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?!
― pickle loaf (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 13 March 2022 08:05 (two years ago) link
It's past midnight and I am drifting away. Who will it be? God I pray for a new one. I'd love to see a LIVE stream of someone reading just the most horseshit ilm thread. The sincere gaz coombes thread. I hope people took a beat before hitting the 'submit post' button in that sacred fucking ground.

Can a mod please right click the C drive on the server, go to 'properties', and check how many posts we have left? Can you also change my profile picture to the '8 ball' while you're poking around the control panel? I sure feel behind it right now. Say, if itunes on the server came preloaded with 'into my arms' by nick cave can a mod please listen to the whole track to be sure they didn't slip in any messages about The Two Men on Reddit. They wouldn't put it in the beginning, so you'll have to listen to the whole thing.

― pickle loaf (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 13 March 2022 08:56 (two years ago) link
Or should I tell him on reddit?
You can complain where you like!
Like if you want a fight, go and complain to them direct
But if you wanna roll eyes and not have a fight, do it here
Or anybody can just think thoughts of things they think are bad if they don't want anybody to know
It would be great to think everything's good, maybe, but we're human, maybe only Buddhas enjoy everything in the cosmos

I'm going to go serious for a minute
The slack people have gotten upset about was announced and advertised on ilx lots and lots of times.
It doesn't have secret membership requirements, anybody can sign up.
It isn't a googleable place of permanent record.
99% of it is people talking about positive stuff they enjoy and supporting each other thru covid and other shit
Anybody who's come along has been welcomed. Whether they chose to stay welcomed has been on them, far as I can tell
One difference to ilx maybe is people generally talk to each other as people and not as an audience for shtick
There is one channel on the slack where some of the members including me complain and laugh and take the piss out of ilx posters and posts that grind our gears
God knows how many other places on the internet or in real life people do same
If people genuinely feel that ilx would be improved by everybody straight calling everybody else on their bullshit all the time, well, I think we tried that and I think the consensus was it wasn't so great
If people genuinely think nobody should ever chat shit about a person, a persona, or a post they think is mean or asinine then great, god speed, I do not know how you wanna police that
Most people I find are better for knowing but sometimes there are limits and maybe for all of us we have people who are better for avoiding
That's my rant, say what you like about it, here, somewhere else, or in your head. I give no fucks
