By definition, everyone on ILX reads at least one of those sites.

Well yeah, but I like I said, it's easy to forget that when you only read your niche threads.

I feel you tuomas, 100% of my knowledge of Gawker comes from that thread, it's certainly not a site I would have ever bothered to be aware of otherwise

I had no idea what Gawker was either, though I'm sure I'd saw it mentioned before, probably on ILX, I do own a TV however

wait I guess I heard about Gawker first on the Rob Ford thread, so that's not entirely true. Still my awareness of their schtick is 100% ILX-based. I mean, why would I bother to read that shit, I have better things to do.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 24 July 2015 18:40 (eight years ago) link
for the record let me state here and may it be known forever that i only know about pitchfork media from the pitchfork is dumb part #345345346543543543534543654765 thread, why would i bother to read that shit otherwise?
― marcos, Friday, 24 July 2015 18:59 (eight years ago) link
jk i read pitchfork everyday

Οὖτις, there are some ilxors who would lol at you if you said you do more reading in books than on the internet. to them this is equivalent to living your in a cave and crapping on the ground.
― Aimless, Friday, 24 July 2015 19:04 (eight years ago) link
American ILXors maybe. There are others, not that many anymore but still...

lol waht I made no strenuous arguments about gawker I barely posted on that thread

first sentence is correct, second isn't.
― da croupier, Friday, 24 July 2015 19:17 (eight years ago) link
or rather, first sentence is correct if you mean people would lol if you posted on ilx that you did more reading in books than on the internet. private conversation less likely.
― da croupier, Friday, 24 July 2015 19:18 (eight years ago) link
glad somebody's finally standing up for books

tbf, most of the lols on the interent are not actually laughing out loud, either
― Aimless, Friday, 24 July 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link
ilx IS definitely fond of nose-tweaking folks who have lots of time for it but regularly announce they have little time for crap. personally i think speaks well of our irreverence towards ourselves.
― da croupier, Friday, 24 July 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link
I have so much time for crap I can't even tell you.

ty, wins. I'd fix that, but ilx doesn't allow me to correct my typos. is it like that for you, too?

I read books. Don't mind the flickerings of light on the cave wall that is ILX either.
