the terrible sins of Mordy, in chronological order

this question seems to be asking if you would make use of a pain-free (to yourself and others) way of committing suicide. i think for most ppl the impulse to stay alive is more than just avoiding pain - it is avoiding death/void/oblivion/nothingness. it is certainly that for me.

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 8:34 AM

i sometimes wonder whether it would be in society's best interest to create a way for people to commit suicide in a responsible (to their families + loved ones + themselves) way. presumably people are going to do it anyway, so maybe if we had some kind of "ethically" sanctioned dystopian way to do it (like those drinks in children of men, or the suicide booths in a mind forever voyaging), it might ease some of the pain. this might be a copout tho, since treatment has got to be the better model, right? (kant would certainly never condone suicide, even under the best most responsible conditions)

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 8:41 AM

I asked this question. This question is not about suicide. It is about not-existing.

Please can people not use this as a suicide thread, that was not the intention and I'd really rather the discussion did not turn that way.

― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Friday, October 12, 2012 8:46 AM

I don't think anyone in this thread has any right to draw conclusions about the mental state of anyone except themselves. Thanks.

― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Friday, October 12, 2012 8:55 AM

I disagree with the op regarding what this thread is about. Luckily death of the author etc.

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 8:57 AM

srsly speaking tho any question that asks about self-annihilation necessitates a discussion of suicide imho

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 8:59 AM

even if it is super special suicide

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:00 AM

sn't it great that there are people on this thread who can mansplain to me what the thread I started is about! Because I would ~never~ have known what was in my head otherwise.

― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:01 AM

who cares what you think the thread is about is really the point. i would happily "mansplain" 20th century literary theory to you, but i'll let wiki handle that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_the_Author

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:05 AM

f you could push a button and authorial intent would simply cease to exist, would you press it?

^^^ yes

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:05 AM

xp I don't see why the thread creator should have any special privilege to police the discussion

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:22 AM

and some dude otm. even if it would be ethically okay for me to wipe out my own existence, i don't think i can make that decision for the life that is dependent on my own existence to exist.

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:23 AM

If a thread-starter asks a question which is "do you prefer red or blue?" you don't get to walk into a thread and declare that actually red is yellow for the purposes of this question and claim "ooh, death of the author."

Especially if that means drawing dubious psychological conclusions about what it means for anyone on the thread who chose "yellow" (when they actually chose red.)

― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:30 AM

what if the thread-starter asks: 'if you could eliminate yellow or blue, which would you eliminate?' and someone declares that eliminating any one of those colors would also eliminate idk green (if i remember my primary and secondary colors correctly?) and then the thread starter said: "NO. ONLY ELIMINATING THOSE COLORS DON'T TELL ME HOW TO FEEL"

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:35 AM

maybe it's like that dr who thing where the crack in the wall eats you and then everyone forgets you ever existed.

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:37 AM

Mordy, you're a total arsehole and I wish you would cease to exist. Or at least keep your unpleasantness off threads that I start. Can you please just go away and just not do this, for once?

If you can't do that, I'm going to ask for the thread to be locked, because I'm really, really sick of this.

― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:39 AM

Get over yourself.

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:40 AM

I'm becoming completely serious, before you start with your "oh noes, women be being emotional" garbage again. Please just stop this.

― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:40 AM

WCC, any issue I have with you has nothing to do your gender.

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:41 AM (6 days ago)

fwiw, I don't really have an issue with you except that you love to escalate ILX arguments. I don't even have a problem with that tho! Go with god.

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:42 AM

also lol @ *my* women are being emotional garbage. i've never said that. but when did you stop beating your inappropriate work crush?

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:43 AM

i don't think i said anything warranting a flag post itt, but do what you've gotta do xxp

― Mordy, Friday, October 12, 2012 9:44 AM

Matt, please can you lock the thread. I'm deeply tired of this.

talking about suicide is actually triggering of suicidal impulses if you are that way inclined

posting to say you don't get to make generalizations like this no matter how bad you want to, Dr. Cheesecake

Yes I have to be honest that one stuck out at me too. Start a thread about "choosing not to exist" but say that suicide cant be part of it because thats "triggering". Can't have it both ways.

For people (plural) to point that out does not make them hateful overtalkers/mansplainers/bullies. Mordy surely coulda chosen his words better, but its not some big thing. Christ Ive had way worse on here.

how the hell is that 'mansplaining'? yeah this is about the most ridiculous clusterfuck ever

the main thing i get from the convo just posted is that Mordy is actually trying to engage with the question on his own terms after making the logical leap most people would make to suicide. That that, somehow, is disallowed by the threadstarter which is frankly ridiculous. discussing the fantasy of not existing without discussing suicide is basically not possible. and i say that as someone who thinks about it a fair bit.

well i'm a bit drunk.

Q: Why Can't the original question be clarified further down, e.g. "This is not about xxxx"?

Because if the discussion goes off, naturally, in that direction, does the OP have to then start a new thread? Or explain why not?

xpost Not Possible? Anything's possible!

i'm not a mansplaining expert but i always thought it was a more specific, patronizing attitude kind of thing where some dude basically commits the appeal to authority fallacy, but it appears that he's drawing his so-called "authority" from the fact that he's a man. i've definitely seen men do this to women many times before, so i actually kind of like the term because when people use it correctly it describes complex in a succinct way. i didn't think, though, that mansplaining referred to situations where someone is a man and talks

The crux of this whole mess revolves around the mental jiujitsu of turning a disagreement into a personal attack.

splain man talkin'

i think she should just get her own board where she starts the topics and deletes replies that do not answer the original question or replies that are triggering, and should see how many people want to be on the board and how many posts are left

The mansplaining and misogynist accusations are completely offensive in this case and WCC can fuck right off with that

harbl with the real talk, btw.

it's not even so much that one must follow the dictates of the threadstarter but that one is virtually assaulting the threadstarter if one disagrees

harbl otm

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

stop adding to the pile-on, System

lol

system is always mansplaining

system possibly also an anti-semite

systems are doing it for themselves

sorority is on the twitter

crut :D

keep reading this thread title as "should ilxors be trepanned" for etc

yes

suggest 'pan

let your brains breathe

had this exact thought on The Day Of October Twelfth, Two Thousand And Twelve btw

that board existed, though it became iltmi or something?

i'm sorry i stole your thought dayo. i wasn't even thinking an ilx board just a board in general.

Did some ILXors get banned for saying offboard that Lou1s Kagen had a subreddit or something?

Mordy started overtalking me, quoting "death of the author" (what? is that a threat?)

irl cracked up giggling at this, glad so many others enjoyed it too

hugs to jed_

harbl with the real talk, btw.

This already happened!

^^

yes

xxxp yeah, not as great as EP (couldn't really be given its humbler ambitions) but the four long songs and 'nonsense' are kickass. that said the best 2 songs are probably still the 2 that were released as a single. that plank! band you mentioned sounded pretty cool too - anything else you reckon i'll dig, well, you know the batsignalj

btw the new thumpermonkey album is absolutely incredible and if you like rock, prog, metal, intricate melodies, math rock, mayhem etc then here's 50 minutes' worth you won't regret: http://soundcloud.com/thumpermonkey/sets/sleep-furiously/

maybe i'll even start a thread on them next week, they're that good

anyway there's no other avant-idiocy to task yall up on so have a good one and play nicer

aw dayo n mookie you dont hafta *sniff*

okok you want more well i'm reading gravity's rainbow for realsies and to be frank no other literature matters right now. it's a stage we all go thru eh...less than 1/2way and it feels like 4 novels already!

i'm not a mansplaining expert but i always thought it was a more specific, patronizing attitude kind of thing where some dude basically commits the appeal to authority fallacy, but it appears that he's drawing his so-called "authority" from the fact that he's a man. i've definitely seen men do this to women many times before, so i actually kind of like the term because when people use it correctly it describes complex in a succinct way. i didn't think, though, that mansplaining referred to situations where someone is a man and talks

Dhalsim is a pretty cool character imo, takes a lot of skill to play him at competition level tho

no i mean it honestly delights me that people that have seen my posts under this dn for 4+ years straight STILL can't help but use that phrase in posts all the time not in a purposeful joking way. it's become a social experiment for me. w/ the feigned outrage being all part of the fun.
