also this is why people hate Americans in that thread
“It’s complicated”“Wow I guess we have some Putinists here EH COMRADE”
Also if Americans are being silenced by fear of that then damn I wish it worked better cos last glance the thread was full of shit and getting worse

would also suggest the response to people going like “why is Tucker Carlson being brought up here “ was not ok, but you know, we established this was a numbers game a while ago.

tbf it was a "not our problem but we own everything west of Europe" policy but yeah i know the shift is something

True but I was also including that in “about himself”. Maybe he’ll do something useful with the time, like signing up.

if an american throws popcorn at another american in a movie theater, the corned american can legally murder the thrower with a gun (in florida). so americans themselves aren't immune.

I didn't fp anyone, but if the linked post did calz in, it's because he called someone a "tool", making all self-conscious about their age. Americans want to forget the Jerky Boys.

look under the well-understood fp system its no good complaining that:
- ppl shouldnt be banned- the wrong ppl have been banned
we should ofc be complaining that far too few ppl have been banned and demanding more from our mods

I read the anarchist article that table posted, and it made me grasp the situation a bit better, but it was also depressing in the sense of
can't find anything I want to vote for here
also some of the small details (not war related) reminded me of my ~lyfe~ and I felt kinda depressed

I'm going allow myself an ironic chuckle as I was one of the few people on that thread to oppose the FP changes that were canvassed for and were later voted through - changes that were designed to make ILX a calmer, more civil and friendlier sort of place!

Every time I scroll reddit, there is either a fat man playing guitar LIVE or a skinny mustachioed man twiddling knobs LIVE. I dread the morning because i know i will open reddit and always find one of these two men. Which will it be tomorrow? Fat fractional tone bend man? Or skinny knob turning fella with text "BRITTLEBABY" in the footer? Where are the fucking slack channels that will solve this problem for me!? I can handle any posted text on this messageboard.
― pickle loaf (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 13 March 2022 07:59 (two years ago) link
Those LIVE reddit posts default as muted, but I have to be sure that they aren't actually telling me the future! What if guitar man isn't plugged in? What if the Really Good Posts about handling Covid are being broadcast LIVE and I am missing them because I shy away from the sight of a bit pentatonic noodling. Surely I have to CHECK?!
