ilx posts with striking imagery

i like most of you else i wouldn't post here, j get on 77 and stop prevaricating (although that thread does not feature that much kunis, sadly)

i have liked shakey for most of his ilx tenure but not so much recently now that he addresses not some but almost all of his posts as if he was responding to a reactionary commentbox moron on a newspaper website who doesn't exist on ilx

'lol sure obama is going to bomb russia'

'lol yeah aids was def invented by china' etc

i am old school, the whole idea of a secret ilx borad saddens me

? people develop strange impressions

xp

I am against 77 in principle j otm

oh please. get ur butts in there

if it hasn't happened yet it's never going to happen. I'm sure you all miss my presence v much.

yeah I get the idea that certain posters' wrong ideas of what 77 is calcified a while ago

it is a shame!

i love how cuddlestein this thread got

fu

my 77 issue is that iirc it's a feeb move to request an invite

I would nominate any of yis if that helps

should also mention that ilx's self-policing reflexes have more positives than negatives as this is the only board i know of that isn't spammed constantly with overtly ignorant posts. but the self-congratulatory echo chamber phenomenon nakh mentions is also a real thing

o yeah, agree completely w/ you there. there's truth to the "self-congratulatory echo chamber" accusation, too, but i'm dubious about the potential positive effects of an upsurge in brutal takedowns.

the original son—like when frats make you wear a dress and get paddled for rush

77 is a crut enterprise, anyone who thinks it could have any meanspiritedness at its core is wrong.

lex iirc

77 effectively a refuge from meanspiritedness when irl shitheads are targetting identifiable posters on the rest of ilx

sure but brutal takedowns are not remotely the only or the best response to that, treesh is a good example of someone who has no interest in that sort of style but is inimical to 'otm'

partly this is because of the concretization of experience afters on the internet and tiredness with saying shit, as seen in the recent and hopefully shortlived parodic use of 'hot take'

that 14 yr old derrida thread someone revived the other day was full of takes so caustically hot that derrida died of the radiation burns two years later, but even in that very naive discursive mode it produced content because there was a strong enough diversity amoing the takes and a certain level of care

/after years on the internet/

as seen in the recent and hopefully shortlived parodic use of 'hot take'

seems like ilx is a little more porous to usage trends happening in the wider internet esp. twitter. it still has it's somewhat hermetic character (we still say "otm") but less self-enclosed than it used to be.

just so it stays distinct enough from chan or reddit speak and i'll be fine. as soon as people start with "tfw" jokes i am fucking gone

so glad I don't know what that means

next generation of hip posters are getting old enough that they are scrambling for signifiers of youth as they age out of the sweet demographic spot; this is cyclical and i've been there

sorry i meant 'mfw' though i think t is used at times too

tfw no 77

ofc is the most rubbish recent internet abbrev ppl are saying a lot

i think it's strictly in terms of information that ilx has become basically 98% porous to the rest of the internet, i can't turn my head from one interwebthing to another w/o seeing the same shit over and over

treesh is a good example of someone

then we're agreed. to treeship!

also your username is amazing

this thread is for striking imagery people can we keep it together please

I tried with the pineapple but they kept on idk idk

thread de-railment is an ilx birthright

at least we're not talking about Review

anybody upthread who is considering renouncing their aversion to borad 77 after 7 YEARS of it being on ilx, you can request access here:

Request Access to 77 Borad

wins! :D much obliged & reciprocated

flopson, the kitchen is hot and we know the stakes in the EOY polls - you nominated at least 1 thing i voted for and introduced me to blanche blanche blanche all those years ago plus despite our almost incompatible tastes you roll for the stuff you like in a mostly enjoyable way so uh…respect?

all is forgiven

borad 77 after 7 YEARS of it being on ilx

jfc i miss the old days of 33 seconds after its opening

Ha, had absolutely no idea what borad 77 was until this thread!

tom, just click on the link and sign up. it's nothing sinister, it's pretty much like ILE really, but it's a safe haven from the prying eyes of the world at large

Why though? I waste enough time on one ILE .

... and I have nothing to hide!

i see no striking imagery in these posts.

Dud dud dud dud. (Jon -- J4ime Per3z and I watched this at a sleepover freshman year, and were both turned on by Liv Tyler. He jerked off in his room while listening to Smashing Pumpkins and I had to sit around wiht his mom, Y0landa!)
