you could never listen to even half of all the music. so you'd have to listen to a representative sample of all music, and then predict that you dislike most music

some ilxors like to affect a lack of understanding of rhetoric for comic effect. some ilxors maybe don't actually understand rhetoric.

some songs I like. some songs maybe I don't like. it is only appropriate to be conservative about language and the exact numbers itt.

but if yr saying that u just find dollar bills to be aesthetically pleasing i cannot agree
no i'm saying what you're saying. also spending it on consumer products i want, for me.
― bagging area (map), Thursday, 18 August 2016 22:35 (eight years ago) link
it's not cool to be a craven apolitical consumer lifestyle gay but i think i am more of one at this point in my life. i get a lot of satisfaction out of buying things i want. and that's ok.
― bagging area (map), Thursday, 18 August 2016 22:37 (eight years ago) link
I want lots of money but my life choices have not pointed me in that direction whatsoever and i don't see that changing soon. im not so much interested in buying things, but am interested in vacationing, eating out (well), and attending events all of which require $$$

― F♯ A♯ (∞), Thursday, 18 August 2016 22:47 (eight years ago) link
xp yeah i chose my profession based on vaguely altruistic aspirations which i'm totally over and now i have a shit ton of debt and a low income range so my spending capacity will probably just become more limited in the mid-term, buying things has turned into my way of not dealing with it well. i also want to travel so bad.
― bagging area (map), Thursday, 18 August 2016 22:50 (eight years ago) link
Money is good when you can travel, buy drinks for friends, and think of nice places to eat lunch.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 18 August 2016 22:55 (eight years ago) link
Is there such a thread? I would like that. Though probably I'd find out that all the 'weird' smells I love are totally normcore and boring.

I have a limited range of small-c conservative beliefs but the ones that tend to cause the most arguments are:
The interests of teachers and teaching unions don't always overlap with the interests of learners.
Defamation and privacy laws need to be fit for purpose and resistant to obvious abuse but should be robust enough to provide a genuine check on a 'free press'.

weirdly i think all of my conservative beliefs are really leftist beliefs in disguise?
like, nature is indifferent, nobody deserves or is owed anything, not freedom, not safety, not a future, not care nor consideration -- there are no rights, history has no moral arc. that these things exist in the present is the result of long struggle, easily reversed.
