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'd have to do 'edit' 'find' 'cobra', and display all posts. So, I posted it on facebook anyway.

I bet no one made that joke, but, wait, are they both played by the same actor or something? Because if so, maybe someone did.

As ilxors we should just collectively stop discussing hype.

Why does this old thread consistently make it onto most read threads?

i was gonna post on that glenn beck thread that i wished glenn beck would die, but then i kept thinking about how mean that is. plus, i may have already posted that on the glenn beck thread in the past.

although my "plus" would have been, "that would just make him a martyr for assholes."

If this becomes a thread connection, I will probably not post it

11. barely able to driver's head above steering wheel

barely able to see

I have been thinking it is October for a few days now.

why is that thread constantly in the most read threads list?

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 just wonder if it's some quirk in the system. it's always there.

Those famous Unabomber types

oh, this is actually not a thread about the suggest ban system

I have had it up to here waiting for the Fingerhut catalogue to be remastered.

Fact: www.dhmo.org is a website dedicated to that stupid joke your chemistry teacher makes in high school about dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) being the most abundant, potentially dangerous chemical in the world.

Fact: according to double top-secret web analytics I saw for epa.g0v today, the number two referrer to EPA's website in the past 3 months was www.dhmo.org, and it's been in the top 5 for the past year.

i wish this thread was locked because i totally feel like this now.

like what

xp - like the subject of a thread i had second thoughts about posting on that was a serious clusterfuck.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about bands I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

yeah - i hear you on that one.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about Picthfork, I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

I always like going on the Pitchfork thread because it makes other people who allegedly don't read it cry.

?

talking about the "omg ppl are talking about Pitchfork, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" contingent

xxp - do you talk about provates or something?

oh. that's me, sometimes, too. i mean, i can't restrain myself and i should

Provates--their new album is great, much improved over that EP last year

kinda feel like derailing LJ's epic poll thread and protest vehemently that he should have included track 6 from the last Provates album.

Wait was the Neil

what? I didn't catch that. But my hearing's been for shit since I was a kid.

100 miles isn't really very far - there are people out here that commute that distance to work every day.

'shut up'

;)

ha - that is my US-centric view of things.

pennyroyal

I said basically the same thing when I got a ticket for not having my headlights on over the weekend driving my mom's truck.

i wouldn't mind being a mod, actually.

I just noticed this thread happening. So that comment happened near the beginning of the thread?

I can't

sometimes I think cat power is the only music i agree with

Agree with, like, the sentiment of the words? Or the entire musical aesthetic? Maybe I shouldn't ask. Maybe this should be a safe place.

I wasn't gonna ask what you can't, but this is a haven, so I didn't.

that guy is an old friend and collaborator of my boss. He's a good player.

Ned? You worried about pulling a Suzy?

Yeah, and violating my new self-imposed posting limitations.

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

so much for the tolerant centre-right

hands up everyone who has won elections lately

I got my choice for the book club through. High time everyone started listening to my strategic insight more tbh.

Bret Stephens can suck my dick

I would never give him the satisfaction.

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.

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

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.

microcosm of the world at large :(

I think it's important that we don't judge people by the first kneejerk slurs they go to when they're cross

I unreservedly condemn unperson's gross and violent attack. I apologize to ILX for waiting a day to condemn it.

It’s nice to see gyac saying something positive about zach as opposed to accusing him of being a monster.

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

I was referring to gyac’s crusade against you a couple years back. Anything recent, idk either

I unreservedly condemn unperson's gross and violent attack. I apologize to ILX for waiting a day to condemn it.

Very interesting how the initial reaction was to cheer this on, because of who it was directed against.

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.

*points at a vile aggressive post* this poster has value!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would love for this thread to go back to its roots tbh

maybe start a new thread with that explicit premise and lock this one because this one is toxic af

all the posts to this thread in the past day and a half were originally intended for I Rate Everything. I claim my prize.

Xp tracer, I am not a sitewide mod and can’t lock this thread
