Clusterfuck Summary Corner 2 - Back on the Corner

More like the tyranny of self-described comedy iirc.

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

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.

Death penalty thread, what up?

People think tempbans aren't a strong enough deterrent

Shame.

If ever there was a moment for departed prince Nilmar to sweep back in

RIP

he had it coming

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

definitely feel exhausted after all my 'no one should be executed' sophistry, should stick to some good old hate the sinner love the sin

tick. jpg

"lihgh musing" a+

so has the kettles thread revealed transatlantic differences as per tipping?

I think we got 1400 posts in before anyone realized that the UK usage of 'kettle' implied electric which, because of the difference in mains voltage between the two countries, is not the default in the US. And then the argument eventually devolved into a discussion of building meter data, for some reason.

two nations divided by a common lanaguage

has anyone ever posted a controversial opinion in the controversial opinions thread or a conservative opinion in the conservative opinions thread? all I'm seeing is milquetoast chitchat like "velveeta is actually pretty good in a grilled cheese sandwich" and idk if it would be a good use of my time to dig deeper in hopes of uncovering a couple of quality shitposts

Someone posted a conservative opinion in the Free Speech thread and was banned quick

haha really do tell

i'm pretty sure i've posted conservative opinions in the conservative opinions thread

oh right that orientmammal guy. idk if he did anything really bannable on that thread. granted he had stupid opinions but

xp

didn't he get 51ed?

yup

and he was banned more for feelings lingering from his previous incarnation probably more than what he said now.

I thought my opinion on the conservative opinions thread was reasonably conservative!

meanwhile we have somehow wound up on "what is a RIFF" debate on the Jimmy Page thread

Recent decades in the USA have seen a drift in the meaning of "conservative opinions" to where it is almost synonymous with either "batshit crazy ideas" or else "sycophancy to the rich and powerful". This has made it harder for educated Americans to embrace "conservative opinions".

i still don't really get why people were mad in the creepy liberal thread. i tried to read it but it makes me sleepy.

Meantime, the Led Zeppelin/downward arc thread turned into an extended back and forth on what is a lick vs what is a riff and my head hurts.

"meanwhile we have somehow wound up on "what is a RIFF" debate on the Jimmy Page thread"

ILM is a total waste of time. #controversial

But...what is a riff

ILE is fine though. especially now that ned is holding our hand on the trump thread. we need support in these trying times.

What is a riff and how do I know if I'm playing one?

If you have to ask, well, maybe you'll actually know.

all we do on ilx is riff

we the best man

always the best man, never the groom

When is a riff really just riff raff?

A lick is more intimate than a riff and therefore requires consent before headbangers ball.

controversial opinion: led zep are total unmitigated shit and unrepentant sexual predators to boot

You know a riff when you hear one. Check this riff:

*riffs hard*

led zeppelin is a fine classic rock band but ultimately ignorable imo

are you trying to cause a clusterfuck in this clusterfuck thread, cos that's so 2011

led zep released 'd'yer maker', your argument is invalid

"controversial opinion: led zep are total unmitigated shit and unrepentant sexual predators to boot"

that's not even controversial

I used to not care about Led Zeppelin, now I wonder what the heck was wrong with me

amazing they invented Sublime decades early with d'yer

Matt Taibbi thread?
