say i don't want to shit up austin's thread anymore and probably in a couple months you'll do this shit again, lather, rinse, repeat.

papal hotwife (milo z), Sunday, 31 July 2022 07:42 (two years ago)

two weeks pass...

Good lord, I never even posted on this thread.

I didn't return to another thread because of having posts wildly misread or misrepresented and vast unfounded assumptions being made about me and where I'm coming from. Even if not a misunderstanding but really a disagreement** then still a completely nasty way of sermonising about "me" to the room (oh see how simply perfect thee cis male is and hees need to defend thee actions of thee comedy willy man because that's what all cis men want to see most and want license to do and that's the joke and hee doesn't get it) oh fuck off. I don't blame that person for being so confused and nasty, but are people actually rallying around that shit?

I didn't read it all to be honest and I didn't want to return to see if my no doubt wildly innadequate and possibly innacurate attempt to clarify with as little hostility as I could manage (yes, I had a reaction to being demonised and dehumanised, what hypocrite I have feelings!) was taken in good faith. I AM sensitive to what I think is clear and direct being misread or things being read into / projected on, partly because as an autistic person (undiagnosed except by myself) this is something I've lived with all my life. I can end up second guessing whether I've expressed something properly or wonder if it's fair that it was misread. This is also typically used against us and has been in abusive ways and maybe if I bring up PTSD I know what I'm talking about from personal experience. Or rather, CPTSD. But CPTSD typically doesn't have a single identificable incident, it's a million maddening cuts and tripple binds imposed by people that should be nurturing you. To a very large extent I worked my way out of the "mad" part with pechedlics and what have you (certainly no "professional" help), but trauma lives in the body and that still takes work.

But I don't think I'm that shit at context and there it was being switched on me dishonestly, and I was being told I was talking about things and people I (clearly, obviously as far as I was concerned) wasn't or wouldn't have been. But yes context has layers and can shift and can be approached differently by autistic people and neurotypical people and among people generally to some extent. This feels gaslighty and abusive, and when doubled down on I really have to question it. There is that one poster who does make me thing of narcissitic abuse. Maybe they get away with it by claiming certain marginalised or protected status; we're supposed to be interested in and sensitive to trans exeprience (and I am and try to be), but then maybe when they (singular) say something like "we are a quantum leap in the dick joke" it's not a curious insight or a funny but simply grandiosity. 'I'm really great because of my relationship with my penis. These pathetic cis men wouldn't have the balls to think about having them removed.' Go on tell me that's transphobia. It's not, it's abusive bullying fragile narcissist phobia maybe.

There is possibly quite a lot to say, and maybe I will, maybe it's necessary, but I don't have or want to devote the energy and time necessary to put it into words. Most of you don't know much about me because I don't like to discuss personal stuff much here. And it doesn't exactly feel like there is much regard for my experience, undertandably I'm not close to many posters here, I keep it farily superficial, and also I don't have status as a protected category. Hey, I'm tring to push the autistic thing. C'mon, that must afford me a little bit of consideration as a human being who doesn't have a perfectly easy life and might even be worth trying to hear?

* for some reason I expect better here at least in terms of reasoning ability and generosity in trying to see what people are not talking about, and generally there isn't too much craziness. But I'm not well equipped to deal with people suddenly turning. Then again I'm reminded that a similar "miscommunicatoin" happened before which also resulted in the person bizarrely assuing something was about them and saying it didn't apply to them (so yeah.. then maybe that's a clue that it wasn't?) and some passive aggressive weirdness when I explained it clearly wasn't.

** You really believe that "feeling unsafe" is identical with "being at risk of physical harm" and to say otherwise is heresy. And yes they can be correlated, I'm not a fucking idiot, but that doesn't mean they are the same. And a performance crossing a line into something that is unnaceptable in other contexts (or even in that context for the sake of argument) is also not identical with a present physical risk. And yes there was more to what I was sayng as well but apparently people lose the ability to follow a few very simple steps when they're so incensed by what they imagine they've read. And all situations are "potentialy dangerous". The room I'm sitting in (i.e. my home) is potentially dangerous and would be even if it wasn't for the mold and the possible asbestos and the complete lack of fire exits. This is facile of course, but apprently here we are.

Mainly (or entirely really) I was question the invoking of the notion of "felt unsafety" and the implications of that in relation to art. I wasn't saying ooh they shouldn't have cancelled free speech censorship etc. In a statment by the venue. They used that, do they think this in itself justifies license being withdrawn? They could have said "patrons had reason to believe it was not safe to remain", but that would be to imply or conceded that their venue was unsafe, rather than putting the onus on people's feelings. Maybe it's nothing but I'm sensitive to the language used and that's what it was for me. It's an autistic thing. I wasn't saying that people didn't feel what they felt. Come on for fuck's sake. People haven't demonstrated much will to engage in good faith and respectfully, to say the least.

I hope at least some people could see that and that in some way this drivel lands with them. That's all I hope for. I know expressing anger in this incoherent post isn't likely to achieve much else. I've probably failed to edit out something truly indefensible and beyond the pale in my desire to do something else, and I've definttley not taken the time to make sure everything is qualified to the hilt so it'll be easy for the people who've made up their minds to convince others that I'm invalid and you can FP me off the board. Oh and i mentioned someone who talks about their experience being trans all the time being trans so that's a proper hate crime. Call the cops, rad lefts.

sure I do not have a specific beef with whiney (he can be a borderline edgelord at times but he hasn't really offended me yet) it was the other thing which set me off (my abrasive manner isn't necessarily unrelated to autism but I'd hate for my contributions to be dismissed or excused on those grounds rather than for their content or contextual appropriateness which is always fair game for criticism) (and that wasn't the worst thing but I'm trying to avoid white knighting for people who probably don't want or need it)

oh, if we're talking about whiney's pic, the nerds whiney tends to have a go at are the alt-right 4chan types. he's been pretty clear and explicit that he's not going after folks like us when he does stuff like that. a lot of my taste in music genuinely is /mu/-core, as filtered through rym, so it sometimes feels a bit too close to the bone, but we are legit not the targets.

i think most guys don't photograph or send people pictures of their dicks, but the people who do it _really_ get into it.

i find i appreciate cocks more now that i don't have one myself, particularly if the photos are _consensually_ shared. i don't really get turned _on_ by genital photography and never have, but sometimes someone will post a picture of their dick and i'll just be like, gee, that's a really good-looking dick. i'm particularly appreciative of meta dicks. i think metas are super underrated. i understand _why_ metas get stigmatized, but honestly i think they look really damn good.

guys who send unsolicited dick pics, though... even if they're nice dicks, they generally just don't take the time and effort to make the pictures look good. like come on, at least take some pride in your appearance. clean the damn mirror first.

There's a lot about what is supposedly common hetero male behavior that I don't get. Dick pics is one, going to strip clubs is another, hell, cheating on one's SO. I've been married for almost 30 years. For five of those years I worked in the porn industry. In other jobs, I have supervised young female interns and employees. I've never hit on any of them; I've never been to a strip club; I've never had the urge to make any kind of move in the direction of someone I'm not married to. It's not like I learned by example, either; my dad left my mom when I was 11. It's just...not how I'm wired.

when the Louis CK story broke I remember a lot of people expressing bewilderment at why anyone would behave in such a way, but but it seemed obvious to me that it was based in self-loathing and fear, the thought process is something like 'I am attracted to this woman - I fear that if she knew I was attracted to her then she would be horrified and disgusted, and this makes me feel bad and powerless - I will intentionally horrify and disgust her by doing something horrifying and disgusting, therefore I *chose* to make her disgusted, I am the one with the power and the agency' - the fear motivating him is that she would be disgusted anyway, even if he didn't expose himself. I have to assume the psychology behind sending unsolicited/obviously unwanted dick pics is something similar, even if the senders are not necessarily consciously aware of this themselves?

NB I have never sent an unsolicited dick pic or exposed myself to anyone, this is just a theory, but you see this patten often enough in other areas of life - it can be cathartic to act out your fears and anxieties in a 'safe' environment where you are ultimately in control, that's part of the reason why people like horror movies and true crime stuff, though obviously that's different from using other people as non-consensual props in this process.

i understand a whole lot about subconscious self-sabotage, but i also have a tendency to... make judgements about other people's motivations that assume they have the same motivations as me. that's one of the reasons i'm pretty careful about trying to understand other people's reasons for things. it has a lot of bearing on whether we view what they did as understandable and human or as alien and monstrous.

marilyn manson, for instance, marilyn manson sort of horrifies me for different reasons than maybe other people are horrified by him. you read the stories and there's this whole lurid ritual which i guess maybe looks to some people like something out of suspiria, like he might as well have had a random room full of barbed wire somewhere, and i hear about it and i'm like "jesus fuck why do people in the bdsm scene never take into account _systemic power imbalances_ when negotiating consent, this is _exactly_ why i'm not going out to kink clubs these days" - it's horrifying not because it's so lurid, but because i've seen similar things happen _so many times_.

it has a lot of bearing on whether we view what they did as understandable and human or as alien and monstrous.

from my perspective anything a human does is human by definition and is almost always understandable, at least to some degree, if enough thought is devoted to understanding how it arose. but understanding is different than condoning or even neutrality, because human minds are capable of anything and everything up to the furthest limits of our imagining, including the purest cruelty and crimes against life itself. within the seething chaos that is humankind these things happen every day.

stop talking abt coronation chicken ffs it is literally my favourite off-the-shelf food and i want some now

mark s, Saturday, 10 September 2022 10:32 (two years ago)

yeah coronation chicken is the best thing to have come out of the reign, pret used to do a good one before they went shit sometime in the last 20 years. unfortunately supermarkets seem to put a load of spinach in there these days for some reason, cannot recommend a single one right now. Morrisons actually had the gall to put chopped green peppers in there, this was about 15 years ago but I have not forgotten.

I used to like green bell peppers on pizza but i don't think i ever had em as the only topping, there were always onions and sometimes mushrooms and olives.

i usually end up buying an orange pepper "for a change" when i go into the store thinking i want a red one. the orange ones used to be prohibitively expensive but now they cost the same. i think ultimately the red ones are still my favorite but i need a break.

had some gross soups and stews that would have been fine without the green bell peppers. but also some amazing veggie paella that would have been pretty meh without em

has anyone tried making roasted green pepper sauce for pasta? could be good.

kinder, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 15:22 (two years ago)

xps yeah i've used black mustard seed a lot in e.g. saag aloo and various dals, i like it a lot but haven't really cooked with the yellow variety. for indian recipes that call for roughly equal parts coriander, cumin and/or mustard seed, i usually half the amount of coriander or skip it entirely. the exception was for Madhur Jaffrey's chana masala spice which is excellent (i usually prefer Julie Sahni's recipes), i got addicted to that blend briefly and used it in everything but the coriander in it started making me feel ill.

fgti thanks i am always looking for vegan recipes that are unusual or different, this one looks easy and cheap enough to risk it with the coriander so i'll give it a try

green peppers in southeast Asian curries are great too.

what is everyone's fave green lentil dish or recipe? They are versatile and fun to experiment with, but just looking for some cooking discipline here!

calzino, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 22:51 (two years ago)

I use green lentils to make fake meat pies. Yum. I was into getting the Puy lentils for it but aero shamed me for it— “Puy” is indicative of the gentrifying kind of vegetarianism

The recipe is basically the Delia Smith “fake pork pot pie” recipe but I triple the amount of sage and add fennel seeds to the sauté. The result has the same flavour profile as Beyond Meat, but tastes better and fresher.

I skip her crumbly English pastry method and do Quebec tourtiere instead for it

And serve it with ketchup

I like the idea of a Bombay Potatoes

I think green lentils, if they're not overcooked, can serve as a base for a vegetable salad

Xp explain the puy lentils bit?!

Osama bin Chinese (gyac), Tuesday, 13 September 2022 23:34 (two years ago)

Idk! I think they just associated them with overpriced veg boîtes or something. They are nice when cooked to doneness and made into a salad. Superfluous when they’re effectively the base for a meat pie

flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 23:35 (two years ago)

Green lentil soup spiked with lots of lemon is one of the best soups imo

flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 23:36 (two years ago)

Oh ok, I’m not aware of that, they are just French lentils that taste nice! They are a protected origin product so if they’re more expensive that’s why. But they are legit different in taste and texture iirc?

Osama bin Chinese (gyac), Tuesday, 13 September 2022 23:37 (two years ago)

Puy lentils, or lentilles du Puy, are French lentils that have been grown in the Puy region of central France. The variety is the same, but since they are grown in this distinct place (which has volcanic soil) the taste is slightly different — it's even more peppery and flinty.

ah I see why the Puy lentils are more suited to fake meat flavours

calzino, Tuesday, 13 September 2022 23:39 (two years ago)

Side note: when I was in Chicago I was reading a thing about deep dish pizza on here and aero specifically recommended the deep dish pizza called The Lou at Lou Malnatis, which was amazing, so I take his food opinions seriously!

Osama bin Chinese (gyac), Tuesday, 13 September 2022 23:40 (two years ago)

Yes, fgti, i did wonder if i've just been roasting the coriander improperly. I dry roast and grind it of course, just not sure i've got the heat level and timing down. The recipe you linked said it'll pop like mustard seed when it's done, which hasn't been my experience.

I usually use French/green lentils to make adas polow which is basically Persian kichari topped with dates and raisins. this recipe is very similar to the way i make it (family recipe) except i mix in 2/3rds bunch of chopped fresh mint with the rice before steaming it.

from what i understand if you are one of those people it's virtually impossible to like it anyway -- my gf is one and if cilantro even brushed something she ate, it's like it was rubbed with an actual bar of soap. it's overwhelming apparently.

― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Tuesday, September 13, 2022 1:35 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

not the case here - sometimes it’s fine, sometimes it’s very soapy, usually somewhere in between (so most of the time it’s “it’s a bit soapy yeah but not enough to stop me from eating this otherwise delicious tacos”)

scanner darkly, Thursday, 15 September 2022 01:50 (two years ago)

Theres a part if me that’s like “define ‘soapy’”? Weird perfumey floral soap taste? Or like, weird slick stinging mouthfeel taste?

I’m so thankful I enjoy cilantro so much it’s so available and POW! for me.

i'm intentionally vague, intending to front multitudes (Hunt3r), Thursday, 15 September 2022 16:09 (two years ago)

I used to really hate cilantro, soapy taste etc, but a few years ago my attitude changed and I'm cool with it now. I honestly don't know if my chemistry changed, if I acclimated myself to the taste after occasional exposure, or I just talked myself into a new attitude, but it sure works on tacos el pastor.

I don't understand either, because I don't know what soap tastes like. Maybe I'd like it if I tried it especially if it tastes like cilantro.

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 15 September 2022 18:21 (two years ago)

I'd say I can still pick up a faint soapiness but it's more vegetal now. It's slightly soapy in a way that works in the usual dishes where I encounter it (tacos, pho).

xyzzz, fwiw i read yr post as insulting because middlebrow is actually an insult, in most contexts. tho we disagree sometimes i really value many of your posts , even if you dislike me and my posts. we can’t all be friends, that’s fine!

Hi table, I was just teasing you. I found it a tad annoying you were like "eat my ass" in the passive aggressive thread.

Fwiw, I like some of your posts too, your enthusiasm for Prynne and passion for poetry.

There’s no mystic moment involved just
that we are
is how, each
severally, we’re
carried into
the wind which makes no decision and is
a tide, not taken. I saw it
and love is
when, how &
because we
do: you
could call it Ierusalem or feel it
as you walk, even quite jauntily, over the grass.

not really the thread for it, but i don't really use midbrow as an insult, more as a sociological (or bourdieuvian) descriptor for taste or for critical strategies and habits

my comment on mckuen was literal observed fact: here's a poet i've never read or heard a line by (and have no investment in in any direction) who since the 70s i've only ever encountered by name being denounced by midbrow commentators as (for this reason or that) by no means it

this is the kind of thing i find funny (time for bourdieu to write abt me eh)

mark s, Tuesday, 1 November 2022 16:32 (two years ago)

aw i like rod mckuen, i've only heard a record or two, he's cozy imo, nothing wrong with that also imo.

reminds me of my journey from being disgusted by the comic strip cathy to ironically liking it to just plain liking it but i mean in small doses.

I certainly won't post this in gyac's popular baseball thread--and nothing to do with the excellent post that led me here--but I'm again amused by the disconnect whereby nostalgia for 1982 and no interest in the game today = "are you . . . me?", while nostalgia for 1977 and skepticism about aspects of the game today = jaded.

clemenza, Tuesday, 8 November 2022 23:08 (two years ago)

I don’t think that’s what that post meant. I talk to Mookieproof about modern baseball all the time, he does not like everything/everyone I like and vice versa, same goes for you. I guess cos I’m both new to the game and not American I know that I get really impatient with some of the long standing aspects of the game, and some stuff is genuinely archaic, that is very much not the case for Mookieproof though.

after several days on “the milk,” (gyac), Tuesday, 8 November 2022 23:14 (two years ago)

Oh, I know mookie sometimes criticizes the game today; he just seems to think that me not getting excited about a four-pitcher no-hitter crosses some imaginary line into jadedness (while dismissively brushing aside my nostalgia for Reggie's three HR).

clemenza, Tuesday, 8 November 2022 23:17 (two years ago)

There seems to be three sets of rules there: one for mookie, one for '82 Cardinals fans (again, this is not a knock at all on ymp), and one for me.

clemenza, Tuesday, 8 November 2022 23:18 (two years ago)

the 1982 cardinals were so fun that there really is a different set of rules. they had rookie willie mcgee - it broke baseball

nobody ever sat me down and gave me the talk about being black but then again i was raised by the white parent and grandparent. but was always obvious that i stood out because of how i looked in that nobody at primary school was the same colour as me and only one other pupil at secondary school. by the time i got to the age where i was out by myself wariness and watchfulness of my surroundings was second nature. which pubs you could go into or even walk past and which ones you couldn't. if going to a new place sensing when it was probably best to leave sharpish etc strangely the one aspect that completely passed me by and fortunately has had no bad consequences is that i was never particularly wary of the police, probably because not living in a city i barely ever saw them or interacted with them luckily.

It'd be a derail on the thread, but "in tune with their feelings and thoughts around sex, gender, and etc" is just _so_ far from my recollection of being a teenager.

Andrew Farrell, Saturday, 18 February 2023 17:09 (two years ago)

I probably should have clarified: one of the things that's constantly being thrown into anti-trans rhetoric is that kids are confused and are being unduly influenced/"groomed" by adults, which implies that kids are unaware and have no agency in regards to their own feelings and thoughts around the most intimate aspects of their lives.

But I was told CONSTANTLY as a teenager that I couldn't *possibly* know that I was gay, and all that this did was turn me into a closet-case anorexic who moved from eating disorders to uninhibited drug and alcohol abuse. I had to come out THREE TIMES, for the final time at the age of 23. I lost years of emotional and interpersonal development around intimacy and relationships, and only entered a more healthy relationship stage in my mid-30s under the threat of my own mortality.

The absolute disregard, disrespect, and delegitimization of teenagers' thoughts and feelings is a huge part of anti-lgbtq+ rhetoric, and when so-called "liberals" repeat these sorts of talking points, they're merely showing that they, too, don't actually care about children or the sanctity of life or their professed politics, but only about reinforcing cis heteropatriarchal power structures.

and when so-called "liberals" repeat these sorts of talking points, they're merely showing that they, too, don't actually care about children or the sanctity of life or their professed politics, but only about reinforcing cis heteropatriarchal power structures.

it revolves around this larger issue of how to determine when a person is entitled to agency and how it feels like that "magic age" gets further and further delayed, at least here in the US ... like increasing the age at when someone can drink alcohol or purchase cigarettes or attend kindergarten, which have some thoughtful, compassionate arguments in favor of the delay, but these things are also coming from this place of protection and restriction of agency ... and I disagree with the statement that the "liberals" "don't actually care about children" ... just that the ways they are "caring" are fucked up in this context.

true "impact" vs "intent" is key here

― sarahell

speaking for myself good intent isn't a mitigating factor. if anything stuff like the new york times article has way more impact on me than whatever bullshit tucker carlson is saying on his show this week. i don't talk to my racist aunt who pretends to be a "principled conservative". i talk to and care about my liberal relatives who read the new york times and are influenced by what's in the new york times, and i'm not keen on the prospect of having to justify my existence to them or waste my time trying to debunk this week's version of the same bullshit disingenuous talking points about sports, bathrooms, etc. i saw julia serano, who has devoted a great deal of her career to educating people on these issues and debunking this nonsense, has finally just thrown up her hands and said "fuck it, bingo meme".

as much as we like to talk about "self-determination" the truth is that if that's all it took, i would have transitioned 25 years ago. we need cis allies. we need support. we need recognition. those of us who don't get that support, who don't have the opportunity to address our dysphoria through gender-affirming treatment... well, all of us know what the other option is. and with liberals... it feels like that support _is_ always conditional, that we perpetually have to keep justifying our existence to them. a lot of the liberals i know, they don't want to be on my side, they want to be on _everyone's_ side. that attitude doesn't do me any fucking good.

but if you're for me and against the people who want me dead, are you really a liberal at all? or are you _something else_?

Kate (rushomancy), Saturday, 18 February 2023 19:44 (two years ago)

I think that kind of contradiction (in various forms) is inherent to liberalism and part of why it feels some combination of ineffectual and complicit in the face of right wing terror, the history of liberals tolerating/advocating awful illiberal ideas and policies is pretty much the history of liberalism

so much of liberalism is about mitigating guilt ime. protecting white goodness/innocence essentially. i think that impulse explains a lot of the helicopter / protective parenting too. there isn't a principled thesis or viewpoint on anything behind it & no honest "chips in the game" so to speak. that, in some ways, is more dangerous than people who have a clear identity or vision they stand for, even if it's of the fascist variety.

The problem with liberalism is its identification with pluralism: liberals want Every Voice Heard, in part because they can pat their own backs and because increased newspaper/mag subscriptions = pluralism.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Saturday, 18 February 2023 20:26 (two years ago)

thinking about it my issues with liberalism run deeper than concern over having to justify my existence to my rich liberal relatives. i honestly believe that the single biggest obstacle to my transition was my internalized liberalism. it wasn't until my liberal beliefs had been shattered that i was able to justify my existence to _myself_.

i think map's description of how liberalism worked for me is essentially accurate. it kept me in a state of "white innocence", which is to say ignorance. for me, the events of 2016 shattered that belief system. i had a hard fucking time dealing with it. part of this artificial state of innocence was the belief that donald trump absolutely was not going to be the next president. i was invested enough in this idea that in the event he won, i planned to kill myself. my internalized liberalism actually ran that deep, that i was willing to go full fucking nero decree over it.

anyway, i didn't, but the experience shocked me into needing to confront, for the first time, the question of who i was and who i wanted to be. if we were all basically the same deep down, all basically wanted the same stuff, than i didn't have to actually consider my own beliefs and desires. i could let other people do that for me, and as long as i was a cishet white man, that was going to work out just fine for me.

in other words, the liberal beliefs i was taught coerced me into performing my own self-erasure. i'm not really a fan of that, personally. i don't feel like those values are basically good values.

Last two things I’ve “picked fights about” on ilx:

- unperson crowing about what a great feminist he was after using the term young pussy and telling me I just didn’t get why that was non offensive on a thread where the topic had moved to older men targeting much younger women
- someone trotting out that great old chestnut about a woman who was a prude being a secret slut, cos it’s not like that is an extremely questionable line of thought that’s played out badly before or anything

Every time I do this it takes time from the stuff I come on ilx to do, reading and responding to posts. How much would I like to spend my days on my baseball thread blogging about Barry Zito and never once feeling uneasy about stuff I’ve seen on here? Very much, my non-friend!

I don’t actually come here to start fights over basically nothing (cool that these things are nothing to you, whereas I have to make the choice “Is it worth saying something?” knowing that the person on the receiving end is most likely going to be a prick about it and that really it doesn’t bother most ilxors whether female ilxors are disturbed or annoyed at having to see this shit unchallenged in a shared space. I know this because so often I am the first person saying something, but it would be good to know that it’s my mental fortitude that’s the problem and not, for example, how comfortable I feel reading this stuff on a place that has been my internet home for over a decade. And believe me when I say that I am not just speaking for myself on this.

People leaning into their stale shticks and bumping threads nearly as old as I am to make fart jokes, fuck off. Maybe people should make better fucking posts or threads so there’d be more interesting activity on here and then you wouldn’t get tons of bored aggro people showing up to shit on this subject they clearly have zero interest in because it was made by a person they don’t like! Seriously, I manage to stay out of 99% threads that don’t interest me because I hope the threads will die, so why can’t the rest of you? That’s a serious question.

Just for people who don’t know/care, this relates to my boundaries thread, which is a thread I made about a topic that is important to me. There were several stupid posts where people started posting trollish things, I was irritated by this, LS posted this:


I find 'boundaries' a very amorphous concept. It feels useful, but I'm not sure the meaning stays the same across different contexts (personal, work, family, online/social media) where the sense of 'self' can differ.

For boundaries to work, you have to enforce them...

Many relationships seem to have more complicated arrangements than the Northern Ireland protocol, and with a greater variety of 'no hard border' and 'backstop' solutions, and protracted negotiations and threats to trigger unilateral dissolution.

So yeah. If LS and others have such a problem with such really banal pushback to the point of bringing it up almost a year later and repeatedly across other threads, I’m questioning whether I’m the one with the problem. Because it’s not the first time I’ve had someone hyperfocus on me after some mild pushback and I’m frankly pretty sick of it.

some people might not read this as "banal pushback" and genuinely feel hurt about being on the receiving end of a comment like that?

otoh, gyac is regularly making comments like that and your "stupidest" post is only one of a mind numbing quantity of stupid posts made by many other ilxors that she has pointed out in the past year or so. ... like one fart joke among hundreds of fart jokes, so the healthiest approach imo would be to just not rehash this over a year later? As opposed to piping up a whole year after the fact saying the equivalent of "what was wrong with my fart joke?"

Just so we’re clear, though, I don’t feel bad about calling a post stupid if the thread it was in had good discussion and also the NI comparison is unbelievably crass and tone deaf bearing in mind how poisonous the discourse is in the UK about it. LS reads the UK politics thread so I assume he knows I am Irish as I mention it in the context of xenophobia towards Irish people specifically in relation to the protocol and post Brexit issues. So actually, no, make a comment like that and stupid is very very very mild criticism.

But sure, I’m the problem and not the fact that I frequently comment on bigoted posts people make. Those are fine.

I didn't point this out in my comment because I didn't feel like it was worth stating something that should have been obvious to LS when they made that initial post ... I have made crass and tone deaf posts in my 14 year ilx history, and I am embarrassed by them, and I definitely have no desire to bring any of them back up. I would like to think that I either apologized for them or sat with the discomfort, and then tried to do better in the future.

I didn't participate in the conversation, but since you're asking and I actually thought about those posts after reading them, I'd say it's the chain you construct from general atmosphere in the UK/world to you being upset to assuming an individual poster is [sexist] to the lashing condescending tone of "you do realize you just did abc". It did seem like stopping a conversation by making the worst assumptions possible about someone or misunderstanding them on purpose, on a forum that is generally educated and sensitive and civil, and I wondered why you'd choose to do that and wonder why you seem to have gained something here by forcing an apology ? It's not like unperson is going around all day being unthoughtful and tactless, and I thought his post was clear.

The conversation I allude to has gone on for quite a long time especially among female ilxors, on and off here, and unperson has made comments like these before. In any case, please explain to me why using a derogatory term like “young pussy” should be acceptable in a shared space, and please explain to me exactly why me commenting on this is the issue and not the fact that people feel comfortable making those remarks.

better than whoever you are (gyac), Wednesday, 22 February 2023 12:49 (two years ago)

Why would I choose to do that? I don’t know, maybe I feel like a shared space on the internet shouldn’t tolerate that kind of stuff? It isn’t rocket science. I have to say, I didn’t foresee anyone defending that comment but ilx will always go lower, I guess.

better than whoever you are (gyac), Wednesday, 22 February 2023 12:50 (two years ago)

And just because I want people to see exactly what you’re defending:

But yeah, you’re completely right of course. The problem is that I didn’t keep my mouth shut and let the man talk about how non sexist he is. The problem is that my comment expressing this incredulity is lashing, you know, like there’s nothing dehumanising about reducing a woman to a descriptive as a literal hole. Nothing bad there, no, absolutely not.

Ofc the icing on the cake was that once a man piped up to say that he also had a problem with it then the tune changed entirely.

Looking at that thread unperson only apologized after Neanderthal said he was uncomfortable..xp indeed, an exchange which follows from the screenshot.

Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. If we're being fully frank (and why shouldn't we be?), I came away from our initial exchange thinking that your reading of my post was uncharitable (portrayal of sexism is not the same thing as sexism) and possibly rooted in one-to-one personal dislike. When someone else, someone I don't think actively dislikes me, expressed similar misgivings, I was forced to reconsider, and think okay, maybe I am the asshole here. But since you're still pounding the table about it more than a week later, I'm inclined to revert to my previous interpretation, which is that even if I did fuck up, you only called it out because you don't like me, or saw my post as useful for your larger project of shouting about The Grotesque Misogyny Of ILX.

jesssssssssus fuck guys, this is an ugly run of posts.

I mean it's no secret that gyac and I have not gotten along here in the past, but just about every grievance in this odd pile-on against her is unnecessarily hostile and bizarre (I mean, unperson was referred to, so I at least understand why he might have responded, though I thought the response was unnecessarily harsh). not to mention continuing to dredge up a year old post because you're sad that she didn't find it funny, Luna.

i'm a fuckup myself so i ain't saying I get it right often but yeesh, y'all, read back what you wrote in the sober light of day and realize how it looks and comes across. it's ugly. please understand what it looks like when a bunch of men are standing in line teeing off on a woman whose initial complaints were about sexism! i don't dislike anybody here but I dislike where this thread has gone.

Just to correct a small point: I didn't continue to dredge up a year old post. In fact what happened is that whenever I commented recently on a Gyac post, she would say 'is this because I didn't laugh at your joke?' [Answer: no - you're overthinking it - I just didn't like your post]

this is what it comes down to for me— i understood the rhetorical nature of what unperson was writing, but the outlook being mimicked is so toxic and fucked that i don’t see the reason to even mimic it.

i think gyac and unperson are valuable posters, for various reasons. hope there’s a way for this to not remain so ugly.

Goose Bigelow, Fowl Gigolo (the table is the table), Wednesday, 22 February 2023 22:49 (two years ago)

n theory I agree with NV, but I dislike the tone of posts that assume a superior attitude/greater moral or virtuous authority. And posts that attempt to thread-police like gyac's (pvic) are anathema to me.

ILM is a smorgasbord and it's better to take the foie gras and the wagyu beef with the pig swill rather than try to police it too tightly imo.

You’re right, nobody should realise ilx is a community and say anything about anyone’s behaviour. Better to silently drop off. Better to hold grudges about jokes that didn’t quite work for a year, that’s obviously completely normal.

I’m going to lay it out nice and clear for you because that’s a take and a half. And by the way, in case you’re like “why so many screenshots?”, well I imagine the various posts in this shitshow of a thread have provided some clarity.

your initial post in my boundaries thread:

What’s funniest is that in many ways I agree with the first part of VHS’s statement— I do think most of us here are fine enough people, and even if we’re bad or wrong or difficult at times, that’s life. But there are some ideological positions that have no truck with me and for which I assume the worst in people, and VHS has shown themselves to support those positions at one time or another. So be it.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 23 February 2023 16:45 (two years ago)

people struggle with taking L and apologizing (me included) because the other person is essential saying: "what you said wasn't acceptable and upset me - please do better" - perhaps harshly, but that's the essence of what is said.

and the person on the other end hears (even though it wasn't said or implied):

"You're an awful, irredeemable person, and I am done with you, and I am encouraging everybody else to never speak to you again as well - I hope you die alone!"

(which, ok, there are definitely bizarre wings of the internet, even social media, which treats every single conflict as earth-shattering and friendship-ending, but it's unfair to project that where it's not occurring)

the other person is essential saying: "what you said wasn't acceptable and upset me - please do better" - perhaps harshly, but that's the essence of what is said.

otm ... I know I have a tendency to blow up and lash out, and on ilx, I do think for the most part (in terms of contexts, not individual posters) ilx is good people, and when someone makes an "unacceptable" post, I try to de-escalate the situation and point it out in a way that is potentially less embarrassing to the person who made it ... there is so much garbage and misery outside of ilx, I don't really feel like increasing the garbage and misery on ilx.

But that's me ... and just because I have chosen to be more chill about things like young pussy, doesn't mean that I expect everyone else to handle upsetting posts the way I do. And dudes that emulate the traditional misogyny in our cultures ... should be prepared for responses like gyac's.

as in, I think all ilxors are good people in some contexts, but not all the time.

sarahell, Friday, 24 February 2023 15:45 (two years ago)

Otm. I also think hyperfocusing on whether you are a "good" person is counterproductive because it's binary thinking, plus implies a finality to that label when in reality the quality of your character is an always-evolving thing.

I am guilty of this mostly due to my anxiety/OCD symptoms but I feel better when I simply make my goal to help and prevent harm to others and just admit when I fell short.

But...in this social media age we tend to like easy labels sometimes.

waiting for a czar to fall (Neanderthal), Friday, 24 February 2023 16:22 (two years ago)

I would like to point out that I generally try, with perhaps one exception, to criticise people’s posts, rather than the person themselves.

I don’t understand why some find this such a hard distinction, or whether the person is a good person irl matters. I mean, I’m sure they are, but it’s not relevant to the side of them they’re choosing to show on ilx, which is the only side we know in most cases. I know some of you irl now which is great, but then again the people I tend to gravitate to for that don’t tend to make these kinds of posts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And finally, I like how my posts are quite calm and tbh even bland and yet several of the responders have characterised them as “shouting”, obtuse or otherwise irrational. I know that just one point has been discussed to death here but the attitudes are the issue - the comment I quoted was a useful example but it certainly wasn’t the only one.

Yeah I didn’t mince my words, but that’s not what I’m talking about. A reply can be angry and not crossing the line into a frothing rant, you know? And to read the very deliberate comment that I was “shouting” - yeah, I know exactly what’s going on there and so should you.

I think of this exact scene in the TV version of Dear White People where a mixed group of students at a party listening to rap and one of the white students says the n-word as he's rapping along to the song.

His Black friend tells him gently, with a smile, "don't say that word", and instead of saying "oh sorry", he starts focusing on how it hurts that the guy is suggesting he's racist and he begins escalating the Convo until a fight breaks out.

That seems to be how these things always go.

wrt year end music polls i realized i spent a decent amount of time in past years thinking about what music i liked or loved, and then 3 things would show up, and much of it wasn't to the taste of the ppl who can't just shut up about music that isn't to their taste, and i got kinda tired of it. couple things would have made the 77 if i'd voted but who gives a shit.

there are several kinds of flushes of shit. sometimes it just flushes right down and all is bueno. other times it swirls slowly but surely, until it gurgles off to shit hell. other times it barely makes it to the last gulp, and leaves shit behind. one must then determine whether another attempt is wise at all. finally, there's musk's twitter. it swirls, or more accurately circles slowly, with much hope from the onlooker. but it has no likelihood of leaving the bowl. in fact, water is flowing in and that shit morass is growing. now you are only afraid that the shit, the wipe-age, the turgid broth-- it's all gonna flow over to the floor. if it's not your space, it's best to flee. if it is your space? what then? *remove bookmark from this Thread*

i don't know that the island in the tempest works the same way as arden in AYLI. prospero's domination of the island, psychic deformation of caliban, stringing along of ariel, stunting of miranda etc are all signs of the world's disharmony, which can only be repaired by returning the island to caliban/setting ariel free/letting miranda go. colonialism in the tempest is not the solution to anything but a manifestation of the problem, a symptom of a vain disease of control; in order for prospero+alonso's reconciliation to be effected, the island must be un-fucked.

in contrast if the aristocratic hipsters in AYLI were fucking up arden (and they might be! roz/celia strolling in and buying someone's house on a whim is literally gentrification) that really would be framed by the play as the acceptable price of their revitalization. but the inequity between the vacationers and the locals is only v lightly ~problematized~ (there seems to be a lot of space in arden) whereas in the tempest it is the whole play, the source of everyone's fear or rage.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Thursday, 30 March 2023 01:28 (two years ago)

i got some trepidation about this but i wanna talk a little about my experience of queer trauma.

i was taught early and often to hate myself and to be ashamed of myself, to think of myself as a Bad Person. villains in movies like Dressed to Kill and The Silence of the Lambs were the closest thing i had to trans role models. i didn't admire these people. i didn't want to be like them. i found them repulsive and disgusting.

i hated myself, hated my body, found myself repulsive and disgusting. but that was different.

the truth about me, the truth about who i was, was literally unthinkable to me. it was worse than the worst thing i could imagine. so i thought about the worst shit i could imagine instead.

it's certainly an oversimplification, but there's these transfem memes. there one using the kid looking at the two castles and one's labelled "trans woman" and the other is labelled i don't know "fascist", and there's another with the evolution of some pokemon, i don't know all their names but one is vileplume i think, showing two evolution paths, where vileplume is "white supremacist" and the other one is "trans lesbian communist". and again i don't think it's _true_, i think that's just how a lot of us see ourselves.

most of us have a lot of internalized self-hatred. we work with it, we learn to live with it. but we also have to be careful around each other, because sometimes people will externalize it. growing up thinking of myself as disgusting for being trans created a sort of cognitive dissonance in me. i thought my transness made me repulsive, but all the other trans people i saw, i thought they were amazing and hot and awesome. there's two basic ways to resolve that. i learned to stop hating myself. some people decide instead to hate other trans people.

or, fuck it, why stop with just trans people? why not just hate _everyone_? why not conclude that human beings are disgusting, vile creatures, and it's better not to be born? i did that for a while too. i fucked around with antinatalism. there was some show called "true detective" or something where one of the characters was an antinatalist. a ligotti type. i had friends into ligotti. i was more into cioran, because he basically wrote funny tweets decades before twitter, which means that he wasn't stuck in the capitalist hellscape cesspool that is the twitter ecosystem. there are tons of sorts of antinatalism, i'm sure, millions of dead antinatalisms. mine was just one kind. i don't think i'm necessary _like_ someone because i used to be into antinatalism.

my particular antinatalism? it was fucking bullshit. it was me hating myself for being queer and not admitting it and turning it into some fucking _universal fucking truth_, like no it's not better that i wasn't born, i haven't felt that since the day my egg cracked. being trans sucks a lot of the time but i understand that my existence is of enormous positive value to the world, that the shit i was most ashamed and afraid of, the stuff i thought was literally unthinkable, wasn't nearly as bad as some of the "worst stuff i could imagine" that i was putting myself through.

so when i read certain stuff, the lens i read it through, i tend towards that lens. and that don't say anything about the author. when i apply that lens, i don't think it _can_ be anything but a barthes thing. i'd write these long theoretical pieces and i was trying to suppress some shit very very badly, it came out sideways. i look at what i now consider "egg art", some of the stuff i wrote, and some of the lies i told myself about that i wonder how i could ever have believed it.

so when i read certain stuff i look for the stuff that comes out sideways. if someone's writing a long essay making a theoretical defense of, like, pedophilia, ugggh it's always these most taboo subjects, pedophilia and nazis and you know yeah i read "answer me!" when i was younger, edgelordy bullshit written by some piece of shit asshole. i'm not like him. obviously. (you know, if i'd lived in portland in the 90s... maybe it wouldn't have taken me quite so long to figure out how completely and totally queer i am.)

but sometimes you run across this stuff and... ok, here's someone saying that they're attracted to people who are like them, here's them complaining about specifically _gay men_ who oppose pedophilia, calling them hypocrites, here's him "joking" about being a bottom. maybe what's unthinkable for them, maybe what's worse than the worst thing they can imagine, is being railed by a hot tall twink.

and i'm not personally into being railed by a hot tall twink, but you know what, i don't think being into that is somehow worse than the total extinction of the human race. personally.

anyway. that's me talking about me. i don't know shit about other people who do horrible things. i sometimes think of myself as a horrible person who would do horrible things, but that's obviously not true. that's just what i was taught about myself.

I think I'll be forever baffled by the inconsistency with which ILM chooses to bring out the knives for certain musicians' transgressions, while other transgressions are completely ignored. Which isn't to suggest there is any kind of one size fits all answer and each person gets to draw their own lines in the sand, but sometimes it's a bit surprising to see who gets completely dragged and who gets a free pass.

Morgan Wallen, imho. It's just interesting to compare and contrast the Nick Cave and Morgan Wallen threads atm. Like I don't have a horse in either fight, I'm hardly a Cave fan and thought his royal obsession is indeed stupid, but it seems weird to see him getting dragged left right and center while folks are engaging with Wallen as if he wasn't on video dropping the hard R.

Like I said, everyone can draw their own lines, just seems weird to me.

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Monday, 8 May 2023 20:09 (two years ago)

cave and morrissey are much closer to home to anyone familiar with indie culture. from an indie POV country music is where the racists are supposed to be so there's no surprise or sense of betrayal there. a tougher issue is whether we'll keep indulging other caves and morrisseys who are still in their plausible deniability phases, I hope we won't but it seems likely given the history

True but rather more prosaically the people most exercised about Nick Cave in that particular thread are from the UK, or live there, and I doubt many, of any, of them even know who Morgan Wallen is let alone whatever racist comments he's made.

Maggot Bairn (Tom D.), Monday, 8 May 2023 20:38 (two years ago)

"many, or any" that is

Maggot Bairn (Tom D.), Monday, 8 May 2023 20:38 (two years ago)

I live in Texas and I've never heard of him, but perhaps the scandal here is that assuming country singers are racists is a mean stereotype and he had the nerve to prove it true

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Monday, 8 May 2023 20:45 (two years ago)

To respond to jon's op:

I've never demanded others to stop listening to any artist ever, not here or in published work, nor do I condemn anyone for whom an artist's racism/homophobia/transphobia/misogyny results in an I'm-done moment. I have nothing to say about Nick Cave other than his comments strike me as more venal than what Wallen has said -- and done.

In the case of Wallen, I'd heard a few leaked tracks in December '20 before the incident occurred, though I was aware of his blatant, dangerous COVID violations. They were okay in a bog standard male bro manner. I liked about a third of Dangerous and thought the rest ranged from bog standard male bro shit to hot garbage. When the racist incident occurred I wasn't surprised given what we knew about the bastard already. Given that I owned a CD copy of the album before it happened, I wasn't contributing to the gob-smacking streaming figures that made Dangerous one of the biggest albums this millennium.

I try to distinguish b/w artists whose outspoken racism/homophobia/transphobia/misogyny produces racist/homophobic/transphobic/misogynist art (i.e. Morrissey) and artists who've said the shit aloud but whose work (so far) doesn't outwardly reflect it (Wallen). I still listen to a few Smiths/Morrissey albums at home. I still blast Ghostface's Ironman and Nas' It Was Written, two albums whose reflexive homophobia offends me. If asked to write about any of these people in a critical manner, however, I'll wrestle with my ambiguity as well as I can.

I'd be more pained if a Margo Price, Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, or Miranda Lambert said racist shit; I've invested more in them as artists. But ftr at Pop Conference about ten days ago Lambert's probable Republicanism came up a few times and to what degree she's responsible for enabling Wallen and to what degree she has, thanks to a co-writing credit on the new album, benefited financially. By contrast Jason Isbell, whose music interests me less, did the right thing and donated his royalties from the song Wallen covered on Dangerous.

Morgan Wallen is a shit person who makes shit music - no more compelling to talk about than Ted Nugent or Kid Rock, aside from the way his continued existence undermines the concept of 'cancel culture.'

papal hotwife (milo z), Monday, 8 May 2023 21:23 (two years ago)

today i learn about morgan wallen. guess after liking one song i can go back to being ignorant of his existence.

ꙮ (map), Monday, 8 May 2023 21:28 (two years ago)

xpost - Thanks for the thoughtful answer Alfred, appreciate it, genuinely. I'm definitely not suggesting any other ilxors are in the wrong or judging them for what they choose to support or ignore, I was just surprised by the relative level of vitriol Cave was getting for something that seems, to me anyway, less harmful (though I don't pay a lot of attention to Cave lately, so maybe there is more context than I've been privy to). It just seems, again to me, unsurprising that an outdated guy like Cave would hold outdated opinions on the monarchy. Whereas with Wallen, growing up in central Illinois with a lot of racist, country music loving folks around me, his racism feels much more real to me and, therefore, more harmful. So it's easier for me to slip into, "fuck that guy forever" once I saw the video.

Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 8 May 2023 21:28 (two years ago)

Yeah, as others have said here, the ppl attacking Nick Cave in that thread have most likely never heard of this dude, it's not any more complicated than that I don't think. I get why it would scan strangely but that's just how it shakes out in a forum with ppl living in wildly different cultural and geographic contexts.

Daniel_Rf, Monday, 8 May 2023 21:35 (two years ago)

jon wisely chose to employ this thread

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Monday, 8 May 2023 21:41 (two years ago)

I think reading Jon’s statement as “why aren’t the people attacking Nick Cave attacking Morgan Wallen” is specious at best. I don’t think asking “why is it that the people engaging with Nick Cave conversation are willing to tear him a new one over his views on the British Royalty but the people engaging with Morgan Wallen are flat-out ignoring his well-documented-in-that-thread racism” is a question meant to make the people talking about Nick Cave defensive.

Yes, "why are you a fan of this racist?" is certainly a much different question than "why are you upset about this one shitty person but not about this other lesser known (to ilxors of a certain age) shitty person?"

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Monday, 8 May 2023 23:19 (two years ago)

trust me, no one but people who follow chart toppers care or know about Wallen. i have never heard of him— racist country singer? wow!

Goose Bigelow, Fowl Gigolo (the table is the table), Monday, 8 May 2023 23:57 (two years ago)

uh it's not as simple as that -- if you follow country you know Wallen because he's so dominated the genre. You avoid writing about him, which is tacit acknowledgment.

the dreaded dependent claus (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 9 May 2023 00:04 (two years ago)

That's like writing "no one but people who follow chart toppers care or know about Chris Brown." If you write about R&B and listen to R&B radio, he remains a goddamn force. It has nothing to with your framing.

the dreaded dependent claus (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 9 May 2023 00:05 (two years ago)

i didn’t state my point clearly— unless you follow country or are a music journalist, there is no reason to know who Wallen is. i’m on social media, i haven’t heard anything about him ever.

Goose Bigelow, Fowl Gigolo (the table is the table), Tuesday, 9 May 2023 00:11 (two years ago)

That's more accurate. I'd also add "if you listen to top 40 radio" because he's finally crossed over, but I don't expect anyone here to have done that.

the dreaded dependent claus (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 9 May 2023 00:14 (two years ago)

Knowing of his existence seems pretty unavoidable to me but I don't know what a few posters who willingly listen to him have to do with the Cave thread of different people who are unlikely to listen to pop bro-country at all, much less the extra racist version of it.

I think about people like this in a similar way to how I think about Jordan Peterson or Andrew Tate, I know of them primarily because I know they are awful people, and I'd rather not spend a lot of time digging into the details of their awfulness because the more I learn, the worse my life becomes. The world, especially the internet, is far too full of people who thrive on negative attention.

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Tuesday, 9 May 2023 00:36 (two years ago)

another aspect of this is that I am more interested in learning abt Nick Cave's awful behavior because I have friends who post about him in an adulatory fashion and I want to bring solid arguments to them, whereas nobody in my feed knows or cares abt Wallen except (apparently) some of y'all and like one other person, so I don't need to keep up with his bad behavior.

so anyway, when i worked at a used record shop there was a regular that would come in and buy ONLY smooth jazz lps. like the really stereotypical, late 70s/early 80s stuff: spyro gyra, the rippingtons, joe sample - that sort of thing. that, in itself, was odd to me. it was the early 2000s and he was still buying this stuff on vinyl, but he was a middle aged black man always impeccably dressed. something about it just didn't make sense; shouldn't he have a cd player by now? he was pleasant, always. i was in the peak of my jazz snob phase, so even though i completely ridiculed his picks as soon as he left the store, i still very much enjoyed his visits. he was eccentric. i liked that.

one day, he visited and he did something he didn't normally do: immediately upon entering the store, he asks if we have a specific album. he never did this normally; he was enough of a regular that he knew his way around. what was on his list that day, you ask? lucky seven by bob james. and it was the only thing he wanted (again, uncommon as he would usually leave with a small stack). i was more than happy to help because i knew we had several copies of that album and, even though it wasn't my thing, i was of course happy to help. "and i'm looking to get lucky, my friend!" he blurts out from behind me as we're making our way over to the section.

i pretended not to hear him.

get to the racks and i searched out a nicer copy, just for him. handed it over and he immediately opens up the gatefold and looks over the credits. "MISTER BRECKER, YOU LUCKY DOG - MMMHMM!"

he closed the gatefold and took the disc ⅔ of the way out of the sleeve for a quick inspection. as he's doing this he says out loud, presumably to me, "let me tell you, my friend, this is THEE best breeding music."

i gave a nervous laugh, as if i knew exactly what he meant.

we returned to the front counter. he paid for the $6 lp with a twenty, declined his change, and instructed me to "be kind to yourself today, my friend." he left the store with a big smile on his face and a spring in his step.

as soon as he walked out, i turned to my coworker and said without any hesitation and with as much confidence as i've ever had, "i do believe that young man is getting laid tonight."

i've kind of been not getting out of the house or talking to people but i went out today to get bagels and the lady at the counter had some t-shirt with a bunch of lyrics from the "surf's up" album. so i told her how much i loved that album and we geeked out about it for a good minute. i wound up recommending _summer fun_ by jeanne thornton to her, but you know, i recommend that to basically everybody i meet, haha.

Maggot Bairn (Tom D.), Sunday, 4 June 2023 17:08 (two years ago)

the only person that did this to me also decided to sexually assault me while passed out drunk twice so that was consistent at least

the manwich horror (Neanderthal), Sunday, 4 June 2023 17:08 (two years ago)

[moderator cw: discussion of psychology of SA]

(nb I do not masturbate in front of people non-consensually) I think the psychology here is something like - the dude sees a girl and is attracted to her, he feels bad because he realises that if she knew he was attracted to her she would be indifferent at best or disgusted at worst (or maybe he fears that she can tell he's attracted to her even if he tries to hide it, his body language or facial expressions betray what he's thinking), her imagined negative reaction is experienced by him as a kind of attack to his self-esteem, by getting his dick out and masturbating he regains his sense of agency and ameliorates the uncomfortable ambiguity about what the woman is thinking/what she knows - "I CHOOSE to disgust you, this is something I'm doing to you rather than something you're doing to me", when the fear is she'd be disgusted whatever he did and that he's not in control.

I think it's similar to the way someone might intentionally cause a scene or force a confrontation over some smouldering resentment when drunk, even if they know they are humiliating themselves, the public humiliation is easier to bear than brooding on it over and over alone in your own mind, it's cathartic, and the other person involved is forced to share your discomfort and embarrassment

he thinks it's chinese money (soref), Sunday, 4 June 2023 17:21 (two years ago)

The psychology is the same as any other form of sexual assault. They do not respect the autonomy or dignity of their victims. They want to hurt them in some way. So they do.

treeship., Sunday, 4 June 2023 17:23 (two years ago)

I don’t think anyone thinks this is “ok,” they just think they can get away with it. Unfortunately, some people are like this.

treeship., Sunday, 4 June 2023 17:26 (two years ago)

xp that's true as well of course, but I think there's something specific in what motivates this particular kind of sexual assault that is also self-debasing. When the Louis CK stuff came out it reminded me of this thing Marc Maron would always say about how comedians are people afraid of being laughed at who become comedians so they can control when/how people laugh at them, I think the same is true of public masturbators, but to feel like they control when/how people are disgusted by them

he thinks it's chinese money (soref), Sunday, 4 June 2023 17:28 (two years ago)

anyway, that part where patricia arquette's character finds puff for the first time in the wild and when she finally gets close enough to him to try to initiate communication, he immediately starts wankin it. ignorantly, almost unwillingly - like that's the sort of uncivilized mentality i imagine goes into it. except, even worse because a world famous music producer and dj does know better. this cretin just doesn't care.

last note, very tmi-
i know i'm not a typical "MAN" but wow, i completely do not understand how other dudes can get it to work in that scenario. i'm thinking logistics: how do you make sure your pants/other clothes aren't in the way? AREN'T YOUR HANDS DIRTY? what happens if it "leaks" onto unwanted things?? do you, like, point it in the assaulted's direction? so many questions. besides the moral issues it raises, this is a true "wtf" for me.

yeah i'm not about rehabbing unconsensual masturbators. the one time it happened to me, I was picking up the co-worker and he began watching porn and doing it right next to me. and began asking me to do it myself and I angrily said no, and then he said "well can I at least see your dick" and I screamed at him.

i really shouldn't have given him a ride at that point but I was 23 and scared of the guy.

NOT TO SAY THAT WOMEN DON'T DO THIS, patriarchy is _system_, women can act (and many women do act) to reinforce patriarchy and men can be victims of patriarchy.

maybe if mods want to add hidden text tags to the explanation if the discussion is triggering -- would that alleviate the concern?

I just hate when I check out a band like this on t.v. or Youtube and I get that horrible feeling of embarrassment. I wish I could unsee it. They are just so tedious and not good at what they are doing. That attempt to be epic and theatrical and "meaningful" a la the cringe-y Coldplay or Arcade Fire. And their singer really does take fan identification to new heights. Literally anyone pulled from the audience would and could do a similar workmanlike job of badly expressing awkward emotions. Maybe it would be better if I listened with my eyes closed? So that I don't have to see all that strain and heavy lifting? Strain and heavy lifting to play a song that doesn't even begin to move for what seems like forever! I doubt it though. Yuck. Makes me want to wash my mouth out with a Mekons CD or something.

I do -- when I was a young man this happened to me several times: on Greyhound buses, in public restrooms, on un-busy streets. Dudes would yell "hey! hey, you!" and I'd look and they'd either unzip or it'd turn out they were already jackin it. Men do this to people -- some men do. It was vaguely traumatic for me but kinda small change compared to the other shit in my life at the time. I'm super interested in parsing the meaning of this behavior, in what ways we can talk about it that might prevent other people from doing it, in constructive conversations. I don't think "just say those people are fuckin animals and move on" is really useful or helpful. It's absolutely a patriarchal/kyriarchial thing and subjecting the behavior to revolutionary analysis is not only useful but vital, I also get how people might not wanna read it.

J Edgar Noothgrush (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Monday, 5 June 2023 20:45 (two years ago)

I agree that "why do abusers engage in abuse?" is an important question worth addressing. I also think it HAS been addressed, extensively, in our discourse for years and years now and while that doesn't mean it's been somehow "solved" it does imo mean that a constructive conversation about the topic should start from somewhere stronger than "well here's my theory". It also shouldn't be the immediate sole focus when news of abuse comes out, which is why I'm glad soref didn't post this on the original thread it was meant for.

Daniel_Rf, Monday, 5 June 2023 21:53 (two years ago)

Re: exposure, I am myself interested in this topic, but exclusively in the context of "talking about traumatic childhood experiences with my therapist" and "reading research papers/well-researched articles". It is interesting but this here is the wrong forum for it, imho.

professional window (flamboyant goon tie included), Monday, 5 June 2023 22:12 (two years ago)

i guess for me the downside of what i'll call the "rawhide" approach to abusers is that it sort of presupposes the _existence_ of a just society. like, you know, masturbating non-consensually in front of someone else is a clear violation of moral norms, if someone does that just...

just what, exactly? i mean what do you _do_ with someone like louis c.k.? or whoever the latest guy is, or paul rubens (or maybe paul rubens doesn't count to you!), or...

because the truth is that _not_ everyone has the same moral norms, some people _are_ of the opinion that just because someone non-consensually masturbates in front of their employees doesn't mean you shouldn't see them in concert, some people will be like "come on! they're _funny!_". and if i have to deal with _that_ sort of moral reasoning, you know, why should i draw the line at the moral reasoning of someone who non-consensually masturbates in front of someone else??

and i can choose not to, i can choose to say "well anybody who does that is wrong and anyone who makes excuses for someone who does that is wrong and..."

and what? it's me against the world? i don't _have_ to make compromises, i don't _have_ to spend a lot of time slowly explaining to well-meaning cis people why they shouldn't buy the harry potter game, but to some extent i _can_, and i feel like it's of benefit to me to do so. and if i'm going to do that, i have a hard time doing that without getting into the motivations and mindset of the person who is doing The Bad Thing.

of course it's going to be different for other people, and there is a question of appropriate venue. the original thread itself, i agree, probably not the place for that discussion. here? to me this is a good place, this is a thread that's kind of implicitly _for_ metadiscussion.

sarahell, Tuesday, 6 June 2023 15:26 (two years ago)

If there’s no curiosity about the behavior then yes, the conclusion is usually to portray the evildoer as having cartoon character motivations, which complicates conversations about how to deal with the consequences of that behavior in industry and society. It’s actually a circle not a straight line.

xps in other words we can understand how eg gender relations are structured and enforced without having to posit some unknowable evil at the core (we can but it's not necessary on a descriptive level) but the obsessive focus on the individual psychology (of guys who must be loving all this attention) seems in practice to have a mystifying effect on this understanding (not least because individual psychology isn't really a thing)

Well idk we're not all caught up equally on these supposed conversations where we figured all that motivation stuff out already! Congrats on your hard work.

But anyway, indeed if you don't identify with the strawman I'm describing then you aren't who I'm referring to. I do suspect some people are that person though.

But his face would not turn into hot Kirby (Evan), Tuesday, 6 June 2023 15:43 (two years ago)

it's not a question of hard work to notice that every time abuse from a celebrity is reported there is a whole lot of writing and thinking about what that means for and about the abuser, in a way that easily dwarfs any talk about the victim; there are obviously reasons for that but it's still a fucked up dynamic, even when the ppl engaging in these discussions are well intentioned. as I've said above this doesn't mean the question of these motivations has been solved or that I have the answers.

Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 6 June 2023 15:49 (two years ago)

Threads you had second thought about and decided not to post

See you could have discussions about anything on ilx, but those threads tend to get taken over by people taking up all the oxygen of the discussion with repeatedly asking for basic concepts to be explained; or you might (just as an example!) make a reference to violence that targeted a group you’re a member of only to have that mocked; or you might just not feel like the derailing of serious topics that happens frequently enough that it’s just not worth it. Stop trying to ascribe other motivations than that, it’s really not complicated.

TY FRANCE HATES TEXAS CONFIRMED (gyac), Tuesday, 6 June 2023 16:08 (two years ago)

Speaking of boring and oversimplified, unironically fulfilling Godwin's Law is an interesting choice, but I feel like this knee-jerk resistance towards analyzing human behavior is due to the way it inevitably humanizes in the process, and if that's true it supports the point I was making.

Anyway! I'll go back to lurking and making occasional dumb joke posts.

But his face would not turn into hot Kirby (Evan), Tuesday, 6 June 2023 16:16 (two years ago)

here's the thing from my POV, in general the problem with these discussions is contextual:

as posters who have been criticizing this discussion have alluded to, many times these discussions have taken place on threads that should be centering the victims, rather than the abuser/person who did the harm. This is not the case here. Everyone who was talking about the contested subject was conscientious about not taking up space on a thread where the topic infers the victims should be centered.

This discussion isn't even happening on a "general subject" thread where people are reading/wanting to participate in discussion about other things but a discussion they find frustrating and pointless and perhaps privileged is taking up space. (e.g. Politics threads, an ILM thread about a specific musician or genre)

ILX's structure is fairly non-hierarchical, except for recency. Like, there isn't a "featured thread" or some algorithmically determined thread that has greater import and status than other threads. The closest thing to that is "why is this thread always at the top of SNA?" ... but in this case, the thread title has nothing to do with this discussion, so ... it isn't the same as say the "Cancelled" thread that some of the same posters were objecting to recently.

IRL people have conversations in real time, at for example, meetings, where they have to sit through discussion about such things and feel frustrated. But this is a text based message board ... it isn't even like people are posting youtubes or twitter embeds that are taking a bunch of time to load.

So as I see it, this is contextually different, and the posters who are complaining are maybe just used to seeing it in problematic contexts and having a pattern-based response without thinking about this particular context.

sarahell, Tuesday, 6 June 2023 16:24 (two years ago)

Tbh I think digging into the background of "H" is maybe helpful in the sense that there has to be pathology involved, and I suspect many of the worst members of the n*zi party would have comfortably found a home hating another group, in another era, in another place. Not that antisemitism doesn't attract the worst of the worst as far as that goes.

I was thinking abt a former friend recently whose low key demeanor was probably cloaking a sublevel iciness and cruelty I didn't notice, and who seems like a guy who is perfectly at home in the alt-right but might have enjoyed a spot working for Goebbels or driving his listeners to murder on a Rwandan radio station.

sarahell, Saturday, 10 June 2023 19:50 (two years ago)

And it is also complicated… there are many individual techniques that go into the general category, and drumming has changed/evolved over time (just talking within the jazz-rock genre centered in the US/Western Europe) … like matched grip, and the advent of the double-kick pedal, triggers, etc … what is privileged and what isn’t… like I have a friend who I will clown about bringing hi-hat to gigs because all he uses it as is a cymbal… but he has amazing moeller technique. Super impressive

sarahell, Saturday, 10 June 2023 20:03 (two years ago)

I love the Shaggs but they literally couldn’t play in time with each other and I doubt it’s because they went to Captain Beefheart’s off-kilter desert bootcamp

i mean, if what you play is like, the musical equivalent of a burger and fries, and you are technically competent at it ... though not everyone thinks a burger and fries is the most amazing thing, but it's not like the metaphorical burger and fries aren't great examples of what they are. ... sometimes you want baklava or a Burmese tea leaf salad or pizza

But the cookies, the backbone of the sandwich, were phenomenal. When I’d go, I wouldn’t just order a cookie, I’d order the whole sandwich with the knowledge that the cookies would outshine the ice cream

…And actually given that I have had a number of men on ilx fixate on posts of mine/my inability to laugh at non-jokes, I really don’t think I need this pointing out to me. Not even just me experiencing that, the Tár thread was pretty fucking appalling with how Roz was talked over/to/about by a load of men.

it's the standard i get held to, right? you maybe don't mean to say it, you maybe don't intend to say it, but i hear it. i hear it loud and clear. mansplaining. i'm mansplaining women's experiences to a woman, who of course knows all about this, who isn't some johnny-come-lately to this stuff, who wasn't _socialized male_.

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 11 July 2023 15:08 (one year ago)

i am sorry. i am genuinely sorry for saying what i did in that way, i was responding to you and saying something that wasn't directed at you, and it was reasonable for you to interpret that as directed at you, and you being upset was absolutely a justified response. i made a mistake in how i phrased what i said, and i'm sorry.

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 11 July 2023 15:19 (one year ago)

tbh I think what you said was fine rushomancy

linoleum gallagher (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 11 July 2023 15:34 (one year ago)

a lot of people have similar thoughts and experiences and sometimes they repeat things other people have previously said. And generally the intent isn't to talk over / ignore what the previous people said, but just to share their own thoughts and experiences, because it's their turn to share ... like, going around in a circle in some sort of group therapy exercise? It depends on the thread, though ... that masculinity thread sure feels like a group therapy exercise to me idk.

sarahell, Tuesday, 11 July 2023 15:46 (one year ago)

Xps there are cis women on here I’ve actively disagreed with in harsher terms. I just objected to the tangible experience that I’ve had on here being left out of the conversation, I’ve mentioned it a number of times and didn’t feel like doing so again on a thread about masculinity.

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Tuesday, 11 July 2023 15:50 (one year ago)

i mean sure. this isn't the first time recently that.. i've gotten the impression that you believe that i personally talked over your experience. the way i talked about my experience with autism spectrum disorder, for instance. you know at a certain point something starts seeming like a pattern of behavior, and when i feel like somebody has talked about things in a way that invalidates my lived experience twice in a month, i'm likely to start drawing broader conclusions.

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 11 July 2023 16:02 (one year ago)

Sorry what was the ASD thing, I honestly don’t recall that?

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Tuesday, 11 July 2023 16:04 (one year ago)

oh, it was just me talking about my selective mutism, honestly i probably read more into it than i meant to. i've gotten a lot of certain kinds of criticism and when i see something that _looks_ like that sort of criticism it activates me pretty hard. i'm not apologizing for being activated, you did misinterpret something i said and kinda go off on me yesterday, but i feel like i've done the processing i need to not take it personally.

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 12 July 2023 14:33 (one year ago)

I’m still trying to find the other example (selective mutism?) cos I am coming up short of examples of us even posting on the same thread in the past month.

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Wednesday, 12 July 2023 15:02 (one year ago)

i don't know, thread drift happens, the thread was nothing to do with ASD, maybe it was the ADHD thread? anyway the fact that you don't even remember it, to me that's a clear sign to me that i was reading more into it than was there, and that's kind of all i need to know.

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 12 July 2023 15:37 (one year ago)

Yeah I had a quick look back through my posting history going back to the 9th June and I didn’t see that I’d posted in that thread or about anything related.

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Wednesday, 12 July 2023 16:09 (one year ago)

no worries. maybe i'm misremembering. my memory is _extremely_ fallible. frustrates the hell out of me.

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 12 July 2023 16:24 (one year ago)

I mean, I get that you're jonesing, but as someone who's seen a lot of social media come and go, it's really depressing to get a popular alternative, with the momentum to make something happen, and the first thing that people think of is "Here's a list of ways that it needs to be more like Twitter"

i know i'm hypersensitive to criticism and i take generalized criticism personally when i shouldn't, i'm working on it

Well tbh I was being pretty rude about it - it’s personal preference, if a discussion is interesting I prefer it to play out rather than someone feeling the need to post jokes or whatever? But two wrongs etc.

i mean that's a fair point! i genuinely don't mean to be snarky here but i feel like i did point that out explicitly in my post, that i take things as being directed at me that aren't?

Do I have to post “Scott Seward is ruining what were interesting lines of conversation with his shit” to avoid this? Because I will. And please, do killfile me, I don’t think you implying I was being dismissive about neurodiversity when we’ve never had a conversation about it was exactly great but I guess I should just wear that, right?

― (who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac)

ok since my initial comment kind of underexplained i'm going to completely overexplain here, warning i will use a lot of therapy talk, i'll try to do it in a healthy manner but if someone's not into that they might want to skip the rest of this post. i'm just super autistic and a big nerd about analyzing social dynamics and how they play out in practice.

i also do feel like responding in-depth like this has a pretty good likelihood of being counter-productive to you specifically, you've talked about having a long history of being mansplained to and getting the impression that you're being talked over, but i kind of have to let that go, because i'm talking for my own purposes and not to resolve any conflict we have directly

so as to your question i do think it generally is good if i have a problem with a specific person to address it to them rather than to generalize it. that said it's also something i find challenging, sometimes i take issues i'm having and sort of transfer them onto someone else (haha well maybe freud did have _one_ good idea once).

and that is explicitly my intent with my my first post in this thread this morning. i didn't name you specifically but i figured that you read this thread and that you'd know i was talking about you. this is sort of the default subtweet thread, but for me, i think it's good for sort of meta-discussion, talking about things that don't really fit in. i didn't name you simply because i didn't want to place an implicit obligation on you to respond, it was more kind of an opener than anything else.

because criticism _does_ have a tendency to come off as confrontational. it was important to me to... express my feelings rather than burying them, because that gets me in trouble. and i tried to do that in a healthy way without putting any obligation on you. that first post was textbook therapy-speak, honestly, in that it was entirely self-centered. and sometimes that does get annoying, that i'm always talking about myself, but particularly when i'm being critical i try not to frame it in terms of "you did this wrong, you did that wrong", the "when you x, i feel y" thing has a cause and effect but ultimately you're not responsible for my emotions, and that second para where i acknowledged my tendency to personalize generalized criticism was meant to underline that message.

and as it turns out other thread participants _did_ find your comment unhelpful and snarky and _have_ expressed that, independently from me, so i feel like it was good and appropriate for me to say what i said

the other reason that i said that is so i _don't_ essentialize you, i don't turn isolated incidents into a pattern of behavior, which, again, i do have a tendency to do. when i do post criticisms, i try to not do them in haste, in the heat of the moment. this was something i used to do a lot, this is kind of standard practice for discourse. this is sort of an issue i have with twitter is how _fast_ it moves, it encourages people to not wait until the initial emotional reaction passes, and that does tend to escalate conflict rather than de-escalate conflict. and that's kind of part of internet culture, unfortunately, that was part of this board's formative culture, part of the culture of usenet before that. it's a natural tendency for me and i actively work to not fall into that tendency.

giving myself that small amount of time, it can be as little as five minutes, to get past that emotional reaction is really helpful because a lot of the time when i get past that initial emotional reaction i realize that i don't actually need to make a response to whatever it was that created the emotional response. but sometimes there is an external reason that i feel like i need to address in ways that are directly critical of other people. that's scary and i don't like doing that, but in this case i felt like i did need to, and i do feel like i was right in doing that.

---

anyway i'm not really interested in killfiling you, i do that only in extreme circumstances. i think i've done it like once, to someone who i believe has subsequently been banned from ilx. when i'm going to cut ties, set a rigid boundary with someone i _don't_ criticize them. at that point i've decided that there's no point in talking to them about anything. i haven't reached that point with you, though, and since i haven't reached that point and i don't _want_ to reach that point, i feel like it's best to address in as direct and honest a manner as possible situations that _could_ lead to that point. and that might be now! sometimes identifying a problem, you know, it can't be resolved. i'm just personally in a headspace where i'm wanting to let go of any hostility i might have in a way that's healthy and not destructive. that's what i'm trying to do, and i don't know whether i've succeeded or not. i feel like i've succeeded at that, to a significant extent.

Kate (rushomancy), Friday, 14 July 2023 16:33 (one year ago)

Kate I think you're reasonable and always interested in what you have to say.

i will probably killfile gyac because although I think they're intelligent and provide a lot of great insight into threads, they rarely hold themselves to the same standards they hold other people and frequently thread police, even in very low stakes threads, and it's just fuckin tiring at this point. I've outright left threads I've been interested in because of shit like this.

linoleum gallagher (Neanderthal), Friday, 14 July 2023 16:38 (one year ago)

feel like i did point that out explicitly in my post, that i take things as being directed at me that aren't?


Yeah that’s fine, I get that. But while I get you accept that seeing patterns is something you acknowledge isn’t always accurate, what am I meant to do with that? I’m asking honestly. I’d really rather not be involved in that, you know?

And I do suggest blocking/killfiling people cos I do this myself & I’m pretty sure both sides of the equation are happier as a result.

they rarely hold themselves to the same standards they hold other people

Wrong, I’m pretty happy to hold my hands up and say when I fucked up/have been a cunt. I’m not going to pretend that making a pissy comment in a thread is crime of the century, especially given the things that go uncommented on on here, but we’ve done that one to death. Recall being mocked for referencing the Troubles recently in a thread on a salient point, but what’s a little casual xenophobia compared to a lazy bitchy comment?

it's just fuckin tiring at this point


My man, you absolutely do NOT want to hear my opinions about your posting habits so don’t start lmao.

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Friday, 14 July 2023 16:46 (one year ago)

Yeah that’s fine, I get that. But while I get you accept that seeing patterns is something you acknowledge isn’t always accurate, what am I meant to do with that? I’m asking honestly. I’d really rather not be involved in that, you know?

that's kind of the beauty of it, you don't _have_ to do anything with it, you don't _have_ to get involved. someone says something like that to me and i try to ask myself "what do i want or need to do with this feedback?" and a lot of times the answer is "nothing"! "ok fine she's upset with me for doing this and takes it personally and also acknowledges that this is a problem she has in particular, cool, nice story kate, i'm moving the fuck on with my life". i mean since you're asking me for advice here, that's how i'd respond to a post like the one i made.

And I do suggest blocking/killfiling people cos I do this myself & I’m pretty sure both sides of the equation are happier as a result.

sure, it's a reasonable suggestion, i don't think it's wrong to say "hey have you considered killfiling me". i've certainly suggested to other people that they might benefit from blocking me, since being reminded of my existence actively gave them SI. their response was, though, that they didn't feel comfortable doing that, and i mean, fair enough. that's their decision.

Kate (rushomancy), Friday, 14 July 2023 17:02 (one year ago)

That’s all fair.

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Friday, 14 July 2023 17:05 (one year ago)

Recall being mocked for referencing the Troubles recently in a thread on a salient point

it actually wasn't a salient point -- it was you making things about you, as you have a tendency to do, like when you referred to the "boundaries" thread as "your thread" because you started it? That reminds me of someone who was permabanned for behavior like that. And now, it feels like you have assumed that role. All About Eve on ILX.

You thread police when things aren't discussed in the way you want them to be discussed, and heaven forbid people make jokes! OMG. How dare people make ... jokes?! You complain about being ignored and people repeating things you posted, when you brag about ignoring people and you, yourself, because you have killfiled people, will do the exact same thing ... because you don't read posts from posters you have killfiled.

sarahell, Saturday, 15 July 2023 20:20 (one year ago)

The reason why you aren't repeatedly called out on your shitty behavior is because people are legit intimated and afraid of you, gyac. They don't want to be targeted by you. They want to have a pleasant experience discussing things on a message board ... as a respite from the bullshit of life.

sarahell, Saturday, 15 July 2023 20:24 (one year ago)

Hey Sarahell I know for a fact you were told by someone else that that comment was fucked up so you acting brand new about it isn’t new. I have nothing else to say to you, except that if I had ever, ever in my life been crass to the point of cruel about a mass shooting that affected a minority community, I’d probably hold my tongue on the subject of others’ behaviour. I will live with and deal with my many flaws as a person, but I absolutely despise you and your insistence on interacting with me and I just want you to unambiguously know that.

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Saturday, 15 July 2023 20:27 (one year ago)

And just so you can’t pretend about it, let me walk you through it:

Xyzzzz__ posted a story about an English woman who said she was made fun of in Northern Ireland for being English. Given the, idk, cultural context, I made a snide remark about it, which anyone who interacts with me on the ukpol threads will know is an issue close to my heart.
https://i.postimg.cc/g2N812cm/IMG-5330.jpg
For reasons unknown, you decided to make that comment, maybe because the idea of children being shot in the street for no other reason than their background was funny to you? I don’t know. I do know that three different people messaged me about that with variations of “What the FUCK?”

https://i.postimg.cc/3NxHS1tK/IMG-5331.jpg
I told you my specific personal history on it. You decided to keep going. You are apparently offended that I think this remark was disgusting. I don’t care, and I thought it was a reasonable ask that you not reply to me if you considered sectarian violence something you could joke about to hurt me. You disagreed and here we are!

I can be rude. I can be aggressive. I do not take pride in picking at people’s ethnic or cultural backgrounds to hurt them.

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Saturday, 15 July 2023 20:41 (one year ago)

I’m sorry is it now crass and cruel to point out racism and white privilege? Oops my bad

sarahell, Saturday, 15 July 2023 20:52 (one year ago)

And the incident re the mass shooting actually was not on ILX… it was on slack, where you persisted on shit-talking ILX discussions and posters after I said “please don’t do this because of the harm it caused before.”

sarahell, Saturday, 15 July 2023 21:04 (one year ago)

That’s really not what happened. But when has that ever mattered to you before? Btw the point about mocking a mass shooting directed at the Jewish community is not to go “NO U”, another person might be embarrassed about goading an obviously upset person from the locale and the community. But not you!

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Saturday, 15 July 2023 21:08 (one year ago)

That’s exactly what happened tbh. You were shit-talking table’s response on ilx, I said please stop, you continued shit-talking, I explained where I live and how several people get shot every week and how they tend to be BIPOC so it doesn’t make the headlines in the same way and can lead to desensitization

sarahell, Saturday, 15 July 2023 21:16 (one year ago)

I was not doing that, I’m not even sure I was in the initial conversation actually? it was other people, and you know what? I’ve got screenshots of the whole thing, I don’t need to argue this point. You are a piece of work, you tone policed a Jewish person for being upset about a shooting in their community, and have the nerve to say that people discussing that were the ones at fault? Keep going though, you can only look better.

(who is an amazing ice cream maker by the way) (gyac), Saturday, 15 July 2023 21:20 (one year ago)

The shooting was in an affluent suburb of Chicago and the person lives in LA, so ... idk, is that "their community"? I wasn't tone policing said poster. I was saying "stop shit-talking about another poster" and then you of course got involved.

sarahell, Saturday, 15 July 2023 21:36 (one year ago)

That person's trauma about what happened, the actual shooting, I did not challenge or say, "whatevs" to ... it was the way they were talking about someone else's response that I took issue with.

sarahell, Saturday, 15 July 2023 21:38 (one year ago)

and not even their response ... them as a "person" ... like, there's the behavior, and there's the person. If the shit-talking had just been about the post that person made and how it seemed unsympathetic, then I wouldn't have gotten as upset, and I might not have even responded, but it became about him as a person, and I was like, "don't. please don't. Or, have a discussion with him about it, and don't just engage in name-calling."

sarahell, Saturday, 15 July 2023 21:41 (one year ago)

The last thing I have to say on this personally is: you were told the person was from that area and is from that community. I told you unambiguously as did others. I don’t feel like indulging this any further as it doesn’t relate to me, but I can tell you personally? I’d rather be called an edgelord any day than having violence aimed at my community belittled and handwaved. And also, that if you find yourself in two separate situations where you can’t help mocking violence aimed at ethnic/religious communities because you don’t like the people, maybe take some time to reflect about that.

sarahell, Saturday, 15 July 2023 21:48 (one year ago)

sigh. this is how it's gonna go down, huh? ok. this is how it's gonna go down.

this is how it always fucking happens. somebody is shitty and inappropriate to me and other people say, kate, no, you're not wrong, that other person is being shitty and inappropriate to you, and i don't accept it. i apologize, i conciliate, i exculpate. and i think, you know, maybe if i do that, maybe if i'm _kind_ and _respectful_ and display _empathy_ instead of behaving like the angry, cruel, sarcastic _man_ i was raised to be, you know, people can learn, people can grow.

gyac, you've learned nothing. no, no. worse than that. you've learned the _wrong thing_. you were shitty to me and i fell on my fucking sword and you apparently felt like that was some kind of vindication and now you're doing that shit to someone else. and as usual, _that_ and only _that_ is where i draw the line.

the way you talked to me was inappropriate and wrong. the way you are talking to sarahell is inappropriate and wrong. i'm saying this for the record, i don't know of any way to say it that you'll fucking _listen_ to. that's up to you, and you're not, no matter how much i hoped you would, no matter how much i wanted you to, you won't. fine. you're being shitty, and i'm not apologizing at all, but i was wrong to not call you out on it more directly earlier. it wouldn't have made a difference as far as you're concerned either way, but maybe i might actually start to respect myself if i practiced holding people accountable when they're shitty to me.

anyway, whatever else is gonna go down is gonna go down, i'm gonna head over to the trans march and try to not get heat stroke or anything.

I think you're talking about me. My parents live 10 minutes from the shooting and one of my mother's friends had a child shot that day so yes it is my community. That said, I had a conversation with table offline that resolved it. And I offered to do the same with you. So if you don't want to discuss, fine, but for the record I do have ties to Highland Park.

Camaraderie, one of the central features of our current cultural moment is that reality surpassed satire in approximately 1999.

Satirists cannot conjure up absurdity as fast as the world produces it. You can't do satire in a world where actual events are more absurd than a satirist can think of.

Then reality (not content with its victory over satire) decided to press the accelerator in 2015, and hasn't looked back.

It's not easy to pull together data to resolve this question, because a good study requires reliable data spanning multiple generations of individuals and their offspring, and census data about such economic matters is anonymized at the individual level. But the one study I've read about concluded that mobility between economic classes in the USA is fairly stagnant and not much different than the UK. What fluidity there is in the USA seems less about actual economic and social mobility than our having more laxity and latitude in our social attitudes about class.

If there’s no power in class divide aside from wealth, is there really class divide? Obviously royal families/major political figures are the exception.

Whereas some Yale alumni from Maryland may not have $18 million in cash, but he has family capital, perhaps land.. and he'll always be upper crust

Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 27 July 2023 01:02 (one year ago)

Difference between wealth and money. You can have less money in the bank account than someone, but if you’ve got a mortgage on a nice piece of land with a bunch of equity in and they’re still renting, you’d be the wealthier one. Wealth is about more than the bank account, but the lottery winner’s got a better chance than anyone else of transferring that cash to some more lasting wealth if they’ve got some financial-smarts behind them

hrep (H.P), Thursday, 27 July 2023 01:09 (one year ago)

Sorry for thinking out loud things that are obvious to most, but yeah I probably had it wrong. The footballer, if all he does is buy a nice house, some boats, store enough money in the bank to have a few of his generations never have to work, is probably of a different class to a capitalist who with the same amount of money, buys a 1000 properties to rent/businesses to be run.

hrep (H.P), Thursday, 27 July 2023 01:13 (one year ago)

"i mean that exists now where i live in california. because of rising property values locals whose families own homes become old money, meanwhile ppl moving here from other places might be wealthy but their money doesn’t go as far because they’re not already settled and trying to buy into a crazy market. not to mention the craziness our prop 13 property tax system creates"

this is true, but it's also misleading since just because someone has a lot of equity in their house, it doesn't mean it necessarily does them any good. I have plenty of neighbors who probably own their homes outright with no or low mortgages in an area that is increasingly expensive; but they don't have any money. they are old and retired and their houses are falling apart. are they upper class? I don't think so. Are they 'wealthy"? on paper I guess.

I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Thursday, 27 July 2023 01:19 (one year ago)

correct

i grew up in one of those rarefied environments - which are themselves diverse in a way, he likely has a neighbor who is -1.8M in the hole and another with +1.8Bn - and it’s like a revolving door around here.

90% of my friends from school don’t live here anymore, but even allowing for the fact i was hanging w hipsters who all fled to oakland or chicago or paris or portland, it’s just well known that there’s a lot of turnover. i think native portlanders might be able to relate!

land isn’t capital unless you’re doing something with it, and investing is risky. a lot of people made and lost a lot of mortgage money here. so if we’re going to associate class with geography, then that makes it look fluid to me!

the other thing that occurs to me is how geography itself (even capital) is not fixed. the neighborhood where i grew was a long street of edward hopper beach cottages, some from the 1940s, with huge front yards. this is capped with brady bunch single level ranch homes at each end. they tore down all of the cottages and built huge disgusting mcmansions that fill up the entire lot to the very edge, so it’s all “private space”. they cut down a bunch of old trees lining the road too, so they can look out i guess, while still being private

that’s what happens when they build a biotech investment hub in the big empty space between you and the rest of town, i guess!

the late great, Thursday, 27 July 2023 01:23 (one year ago)

and yeah i have friends with old and sick parents and they’re trying to figure out do i sell in portland and buy back my family home, and can i afford to live there after i do? so they will be ok, not immiserated and impoverished, but they might have to take a big hit to maintain this “generational wealth” and that’s just not possible for everyone

ꙮ (map), Thursday, 27 July 2023 01:27 (one year ago)

Land absolutely is capital, the most fundamental kind of capital. Whether you're doing something with that capital or not, it still exists - equity could still be used, it is still a home base, even if you don't want to move because you can't directly replace a piece of land, owning a million dollar house gives you options/potential mobility that don't otherwise exist.

If your home (somehow, in the US) didn't keep up with inflation - it's still an asset.

Well, this conversation got weird fast. A few thoughts:

Difference between wealth and money.

Chris Rock had a thing about this: "Shaq is rich. The white man who signs his check is wealthy."

Personally I own a house that is almost worthless (small, cramped, crumbling, 80+ years old) but it sits on an absurdly valuable rectangle of dirt. At present there is no way out of this situation.

Some people call me Maurice Chevalier (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 27 July 2023 02:08 (one year ago)

Where I'm taking "land isn't capital unless you're doing something with it" is that it's just dead wrong. Rare cases of real estate declining in value don't change that - and I mean, you bring up climate change and California but houses are still selling there! There's a mild penalty for the most at-risk properties, but they still have a massive amount of value. The example of old people letting their homes go to seed that you pointed to and agreed with is also nothing like that - those homes just need fixing up, like every aging man-made structure.

If meemaw and pop-pop can sell their house for $400k (but if it would have been $550k if they'd kept up with maintenance), it's still $400k more of an asset than that held by the old couple relying on Social Security and Section 8 vouchers.

Don’t worry though, I am willing to carry my burden so the rest of you don’t have to own my land. No need to thank me. Will accept cards and home made treats in recompense though

hrep (H.P), Thursday, 27 July 2023 02:40 (one year ago)

I should really be thanking the bank who actually own my land at the moment. Always sticking up for the little guy

hrep (H.P), Thursday, 27 July 2023 02:40 (one year ago)

its strange to me how it turns from homeowner to landowner depending on the level of sarcasm required in the sentence

Ár an broc a mhic (darraghmac), Thursday, 27 July 2023 02:44 (one year ago)

Tbf my home is one of those mama and pop pop about to fall over next weekend types so I use land owner unironically. Bank values my place as like 20% house 80% land

hrep (H.P), Thursday, 27 July 2023 02:47 (one year ago)

The example of old people letting their homes go to seed that you pointed to and agreed with is also nothing like that - those homes just need fixing up, like every aging man-made structure

i … never said this? did i say this?

the late great, Thursday, 27 July 2023 02:53 (one year ago)

sorry i have this bad pathological need to be clear, seems like posting less might help ... but if you mean my friends whose mom is sick it has to do with refinancing, taxation, not planning for a sick mom, etc. it’s complicated but not structural problems. in the case of the tear-downs on the block, i was also pointing to mortgage and finance stuff others already mentioned

if you don’t believe me that it happened, fine. i concede the entire argument on all points, except the specifics about this one town and whether or not i lack empathy and imagination

the late great, Thursday, 27 July 2023 03:05 (one year ago)

Nothing personal against you mate, obviously there are specific situations where your points stand, it’s just they do not constitute the general rule of land ownership which is that it will “GENERALLY SPEAKING” make you wealthier in the long term.

Sympathise with your need to be clear, best wishes to your friend.

hrep (H.P), Thursday, 27 July 2023 03:11 (one year ago)

i agree. my only point … ever … was that it is not the same as peerage, or old time caste systems

the late great, Thursday, 27 July 2023 03:17 (one year ago)

i … never said this? did i say this?

‘I agree with akm’ when that was his last post seemed like an agreement re: the point about valuable homes not being kept up?

papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 27 July 2023 03:18 (one year ago)

or if we want to shift it to something we can all agree is abhorrent (other than this thread) the same guarantee as apartheid

I am confused what the argument is?

sarahell, Thursday, 27 July 2023 03:21 (one year ago)

Same

hrep (H.P), Thursday, 27 July 2023 03:24 (one year ago)

In any case land is absolutely capital and some people having to concern themselves with the performance of (in investment terms) or how to maintain a valuable property kind of feels like one of those class divide issues that started all this.

papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 27 July 2023 03:26 (one year ago)

If you think of it in terms of it being able to be used as collateral for actual money … like you can’t buy groceries with a fractional share of land, same with many other necessities that require payments in cash or cash equivalents. Granted if you have no cash AND no land, then you are really fucked.

sarahell, Thursday, 27 July 2023 03:42 (one year ago)

xp oh ok i was talking about finance stuff, mortgages etc not structural issues. maybe the steak needing a fridge confused it. at least we can agree that land is like other assets (they all help you become wealthier and require some maintenance) even if we can’t agree on whether its more akin to owning a business or owning a car (which in the case of a taco truck could be a business) or owning a principality

the late great, Thursday, 27 July 2023 04:11 (one year ago)

I mean you’re still putting up the fundamental difference that has been pushed back at you: cars go down in value, as do steaks, land (GENERALLY) does not. It’s neither steak nor car nor business for an owner occupier, it’s an asset. No need for confusing analogies which just get further away from the truth

hrep (H.P), Thursday, 27 July 2023 04:20 (one year ago)

Sarahell writes:

Um, yes you kinda can? Maybe you shouldn't but you totally can.

A landowner or homeowner can call or visit a bank and say "I would like a $50,000 line of credit based on the $500,000 of equity I have in my home and/or property. Oh, also, while you're at it, give me an extra $5,000 in cash."

Then you go buy groceries with that. It's surprisingly easy.

(It may not be a great idea, long term, but it is possible.)

I mean you could be generous with your interpretation of what I said and add in the appreciating/depreciating sub-clause that was obviously intended by the context, but yeah fair enough a car is an asset

A landowner or homeowner can call or visit a bank and say "I would like a $50,000 line of credit based on the $500,000 of equity I have in my home and/or property.

um, that was something I was referring to when I said "being able to be used as collateral for actual money" ... in some cases, the bank might say no. Banks do this. They say no to people who have too much debt, or they question whether there's that much equity in the property, depending on the property they might have questions about the title and other things that would delay getting the cash (e.g. racism often comes into play here)

sarahell, Thursday, 27 July 2023 13:48 (one year ago)

I am not arguing that property owners are disadvantaged vs people with the same degree of assets/wealth who aren’t real estate owners.

sarahell, Thursday, 27 July 2023 14:21 (one year ago)

I am saying that having liquid assets like cash and publicly traded stock is often better than owning real estate

sarahell, Thursday, 27 July 2023 14:23 (one year ago)

I have known people--not many, but some--who are saddled with properties they can neither afford nor sell, and who are essentially destitute, or at least not able to enjoy being "well off."

linoleum gallagher (Neanderthal), Thursday, 27 July 2023 14:33 (one year ago)

I have no interest in arguing about finance. I freely admit that I don't really understand finance (or anything, really).

But exactly one time, my wife was pregnant so I went into a bank and said, "Hi, I have a bunch of dollars. Can I please live in a house?"

The bank said, "okay," and they let me live in a house.

Fifteen years later, I went back to the same bank and said, "Hi, remember me? I have part of a house. Can I please have some dollars?"

The bank said, "okay," and they let me have some dollars.

where i live - this is probably common - a house for $150,000 now sells for $300,000 because of pandemic and nobody can afford to sell because there is nowhere to move to because nobody can sell because there is nowhere to move to. because the prices are too high. its like the gift of the magi!

rob, Wednesday, 2 August 2023 16:08 (one year ago)

"clique" was probably a bad word for it. as someone noted upthread there are several different groups that interact irl from time to time so they are naturally more in tune, those can sometimes feel to an outsider like an "in" group

Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 2 August 2023 16:10 (one year ago)

Small towns are scary, it's true, but I take comfort in the fact that the few posters on here who have decided that I am an enemy, or a danger to their sense of well-being, or simply a less than human being and therefore an acceptable target when their irritation requires release, are easy to ignore. We aren't neighbors or relatives. They can't inflict any genuine or lasting misery upon me unless I permit them. No matter how they try, they can't lay a finger on me. It's the posters I respect or admire from whom I accept reproof and take to heart.

I've definitely been burdened with the thread killah self-perception, felt like I was on the outside of the ILX 'cliques' looking in, etc. I guess I just don't concern myself with it as much anymore? At this point, I'm mostly cool with just hanging on the periphery and diggin the vibe (particularly since finally having a job I'm invested in means I no longer get paid to lavish ILXors with toilet-centric bon mots all day long, to the chagrin of everyone).

Small towns are scary, it's true, but I take comfort in the fact that the few posters on here who have decided that I am an enemy, or a danger to their sense of well-being, or simply a less than human being and therefore an acceptable target when their irritation requires release, are easy to ignore. We aren't neighbors or relatives. They can't inflict any genuine or lasting misery upon me unless I permit them. No matter how they try, they can't lay a finger on me. It's the posters I respect or admire from whom I accept reproof and take to heart.

The Original Human Breadbox (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 11 August 2023 01:34 (one year ago)

OK. So. I've been taking some time to process emotionally what went down yesterday, the way I reacted, what is actually going on with me. And because it's me shit and because the maleness and masculinity thread is talking about stuff that has nothing to do with me, I'm putting it here.

It's not about whether or not masculinity is in crisis or anything like that. I'm a woman and so I don't really need to worry about that, about what it means to be a man. I used to worry about that a lot, because I was trying to be a Good Man, but that's just not in the cards for me and never was. I need to let that go.

Here's my actual issue: I'm a woman and I love men. And that is super fucking hard for me.

I don't mean romantically, or sexually, and certainly not fraternally. I do think that unperson was right about that, fraternal love exists and it's not something I was ever able to experience because I'm not a man and never was. As soon as I transitioned, it was such an amazing experience, because immediately I was made welcome, accepted. The sororal love I'd had for women for a long time was accepted and reciprocated. I have to imagine and believe that men experience something similar.

I just think men are really great and I like being around them. I admire men. And the way men started treating me as soon as they realized I wasn't one has been really really uncomfortable for me. Sometimes, not always, I'm afraid of men, in a way I never was when they treated me as one of them. It's not the threat of, you know, violence. It's that men have _power_ that I don't, and they can use that power to hurt me if I'm not sufficiently deferential to them.

That power isn't something that's innate to manhood or natural or anything like that. I had that power, before I transitioned. I didn't realize I had it, but I did. And I feel like maybe that's why women always had to be cautious around me, the way I have to be cautious around men now. Sometimes some women act like I still have that power, which I don't, but I get why someone might think I do.

That power was, I think, a form of privilege, and maybe part of why I think of privilege as a double-edged sword. It kept me at arms' length from women. While women viewed me as a man, I wasn't going to experience sororal love with women, but I felt like a threat around women, because in some sense I was, in some sense _all men_ are, whether they want to be or not.

Because even if a man isn't dangerous, I can't really _know_ that for sure. I feel like I'm always walking around eggshells around men. I feel like if I say the wrong thing, or act the wrong way, they could turn on me, go after me. Or if they don't, some other man could show up and go after me, and then I am put into this situation where I have to protect myself. When that's the situation, it kind of limits how close I can get to men.

The situation yesterday, to me, that's a perfect example. I felt really good about how things were going yesterday. I felt like I was really connecting with men, that I was talking with them about some real shit, and there was some stuff I didn't get, some stuff I got wrong, some cases where I was even, like, _talking over_ men, which isn't something men experience a lot, not the way women do. But the men in this thread, they were kind, and patient, and I trusted... I trust them. It was kind of everything I want from the company of men. It's not something I get often.

And such a fragile thing, because - I'm going to talk about unperson like he isn't here, and I know that's rude, but I don't know how to talk about this without ignoring him, basically. Anyway, he comes roaring in, and he's taken personal offense to something I've said, and he responds by being hostile and, quite honestly, offensive to me personally and to trans people in general. When shit like this happens... I don't think unperson had, or has, any idea what he was actually doing, how he was treating me. I'm going from a situation where I'm able to be vulnerable around men to a situation where I have to be closed-off and defensive. Not only that, but unperson is _personally hurt_ by what I've said and I feel like I have, like, an obligation to explain to him that what I said wasn't a direct attack on him. Not really because I _want_ to soothe him so that he's not hurt, but because of that power he has as a man. It's this hostility, this resentment, that is, in my opinion, most dangerous about men, and I naturally want to de-escalate, defuse what's become a really dangerous and intense situation for me.

And this is hard for me because I have to do this without, like, responding to him in kind. I'm upset with him. He said something that was personally hurtful and offensive and I can't say to him, you know, but also fuck you. I used to say shit like that a lot before I transitioned and... it's not a _loss_ to me that I can't say that. I genuinely don't _want_ to respond in kind to unperson. It doesn't benefit me to respond to him in anger. There's a time and a place for anger and that isn't it.

The best thing to do, I think, would be to acknowledge my anger, to work through my anger and process it before responding. And I didn't do that. Instead I tried to repress my anger, push it down, ignore it, and respond to him calmly and rationally. It was hard work, but I thought it was important, and I feel like I did it well. And then he goes and responds to me like the both of us were having a _rational conversation_, aside from me taking unreasonable offense to his perfectly simple and rational points.

It's at this point that I lose control of my anger. To me, you know, I've gone above and beyond to, like, justify my existence to him, justify to him why I have the _right to have opinions about men_, all without further escalating the hostility and anger he's already expressed to me, which includes not pointing out that he has been personally offensive to me and offensive to trans people in general, and he's not even acknowledging that he's being anything other than objective and rational. I'm angry, and since I've been repressing my anger, it doesn't come out in a healthy way.

In the meantime, what was a really great conversation with men that was making me feel really good has turned on a dime into this really fucking ugly thing where I'm responsible, once again, for tiptoeing around some cishet dude's fragility. And I am responsible, it's clear to me, because of the way other cis guys are chiming in - and it is a thread on maleness and masculinity, so they _are_ absolutely welcome - but they're chiming in to say "I don't know, what unperson says seems perfectly rational to me, what's the problem with it?" Which is a genuinely reasonable and good-faith question to have! These men deserve an answer. I don't want them to feel bad about asking questions like that, because that's how people _learn_. I'm just not really the best person to answer that question under those circumstances, that's all.

It's why I say, why a lot of us say, that it's not our responsibility to explain. There's a lot of pressure. It's an undue burden, a lot of the times, to explain. It's not that I don't want to, it's this constant feeling like I have to drop everything every time some cishet guy gets pissed off about something that's not even about him. And yes, this absolutely is how I behave towards other people sometimes, and I know now - I didn't before, I didn't _have to_ before, not like I do now - how incredibly fucking rude and insulting behavior like that is. I'm working really hard to try and correct this awful behavior I've developed over the course of a lifetime. And that's me. That's not all men. That's me. Most men _don't_ do that, most _people_ don't do that.

The thing is, before I transitioned, that behavior, which has always been unacceptable and inappropriate behavior on my part, was a lot more _accepted_, or at least _tolerated_, than it is now. Particularly because I was, and am, really good at rhetoric. I am really good at framing my emotions as facts, at making my anger, my hostility, and my resentment look reasonable, objective concerns. Like I'm just asking questions. That's a pretty powerful skill to have. It's not an intrinsically male skill. I learned it from a woman. That said, that skill benefited me, before my transition, a lot more than it ever benefited her.

I think I'd feel more comfortable around men, better able to get close to men, if that sort of behavior wasn't tolerated as much as it is.

i'm not asking you for an apology. mostly it's not, like, your responsibility! that was something i kind of had to unlearn, the whole "white man's burden" thing. it's great that you want to put more thought into your posts! unsolicited advice on that front. one of the things me and my primary have started doing is, like, at once point she told me she was on Team Kate. and i was like, i don't want you to be on Team Kate, I want you to be on Team Kate's Girlfriend (i mean i used her name of course). that's something i try to do, since then, when i think about things i think about it in terms of "is this a Team Kate move?" i find that a lot of the times i fuck up, it's because i wasn't on Team Kate.

― juan epshteyn-- r.i.c.o., but suave tambien (Hunt3r)

you don't have to _get_ everything about transness! all you need to get is that trans people know stuff about transness that cis people don't, and when we say something about being trans it's best practice to assume that we know what we're talking about. :) (though we don't, always!) same goes for members of any marginalized group or _non-normative_ group.

Kate i appreciate your resolve to call people in instead of calling them out. It's extremely difficult to balance the resolve you've demonstrated to aid in the recovery of others with the need to protect your own emotional equilibrium and avoid taking on an undue burden of responsibility. Please give yourself permission to snap. Just in general, and especially when someone resists your aid. What you're doing is good and positive, imo it's what this moment calls for broadly speaking. So it's on us collectively to help each other achieve that balance, it can't be all on you.

One's perception of the tilt of a slash character depends on where one imagines the fixed axis or pivot point, which could be at the top, making it similar to a pendulum, or in the middle, making it similar to a propeller, or at the bottom.

Because printed alphabetical and numerical characters in English usually align to a notional horizontal line at their 'base', my imaginary pivot point is at the bottom. And because English reads left to right, a slash where the top is further right than the bottom appears titled forward and when the top is further left than the bottom it appears titled backwards, against the right-to-left motion of the reader's eye.

I had fun writing that.

earosmith (Neanderthal), Thursday, 17 August 2023 02:33 (one year ago)

you don’t need to overcomplicate it by bringing in relativity. just remember light moves at a fixed pace, so the distance it travels in a fixed amount of time (365.25 days, for example) is also a fixed amount

why light moves at a fixed pace? why that pace appears not to change even if we move toward or away from the light? ok now you need to drag in e&m and relativity

I was actually going to do a poll today based on the best selling album in the UK in 1975 and one of the few albums my mum owned, "The Best of the Stylistics", but when I checked the tracklist it didn't have half the songs on it I thought it had.

Monthly Python (Tom D.), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:17 (one year ago)

How do you weirdos even rank albums it just seems very…neurodivergent. I just like stuff without worrying if it’s above or below another album by a completely different artist.

deep wubs and tribral rhythms (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 14:13 (one year ago)

Don't even need to rank them beyond which 50 make the cut of course. I certainly can't get my head around putting my favorites in some kind of specific order like that either.

I hate ranking things in lists, these lists are fun because they're casual and unranked. At the very least I'm finding a few albums in each that I've never heard, but that someone thinks is worth listening to at the same level as a bunch of classics.

there's a ton of reasons why this would be a pointless endeavour for me but other people aren't me and hey, if it makes somebody happy then there are worse things on ILM

i dunno if it has any negative effects on board usability but it's 2023 it's probably a bit late to be fretting about that

il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 15:30 (one year ago)

I'm always fascinated by what people choose to put on their lists. It does take a certain amount of courage to put yourself out there, even (or maybe especially) in a small community like this one.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 15:50 (one year ago)

i think it's a good sign when people want to share, in general. small groups and communities are ideal places to share. i think it's a bad sign when people are worried about getting criticized or looked down upon by their peers for sharing. at the same time, it's very natural to worry about stuff like that, and on the flip side, when people worry about getting criticized it's often because they really respect the taste/opinions of others in the community and they want to live up to what they see as a standard

What I mean is I'm not sure US college rock was about second string indie bands who were on major labels and who were perceived to lack substance or credibility. I thought college rock covered bands like REM, the Replacements, Husker Du as opposed to, er, Cud.

College rock circa 1989 was certainly REM, Replacements, Pixies. It also encompassed more venerable post-punk like Smiths, Cure, Talking Heads. Depeche Mode.

Plus some things that were actually pretty poppy - Blind Melon, Blues Traveler, BNL, etc.

Pontius Pilates (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 31 August 2023 02:30 (one year ago)

I listened to the college radio station KUSF throughout the 80s and from what I remember college rock was a reference to indie bands from the 80. It didn't translate to the 90s

Dan S, Thursday, 31 August 2023 02:37 (one year ago)

ymp those last 3 were definitely not on radio in 89. there were probably some analogous artists, but I can't think who atm

peace, man, Thursday, 31 August 2023 02:40 (one year ago)

89/90 maybe Tracy Chapman, Suzanne Vega.

90, Sundays? NIN?

You're correct, though - Blind Melon, Smashing Pumpkins, Goo Goo, Hootie etc would have been more like 92/93.

deep wubs and tribral rhythms (Boring, Maryland), Thursday, 31 August 2023 03:05 (one year ago)

A non-commercial educational station (NCE station) is a radio station or television station that does not accept on-air advertisements (TV ads or radio ads), as defined in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and was originally intended to offer educational programming as part, or whole, of its programming. NCE stations do not pay broadcast license fees for their non-profit uses of the radio spectrum. Stations which are almost always operated as NCE include public broadcasting, community radio, and college radio, as well as many religious broadcasting stations.

On the FM broadcast band, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has reserved the lowest 20 channels, 201~220 (88.1~91.9 MHz) for NCE stations only. This is known as the reserved band, sometimes known by the term "left of the dial" (taken from the Replacements song of the same name)

I wept because I had no shoes until I met a person who had no feet.

i was watching a documentary on lon chaney and they talked about the getup chaney used to convincingly pass as someone who had both legs amputated and my girlfriend asked if i was watching a film about kink. then the doco talked about how chaney did "the hunchback of notre dame" and she didn't believe me when i said i wasn't watching a film about kink.

the point is that i don't get that aphorism. not just because there's no use crying over lost feet, but because there are all kinds of reasons people lose their feet. i mean, most of those reasons are tragic, but maybe the person in question had apotemnophilia. i'm not gonna judge.

I stopped going to specific boards here a long time ago, always weird to hear references to ilm specifically or something... it’s all one place via “site new answers” for me. If I actually start a thread I’ll pay attention to where it belongs but that’s it.

oh no

that is not at all what i meant re: skot

he is one of my absolutely favorite posters and i missed him over the last several years!

my bad for posting drunk (although that's not likely to stop me in the future)

anyway: i love you skot (and also i'm sorry that you & your wife are no longer running that radio station on the vinyard)

mookieproof, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 03:21 (one year ago)

no problem. love you too. in the future i would like to be referred to as "once-prolific image-bomber" though.

and ironically i was JUST thinking last night about how drunk i used to be on ilx. i used to drink a lot. i can remember late at night covering one eye just so i could read ilx. i would search painstakingly for individual letters on the keyboard just to post something stupid. it could take hours!

i stopped getting drunk about 5 years ago though when i started my long painful non-smoking journey. and stopped drinking entirely last summer.

but i am all for drunk posting. drink and post away!

my non-smoking sorta coincided with me not being here. i wanted to die for about two years straight. it was ugly. but allswellthatendswell.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 18 September 2023 18:04 (one year ago)

Board lawyers (boring arseholes) insist you start an old thread rather than a new one and posts links to old ones.

Only problem is that people then respond to the og post than the revive

Toshirō Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Monday, 18 September 2023 18:19 (one year ago)

xp that’s good though. Places can calcify. Sometimes you read a thread from twenty or even ten years ago and it’s pretty awful reading, you know? People also are too beholden to stuff like not bumping old threads out of respect for discussions for twenty years ago; and honestly? Who cares.

ydkb (gyac), Monday, 18 September 2023 18:40 (one year ago)

Some old threads are best left unopened imo

Toshirō Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Monday, 18 September 2023 18:47 (one year ago)

you can usually guess who and what 00s ILM is going to be repulsive about and how so it would be nice to have new threads as a general rule in those cases unless someone is actually willing to go through and delete the worst offenders

Left, Monday, 18 September 2023 19:06 (one year ago)

even if the bad stuff is 20 years old and the current discussion is totally unrelated it's still a drag to see it at the top all the time and I'm sure it discourages many people from engaging more (which was the point at the time ofc)

even the essential infrastructure is a bit of a myth... the first time ilxors were referred to as "time lords" wasn't until seven years into the board's history, for instance.

My most wholesome thoughts are with the people of the Republic of Ecuador. May they survive and thrive. I wish them peace and prosperity.

That said, my stupid dad-joke pun-brain is going freaking WILD, yo.

Like, is a "millennial banana heir" someone who inherited thousand-year-old bananas? Or merely someone who has inherited bananas that were born around the year 2000?

And... hear me out.. isn't there a common phrase for a republic run by a banana magnate? Maybe, um, could one potentially call it.. a... republic of bananas?

Wankin' on Bobo

― don't let days go by, Listerine (Ye Mad Puffin)

everybody remembers the album as being called "The Clones of Dr. Wankenstein", but all the copies of the album clearly say "The Clones of Dr. Wankenstain". This is an example of the "Mandela Effect", which has in turn led to widespread conspiracy theories about alternate timelines.

To me, though, it's all about the pronunciation of "Wankenstain" on the iconic title track:

We love to wank you, Wankenstain! Your wank is the best!
Take my body, give it the mind to wank with the rest.

It's spelled "Wankenstain", but it's prounced "stein", not "stain".

That's not to say that we're not in some fucked-up alternate timeline, or that there might not be some timeline where it's spelled "Wankenstein". I've always thought of it as "Wankenstain". I mean, there's a pun there, right? That's the whole point.

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 31 October 2023 15:22 (one year ago)

Further notes:

Various online sources give the lyrics to the second line as "Wank my body and give it the mind...", however, the official lyrics, as found in the 1996 Parliament/Wankadelic box set "Give Up the Wank: Tear the Roof off the Wanker" confirm that the lyrics do in fact go "Take my body, give it the mind...". Another argument against the so-called "Mandela Effect" is that we sometimes _misremember things_. If our memories were to be trusted, the lyrics to all of Parliament/Wankadelic's songs would just be a load of wanks.

It's also of note that Parliament's use of "Wankenstain" to refer to the doctor accords with the terminology used by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's classic novel _Wankenstein_ - and note here that Shelley _does_ refer to the novel as "Wankenstein" and not "Wankenstain", another probably reason for the confusion. The "Wankenstain" pun just wouldn't have worked in Shelley's day - although "wank" to refer to masturbation was well-attested by this point, the use of "wankstain" to refer to the discharge produced by masturbation had not come into widespread use yet.

Shelley, it is often noted by pedants, used the term "Wankenstein" exclusively to refer to Doctor Victor von Wankenstein. However, it is equally incorrect to refer to "Wankenstein's Monster". It is hardly credible to refer what Shelley consistently refers to as "the Creature" as a "monster" - based on context clues within Shelley's original novel, it is unlikely to be more than nine inches - hardly what I would call "monstrous" proportions! Why, I've taken...

Ahem.

In any event, understanding of Shelley's work has perhaps suffered a little bit from later adaptations, adaptations which significantly alter her source material. In particular, the visual appearance of the creature in James Whale's iconic 1931 film bears no resemblance whatsoever to the creature in Shelley's book. In addition, the behavior of Whale's creature is entirely different. While in Whale's movie, the creature makes no more than guttural outbursts, in the original novel, the creature is intelligent and articulate. I'm certainly sympathetic to the transmasculine contemporary reading of "Wankenstein", but it's not one that's necessarily reflective of Shelley herself.

Indeed, "Wankenstein" is one of those works of art which has engendered (no pun intended) both transmasculine _and_ transfeminine readings. Unlike with other works to garner such interpretations such as "The Addams Family" and "The Legend of Zelda", transmasculine and transfeminine meanings accrue to different versions of the work. The transmasculine reading primarily takes as its source material the film by James Whale, a cisgender homosexual man. In contrast, the transfeminine reading, as expressed in the seminal "trans studies" essay "My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix: Performing Transgender Rage" (take a shot), takes as its origin the original novel written by Mary Shelley, a cisgender heterosexual woman (making allowances for the fact that both "cisgender" and "heterosexual" are anachronistic terms when applied to Shelley's era.)

Hi "mental retardation" was and is the actual medical term for my son's condition.

Calling it a "developmental delay" is not really an interesting improvement.

Because despite social connotations, "retarded" and "delayed" are synonymous. They both just mean "late." Or "later than expeected."

There isn't a good word for "never."

We don't really have good words for "your child will never speak, read, or write." We don't have good words for "your child will never dress himself or become toilet trained or feed himself."

I discovered at an EHCP meeting a couple of years back that references in his college dairy to "private time" meant he has a room where he can privately masturbate, which doesn't involve him exposing himself to anybody, he basically humps a cushion with his clothes on. It's hard to explain to some people how stuff like this is part of the human condition and extremely important for an autistic young adult to self-regulate and have a stable existence. But yeah, I just felt like posting it here!

there's really good ted talks, but they usually involve the speaker playing an instrument or an already established performer goofing around. a good example of a good one of these is mark applebaum's. idk anything else about him, but i obviously want to play his DID instrument. but i can't, so i try to play guitar - and that's what ?i think? ted talks were supposed to be in the first place: motivational speakers. anyway, they're mostly overwhelmingly terrible.

maybe read this if you would like further clarification of my earlier post. i am not trying to push buttons. i promise: part of my liberal use of the word comes from desensitization to it in childhood. one relative's nickname for me was "the retard" so even though i knew what it meant, it became meaningless pretty early on. i'm not looking for pity or sympathy, just wanted to give a little extra info. the joke i was making in that post is that only complete assholes use the word for any other reason than its proper definition. and to bring this back around to the crux: how many times have you been listening to a ted talk and thought, "this guy's an asshole"?

again: full apologies.

YMP/Calzino/Aimless - My cousin (and one of my fave ever people) was retarded and for a very long time I struggled with what to refer to him as because I wasn't sure but I think mentally retarded really was the used and most appropriate term. He couldn't speak, read or write and needed help with almost everything. Towards the end he could have done with some "private time" because that was becoming an issue. These are very real things that have to be considered at a certain age. I can't imagine how difficult it is for all of you. Lots of love.

one thought i've had recently is that in some ways using social media (which i do) is like using a megaphone. it's really tough to be nuanced on a megaphone! and i think if you just hand a megaphone to someone, you are likely to get very silly results. it is incredibly annoying when goofy kids find a megaphone. it's also incredibly annoying when talkative adults use a megaphone. megaphones are useful for distributing information in chaotic situations. some people were born to hold a megaphone and to point it at people while talking. other people should be banned from using it altogether. one version of free speech is a bunch of people screaming at each other with megaphones while never listening to anyone else. another is for people to speak to each other at moderate volumes. it's possible to use a megaphone for good but in general we've learned not to use them.

sorry to get meta here, but to make this an experimental ilx post i'll break the 4th wall - i'm just totally goofing off here. i know it's not great but i like to write and sometimes other people like it. but also it's confusing to some people who might expect me (not "me", but anyone in this situation) to be speaking literally or formally or persuasively or, maybe to even have a point. having a point is something that is considered essential by so many people! some people, posters on ilx, people irl, seem to always have a point, and hold their tongue unless there's a reason for it. i admire and really adore these people, you are like gods to me! there are some things beyond me that i could eventually reach by practicing or trying to understand it, but in the case of having a point i feel like an ant trying to emulate a tank. all these words should supposedly add up to something, but i've always found the most joy in piecing it all together and rearranging things.

posting this on the second thoughts thread because it's an example of a second thought which isn't about tearing someone down, but is instead about some total bullshit

rly appreciate that post z_ . fwiw i always have felt that the relative user consistency at ilx makes it a sorta special online environment (in addition to posters mostly being v high-knowledge/advanced insight).

i’ve not met a single poster irl i think, and yet i am able to maintain a pretty consistent sense of individual poster’s preferred posting ‘modes’ (as to analytic/persuasive/feels/humor). as such i hear some megaphones and can go “oh that’s just x doing their thing.”

i've had a chance to reflect on my stage fright/fear-of-being-observed lately b/c i've been gradually DJing in front of more and more people, and i think part of my reticence is rooted in a fear of a lack of control over how i'm being perceived, and maybe more specifically fear of the possibility that everyone else will see something obvious that i'm missing about myself, thereby exposing myself as a fraud/idiot. but maybe that's just rationalization for the basic fact that some of us get off on performing for others and some of us are drained by it

is there a thread for being completely out of touch with the cultural zeitgeist

i'm looking up this show called "DAVE" (which at least is capitalized, you can't have a show called "DAVE" and not at least ironically capitalize it) and it turns out to star novelty rapper lil dicky

who i have also learned still exists

and also that he has hypospadias

also only about 10% of people with hypospadias are intersex

does anybody younger than 40 actually call themselves "DAVE"? it seems like one of those names like "Obadiah" which are currently reserved exclusively for villainous CEOs

you know, this has to be the longest clarification on a disambiguation page i've ever seen

This article is about the British rapper. For the American rapper from De La Soul, see David Jude Jolicoeur. For the TV series about a rapper called Dave, see Dave (TV series). For the Dutch singer, see Dave (singer).
"Dave Omoregie" redirects here. For the Welsh track and field hurdler, see David Omoregie.

so anyway "dave" is still a name people have, that's good to know. like i said, i'm out of touch with the cultural zeitgeist!

having a radio station named dave reminds me of this mst3k sketch from... like, 30 years ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUr32SI5YTE

i did listen to the rapper dave, lil dicky is one of those guys i wouldn't listen to based on his name. honestly these days i feel like making your rap name a brag about having a small penis would impress me, but ten years ago it didn't

there's also a banking app named dave. i'd say i wouldn't trust my money with anyone named "dave" but it seems to do some variation on loansharking, which ain't exactly about "trust". is "dave" not an intimidating name for a loanshark?

personally I don't know any daves myself only a couple of davids but I don't exactly seek them out. as a brand name it seems to project a sort of slumming homosocial mateyness which is always a good thing to be wary of. the UK channel name is very much "90s lad culture triangulated with tweeness and irony" which is a truly hideous cocktail. the dave watcher is very much what the kids would call a "type of guy" - he posts in facebook groups with names like "awfully british problems" and if he's not actually called dave he might as well be

otm, mike is fucking great

i'm sure there are other reasons to not listen to lil dicky but i've avoided him successfully enough based on his name alone that i don't know those reasons

i listened to a song by that popular rapper named dave. it was ok i guess.

tier ranking of daves in my music library:

great:
brubeck
davies
douglas
gilmour
holland
stewart (the one from hatfield and the north)
van ronk

good:
bixby
grusin
macon
pike
sucky (yes that's right, dave sucky is actually good)

mid:
brock
clark
day (from the monks)
edmunds
lowe (did the soundtrack for "double dragon 2" on the C64)
vanian

there are actually other daves in my library but i'm just gonna leave it at that

as far as non-musical associations there's dave winfield, who played for the yankees when i was a kid. i think i met him when he was doing a promotional appearance to tell kids to stay off drugs, which may or may not have been court-mandated. there's dave barry, who was a popular newspaper humor columnist back when there were such things as newspaper humor columns. they made a tv show named after him. harry anderson played him. it ran for four seasons. comedy tends to age poorly, and i suspect that dave barry's work is no exception. i loved his stuff when i was a kid.

and then there's dave chappelle.

moving on. this song is good. i like this song.

I have a couple of kids experimenting with Ash. I had a Mordecai last year, which is an awesome name. No 'X's as yet. So many trans and trans-curious kids navigating the 'parent thing' and suddenly appearing at the door on parents' evening, panicking, asking me not to use their chosen name. Resisting the urge to glance at the kid and wink a 'sorry' as I use their deadname is tough.

I would prefer not to. (Chinaski), Friday, 8 December 2023 21:04 (one year ago)

Lots of folks navigating that, Chinaski.

We adapted (with a few occasional slipups). Others, not so much. We know some kids who are still not as out as they would possibly like to be.

It's a learning process, and for some families and schools it is a tougher process. Even in liberal areas, I know of situations where teachers and administrators just couldn't quite deal with it. My fervent hope is that people continue to learn and grow, with empathy as their guide.

; Powell (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 8 December 2023 21:19 (one year ago)

I've only got experience from the teacher side. I'm conscious of painting myself as some pioneer or brave soldier; that's absolutely not the intention. Honestly, there's no guidance to speak of, so empathy and compassion are the only recourse.

― I would prefer not to. (Chinaski)

most women's names end in either vowel sounds or soft consonant sounds. that's why i went with "kate". long vowel sound and both consonants are plosives. according to japanese morning television*, this makes me the COVID-19 version of typhoid mary. although in japan i guess they'd just call me "typhoid newhalf". that's it. that's my new discord username. anyway yeah. i wanted the most phonetically "masculine"-coded name i could come up with that was still unambiguously a woman's name. now i can sneer at men with beta names like "dave". excuse me, a _velar_? you expect to make partner with a _velar_ consonant in your name? also, those consonants? both voiced. if you don't sound like an engine backfiring when you tell people your name, you're obviously not man enough.

the main thing i associate with non-binary names is complete badassery. more punk than punk. sure, you could call yourself "sid vicious". or you could just change your name legally to "vicious" or "arson" or something.

"cunt Musk" makes him sound far more alluring than he is in reality

i used to know a "gretchen". i can't remember if she changed her name to something else or if we just fell out of touch.

names i'm most familiar with are transfemme names... lotta roses, lotta madeleines. "oliver" is a reasonably popular transmasc name. if you're not gonna name yourself "machete" at least. of all the things people complain about re: trans people's names, that's the thing i understand the least. that we have weird names. like i can pick anything in the world as a name, why would i pick a dull, boring-ass name like kate?

... i mean no such thing as bad names, i guess. same goes for "chasen/jayden"... if the people who have those names don't like them, they can always change them. you don't actually have to start hormones to change your name.

one of the women in "book of the new sun" is named "dorcas". honestly it scans given how fucking massively misogynist that book is. (funnily enough i didn't pick up on how deeply misogynist it was until i reread it after transition. go figure.)

funny thing i just realized recently about names... my mom wanted to give me an irish name but my dad was dead-set against it... he fought hard until their last child, at which point he relented. my youngest sibling doesn't go by that name now, of course. then when i changed my name is... it's just "kate", which can be derived from any number of names. some of them are irish!

Dorcas is a good biblical name and i don't think kids say dorkus any more so I think it should be safe

most of my favourite names are diminutives. also they tend to be easier to masculinise or feminise or androgynise. they feel more fun somehow. I might feel different if I'd been born with one

Margaret and its derivatives are pretty interesting to me. My wife is an Elizabeth, for which there may be almost as many variants (Liz, Liza, Eliza, Beth, Betsy, Betty, etc.). See also Anne to Nancy.

i love burgess meredith, but the premise kind of falls apart if you look at it sideways.

so let me get this right. it's a story about a man who is apparently legally blind in a world where reading is taboo, despite there being writing everywhere and the continued publication of periodicals. his boss yells at him for being bad at his job, but his boss doesn't yell at him for not being able to make change right, his boss yells at him for _reading on his lunch break_. and not just, like, books. it's not like "what you readin' for?" kind of stuff. no, he gets yelled at for _reading the labels_. so what the fuck do they do instead? do they just not do anything for entertainment? they have to do _something_. we don't see it. it's probably the most weaksauce dystopia ever. that's it? that's the whole dystopia? it's like our world except everyone thinks _reading is bad_?

maybe i'm indulging in presentism. writing from 2023, i can see what a post-literate society would look like, and there's nothing really dystopian about it. it's just, like, there are other ways of communicating information, communications media that have both advantages and disadvantages compared to the written word.

i mean, am i missing something here? there's some genuinely good twilight zone episodes, but i don't get how _this_ is considered one of the greats.

When I was younger, I thought Smith's monologue in The Matrix about humanity being a virus was uncomfortably close to the truth.

H.P, Friday, 22 December 2023 14:50 (one year ago)

True and prognosis isn’t great but I’d argue too that it’s never been good. Many of our ancestors lived with vastly more uncertainty than us - they just weren’t aware of the exact scope and scale like we were. I was looking at some of the old census records of part of my family a few years back and fifty years after the Famine, there is a household of my ancestors where the oldest of them would have been adults during that time. They would have survived seeing people dig in the dirt for roots to eat, possibly may have been those people themselves. Unimaginable to me, their modern descendant , a period of human suffering so profound that we don’t even really talk about it even today. Yet here on paper they were, a flourishing household, and enough context clues to suggest a happy one. The human suffering of their lifetimes didn’t exist in their actions: they still wanted love and families and to continue. Nothing is guaranteed in life, not security or happiness for any of us, and it’s cliche thinking but it is so for a reason: we could all be dead tomorrow, so exist in the moment.

jimbeaux, you don't have to agree with what I'm going to post, but here are a few remarks:

A far from hirstute fella with two nieces and a godson, all of whom I adore to distraction, I try to leave a world better for them and me. I work in local politics. I try to write beautiful things. I try to translate the beautiful things to them and readers. But I think of Eliot:

Trying to use words, and every attempt
Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure
Because one has only learnt to get the better of words
For the thing one no longer has to say, or the way in which
One is no longer disposed to say it.

and I've realized I can't chew my nails in worry about the world I might leave them! They must make their own way. All I can do is teach them to shun complacency, do good, and revel in beautiful things. I have to have faith that they can do it.

poppers fueled buttsex crescendo (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 22 December 2023 15:05 (one year ago)

Thank you all <3

I think what (sometimes) causes me to despair is the sheer unnecessariness of so much of the destruction we visit upon ourselves and the world. It's history's biggest own goal.

Maybe that sounds cliché, but it sometimes drives me to distraction, especially as I get older.

CthulhuLululemon (Ye Mad Puffin), Tuesday, 26 December 2023 02:59 (one year ago)

part of my reticence is rooted in a fear of a lack of control over how i'm being perceived, and maybe more specifically fear of the possibility that everyone else will see something obvious that i'm missing about myself, thereby exposing myself as a fraud/idiot.

i'm not sure when, or why, i stopped caring about this, or if it's for the better. but you're right about not being able to control how you're perceived. if it matters, the flipside is you're probably just as oblivious to the things people appreciate about you. ime, at least.

But, I often despair at our seemingly endless ability to destroy our own habitat, and think that the Earth as a whole would be better off without us.

this stuff weighs on me a lot too. humanocentrism bugs me a lot. watching videos about the solar system and things like that makes me feel a little better, and also worse. I mean to know that Earth is not just the place to be, it's the time and place. There's no reason to feel FOMO ever because you are at the epicenter of space time just by virtue of existing. the stars have aligned - quite literally - for all this to happen. And it's for now, not forever.

i, too, was heavily philosophically influenced by _the matrix_

Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 4 January 2024 21:17 (one year ago)

that's not a joke btw. i mean it's a joke but i also sincerely mean it. pre-transition i was very into antinatalism, very into cioran. i still think cioran is fucking hilarious. my life has taken me in a path diametrically opposite to his, though. these books of his - "The Temptation to Exist", "The Trouble With Being Born". i gave into that temptation. if there's trouble with being born, i choose to make it.

my philosophical belief in the value of human existence was ultimately solipsistic, a stand-in for my own feelings about the value of my own existence. i understood my existence as meaningless, painful, and stupid and this life as a sort of hell.

my life was, in fact, hell, at least by the definition of andre malraux:

The attempt to force human beings to despise themselves is what I call hell.

i no longer despise myself. i love myself. i'm proud of myself. i don't think of myself as a "good person" or a "bad person" or any kind of person at all, but my existence has meaning, and if my existence has meaning, human existence cannot truly be said to be meaningless.

that meaning is, in the larger scale of things, ephemeral. i am going to die. i've had a hell of a time while i've been here, though. a hell of a time. transition hasn't "fixed" me, but i can say this: never once since i accepted myself as trans have i wished i'd never been born.

Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 4 January 2024 21:26 (one year ago)

Meaninglessness by definition is value-neutral, though. A meaningless life is neither heaven nor hell; it's just life. I am alive; so is the grass. I absolutely believe in the meaninglessness of existence, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying any aspect of my life.

Tahuti Watches L&O:SVU Reruns Without His Ape (unperson), Thursday, 4 January 2024 22:40 (one year ago)

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 4 January 2024 23:07 (one year ago)

i mean it's one of those things i don't know how to describe... i went from not existing to existing. apparently this is not just a thing i can actually do but a thing everybody else does and takes for granted. i don't. i didn't get this for free. it cost me a lot, and i'm fucking lucky because some people, it costs more than they have. fear of death, enjoyment, all of this stuff, i don't know, meaning for me is to just _exist_ for its own sake. whatever else i'm doing, easy, hard, i exist. i'm human. i should be a misanthrope? i should hate humans because of the awful shit a lot of us do? no, no, seriously, this is fucking amazing and i can't imagine _ever_ taking that for granted.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 20 January 2024 01:13 (one year ago)

No idea.

My suspicion is that vampirism is associated with eastern and central Europe. Garlic is more associated with western and southern European cuisines.

So if you're a Transylvanian or Romanian vampire, you might find the cuisines of France, Spain, Greece, and Italy a bit offputting.

(I sincerely apologize to any vampires who are reading this. I try not to stereotype, but vampires are not historically very skilled at public relations.)

Wine not? (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 20 January 2024 01:24 (one year ago)

Someone once told me that if you rub garlic on your feet, you will be able to taste it before too long.

I've never actually tried to verify.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 20 January 2024 01:29 (one year ago)

You are probably safe from vampires who also have a foot fetish. Just sayin.

Wine not? (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 20 January 2024 01:33 (one year ago)

Like I said, I do agree with Scott Adams that... like, I personally do live in a state of war.

i should probably clarify this bit lol

i've never been in nam or iraq or any shit like that and maybe i'm, like, diminishing people's actual experiences in actual wars by saying that. i don't know. has anyone here been in an actual war the way people usually think of it? well, if i'm an asshole for saying i feel like i'm in a war, i'm an asshole

with scott adams war is "kill or be killed", it's that old patton quote where "war isn't about dying for your country, it's about making the other poor bastard die for his", and i guess i'm the other poor bastard. i think that patton quote is bullshit, the way generals look at it. to me war is about one thing and one thing only - not dying. i feel like it's a war because there are a lot of people in power who very clearly want those of us who fly the good ol' pink white and blue dead and and are putting that power to use in organized ways

it feels like a war because you never see the one that has your name on it. it feels like war because any of us could go at any time for no reason at all. it feels like war because there's some nebulous idea of "normal life" out there but i don't know where it is or what i'd do if we got there. it feels like war because i have no idea what's going to happen, good or bad. it feels like war because we could _lose_, and i'm very aware of it, and very aware of the possible thing that could to us if we did, and i try not to think about it. it feels like war because i try to make some meaning in my life besides survival but it feels like a ridiculous charade. it feels like war because the idea of being a "civilian" is ridiculous and absurd. it doesn't matter that i don't carry a gun and don't actually want to kill anybody. i'm one of _them_.

so yeah i do feel like i'm living in the middle of a war. it's not one i want. it's one i hope ends soon. i'm not the one fighting it, though, so it's not up to me. all i'm trying to do is continue to exist in the face of people who are very very upset, like scott adams-level upset, about my existing.

While the eggs are frying, prepare an ice bath: fill a bowl full of cold water, with 1 cup of ice cubes. This ice bath will stop the eggs from cooking when you remove them from the pan. When the timer goes off, kill the heat and immediately move the fried eggs from the pan with a spatula to the ice bath.

As a hater, I’m torn on this. Yes otm on one hand, “I don’t care about this” is such a worthless opinion it’s actually pointless to post and yet people continue to do so; otoh if you don’t relate to or care about something it’s really important that everyone knows that, preferably at length, and it’s not remotely irritating.

On the latter subject, the mute threads function is really handy and has almost entirely curbed my tendencies to click into threads that I know are annoying to me, so great work stet, huge improvement to the sna experience.

don't wanna hijack ivy's "writers you think are bad" thread, however, i do think it's interesting and i do have Thoughts about it

yes why bother writing a good essay when you can write a bad one

― ivy.

this is genuinely interesting to me, because i've been writing bad essays for most of my life

for most of my life i've had this compulsion to write. and while other people can get by by writing my little pony fanfiction - which is, i think, an _excellent_ use of a person's creative talents - for whatever reason i keep writing _critical essays_.

a lot of them are bad

i didn't write them _for_ anyone in particular - just wrote them because i felt like i had to. why both writing a bad essay when i could write a good one?

sometimes i work really hard at writing, work really hard at it and write something that is probably good. i don't feel a sense of _satisfaction_ about having done it. mostly i'm glad to be done with it.

what i can never figure out is what the fuck to _do_ with my writing

the thing that amazes me about oyler is that she actually went to all the work to get her work _published_

lots of different people can write, but like. even getting to the _point_ where one can be reviewed is...

i kind of agree with the idea that "no one should be popular"! i'm not a big fan of the concept of "popularity". particularly writing something where...

the idea of being a "bad thinker" particularly connects with me. the parallel to being a "bad writer", which to me suggests writing as a _craft_

i think i kind of understand what's meant by someone being a "bad thinker" - someone who starts with a premise and reaches a conclusion that's either irrelevant or just plain wrong. it might be that "thinking" in that way is a craft the way writing is a craft.

i guess that's where my attempts at critical essays come from... the way i write is a sort of aid to structuring my thinking. when i try to figure things out in my head it doesn't always go so good. when i write things out on paper it's easier to come up with meaningful conclusions. meaningful to me, at least.

-

it's the idea of criticism _itself_ that gets me. so i'm writing for myself, but who else? as a critical writer, i'm highly sensitive to the power of criticism. i even surprise myself sometimes with my lack of resilience. i haven't read this oyler person's work. it reminds me of a video essay i watched about... i think it was about the Hobbit video game. i transcribed the part of it that resonates me, that helps me remind myself that writing isn't a bad thing, even if i'm a bad writer, even if i'm a bad thinker. i'm just gonna paste it here... i think it says things better than i could.

I'm not sure a culture where we respond to failure with anger and hatred is such a good thing.

Creating things is hard. Do you know what happens to most things people create? Nothing. Nothing happens, because most people never share their creations with the world.

Creating things is hard, and it can be particularly hard to keep going in spite of that. It can be hard to deal with the constant fear of failure, the prospect of disappointing yourself or other people, and the pain of not making something as good as you want it to be and believe yourself capable of.

I think this kind of fear of failure and self-doubt probably holds many people back in life. I think that's a great shame, because the number one way to make something good is usually to fail a bunch of times. Unless you're very lucky, failure is the best teacher you will ever have. Failure is useful. Failure is necessary. Failure is normal. It is a part of creation, and if we want people to create good things - games or otherwise - failure should probably be allowed.

So maybe we should avoid vilifying it.

-

ok, and i'm still a _critical writer_. that's what i do. it is so _easy_ to vilify. i've seen so much writing that's truly bad. that's without even bringing bad thinking into it. i don't think people do bad things _because_ of bad thinking. i think bad thinking is a manifestation of something else, something that's not fundamentally intellectual in nature. i'm not sure how relevant that is, though? one's _motive_ for bad thoughts, bad actions, doesn't necessarily matter... what matters is the results.

critics, i guess... i feel like part of what i do is make arguments for what those results... _ought_ to be. like, there is a _should_ implicit in all criticism. it promotes the critic's particular set of values. all of this talk... vulnerability, radical acceptance... and yet my work is fundamentally driven by my values. criticism is rooted in a lack of acceptance. while i can appreciate the vulnerability someone displays by saying something wrong... it doesn't alter that wrongness. sometimes it doesn't matter that a person is wrong.

to me a lot of the time it doesn't matter to me that someone is wrong, that someone is a bad thinker. there was that thread on cerebus... dave sim is someone who i would classify without hesitation as a "bad thinker". he reaches conclusions of staggering wrongness. certain sorts of wrongness - either qualitatively or quantitatively - are effectively immune to criticism due to their distance from the would-be critic's worldview.

if i'm gonna criticize, i'd prefer it to be criticism of work like sim's. a sort of inquiry into _otherness_. i'm inclined to think that it's bad criticism to write about something one doesn't understand, but there's _so much_ about this fucking world i don't understand. criticism for me isn't a debate on the merits of a work or lack thereof. it's making sense of the insensible. it's, often, me shaking my head and saying "Why was this published? Who's the audience for this shit?"

"nobody should be popular"... i think what i agree with most about that is that i have this very radical sense of egalitarianism about me. it's not entirely healthy - the fundamental motivation is my belief that nobody should be having a worse time than me. i don't think the belief itself is _wrong_, though. it is, in some sense, unjust when bad writing is exalted. the injustice is, well. the existence of _critics_. people who say "this is good", "this is bad". the problem is that, well... everyone's a critic. in the early days of the internet, these libertarians would say "the answer to bad speech is more speech". patent nonsense. just as nonsensical, i think, is any idea that the answer to criticism is more criticism.

-

i guess i write criticism because i need to, because it's one of the best ways i can think of to express my values. the thing about criticism is that no matter one's intent, it does, i think, bend towards personal conflict. i'm in favor of conflict, honestly. it's difficult for me to do conflict well. i got a tendency towards the performative. that kind of thing cheapens criticism, in my book. well, at least... it goes against my current values.

i think it's important for bad writers to have the opportunity to become better writers, and bad thinkers to have the opportunity to become better thinkers. that mindset is... difficult for me to cultivate.

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 9 April 2024 19:55 (one year ago)

Honestly, a metal vocalist who went full spluttering Donald Duck would be pretty amazing.

― Instead of create and send out, it pull back and consume (unperson)

not a metal vocalist, but scott walker on "the escape" does the most terrifying donald duck impression i have ever heard

admittedly i haven't heard any other donald duck impressions i could describe as "terrifying"

as far as ultimatum goes, i do genuinely feel bad for the vocalist - i mean, i got a speech impediment myself.

having said that, first, if someone wrote a review of my christian metal band's album and made fun of me for talking like donald duck, i wouldn't go after the person who said it. i mean if you're reviewing the record and the singer has a speech impediment it seems reasonably fair to point it out. my speech impediment is a large part of the reason i'm not a christian metal band singer. i mean, it's more important to me that i'm not a christian and i'm a pretty bad singer, but the speech impediment is definitely in there.

the best metal version of the popeye theme i've heard is on chunktrade's 2003 demo.

The thing is, I'm never sure how to receive your political opinions/judgments, because they omit so much context (taken here to mean "the reality of life on Earth") that they're really nothing but "assume a can opener" rhetorical jacking-off. The position you stake out in virtually every political discussion here, no matter the specific circumstance you're commenting on, is never, ever going to happen, and I'm sure you know that. Which makes me wonder how you can get so frothy-mouthed about condemning anyone attempting to propose strategies that lie within the boundaries of "things that might actually happen in the society we currently inhabit." Like, where do you think the whole "join me in my dream world or you're a fascist!" thing gets anyone, you included?

the cynical view that "change ain't gonna happen so it's no use fighting for it"

Change — positive change, even — happens all the time. Just today, the Biden administration announced a new rule which states that doctors cannot give patients' medical records to law enforcement in other states. So if someone from Texas travels to Colorado for an abortion, doctors in Colorado will not be permitted to give Texas law enforcement that patient's medical records.

But the kind of "change" advocated around here is too often along the lines of "if we can get everyone to give up capitalism, heteronormativity, and monotheistic religion, everything will be great! and anything short of that is a worthless capitulation to the forces of evil!" Which serves nothing and no one.

I dunno unperson, that sounds like some broad brushwork that doesn’t take into consideration and sincerity and specificity of said posters. If you want to reduce it all down to “kill capitalism, heteronormativity, monotheism”, that’s your choice. But I more often see actual helpful critique and analysis of specific events. YMMV

xp well, your example of positive change exists in the context of a massive rollback of rights occurring under a Democratic administration, sure, it's something, but I don't blame people for wanting more.

― JoeStork

for me it's first and foremost a question of _trust_ - "do i trust these people to speak for me, to act on my behalf?" for me, since 2016, that answer has been fundamentally "no". there are a couple of reasons here:

1. perceived/demonstrated lack of efficacy. the one thing which broke my faith in democracy, in the democratic party, more than anything else was clinton's failure to _beat trump_. i think your point also goes to this, joe - for decades one of the democrats' key priorities has been to protect roe v. wade, and they failed to do that. democrats i suppose will argue that they did everything they reasonably could. i disagree. in light of that, making a temporary administrative change which can and will be rolled back immediately the second any republican gets into office... i won't say it's _worthless_, but of significantly lesser value to me than, say, roe v. wade being the law of the united states was.

one of my big beefs with the democrats is that they continually let their adversaries shift the goalposts. republicans break _the rules_, get away with it, and then those are the "rules" which the democrats then try to play by. i had in me a very strong streak of realpolitik - i was willing to excuse a great deal in the name of _winning_. democrats' chief priority to me seems to be to minimize threats to their internal institutional power structure. anybody can be a democrat - as long as they're ok with doing things the DNC's way.

in other words, my subjective perception is that the DNC is able to enforce power and control within the confines of the democratic party, but not outside of those confines. this is not a recipe for a strategically robust organization, imo.

i mean i'm gonna be honest my denunciation of capitalism, cisheteronormativity, and repressive patriarchal religion is to a large part born out of frustration. i can't say that the biden administration _hasn't_ done anything for me. i have had for years had the chance to fill out paperwork to update the gender on my social security card. i mean it's nice but the idea of bureaucratic paperwork fills me with dread. i haven't done it. there's this huge rush among people i know - if you need to do something, get it done before november. get your surgeries done, your paperwork updated, your passports in order, because after november, you might not have the chance. i just don't have my shit together enough. i don't know where my passport is. one more of a million things on my backlog. and i guess if i don't do it, i might wind up dying because of that. that should motivate me. it doesn't.

ideas, words... they're easy when one has no real power, no real choice in one's own life. yelling about capitalism is, well. i don't know how else to describe it. people around me are suffering and hurt, and none of us have enough, and none of us are truly able to help each other effectively. we need more. more money, more of a social safety net, more opportunities, more access to disability, more _respect_. and, simultaneously, we need less. fewer people calling us "faggots" on the streets. fewer people misgendering us. we need people to have less _access_ to hateful, bigoted lies about us, we need there to be less _acceptance_ of these things.

well, that all sounds very selfish and entitled, and it is, because, i mean, we're not the only ones suffering. i talk about what trans people need and of course we're not the only marginalized group, probably not even the _most_ marginalized group. so many people are suffering in the same way and the only way i can think to talk about it is by abstraction, is by looking at the common forces of oppression. capitalism. cisheteronormativity. patriarchy. i'm not saying these things as _immediate calls to action_. i'm not saying these things to negate or disregard the very real personal, daily conflicts that affect even people who are strongly politically aligned.

if we can't agree on everything, if we can't always work together, i just... i'd like to believe that we can agree on _something_, something _meaningful_. that we can have a common cause. a better common cause than whatever watered-down intellectually and emotionally bankrupt mishmash the DNC leadership is offering.

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 23 April 2024 01:50 (one year ago)

if we can't agree on everything, if we can't always work together, i just... i'd like to believe that we can agree on _something_, something _meaningful_. that we can have a common cause.

There are always meaningful points of agreement. They can be as small as, "So-and-so needs help paying the rent. Can you kick in?" or "We need a better library. Vote Yes on the ballot initiative, please." This is why I wish the empty-headed fucks who launch ego-driven "presidential campaigns" would run for city council instead. Do some actual goddamn work to make people's lives materially better, instead of preening on Twitter and/or cable news. And this is why I have no time for talk of sweeping change. It's not coming. But small change absolutely is. There's work to be done every day. If you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean. Hell, I (in my guise as Burning Ambulance) am a member of the Chamber of Commerce! And a member of my local electrical co-op. I have a voice in local issues! I get emails about public hearings about stuff like replacing the bridge that the Montana DOT decided is no longer safe for pedestrian or vehicle traffic. Now we gotta figure out what we're gonna do about that, and where the money's gonna come from. That shit is important — way more important than railing against capitalism on the internet.

Lots of ppl preening on twitter are actually doing the work, they just have a longer term view of what it's for.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 23 April 2024 06:21 (one year ago)

I don't think we should tell anyone what to believe or how to approach the world, on the other hand people should know better than to weaponize their positions as if they were final and fit for all purposes. Unperson is right that long-term is meaningless if there is no short-term path to it, and that you have to work with what you have, no matter how sad/frustrating/humbling that is - more than grand declarations or ideology, that's the essence of politics.

Also we're all commenters here, if there's a politician here I haven't heard. We don't even live in the same countries. So we don't have to defend our little persona / "line" and we can be a little more chill.

unperson, as I have said on this board numerous times, I volunteer for several mutual aid orgs and contribute bits of what little money i have to orgs, too. your characterization of me is utter bullshit.

believe it or not, making grand pronouncements and holding ideological firmness can be completely in line with doing on the ground, “small potatoes “ work. i do the latter because i want the change exhibited in my ideological positions to come to pass.

for example, i work with Food Not Bombs every two weeks and also deliver meals once a month for another organization. this is not glamorous work, but it is about helping my neighbors and others who are housebound get what they need in terms of nutrition and sustenance. this shouldn’t be an issue in the richest country on earth, and yet it is. the small acts of kindness and compassion lead me to the larger issues of food apartheid and inequality, which are systemic issues that need to change.

THIS is the way my world works, and if you don’t care for how i express my views about it, then fucking killfile me already, or fuck off with these attacks.

sarahell, Tuesday, 23 April 2024 11:43 (one year ago)

In my experience of organising, mutual aid and such I would say there's def a big overlap between ppl doing important short term local work and ppl who talk a lot about abolishing capitalism, the patriarchy and etc. Not all of them by any means but it's certainly a common combo.

No doubt people who talk a lot about abolishing capitalism and do absolutely nothing also exist, but to jump to the conclusion that someone on ILX talking about these things must belong to that group falls under the old Making Up A Guy To Get Mad At routine.

The reason you'll hear more about systemic change than short term local action on ILX I think would be obvious - this is a discussion forum and as such ideally suited to abstract discussions.

There are always meaningful points of agreement. They can be as small as, "So-and-so needs help paying the rent. Can you kick in?"

what happens when the answer is "no", always "no"? do you know how many of my friends are homeless? do you know how many of my friends are unemployed, possibly unemployable? do you know the joke about "mutual aid" around here? "mutual aid" is passing around the same $20 bill, over and over again. there isn't _enough_, nobody has _enough_ for us to all be, you know, _housed_.

i mean, what you're doing, what you're doing is good. we need libraries. that's where a lot of us go when we need to apply for aid or apply for jobs, and the answer is nearly always "no" but we keep trying. making bridges safe for pedestrian traffic? that's good. that's important.

talking shit on the internet may seem stupid and pointless, but sometimes it's the closest a lot of us get to feeling... i don't know. empowered in our lives. it gets people to _notice_ us. that can be a double edged sword, but for those of us who put "OF in bio" in our usernames... i think it's important to respect the hustle.

we all got our own ways of doing things, all got our own ways of making meaning in this godforsaken world of ours.

probably not haha but shit maybe i'll try

i mean it's not so much that it's _degrading_, i don't mind the degradation. shit, you know what i realized this week? these terfs always banging on about how my gender identity is a "fetish" and i've gone and developed a fucking terf fetish. i mean i guess turnabout is fair play, motherfuckers been fetishizing me for all my life. pretty fucking awkward though, also a little on the nose - member of an oppressed minority developing a fetish for being degraded by their oppressor. sigh. it's _problematic_, isn't it?

i am still basically a pragmatist, "death to capitalism" is basically a pragmatic position for me to take. i know it doesn't seem that way to someone in unperson's position. i look at that post of his and i smdh, it feels like we live in separate realities.

except we don't, not really. except that it's people like unperson who _can_ meaningly support us. members of marginalized groups _use_ libraries, _walk_ over bridges, benefit from this stuff probably more than most people do. yeah it's frustrating, from that perspective, that i don't show up to city council meetings, that i don't _vote_, that sometimes i behave in ways that are, like, pretty self-destructive. you know, one of us got elected in montana, and they wouldn't let her take her seat, and unperson - yeah, the username does seem ironic to me, a little - he _does_ have a voice, he _can_ be on the chamber of commerce, and what am i supposed to do, say he's _bad_, say he's _fraternizing with the enemy_? he can complain about "death to capitalism" rhetoric and maybe we don't understand each other but we _live in the same reality_. when i talk about common cause... yeah, i do think that me and unperson do have a common cause.

is that salient? i don't know if that's salient.

Probably easier to push the value incrementalism when you’re going to be dead sooner than the rest of us.

speaking of needing a better library, it does seem like the "be reasonable, accept incremental change" faction helped vote in the mayor who cut library services in order to massively increase cop budgets to fight a nonexistent crime wave and arrest NYU students.

― Halfway there but for you

see the interesting thing is that i know what life as a cishet white man is. and it turns out it's not actually because i'm a white trans woman. see, as far as i can tell, everybody has to know what life as a cishet white man is like! because they're "normal" and basically everything has to be done with their approval or shit doesn't get done.

i also wouldn't trade places with anyone for a week, if i had a choice at all about it. i'm pretty happy with who i am, overall. also, the last time i let somebody else post as me, he made death threats against a united states presidential candidate and i got kicked out of college. so _that's_ not happening again if i can help it.

Absolutely not. Older voters who have pensions and mortgages paid off lean conservative. A lot of them go on several holidays a year and have no idea why younger people are struggling.

They voted in the system, it worked for them. A lot of them are in denial about climate change.

Look, I'm just going to say something: I don't dislike unperson, as much as he may dislike me. We actually agree on some matters both politically and aesthetically, and I don't have a problem finding common ground with him when I can.

The issue is that I don't like being slandered as some sort holier-than-thou couch warrior, because while I can be pretty strident in my views in ways that are pretty well-known to everyone on this board, I am also not just spouting shit off on the internet. I *do* shit around my community. I want a better world for us all, and if that means wanting a world that doesn't exist yet, then so be it. I will keep doing what I do in the meantime while hoping that my small part might help bring about that better world.

What I refuse to accept is that working only within structures that we have now will create much change. Thinking outside of them might be idealistic, but it's also necessary.

I don't dislike you either. I don't dislike anyone here on a personal level, not even gyac. When I respond to someone, I am always and only responding to their words on the screen. And I have a lot of respect for the local actions you describe. My mom does a lot of the same things — driving for Meals on Wheels, doing people's taxes for free with the United Way, probably some other stuff too. (And yet she also takes multiple vacations every year — she's off to Europe next month!) I will always feel that local action is all that can reasonably be expected of people, and where the potential for real benefit lies. Certain economic and social structures only work on a small scale. A self-selecting community, maybe a town, maybe a small and mostly ethnically homogeneous country. But the US is more than 50 countries, crudely lashed together. No one system is ever gonna work for all of them.

― Instead of create and send out, it pull back and consume (unperson)

my frustration is that the people i want to be in community with can't make it work even on a small scale. to make those economic and social structures work you have to have, well. there has to be a certain amount of _stability_. the dream of a stable, sustainable, small community - i mean it didn't work with places like oneida, and it's not gonna work any better with queer people. and look:

When I respond to someone, I am always and only responding to their words on the screen.

at the risk of engaging in tedious semantics, i don't think that's true! there's no reason to assume that people who complain about capitalism _don't_ engage in local community. everybody fills in what they don't know about people from somewhere inside their own head. in my case, i just assume as a default that everybody i talk to is also a severely traumatized polyamorous transgender communist. and then i get confused when people suggest i should try and get library funding measures on the local ballot.

for the record i think basically well of everyone here. a lot of this is that my memory isn't great and i have difficulty keeping track of people i might have grudges against. if anybody thinks poorly of me, i mean, that's their business. i've said and done some fucked up stuff, but basically i like myself and think i'm a good person - to the extent that i'm not gonna go out of my way to try and change anybody else's opinions of me.

Also, people seem allergic to making new threads on ILE/ILM, probably not great for sna activity if they’re camping out in decades old threads. It’s not like they charge you money to start a new one. I haven’t seen Civil War but like why not just start a new thread for it rather than posting in one for a six year old film?

If there's a thread about a specific topic and you want to talk about something loosely related to it but not really, start a new thread!

i agree on the Annihilation thing, which is one of the reasons why i started it today, because people might not have realized we were talking about it, but also anybody looking for a thread on Annihilation years from now is going to be confused at the lengthy discussion of a completely different movie in the middle of the thread.

Think I broadly agree but the problem with very long and very old threads is the difficulty in seeing what’s been said before if you weren’t around for the original conversation, plus also the slapdown factor of “this conversation has already been had”. But then being a post-2010 joiner I’ve already missed so much and I have no reverence for old threads or stuff that happened that far back, so that’s my bias.

Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Monday, 29 April 2024 21:29 (one year ago)

Yeah, the site is so old now that I have no issue if someone wants to make a new thread instead of reviving a 10+ year old one, though if they do then I usually like it if people include a link to past threads - not to slap down new discussion or to suggest it's all been done before, but to provide access to historical records and potentially interesting angles on the topic (okay, and sometimes also edgelordism and infighting). I guess I do see ilx as a sort of grand archive in a way? But I don't want it to be a static one, and any approach to threadstarting/reviving that encourages conversation to thrive is good in my book.

emil.y, Monday, 29 April 2024 22:16 (one year ago)

oh gosh years ago i'm afraid i used to be such a karen when people started threads and there were already a million just like it. i would put all the links to, like, 10 threads in a row as a first post to their thread. but to be fair people did it a lot and you know they never searched first. this was a zillion years ago.

scott seward, Monday, 29 April 2024 22:59 (one year ago)

Yeah it used to annoy me when a thread was posted on a topic already and I used to say. But overtime there is usually one thread that gets picked as the thread on said topic, and that's what I will revive.

Guess I see it as an ongoing conversation even if lots of past contributors have left.

― emil.y

the thing i do like about ilx is that it _is_ a living archive, anybody can go back and add to some old conversation even if it was 20 years ago. that, um... that motherfucker american politician who died a couple months ago long after i'd forgotten about him and we all got to bump the thread and celebrate. to me, that's the value of a "grand archive". the internet isn't a place that has a sense of its own, like, _living_ past. when i first got on the internet it was usenet and that shit is _gone_, all you can do with is binaries. it's impossible to understand usenet the way it was back then because of the lack of context.

and yeah that's by design, usenet was designed to be ephemeral, so i guess it's fine that all of that shit is inaccessible. it _could be_, though, if anyone cared enough.

as long as this place is around... this is as old as the internet gets for me. one of the last public, living vestiges of the pre-public internet. and it's not a long time. it's not even, like, 25 years, is it? idk. things have changed a lot in the past 25 years. i can go back, if i wanted to, and see the posts i made back pre-transition, when i was an extremely cringe shitlib. maybe five years from now i can come back and cringe at the stuff i'm saying now. i think that's cool. present me loves past me. i hope future me loves me as much as i love past me. warts and all.

I guess I do see ilx as a sort of grand archive in a way?

It happens so often that I learn about something new and instantly do an ILX search to see if it's been discussed. Do that almost as much as following the current forum tbh.

I don't know about the semantics of "confronted with" but I do tend to think of old ILX as being less regressive than it often was and that's useful to me personally, not as an excuse for self flagellation or flagellation of others but as a reminder that it's very easy to take your progressivism for granted.

Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 10:03 (one year ago)

Yeah I think it's fascinating to see self-censorship at work. Not that I don't think we have effectively progressed on a number of issues and that some old posts weren't preposterous. But to see it as a social phenomenon is humbling - I would not dare to judge too harshly ILX posts from 20 years ago, knowing that the confrontation is ongoing, and our own era is not short of pre/misconceptions.

Nabozo, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 10:39 (one year ago)

tbc I don't think the change in tone here is due to "self-censorship" so much as people growing and realising that some shit is hurtful and unfunny

no doubt we'll have regrets about our current posts in 20 years too sure

a) lol. “Self-censorship” is such a whiny way of saying “Not saying whatever shit pops up into your head”.
b) there’s often people in posts from twenty years ago saying whatever comment is fucked up. Pretty sure most of us knew what racism and homophobia were in 2004.

Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 11:01 (one year ago)

I meant it in a more neutral way: what you feel is socially / publicly acceptable to say. I assume most people find a way to say what they mean, but it's interesting to see how - that's where it's telling about society.
Of course it's dynamic. "Most of us" is the crux of the matter isn't it, if you speak of shifts.

interstellar anthropologist+music philosopher, (Austin), Sunday, 5 May 2024 16:53 (one year ago)

idk what thread the diet pill discussion is coming from, but i'm not coming within a country mile of ozempic. i don't blame anyone for using it - my qpp is 550 pounds, if it's going to help her not die i'm strongly in favor - but i'm 190 pounds and 5'7". i'm not fat because i'm _lazy_ or _gluttonous_ or anything like that. ime obesity isn't just some somatic thing, it's a trauma response. i don't get the sense that ozempic is gonna do a lot to heal trauma in the people who take it. that alone is enough for me to look at it and say "well this looks like trouble".

if i'm wrong, i'll be thrilled. if this does turn out to be a miracle drug that ends obesity and allows everyone to have a fundamentally healthy relationship with food without EDs, awesome! until and unless that turns out to be the case, i'm not gonna ask my doctor for a prescription.

i love the idea of taking adhd drugs because i love drugs. i wish i didn't love stuff so much.

i will say this. when i hear from people taking ozempic they all lost as much weight as i did when i stopped eating sugar. i ate everything else. just no sugar. and i ate fruit. which seems safer than taking some unknown pill but its can be really hard for people to do it. i did it for one solid year. it got easier. but stress/holidays put me back on the sugar train. and i gained most of the weight back.

― scott seward

like that's the thing it's STRESS. i'm on a lot of meds and the trade-off is that i don't drink and i don't do drugs, the meds are one of the main ways i personally deal with the stress. and i do other things as well, i try to exercise, take care of myself, eat healthy, cut out the gluten, and life is still fucking stressful, and that has effects on people. overeating isn't the most healthy way of managing that stress, but it's not necessarily the least healthy way in a lot of cases either.

i fucking hate that i'm on ADHD drugs (right now i'm on adderall) because they _are_ addictive, they _are_ a drug of abuse, and i do have a history of drug dependence. with me it was benzos. i have a lot of anxiety, and in about 2003 i had a "nervous breakdown" or whatever and they put me on benzos, and didn't tell me about the withdrawal syndrome, and it nearly fucking killed me. i don't love taking drugs. i wish i didn't have to take adderall, but i gotta function at my horrible shitty job and adderall gives me the ability to function. i'd prefer to not have to conform to the meaningless requirements of my horrible shitty job, but that's not a choice i have right now. i take enough adderall to be able to function at the bare minimum level. and maybe i should aim higher. maybe i should be, like, you know, maybe i could be _happy_, maybe i could _enjoy_ life, maybe i wouldn't struggle every day to function. but i don't, because my real addiction isn't food or drugs or anything like that. my real addiction is suffering. i'm working on healing from that addiction, but it's fucking hard.

scott, you may not know this, because i pretty much never talk about it on ilx, but i am in fact queer - a transgender woman, to be specific. i don't really feel like you've excluded or ignored me.

there is no official Queer Position on things like this, but speaking only for myself, i didn't think of your joke as "hostile".

I'm shocked to see that under Boards I've already made 10,476 posts! I don't think of myself as having been a frequent poster, and am pretty sure people here don't really know me

My thought is that the number of posts it takes for other people to feel like they really know you depends on how much you open up. Some of you have been good about being open and showing who you are, flaws and all, and that pleases me so much.

I want to open up more, but have been mostly too timid in my life. I am recently not as much afraid to open up here, fuck it who cares? getting dunked on often for my dumb opinions feels like a pleasure

Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac) at 3:50 10 May 24

Look at me everyone, I’m so jaded that I’m not bothered by a guy with a conviction for reproducing violent CSAM!


I'm assuming this is directed at me, so let me day unequivocally fuck that Sotos guy, I've read enough of the stuff wrt Albini's association that I wouldn't touch a book with a 10 ft poll and frankly that's an incredibly shitty thing to say about someone.

Albini's association with him is the worst thing I've read about him by far, but in a time when I'm mourning someone who's work meant a very much to me, who obviously impacted a lot of people, and treated so many people, including friends of mine with incredible kindness, I'm not going to judge him based on the dumbest shit he said nearly 40 years ago, especially when he's the only edge lord type to even attempt to grow and recant who he was back then.

Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Sunday, 12 May 2024 12:40 (one year ago)

Honestly considering how frequently you need to make shitty posts about his shitty posts… idk maybe follow an ilx tradition and make a separate thread for pointing out his shitty posts, because your vendetta is tedious at this point

sarahell, Sunday, 12 May 2024 17:05 (one year ago)

You could even poll them!!!

sarahell, Sunday, 12 May 2024 17:06 (one year ago)

That’s a weird thing for someone who sent me a load of messages about their decade plus old grudge about said person to say. On the subject of tedious grudges, killfile me will you? Thanks.

Keep making your anger everyone else’s responsibility to deal with! Really kind of you

sarahell, Sunday, 12 May 2024 17:28 (one year ago)

I don’t care about your need to follow me around and try to mention me or draw my attention to me in some way. Just so you know, the post I responded to was unperson mocking Left for Left being upset about the cavalier response of some posters to writing a recommendation for a friend’s zine that contained a photo of a toddler being raped. But yes. Very irrational and bad thing for me to get angry about. How shameful.

In any case, enough. Catch this block and find someone else to follow.

Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Sunday, 12 May 2024 17:33 (one year ago)

Lol I have been posting here longer than you, and I was one of the people who started this thread that you are claiming I am following you around on?

The main reason I brought this up to you, is that you felt it necessary to point out the tedium of xyzzz/lj beef in re UK politics, and I am just saying that your beef w unperson has reached a similar level here.

"but given that you kinda haven't ever acknowledged me or other gay or queer posters on this board"

i still wish i knew what this meant. its been bugging me. i don't want to feel like i've been excluding or ignoring people. have i been? i don't always know who is queer or even who is who on here. i don't remember everyone's story. is that terrible? it kinda becomes one person to me. the ilx person. i think i respond to people if they ask me a question or start a conversation with me. i can be rude though maybe. when i post its to everyone! not anyone in particular.

― scott seward, Saturday, May 11, 2024 11:55 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

hey scott, this is all on me - turns out it was all in my head. i'm sorry for saying it. it wasn't warranted at all and not at all true. if anything i'm happy to have this fiction dispelled by seeing responses of other queer and gay ppl here. i truly love reading your posts and i'm glad you're back here posting. i kinda don't want to go back into that thread and read everything at this point so i may not be addressing everything, but basically i was wrong and i'm sorry.

he/him hoo-hah (map), Sunday, 12 May 2024 20:49 (one year ago)

i definitely know that you are a transgender woman, kate! i admire and enjoy your posts and i always learn something from them.

― scott seward

i was kind of self-deprecating a little with that, which i try not to do overall. i guess technically me talking about my lived experience is a form of political activism, but from my perspective i'm an autistic girl who never shuts up about her special interest

speaking of which i saw another funny bumper sticker today

"my puppygirl can beat up your honor student"

-

anyway, 13,668 messages. sounds about right. i don't know how long i've been here, though, and i'm not sure how to find out.

-

do ilx beefs have beef detectives? i think "beef detective" sounds like a fun job title. i wouldn't want to be one, though.

what i like about ilx is that i can find people my age here. i was at transfem brunch today and i told someone i was 48 and asked "how old do you think i am?", and she said she thought i was older. she's pretty young and also extremely autistic, like, clearly doesn't get social cues. when we were outside after the brunch i asked her about a youtube channel she followed that i'd never heard of and she asked me if i'd seen a certain meme from the channel, and acted out the meme very loudly and enthusiastically. it was a bit about shadow the hedgehog that sounded like something lenny bruce would say about shadow the hedgehog. a lot of stuff about shadow the hedgehog's cock. i'm not really embarrassed about stuff like that but my qpp, who was there with me, was. for the record, i haven't seen that particular meme, even though i've seen a fair number of memes.

anyway sometimes people will say things here that i can't relate to at all, but y'all can talk to a part of my life that i don't have much opportunity to socially express elsewhere. it's this or facebook, and honestly, whatever beefs people here have, ilx isn't built on systematically monetizing the cycle of abuse. i like being here. it's kind of a wistful experience, because it does get smaller year by year. i'm very aware of the impermanence of this place. i value it a lot now, though, value the people here now.

― he/him hoo-hah (map)

fwiw i totally get how you got that conclusion. people are always finding all kinds of ways of disingenuous and nasty ways to be hostile to queer people, ways that aren't necessarily obvious to most folks. it's hard for me to know when somebody's doing that or when i'm reading too much into things. if you do read this, i think highly of you and i really like how you acknowledged and took responsibility for your unintentional mistake. that's really fucking hard to do.

Kate (rushomancy), Sunday, 12 May 2024 20:55 (one year ago)

as far as thinking the joke was hostile, i have a long history here of reading hostility into interactions that just isn't there. i'm getting better about understanding that actual hostility here is very rare and posting accordingly. i hedged in that post which should have been a sign that i wasn't responding in the best way. anyway, i think i've changed pretty substantially in a good way--i know by increased good feeling i get from others here. i'm grateful to have this place as somewhere i can feel comfortable and learn a lot from. ya'll are very kind and fascinating in the best sense.

xp thanks kate!

My first thought was "wouldn't it be funny if NASA had an organisation for female rocket pioneers called Ladies Who Launch". But the BBC came up with that pun back in 2019, besides which it sounds naff:
https://www.sciencefocus.com/space/ladies-who-launch-the-women-behind-the-apollo-program

My second thought? "There should be a film called Shadout Mapes on a Plane. The trailer would have Samuel L Jackson saying 'I've had it with Shadout Mapes on this plane!'"

But I decided against fleshing out both of those concepts. Firstly because there's no-where to go. And the second idea raises far too many questions. Shouldn't it be Shadout Mapes on an Ornithopter? But that sounds clumsy. Does the Dune universe have conventional aerofoils? Do the people of Dune call airliners 'planes', or something else? How can you hide in an ornithopter? They're tiny.

And thirdly because I'm no good at spontaneous one-liners. I can't do shortform humour. God promised me that when Ronnie Corbett died, I would be his heir. I would have the world of lengthy, dull, sub-Alan Bennett comedy monologues all to myself.

But little did I know that it was not God to whom I sold my soul. It was not God. The trickster lied.

if dems really wanted to secure victory, they'd have let the cia assassinate biden and harris woulda won on sympathy alone. we americans love a good one-up and, oh you almost got assassinated? well our homie actually fucking did: check and mate, bitch. the only way for dj to counter that one-up is with another of his own; surely just a plot he's devising to fake his own death and then 'resurrect' right before election day. all hail trumpchrist!

List of songs about sandwiches: "Submission"

― Ashley Pomero

i mean why not

i looked on the internet for a list of songs about sandwiches and i was sorely disappointed

there was an article on The Pitch KC from 2011 claiming it provided "the five greatest songs ever written about sandwiches" but the webpage did not contain a list that i could find, not even one of those shitty slideshows that masqueraded as content in the early '10s

there were a bunch of hits from this website called The Last Sandwich but it didn't load

i wound up going to the internet archive

https://web.archive.org/web/20230601113156/https://www.lastsandwich.com/articles/sandwich-rock/ultimate-list-of-sandwich-songs

this list is crap. i mean complete fucking garbage. first off it claims that both hamburgers and hot dogs are sandwiches. second off it lists songs allegedly about "hamburgers" that, if you listen to them, are fucking obviously not about sandwiches. i guess you can make a case for "hamburger concerto" being about hamburgers, because the subsections are puns based on the degree of doneness for meat

moribund der burgermeister, though, is fucking _not about hamburgers_, "burgermeister" in this sense means "mayor" and if they LISTENED TO THE FUCKING SONG

ugh

i guess they listened to _some_ of them because next to "the cheeseburger song" by lucinnio they put "note: horrible"

they also list "want a danish" by van morrison, which is a great song but GOD ALMIGHTY BY WHAT STANDARD IS A DANISH A SANDWICH? Madness. Sheer madness.

they list "Tuna Fish Promenade" by frank zappa but omit "this town is a sealed tuna sandwich" from the same album? what the fuck? even if they're not listening to the album (which honestly i don't blame them for not listening to _200 motels_), you know, read the track titles maybe?

they list "what we do" by DEVO but not "too much paranoias"? like again, what planet?

they have songs about bologna but not "weird" al yankovic's "my bologna"? like, the single most popular song on the topic of bologna ever made, as far as i can tell?

they have songs about hot dogs, one called "hot dog", but not "hot dog" by led zeppelin? ok admittedly i don't think "hot dog" by led zeppelin is about hot dogs. BUT STILL.

also, they do songs about hamburgers but not "hamburger martyr" by killdozer, ONE OF THE SINGLE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME?

i could make a better list of songs about sandwiches WITH MY ASSHOLE.

really i was just seeing if they had "sandwiches" by magazine

which of course they don't, it was an early version of "my mind ain't so open" and i don't think it ever got released. fucking shame, though, it's a great track.

See, the original gag ("list of songs about sandwiches: paninaro") was that I could only think of one example.

And then the gag was that I was struggling to think of a second example, so I was including things that just sounded like sandwiches. The thought of 50 Cent rapping about sandwiches amused me.

At the back of my mind there was just one thought. Toast is not a sandwich. I cannot, must not include that song.

pop quiz for a sunday:

"i love music!

....except rap."

in 2024, is an indicator of:

a. racism
b. the onset of dementia
c. a bad faith attempt at a joke
d. a valuable opinion worthy of consideration
e. all of the above
f. only a+c
g. only a+d

no wrong answer, btw.

interstellar anthropologist+music philosopher, (Austin), Sunday, 1 September 2024 16:21 (ten months ago)

i'd come closest to answering "b", though not quite. when i try to critically evaluate the statement "i love music except rap", it just seems semantically meaningless to me, like "colorless green ideas sleep furiously". it doesn't fit into my worldview. i reject the reality implied by such a statement wholesale. i reject the _possibility_ of "d." as an answer. someone saying that statement to me is outlining a fault line, a place where the assumption of "shared reality" breaks down.

---

travelling back in time to kill hitler is textbook slacktivism, imo. like, even if i kill baby hitler that doesn't erase millennia of bigotry and oppression, you know? people act like anti-semitism started with hitler and that if only that darn hitler hadn't come along there'd be no such thing. which i feel like is a rather silly way to act.

Kate (rushomancy), Sunday, 1 September 2024 17:22 (ten months ago)

(predictably) i love how futurama handled time traveling to assassinate hitler: everything's on a loop anyway, so we'll get 'em next time.

but ya, that ignores all that pesky traditional european antisemitism completely, doesn't it? if we're gonna retroactively assassinate notable historic figures to dick with the space-time continuum, i say get rid of someone funny like shakespeare or mandela in addition to hitler. neutrality and whatever.

interstellar anthropologist+music philosopher, (Austin), Sunday, 1 September 2024 18:15 (ten months ago)

"i'l give you something to mandela effect about"

now that you mention it i'm really in favor of traveling back in time to assassinate baby shakespeare. the next time somebody talks about going back in time to assassinate hitler i'll say that i want to go back in time to assassinate shakespeare. because it makes just as much sense, really. i mean i _like_ shakespeare's plays, i think his work is pretty cool and all, but now that you brought it up i really want to do it just to see how it would change things. that's a way more interesting idea than killing baby hitler.

Truly efficient time machine use would combine the errands of baby-killing and celebrity sex. For instance, putting Baby Will Shakespeare to death circa 1564 would also provide an opportunity to visit the Virgin Queen herself, Elizabeth I, if so desired, etc, etc, etc

I read a novel this year, Glimpses, where the protagonist travels back in time to help rock stars finish their uncompleted albums - Celebration of the Lizard by the Doors and Smile by the Beach Boys - but he's unable to prevent the death of Jimi Hendrix. This theme is interwoven with his own life story and the suspicious death of his father. Little would the author know that both of those recordings would come out in the 30 years since the book was published.

i don't generally see white people saying "jazz is bad" (unless it's free jazz, which people who come across it without actively seeking it out tend to hate), it's more along the lines of "i don't 'get' jazz". there's a little self-deprecation involved, like, jazz is too "high-class" for them, which i don't think is warranted... i do think it's just not a cultural competency most people pick up on. i don't think of music as a "universal language".

there will always be a huge percentage of people - a majority of the world even - who will never take rapping seriously. and who will never listen to people rapping. because it isn't singing. in the 80s when there were so many novelty/joke rap songs, that is something the average person could get behind. because they didn't take it seriously and it was a funny thing to dance to/laugh at. but if you ask someone who doesn't listen to rap to take it seriously...in the words of george bush sr. "nah gunna happen". which IS different then out and out racism. the out and out racism is easy to determine. i don't play rap in my store for the most part because i got tired of things like "I feel like THEY'RE yelling at me." the worst was an old man who said he felt like he was being aurally raped. nothing and i mean NOTHING brings out the hate in old boomer white guys like rap. they hate it SOOOOOOOO much.

I don't enjoy improvisational jazz, but I had a revealing exchange with some jazz drummers a while back when I said, "I don't know how to hear it/understand it because the pattern is too unpredictable, there are too many possibilities" and they were like, "Uh, there are practically no other possibilities, all the musician's choices are pre-determined" I guess by the key, the chords, the progression, the rhythm, the genre, etc? I think that showed that I don't understand the limiting structures.

that's my experience... when i was young i was getting into "weird music" and got a cd of Free Jazz, and it sounded like just a bunch of weird noise to me. i listen to it now and it sounds basically normal to me. sure, it's an unusual lineup, but the dudes seem to be getting along pretty well and giving each other space. i have a harder time with Miles at the Plugged Nickel 1965... that weird aggro hypermasculine vibe those dudes have combined with the insane degree to which they know their shit makes it a really challenging listen for me

talking about the cultural context of jazz, i was surprised recently to find out just how highly "whiplash" ranks on the IMDB top 100. and apparently a lot of people watch that movie and are like "oh, cool, that's jazz". that's not jazz, that's child abuse. if that's why someone doesn't "like jazz", i'm good with that. i don't like child abuse either!

"There’s rapping - or at least rap cadences - in every third country song now."

just to be clear. i was talking about the act of rapping. not the music or beats. there are just a lot of people who don't consider anything other than singing to be a genuine thing to listen to.

i do sometimes think that people who listen to rap aren't really aware of the fact that most people don't listen to rap.

scott seward, Monday, 2 September 2024 19:32 (ten months ago)

people age out of rap as well. which doesn't happen with every genre. people listen to less of it as they age. and 99.99% of people who liked rap when they were young will tell you that the best rap was made when they were young and that the rap made now is trash made by people with no talent.

Again, I don’t think this is true! Everyone, and I mean *everyone*, under 35 listens to rap. It’s just…in the air. It’s inescapable if you’re living in the world and you’re not deaf. And there are middle-aged people who listen to old rap the way other middle-aged people listen to old rock. Kamala Harris and Barack Obama put on old rap records all the time, to the annoyance of younger people. I would bet money on it.

people age out of rap as well. which doesn't happen with every genre. people listen to less of it as they age. and 99.99% of people who liked rap when they were young will tell you that the best rap was made when they were young and that the rap made now is trash made by people with no talent.

This happens with every genre of music and has since the first people beat on a log or whatever.

i was talking about the act of rapping. not the music or beats.

afaict, the rhythmic inventiveness of rap, the fact that it is can be danced to, is what makes it music. remove the beats and you may as well call it a poetry recitation.

there will always be a huge percentage of people - a majority of the world even - who will never take rapping seriously. and who will never listen to people rapping. because it isn't singing.

OK. But it's popular, it's music, and it clearly has its roots in what you would be pleased to call rap. Go ahead and call it something else, but the people who listen to it call it 'rap'. Why argue with them about the name?

i don't want to "yeah-but" anything anybody is talking about, that shit is real, patriarchy is real.

it's important for me to say that it's not just men who rape. it's important for me to say that because the person who sexually abused me is a woman. i still want to believe it didn't happen, she didn't do that. i only say it because that's what the facts say. i don't believe i was sexually assaulted and abused over a period of years by my ex-spouse. that's apparently what happened, that's all.

men can get away with it. that's what stands out to me. all of these men, all of these men didn't just _know_ but were _involved_. over fifty! over fifty, and nobody said or did anything. how many people knew? how many people had to have known?

usually it's men who do the hurting. usually it's women who get hurt. always it's the excuses, the minimization, the people who don't have to deal with it and can't _imagine_ it. that's the horrible thing. i was talking to a co-worker, a friend, about it today, about something horrible that happened, happened on a personal level, something that most people won't ever know about. it's not that stuff like that _happens_. it's that stuff like that is _normal_ in this world. if this world is hell - sometimes i think it is, sometimes i don't - but if this world is hell, _that's_ why.

It’s probably not great to introduce tampered electronics into a supply chain without any regard or care as to who is actually in possession of them at the time they were detonated. But we’ve already established lots of people, both on here and in general, don’t give a fuck about collateral damage when the people on the receiving end are adults, because let’s face it, as long as a percentage of them were terrorists then the unlucky people affected by their exploding solar panels or whatever should have known better than to be standing adjacent to/living with/in the same country as the targeted people.

I wanted to make sure this list of prime numbers was a little more fun and quirky! ✨ So here’s how I approached it:

Gathering prime buddies: First, I picked the first 100 prime numbers—those are the special "prime buddies" we all know and love, starting with 2, 3, 5, 7... you get the idea! 🥳

Adding a prime sprinkle: To give each prime a cute little makeover, I sprinkled another prime number on top, like a cherry on a cupcake! 🍒 For the smaller primes, I gave them a tiny sprinkle (adding smaller primes like 3 or 5), and as the primes got bigger, they needed a bigger sprinkle (adding larger primes like 7, 11, or even 19)! 🌟

Making sure it's unique: I didn’t want to use the same sprinkle over and over, so I made sure each prime buddy got its very own special addition. No one wants a boring, repetitive list, right? 😉

In the end, we have a list of prime numbers with a little extra flair! Cute, quirky, and oh-so-primed up! 🎉

I'm sorry Ivy. I've noticed the same pattern from this specific poster and have considered calling them out, but was afraid I'd get piled on for it. Maybe I should have, didn't realize the extent they were making others uncomfortable since I wasn't in that DJing thread.

what ivy said about extra obliviousness and egregiousness is otm. he's also been called out a lot on it, at least by me. he turns into mr. hyde when he's sober but never takes any responsibility for the jekyll posting. i'm not trying to pile on or anything, just communicate that it's been a clear pattern for a long time, years iirc.

ivy i don't think you did anything wrong

i don't... it's not something that affects me here, but i don't know how to handle that kinda things. i got friends who get drunk every night and it's not good for them. it sucks to watch. i don't say anything about it usually because someone who's got a problem just isn't gonna listen. sometimes people just behave in shitty ways and it's really fucking obvious that alcohol has a lot to do with that, and it's just... hard to not say the obvious sometimes.

Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 10 October 2024 19:07 (eight months ago)

Not speaking for anyone but myself here, but I think it'd be more forgivable if it was an occasional lapse or something (we all know we've been there and had days where maybe we shouldn't be posting for whatever reason), but when it tips over to greater than 90% of said poster's posts being non-sequiturs and baseless insults, well, it's much harder to excuse.

To WmC's point, the FP is there, but in this specific case I question whether it would work since these posts are spread over such an array of threads that it's not like one specific post causing issue (though that DJ one is particularly egregious).

Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 10 October 2024 19:27 (eight months ago)

So as not to derail that thread, I encountered this mentality (the denial/reflection) a lot as an adult but probably most memorable was when a book group I was in was reading this. (Genuinely great but horrific read, if you liked The Jakarta Method etc etc)

https://theguardian.com/books/2016/oct/06/the-history-of-thieves-by-ian-cobain-review

Anyway someone had just finished talking about one of the things they found shocking that they hadn’t known about (Pat Finucane being murdered in front of his children and the subsequent arson attack on a building that held evidence on the matter). The family has long pressed for an inquiry on the matter, because of well founded suspicion that the British government colluded in the matter.

Anyway, to me this has long been something I know about and most Irish people have some familiarity, but to these people it was unknown. Nothing is shocking about that; the persistence of imperialism and oppression depends a lot on ignorance. It’s very hard to advocate for your rights when you’re always having to explain that they were violated in the first place and that actually, it was violation.

None of that - the lack of knowledge - shocked me, because you can always learn new perspectives and historical narratives flow from the pen of the author. However, what did shocked me was a (heavily paraphrased) conversation with someone else in the group.

Them: but surely everyone was up to this?
Me: what do you mean?
Them: this kind of thing
Me: when you say everyone you mean…?
Them: other countries, governments
Me: …No, not generally countries being oppressed by other countries?
Them: but what about the IRA?
Me: they………are not the Irish government?!
Them: I don’t see what you mean
Me: this book is about things that the British government has done and covered up.
Them: right but it was more than the British government doing it.

And on and on it went. I found it a genuinely very bizarre perspective, and also the first time my reality came into very direct conflict with another person’s in such a fashion. It was as though we were speaking two different languages.

gyac, Monday, 14 October 2024 15:13 (eight months ago)

There’s this scene in A French Village in the last season where one of the comrades who had been captured by the Vichy cops several years ago returns to reunite with his fellow Communists after the war when the Party is organizing youth. He had ended up in the Soviet Union, which the French Communists viewed as a worker’s paradise. They clamored for him to give a talk about it, this utopia. But he demurs. Then one of the other characters, I think she had started off as a Socialist and was not initially a Communist, goes up to this guy in private and asks him what’s up. And he emotionally tells her the truth about Stalinist oppression and how the Soviet Union is not the utopia they think it is….

my experience of aging is different

the strongest "wisdom" i've learned is how to not die

that's not just a matter of not taking chances

sometimes not dying means taking chances

for me the thing that's most likely to help me grow older is learning to go to the doctor

yes, that's taking fewer chances, but it doesn't mean i live in fear of death

quite the opposite. death is real and inevitable to me, life is ephemeral and bittersweet. i'm just trying to live and enjoy life the best i can, however long that winds up being.

fuckin... the thing that sucks about getting older is realizing that that shit kenny rogers said in "the gambler" is really fucking good advice

^^ As noted in this post from 21 years ago!

There's pretty much nothing that can be said that hasn't been said by Kenny Rogers and Bobby McFerrin.
Rule #1: Don't worry, be happy.
Rule #2: You gotta know when to fold em, know when to hold em. Know when to walk away, know when to run.

That covers everything I could possibly want to know about singlehood and relationships except the geopolitics of the wet spot, which I'm pretty sure Nick Cave had a few albums about.

when i was younger i had a friend who ran a record store up in wisconsin. good guy but, i mean. he drank. he dealt with his problems by drinking, and that killed him. i don't know how old he was. not very old. younger than you are now, i think. life is about more than surviving but if someone doesn't survive, they don't get to do more than survive either.

full respeck 4 io's right to be irritated by chintzy garbazio but counterpoint: a lot of people's lives are empty & miserable w/ no escape save death, so if buying a spooky inflatable minion gives them the semblance of a thrill then i think that is poignant in a grotesque kind of way

also i freakin' love flamboyant xmas lights

there was this big house in my old neighborhood that would put up 2 massive wreaths every december, wreaths the size of cars, wreaths as big as god's whole ass, they were at least as big around as one of the house's storeys, just tremendous! and i marveled whenever i passed the house, and it was nice, because december is the butt of the year and i low key loathe everything about it except the sparkly ott decorations. thank u big wreaths 💚🫡

butt dumb tight my boners got boners (the table is the table), Sunday, 27 October 2024 01:52 (eight months ago)

I'm extremely pro holiday decorations in general, and lots of mine are perennial but i have def also noticed that spying decorations at Home Depot and Michael's is how a many people on the internet seem to anticipate and experience the holidays now. that's upsetting even if I don't think I know any of these people irl

someday I really want to go to one of those walkthrough Christmas light displays they have in some southern states that are not so elaborate, or one of those Christmas museums that are just like some insane person's house filled with antique Santa dolls.

I've been to the jack o lantern blaze in croton a couple of times, I guess that means I liked it enough to go back even though it's fucking far

Deflatormouse, Sunday, 27 October 2024 04:48 (eight months ago)

you don't even have to know anything about the minions, table, there's nothing to know, they are a void of meaning and that's why people feel such kinship w/ the chody lil guys, there is just nothing actually there, a hypnotic semiotic lacuna

my main mouse, ayyyy! having just googled your pumpkin blaze: that is what the fuck i am talking about! all of the colors, all of the sparkle, my eyes hunger for such magnificent spectacle 😻

botanic gardens near me sometimes have lovely light displays in winter. one of my favorite memories is going to one of those on a frigid snowy night with a guy who'd lost his gloves and i had him warm his hands under my shirt, brrrrr. i haven't gone in ages; perhaps this year...

sarahell, Sunday, 27 October 2024 18:06 (eight months ago)

Looking at photos, I'd say that Jack o' Lantern blaze looks both festive and a pretty spectacle, but it doesn't exactly tap into the sense of growing darkness and a nearing of death that was the origin of halloween. It used to be a very primal reaction to those realities of impending winter.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Sunday, 27 October 2024 18:43 (eight months ago)

"a void of meaning" is otm but something ain't right about a solo minion, their thing is multiplicity
they are antic but replaceable, the hollow gag their brief bloom before they're suddenly snuffed out by the next in a sequence of jokes
they are hard working though
one light up minion on the lawn is like a firework display with only one kaboom,
you need an army

there used to be a 360 walkthrough of this kinda sad xmas light display somewhere on the internet, it was so beautiful in its desolation but now I can't find it.

aimless, I think it actually does that in person! (the last display before the exit is actually a pumpkin graveyard)

For the past few months — for most of 2024, honestly — I've been mulling over giving up writing about music other than maybe keeping my newsletter going. I just don't enjoy it anymore, I feel like I've said everything I have to say, I've written about the same records a half dozen times or more, all my references feel stale to me, I'm just sticking with it out of fear of stopping. But I don't know, maybe if I just stop reading truly hideous mainstream journalism — the NY Times, the New Yorker, the fucking Atlantic, NY Magazine, the New Republic, all the shit I let dribble into my eyes this whole campaign — I'll snap out of it in a month or so and be back on my feet by my birthday and ready to plot my escape from the burning pirate ship.

I truly can't remember what I posted at the time, but I'm not going to apologize for finding fun and inspiration from an event held by the political party in my country that aligns closest with my values. While I believe it was unconscionable that the DNC refused to let a Palestinian speak, I still enjoyed and connected with some of the other speeches, and the roll call is always a good time. And in general, even though I don't endorse everything that the party does, I won't deny myself the positive feelings that events like that can engender.

why does everyone put up with people like this

z_tbd, Saturday, 9 November 2024 00:08 (seven months ago)

quit the fucking board unperson

ivy., Saturday, 9 November 2024 00:09 (seven months ago)

i don't understand being wrong over and over and over and then maintaining this aggressive know-it-all stance. goddamn learn some humility, just stfu and listen for 3 to 5 election cycles, you demonstrably have no idea what you're talking about. it's not like i do, either, but i also don't ridicule and belittle anyone who disagrees with me. if nothing else, learn how to wrong. you have been wrong. don't be like every single other know-it-all fucker who doubles down and makes even bigger predictions about the future with 100%/0% dogmatic guts-based bullshit - be that one, the ONLY ONE, maybe, in the universe who is wrong and then just SHUTS THE FUCK UP

z_tbd, Saturday, 9 November 2024 00:14 (seven months ago)

everyone, not anyone. i certainly do ridicule people who disagree with me occasion, but only after being frustrated with them like 1 trillion fucking times in my head

z_tbd, Saturday, 9 November 2024 00:16 (seven months ago)

Basically I am as NA as she is, and I would not claim that, especially as someone who is otherwise white. I liked her economic takes a lot.

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 00:42 (seven months ago)

I said on Wednesday that I had been completely wrong about everything leading up to this election. I don't know what else you shitbags want, but you're not gonna fuckin' get it. So keep my name out of your fuckin' mouths, all of you.

whatever happened to the “dirtbag left” or whatever

brimstead, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:07 (seven months ago)

Last i checked unperson wasn’t in a leadership role in the Democratic Party campaign so maybe think through what you’re really angry about? Lots of posters were going on for paragraphs with wrong predictions and assumptions

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:08 (seven months ago)

If you are legit that pissed at him … then ok … I am coming from a rough couple years of IRL conflicts that got petty and nasty and were really harmful among people who were all “left of St. Bernie” and it is demoralizing to see this here

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:17 (seven months ago)

It’s more the nonstop “everyone is stupid except me” tone of the posts, I don’t begrudge anyone being wrong.

JoeStork, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:19 (seven months ago)

make that a bannable offence so

he wont be heading off alone anyway

H.P, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:21 (seven months ago)

not in current form but thats to be welcomed probably

government mandated "vibe-checks" before every post

H.P, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:24 (seven months ago)

I can't imagine even following the politics threads, every time you look away there's like 100 new posts

*The Anime\(*^β^*)/ Ring (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:25 (seven months ago)

there are so many enemies out there. unperson is not the enemy. we mostly agree with him. he is dogmatic and disparages some of our opinions, so what

Dan S, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:35 (seven months ago)

I have a lot more time for unperson than for the troll who managed to get a rise out of him, someone who seems to have spent a lifetime* developing that particular set of skills.

*an internet lifetime at least

WmC, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:35 (seven months ago)

20+ years mate, if only I could monetise it.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:41 (seven months ago)

He at least lives in the US as opposed to that Fred guy who was unbearable

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:44 (seven months ago)

Go fuck yourself with something sharp.

With the exception of ivy & z_tbd I didn’t notice anyone commenting on what a fucked up thing this is to say.

“We” do not mostly agree with unperson, and responding that way is unnecessary.

gyac, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:50 (seven months ago)

Some posters couch their hostility in a self-righteous sang-froid.

Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 9 November 2024 01:54 (seven months ago)

and Sang Freud might just like Mott the Hoople a little TOO much.

scott seward, Saturday, 9 November 2024 02:28 (seven months ago)

kidding. i love the hoople. and the sang freud.

scott seward, Saturday, 9 November 2024 02:28 (seven months ago)

this is definitely the time for everyone to start fighting and turning on each other. its exactly what eric and don jr. want you to do. and larry loomer. and stefon k. brannon.

scott seward, Saturday, 9 November 2024 02:29 (seven months ago)

listen idk. i’m just saying he posted in the “i’m leaving ilx” thread and he could use some follow through

also he is a huge dick on the regular here but we tolerate a lot of assholes here historically idk hate to go against the grain i guess

ivy., Saturday, 9 November 2024 03:03 (seven months ago)

he *is* a huge dick on the regular but has historically shrugged off being *called* a huge dick. so i'm kinda curious what made him snap! albeit nowhere near enough to read any of the political threads to find out

anyway i'll miss u, dude who legit knew so much about music yet whom i privately disagreed with on nearly every single matter of taste

mookieproof, Saturday, 9 November 2024 04:05 (seven months ago)

so much for the tolerant centre-right

I got my choice for the book club through. High time everyone started listening to my strategic insight more tbh.

― gyac, Friday, November 8, 2024 7:50 PM (yesterday)

i don't disagree with unperson's wrong takes about politics as much as the graphic, intrusively sexual, and (imo) vile nature of posting things like this

Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Saturday, 9 November 2024 17:14 (seven months ago)

It’s fine though. As ilx has repeatedly shown over the years, you can say what you like without comment depending on who you are. Even get a moderator supporting you right in this thread ffs.

Again, thank you to Ivy and Z_tbd for actually saying something.

gyac, Saturday, 9 November 2024 17:17 (seven months ago)

microcosm of the world at large :(

Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Saturday, 9 November 2024 17:18 (seven months ago)

I think it's important that we don't judge people by the first kneejerk slurs they go to when they're cross

badder living thru Kemistry (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 9 November 2024 17:58 (seven months ago)

I unreservedly condemn unperson's gross and violent attack. I apologize to ILX for waiting a day to condemn it.

WmC, Saturday, 9 November 2024 17:59 (seven months ago)

It’s nice to see gyac saying something positive about zach as opposed to accusing him of being a monster.

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 18:06 (seven months ago)

whatever it is, if it's something that happened since i dropped off the slack a few years ago), i don't care and it's better for me if i never know

z_tbd, Saturday, 9 November 2024 18:16 (seven months ago)

I was referring to gyac’s crusade against you a couple years back. Anything recent, idk either

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 18:26 (seven months ago)

Very interesting how the initial reaction was to cheer this on, because of who it was directed against.

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 November 2024 18:28 (seven months ago)

I don't believe I cheered his violent post on. I expressed support of him as a poster of greater value than you, which I still believe. I know that will be hair-splitting to many.

WmC, Saturday, 9 November 2024 18:35 (seven months ago)

*points at a vile aggressive post* this poster has value!

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 9 November 2024 18:44 (seven months ago)

Ok I don’t see the “something sharp” post as being specifically directed at anyone… though I am assuming zach and ivy were the targets of the “shitbags” post which is … ugh, gross, no.

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 18:50 (seven months ago)

And even though I disagree with xyzzz on some things, I think it’s rude to say he isn’t a valuable poster, or at least as valuable a poster as unperson.

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 18:55 (seven months ago)

It is clearly aimed at someone because the whole point of this thread is to passive agressively post what you'd actually like to post somewhere else but worry would be too incindiary (this thread is not a good idea). I have no idea who that someone is but frankly the image is gross no matter what.

Daniel_Rf, Saturday, 9 November 2024 18:58 (seven months ago)

That wasn’t the initial point of this thread ffs! It makes me annoyed that it has come to be perceived this way.

Initially it was like, things you wanted to post but by the time you were in posting mode, the discussion had shifted such that your post would have been a derail or not constructive. Or just random things that were derails in general. And the concept was that it had the same structure as a normal discussion thread, but it wasn’t a discussion, so it is just this absurd text.

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 19:04 (seven months ago)

And it was started at a point in ilx where bmcquern and I had people annoyed at us for derailing threads, so this is where we would post instead.

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 19:06 (seven months ago)

Ok fair, I don't think I was paying too much attention to ILX when it was first created...it is what it's now used for tho, almost exclusively afaict, and yeah I don't think that's good.

Daniel_Rf, Saturday, 9 November 2024 19:10 (seven months ago)

I would love for this thread to go back to its roots tbh

sarahell, Saturday, 9 November 2024 19:12 (seven months ago)

maybe start a new thread with that explicit premise and lock this one because this one is toxic af
