Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

Was responding to OL’s stupid analogy with a stupid analogy of my own. If I was being a coward, I’d send a shitty little webmail instead and then make out that I was the one being persecuted.

Thread on boundaries on a message board maybe not such a good idea unfortunately shocka

Sorry you couldn’t resist shitting up a thread where people were discussing some very personal and painful stuff, go update one of your own threads if you want to shitpost imo

(I don't know if that is meant for me or not, could be but *sigh*)

It was meant for you in response to that deeply stupid reply, yes.

A fella two towns over stubbed his toe yesterday

On his toe, yes

yes, your options are literally become vegan or eat your own children. those are the only two options.

better yet, let your cats eat your children.

form a decoy child out of tree nuts to distract your murderous cats away from the real child

and the cats eat your children
with a silver spoon

Dear John
"Cats" all she wrote

Cats Off to Larry

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.

Reminds me of the time I saw signs all over Soho that Charlotte Gainsbourg's cat had gone missing.

Bored of this cats entertainment

if your cat must kill, you should train it to get it out of its system by only killing other murderous cats

People, people, why are we fighting? Brothers and sisters! That cat over there, stop fighting.

That’s not even Richard Starkey’s real…

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

you cannot lose if you do not play

Richard Starkey gets the Gas Face.

it's not that bizarre a point tbh

if you think of threads like conversations ...

as opposed to folders

It’s bizarre I guess if you just skimmed over the part where I talked about ocd and the corrosive effect it’s had on my life all so a bunch of people can tell us how many tests they’re doing each day and give us minute by minute updates of everything. But hey, I must be reacting for no reason and not because

that shouldn’t be enabled because it nearly literally killed me

“the thread title says it’s ok” arguments fail to sway me. if a thread title told you to jump off a cliff would you do it

one way we can find out. it begins with a p!

jump, jump, jump on the tiger

it's a fair cop. one ticket to India, no return

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.

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

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.

at some point satire becomes worse than the thing it's satirising, and that point is where it thinks it's qualified to mock the prevailing pop culture but also really, really wants to be the prevailing pop culture as well

it's no Dyson with Death that's for sure

VIDEO GAME DUNKEY

it's not the dunkey we wanted, it's the dunkey we deserve

do i post Lana Del Rey parody lyrics?
do i make a joke about the Subway Soda Drip Tray?
is it even worth making a horribly formed joke about these stupidly named TV shows?
