well to be fair the poll / ballot poll avalanche seems to have died down for now

It seems like a lot has died down on the music side, tbh.

about the loss of communal experience I really wonder why that is, what has changed about ilx / the outer world

if u want a communal experience on ilx, i invite everyone to come to i love hoops during Important Basketball Games and things of that nature

yeah speaking of communal experience, twin peaks thread s3 thread was really great ... and i guess this explains why the book and movie threads are pretty busy
maybe it's that we're all just online all the time and being online and looking at facebook / twitter / cable news is our communal experience which is a miserable communal experience honestly
maybe we all need to go on a hike next weekend and then compare notes on our hikes on ilx (this thread already exists, i know!)
again sorry for ruminating (i have to work crazy late and i'm procrastinating rn)

This is lame btw, everyone is free to think and say what they want about the European Union or Corbyn or whatever is happening in that thread. Except people also say stuff back.

I don't know the joke, no.
But, being sentenced to life in a cell with a bunch who were there before you, and they all laugh at some joke you don't understand because you weren't there at the time..
― Mark G, Thursday, 9 August 2018 07:39 (five years ago) link
the punchline is that they've run out of new jokes to tell because they're stuck in prison. so they've memorized and numbered all of the jokes. so someone just says a number and everyone remembers the joke and laughs.
― the late great, Thursday, 9 August 2018 08:14 (five years ago) link
xp maybe it's the shitty way you say stuff back that offends people
― the late great, Thursday, 9 August 2018 08:15 (five years ago) link
Maybe.
People can also say shitty things in a nice way and it doesn't excuse it in anyway.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 9 August 2018 08:32 (five years ago) link
so ... what excuses saying stuff in a shitty way?
― the late great, Thursday, 9 August 2018 08:35 (five years ago) link
what's your excuse, dickhead?
― the late great, Thursday, 9 August 2018 08:36 (five years ago) link
ppl disagree on what things are shitty and what ways to say them are shitty ime its a real puzzler

On a slight digression, having been browsing quite a lot of old threads recently, I think 2001 - 2004 was peak ilxor. It was friendly, intelligent, sociable, interesting, sociable, fast-moving and people had more interesting and cute problems (eg crap jobs, flat sharing/room mates, travel on a budget). And there was a greater insight into peoples' off-board lives which i miss.
― Luna Schlosser, Thursday, 9 August 2018 08:59 (five years ago) link
xp Okay, thank you both for your time on the "Reasons to leave ILX" thread - it's a fine display, the judges can't fail to appreciate it. Who's next on the ticket?

why not just apologize and move on?

it should of course be obvious why i would pick not being a white supremacist as my hill to die on

you could even just sidestep the issue and apologize for wounding my fragile ego
