quiddities and agonies of the ruling class - a rolling new york times thread

I feel a similar way about this as I did when I first read Dave Eggers. "Dude, everything's been done and I suck, so how about I make art about how I suck." No fuck you. You actually do suck. Get out of my mindspace.

"no one could be more critical of me than myself" like damn girl, believe me, this is not the mark of precocious self-awareness you think it is. learn a little self-compassion and you'll feel better.

tbf Dave Eggers is a very charitable reference point vis a vis her tumblr

Go spend some time getting good at something, then come back and do it for me in 5-10 years.

apparently she is gonna stop making these soon because her pen is running out & it would be impossible to justify buying a new pen solely to continue transmitting these fleeting insignificant thoughts to the page

Her budget does not run to new pens all willy-nilly.

can we as a culture stop pretending that being self-hating and neurotic is somehow correlated to being insightful and intelligent

kind of want some ukelele band to use this as their album cover so she could be their ray pettibon

strangely reminds me of this:

apologies to Danny Brown for that

can we as a culture stop pretending that being self-hating and neurotic is somehow correlated to being insightful and intelligent

You can fucking thank Woody Allen for that, I think? At least partly.

why do i hate people who have these thoughts so much

envy and resentment at people counting them as 'thoughts'

hey maybe hbo can give her a show

this thread is a monster, ilx approved topic

We Hate it When Our Friends Have Strong Feelings About Kickstarter

i started a new thread last night. but people can just use this one if they feel like it. i just have to change my settings or something. cuz if i miss stuff there is no way i can look at the whole thread. i mean i probably could but it would take a while.

use bookmarks!

everyone!

What's the new thread?

this one:

even more quiddities and agonies of the ruling class - a new rolling new york times thread

i'll try the bookmark thing. i just wonder about people who try and read a thread like this. can they read the whole thing? i'm thinking of future historians...

wont someone think of the future historians

i was thinking same thing re: scott. wanted to join in on the ragging of vamp kid sis but had to load up about 6,000 posts to get to the start.

yeah how do you know if you want to bookmark something if you are just clicking on a conversation in progress? having said that i really should have been using bookmarks all this time. i'm so friggin' slow.

ppl just bookmark willy nilly afaict

knowing what to bookmark is indeed more art than science

serious business here

LONG ILX THREADS HATE THIS ONE SIMPLE TRICK:

1. Click on the Permalink of the message right after the cutoff.

2. The URL will now contain something like "bookmarkedmessageid=3669956"

3. Change that number to something smaller and you will be jumped back to an earlier point in the thread without loading the whole thing.

"Granted, as a card-carrying baby boomer, I have an opinion on this topic that might be more than a little skewed, but I honestly can’t recall a time when I’ve walked away from a conversation with someone of my generation or even a decade or two younger and thought, “Whoa, did you really say that?” Mostly I see this happening with young people who seem to have lost all sense of boundaries and decorum."

^poll, btw
