An all-new version of the ILX code is being developed. You can test and comment at sandbox.ilxor.com.

What percentage of your daily conversations, on average, come around to the subject of Trump?

"Conversation" hereby defined as a discussion that lasts over twenty minutes and includes at least five back and forths. Can be in person or online. This isn't a subtweet-style poll I realize I talk about the election a lot too.

Sub-question for old ilxors: During "Beatlemania" did people talk about the Beatles this much? What about Lisztomania? The trial of Socrates?

By yr criteria none of my conversations on any topic are conversations

― Daithi Bowsie (darraghmac), Thursday, 5 May 2016 03:15 (ten years ago)

yeah u are a trappist monk technically

― Treeship, Thursday, 5 May 2016 03:16 (ten years ago)

maybe i should have said "10 minutes" max or something. i wanted to throw out a lot of everyday, business interactions and things and just include people sitting around shooting the shit.

i would say i am at a solid 5%, perhaps as high as 7%.

― Treeship, Thursday, 5 May 2016 03:18 (ten years ago)

i teach high school government/economics and 99% of my students are latinx so trump is a common conversational topic in my life

>0.1% but disqualified by reasons of nationality, class etc.

i'm with darraghmac- am no longer capable of conducting a conversation, except with my spouse. even then we don't talk for twenty minutes at a stretch.

― diana krallice (rushomancy), Thursday, 5 May 2016 10:41 (ten years ago)

anything over 2 minutes is a conversation

I don't talk to people IRL if I can help it. I'm certainly not going to talk about politics with my co-workers, though I know the owner of my company is a Trump supporter (he's got one of those red hats in his office). I dip in and out of the Presidential primary thread here, but one poster in particular makes that so fucking tiresome that I can't even get really engaged with it.

― Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Thursday, 5 May 2016 13:13 (ten years ago)

yea i am not really engaged this time around, maybe a little but i'm tired of trump

― marcos, Thursday, 5 May 2016 18:45 (ten years ago)

tired of bernie

― marcos, Thursday, 5 May 2016 18:45 (ten years ago)

tired of clinton

― marcos, Thursday, 5 May 2016 18:45 (ten years ago)

i'm also just like tired all the time

― marcos, Thursday, 5 May 2016 18:46 (ten years ago)

my 13-month old son slept through the night for the first time ever last night, it was a goddamn miracle. i've been tired for the past 13 months

― marcos, Thursday, 5 May 2016 18:46 (ten years ago)

This is why i keep my conversations to a minimum.

marcos I am high fiving you that your little feller slept through the night and praying for more nights like it!

― The bald Phil Collins impersonator cash grab (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Thursday, 5 May 2016 19:07 (ten years ago)

thank you jclc!!! me too

Who has time for conversation when you've got one-note political opinions to endlessly reiterate?

― Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:06 (ten years ago)

i don't believe that you guys aren't talking to people in your daily lives. i see you having conversations on here all the time.

― Treeship, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:11 (ten years ago)

No eye contact necessary, here.

― Evan, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:12 (ten years ago)

Not American, so ca. 0.0000000000001%

if you're taking ilx into account, I guess this thread is about it

― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:27 (ten years ago)

it's interesting the low numbers ppl are having. i hear him mentioned constantly... often as an aside, some sly joke or whatever

― Treeship, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:32 (ten years ago)

I love the way the BBC have constantly tittered at Trump's crude/racially divisive/ugly/stupid campaigning methods on the PM show and yet when Zac Goldsmith employs the same methods you don't hear a fucking peep out of them. That was literally my only Trump thought for months.

― calzino, Thursday, 5 May 2016 20:46 (ten years ago)

three weeks pass...
