it's been a bad day. like many days recently tbh. smiths thread is a thing to behold, but what vexes me more is the ongoin j*rdan p*terson/alt-right/m4sculinity threads constantly being bumped. white men talking about white men indeed. I had hoped ilx would steer clear of at least the fringes of that nonsense. instead it seems ilx is just as mundane, and gives in as easily, trite and predictable as everything else. rip iirc.

hi there are non white people here too and the ilx takes on these issues is actual useful for us so f u tryna police how people deal and talk about racism and nazis being celebrated, magnified and popularized in the goddamn nytimes in 2018.

Also I made some good posts in that masculinity thread yesterday

I find it very easy to ignore the threads that I don't like/get tired of. Or is it that people wish others would post more on different threads?

I don’t understand what’s so fucked about this particular day on ilx I must be reading the wrong threads (Not following the jordan fuckhead one anymore for instance)

i'm saying: when the mainstream news, amazon best seller lists and ppl irl are telling you "this man that is famous for shouting down trans kids should be celebrated," having a place like ilx to scream HE'S A FUCKING IDIOT into is actually a good and healthy thing for many and f u for trying to get down on ppl for that
― kurt schwitterz, Thursday, 24 May 2018 00:32 (six years ago) link
idk i do kind of think there's a point after which screaming too long about someone starts to inadvertently make a place for that person's ideas, like at some point it's good to just put down the garbage person and move on. that point is different for different people though so i don't think it makes any sense to take lbi's high and mighty tone about it.

I am really only good at being silly and in-jokey
― homosexual II, Thursday, 7 June 2018 22:47 (six years ago) link
when i first started reading ilx you were one of my favourite posters and i wish you would come back for good
ikwym about the active subjects but there are so many threads that could be revived

You are a good poster and I'm glad to see you back. Particularly since there are so few lady posters around these days.
Also as my perpetually-ridiculous presence goes to show, there's room for silly in-jokiness in even the most serious threads. And everybody loves it. A lot.

Basically went like this:
Lost internet as I couldn’t afford it.Started reading and exercising instead.Any time I come back it’s the same old political mess, or specific users are just shit disturbers and somehow not banned. Love the music forums and many posters but it’s a huge relief not feeling the anxiety and stress of this fucked up woeld radiated back at me from other posters.
After 20 years here it was time to kick the biscuit and breathe for once. Peace !

I feel for a lot of people here who are experiencing extreme anxiety due to the climate were in. Hopefully there is peace around the corner or just take some time for yourself to feel less anxious

I'm glad when I see you post too. Whenever I get angry at someone on ilx for being lazily opaque I end up talking about food.

Did Ross have a different screen name before in 20 years of posting? I feel like I just saw the name pop up in abundance recently and truly cannot keep track of who is oldtime and who is real and who is pretending anymore. There is not a thread I'm aware of to get a straight answer so I figured I would ask here for transparency's sake.
