jumping on the aimless appreciation train. i'll just re-post what darraghmac said and point arrows at it, because he sums it up well:
aimless is a key reference point for decency and fairness imo^^

Yes, agreed. He’s also had really insightful things to say regarding some of the things I’ve posted about dealing with over the last few years. Am an aimless fan.

can't believe I've scrolled up 50 posts and not seen any recognition for the brilliance of wins, the inspiring sanity of La Lechera, or the overall radness of ENBB

I said screen name just now when I meant display name btw, something that lowkey annoys me when ilx gets it wrong (such as the thread “finest of display names only”—display names cannot be changed, it is screen names that I am unfailingly excellent at)
― Pierrot with a thousand farces (wins), Saturday, 15 December 2018 20:41 (five years ago) link
ilx used to have changeable display names
― sarahell, Saturday, 15 December 2018 20:43 (five years ago) link
That may be the case but I feel the vocabulary should have shifted to reflect where my unfailing excellence lies

Fernando I have this whole issue with you not starting Iniesta in that that one world cup tie but I'm sure you're a good man at heart, god go with you

Like the sands of life this midfield too will blow away - I did not claim to be all to all "as the English would say" I believe

Aw, Sarahell and Alfred <3. Right back at you!

i have a fondness for ilxors named after "footballers" that have opinions about said wikipedia entry

the inspiring sanity of La Lecherai appreciate this -- thank you! idk exactly what you're talking about and that is totally ok :) i would rather just believe that i am seen by others as both sane and inspiring <3
i have been thinking a lot about the community aspect of ilx and how it is the only group i have ever maintained longterm membership in.if we squabble now and then, i think it's probably good for community standards in the long run.

I can say nice things ab lots of ilxors but overall I dig everyone. Y'all are great!

I have to admit: being so long away from ilx, I don't know who's behind some of the (changed?) names. Sigh

Alfred should have an academic sinecure teaching rhetoric at, like, Harvard imho
― de l'asshole (flopson), Saturday, May 28, 2016 12:17 AM
the weird thing, see, is that I'm teaching rhetoric now. This was impossible even eight months ago. Maybe my new chair read this thread.
