A very good friend of mine just died. Can you console me?

BREAKING UP - this is the strangest breakup I ever had.
Sleeping with someone you don't even like very much -- when does this stop feeling so horrible?

Do you think those sad topics are bad things?

Not at all! Just noting the melancholy mood.

more comedy is about complaining about stuff than celebrating it, too

― Tyskie in the giro (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 26 September 2013 20:40 (twelve years ago)

― Tyskie in the giro (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 26 September 2013 20:43 (twelve years ago)

nah imo you just like complaining about the complaining, contrarian dick that you are

― gangover over sam over (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 September 2013 20:44 (twelve years ago)

you can be contrarian and whiney at the same time

but i think i mean

there is more stuff worth celebrating than complaining about

but we get all hung up on the complainy shit because it hurts and is with us more often

― Tyskie in the giro (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 26 September 2013 20:48 (twelve years ago)

It's easier to complain than it is to celebrate

― you are kind, I am (waterface), Thursday, 26 September 2013 20:48 (twelve years ago)

a better class of person laughs when you crack wise re the complaints- ppl get sniffy when you crack wise about the shit they think is worth celebrating

― gangover over sam over (darraghmac), Thursday, 26 September 2013 20:49 (twelve years ago)

fyi people, you should come to ilx for the lolz, not the complaints

otherwise you're doing it wrong imo

in the long run i think it's a net positive, especially if u do things like steal jokes/opinions to charm people with irl. but in the short-run there are definitely some lows

hobby v. compulsion

― Mordy , Monday, 21 October 2013 23:27 (twelve years ago)

I tried rationing myself to one post per day, period. That made me feel much better, but now it's more like one post per board per day, usually ILM and ILB. But it can be more, if the conversation gets good, or if I can several pieces of exciting news to lay on yall (ehh, usually re Rolling Reissues). Anyway, works for me.

― dow, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 00:01 (twelve years ago)

ilx filled an important hole for me after a difficult breakup but i think it also created some holes of its own.

― (emphasis Treeship's) (Treeship), Tuesday, 22 October 2013 00:17 (twelve years ago)

how so?

― markers, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 00:18 (twelve years ago)

mostly because it makes the internet a much more potent distractor for me than it was before and i've always spent much more time on the internet than i wanted to. but also i think there was a point in time in the summer when i was allowing myself to get actually offended by things people said on here and i didn't have enough perspective to fully realize that this is just a virtual space, that people here don't know me, etc. and this sort of freaked me out when i realized it, if that makes sense.

― (emphasis Treeship's) (Treeship), Tuesday, 22 October 2013 00:23 (twelve years ago)

the internet in general has a lot of benefits and drawbacks and it's hard for me to say whether it is good or bad. it fills a short-term need for interaction, information, etc. but in the longterm it can make you even more isolated. i guess the important thing is to be self-aware about your internet use.

― flopson, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 16:07 (twelve years ago)

ilx is not really good enough anymore to justify really spending a lot of time on, like the amount that could bum you out, which makes it easier. get saturated very quickly, which used to not be the case

i think what i value most about ILX is fun, stimulating conversation about music i really like and care about -- conversations that really help me better understand why a particular musician or piece of music resonates with me. i don't talk about music with too many people IRL, so I value that here. i also appreciate the ILPM parenting threads. it veers into a compulsion or gets unhealthy when i'm spending time here looking at threads whose topics i don't really care about or that are mostly negatively focused.

― marcos, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 16:18 (twelve years ago)

yeah, i post a lot to the more phatic, chatty threads but the ones that make me happy are about books, movies, or albums i care about.
