do you folks just read literally every post in the threads you read? i've been on ilx long enough now to know whose posts to skip..

not talking bout the good/bad doctor, in my case!

brimstead, Thursday, 17 November 2016 19:59 (seven years ago) link

it's harder to skip/scroll on threads with fewer posts.

sarahell, Thursday, 17 November 2016 20:00 (seven years ago) link

or rather, more active threads are more conducive to skipping/scrolling past unwanted posts.

sarahell, Thursday, 17 November 2016 20:01 (seven years ago) link

yeah i guess i was referring specifically to the politics threads

brimstead, Thursday, 17 November 2016 20:02 (seven years ago) link

oh nevermind, i'm such an ass

brimstead, Thursday, 17 November 2016 20:03 (seven years ago) link

oh I'm skipping and scrolling in the "mourning" thread at about the same level as the Game of Thrones thread during the last season. Some of the same posters actually.

sarahell, Thursday, 17 November 2016 20:04 (seven years ago) link

with long posts its best to just read the first and last sentence.

scott seward, Thursday, 17 November 2016 20:05 (seven years ago) link

idk why that thread is seen as a "clusterfuck" it's kind of reached the root of a real ideological divide w/in the party itself but whatever lets you ride the fence in superiority

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 17 November 2016 21:01 (seven years ago) link

the arguments are fuckin' Life of Brian-worthy

Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 17 November 2016 21:05 (seven years ago) link

ahh speaking of superiority

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 17 November 2016 21:06 (seven years ago) link

maybe someone saw you posting numerous times repeating the same argument over and over and just assumed based on past experience

sarahell, Thursday, 17 November 2016 21:22 (seven years ago) link

some people think clusterfuck is just "highly active thrad" i guess

a but (brimstead), Thursday, 17 November 2016 21:22 (seven years ago) link

guy who thinks hes too radical for most leftists accuses leftists of firing circle, interesting

Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 17 November 2016 21:32 (seven years ago) link

if you two start a clusterfuck on here we will laugh and then shug our shoulders and say that's our morbz and deej!

scott seward, Thursday, 17 November 2016 21:37 (seven years ago) link

Easier to flag post than laugh

mh 😏, Friday, 16 December 2016 16:54 (seven years ago) link

a: kids are annoying and i don't like being around them
b-z: wow, you must lead a really sad life! disliking kids is a sign of low emotional maturity. everyone was a kid once, if kids didn't exist adults wouldn't exist you know! kids are abused all over the world and don't have a voice to advocate for themselves and i think it's monstrous to say you hate a marginalized group like that.

b/w people being unable to understand why for e.g. a gay adult might say something like "i hated kids even when i was one"

ya or not

loudmouth darraghmac ween (darraghmac), Friday, 16 December 2016 17:08 (seven years ago) link

lex: man parents are the worst
parents: *are the worst*
phil d: *hums?*

forgive me fader for I have sinned (wins), Friday, 16 December 2016 18:02 (seven years ago) link

I don't know why people make these distinctions between who's better, kids or adults, when we're all just different sizes of the worst.

How about we not turn the CFS thread into the sequel of the original? Please & thank you

I used the term "monster" half jokingly ftr. Lex is not a monster. I was just trying to point out that it was a little weird that he was discussing kids like they were annoying little accessories of posh londoners and not people in themselves. I would have accepted that he was being cheeky or whatever they say in merry old England but lex is on the record as hating humor.

Treeship, Friday, 16 December 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link

I apologize for the role I played in the clusterfuck.

Treeship, Friday, 16 December 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link

This thread is always a good reminder of that weird thing about human nature where you think it's going to be the big, heavy, fraught shit that's going to cause a shitstorm of an argument when actually it's just things like, why did you put the milk in on the right side of the refrigerator when we ALWAYS put it on the left?!?

My Lunch Is Older Than Your Lunch (Old Lunch), Friday, 16 December 2016 18:27 (seven years ago) link

Happy holidays treeship :-)

lex is on the record as hating humor.

lex says (intentionally) funny stuff all the time.

The Doug Walters of Crime (Tom D.), Friday, 16 December 2016 18:28 (seven years ago) link

More like the tyranny of self-described comedy iirc.

My Lunch Is Older Than Your Lunch (Old Lunch), Friday, 16 December 2016 18:31 (seven years ago) link

Yeah youre right. And I half remember agreeing with some of his points in that thread. I don't have any excuses.

Treeship, Friday, 16 December 2016 18:32 (seven years ago) link

take lex seriously but not literally imo

Because of that thread, I will not discover what zings are hiding in my favourite thread tonight, or tomorrow night.

goddamn, y'all's summaries are almost tempting me to drag my antinatalist ass over there. but i won't. i'm not an antinatalist proselyte.

trilby mouth (darraghmac), Wednesday, 11 January 2017 20:56 (seven years ago) link

in seriousness, the dp thread is a good one to go in for some lighg musing from time to time while ilxors of good calibre and sound morals try to argue that the nazi hierarchy had an inherent worth that society should twist itself into knots trying to protect its fun
