Say something nice about another ILXor

just1n3 your ilx origin story is so great! i also started full time ilx duty around that time, also under somewhat lone internet wolf circumstances. sometimes you're just driftin' on the internet, and then you come along a messageboard and make a post, see what happens. i like that we've been in the same internet town for 13 years! honestly, i think the fact that i haven't shaved since i started feeling weird about 'coronavirus' is giving me this drifter mentality. it's hard to say what ilx was like in 2007, but it wasn't the wild west.

i'm high as hell, sorry. <3 you just1n3!

tomboto did something incredibly thoughtful and caring for me a couple years ago, as a surprise during some really dark days for me. i haven't had too many irl tears in general the last several years (which is weird because i used to cry at everything. i guess now that i'm a longtime ilx "drifter", some emotional states have gummed up the works, so to speak), but what he did was no nice, and i felt so undeserving at the time (feeling better now!), it was just...something else. anyway, he was already an all-timer before that but now i'm like robert redford/zack galafanakis nodding and giving the thumbs up in that one clip, in his direction, all the time. *tumbleweed and dust*

It’s like we went through all of school together
*hi-fives*
Some day you me and Jordan (my Jordan) will hang out and it’ll be great

Hard to ctrl-F for him, but Ed is a very smart, informed, concise and straightforward poster.

yeah Ed's a good 'un

He certainly is.

honorary pittsburgher

a general shout out to everyone who makes this one of the sanest places on these here intertubes \m/

Seconded

otm x4
i feel like ilx is my "ace in the hole" when it comes to adapting to being on lockdown

i check here before i check the news tbh

you prefer hysterically unsourced twitter embeds?

no less hysterical than "the news"

*no more hysterical

i prefer to hear what my ***0nL1n3 Fr13Ndz*** are thinking and doing and seeing and then add that plethora of diverse experiences to what the media has to offer

plus, music.
speaking of which, shout out to the classical thread for providing the song that has best represented my internal voice for the past three weeks

Yes, same. I don't post too much but have been here years and feel like I get sense out of the good people here.

Neanderthal’s anarchic and unprompted revives are always a welcome amusement in these trying times

I appreciate him

great revive

ffs

and yeah, neanderthal is one of the good ones - love that dude

if 2 weeks into quarantine is already bringing up this level of horniness I’m scared of what’s in store

lol

pure projection imo, i have made a solemn vow to withhold my vital essences until this is all over

have you watched The Lighthouse

i think ronan doesn't post here anymore but every now and then, on my facebook feed, a droll comment he has made on a local irish garda's status update regarding some marijuana seizure appears and it pretty much makes my day.

I love everybody on the ILB threads, even though I myself have been suffering from a Reader's Block for quite a while now.

otm

james redd and the blocks

Love ronan

Ronan was an enjoyable presence e on twitter when I was using it

She's been mentioned before on this thread I see, but just wanted to say that La Lechera has a great attitude that it is really inspiring.

otm

Yep

indeed

hey thanks! would you believe that i was fired once (almost twice!) for having a bad attitude?!
also definitively kicked off the flag team in hs for having a bad attitude/refusing to smile

i think i am over that phase of my life now!

Are you saying you aren't necessarily smiling through every post? hmmm well

i only smile when i have something to smile about
otherwise it's just the baring of teeth :)

I would say something nice about my friend Tom D, great appreciator of the likes of P-Funk, Lou Reed and Beefheart, and all-purpose piss-taker, but it might only heat up his Scotsman's blood and backfire on me.

indeed!

a sound, level, right cranky fucker. good mix that.

Who knows, he might even call us "stiff-necked thistle heads."

This is often the case with my favorite people, but I used to react to some of Stevolende's quirks with mild irritation. Now I recognize that he is never seeking attention, only expressing himself with a rare and wonderful candor. He's inspiring.

gee thanks.

same here man, I apologize for past crankiness

always nice to see you pop up on DIME too :)

aimless always sounds so authoritative when he posts. whenever he shows up on a thread it's kind of like gandalf's just swept into the room and told everyone what's REALLY about to go down.

^

i still feel that way, aimless's unflappable demeanor feels especially reassuring right now
