Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

^^^^^

basically a spambot at this point in his career

what i love about this thread is that i can't tell which posts are actual posts people had second thoughts about, and which posts are responses to those posts.

Ya its good imo

I love trying to figure it out but that's mostly because I like trying to work out if other ppl hate the same ppl I do.

thought about posting 'no way sna' thread posts here but I guess it would be too obvious

Mindblown

i'm a perennial hater of this thread and have been tempted to start posting the obvious-enough ones in the threads themselves

1 (one) pair of testicles.

post actually about this thread:

it kinda bums me out when people use this thread for passive-aggressive posts obviously directed at another poster made at a time when they could actually engage in the primary discussion. Most of my posts here are generic/oblique, using this thread as a substitute "i don't know where to post this so I'm putting it here" posts, or total latepass responses to things from weeks/months/years ago that would be meaningless to post in the original thread because discussion has moved on.

On the other hand, it's noteworthy that we've been discussing sociocultural inequity when it comes to speech/communication/interactions, and at some points, it appears to me (at least) that this thread functions as a way to express things when one feels that inequity going on in a thread and being involved in it, is uncomfortable for some of the same reasons that "less privileged" feel uncomfortable in discussions with more privileged ppl.

nah, i heart this thread because it's a testament that sometimes people do think before they post. sometimes becoming more engaged is just not the right thing to do.

I just don't have a twitter

an unproductive and wasteful local dynamic known as “churn” or “turbulence”

thought this was called "freedom"

[i use this thread to be glib (the above) or tasteless (a woody allen joke once) in ways i don't want to defend. i like the thread tho yeah it bums me out when it gets too solidly pass-agg for a while. the occasional bit of pass-agg is as real a guilty lol as any other of course.]

hot dogs. jokes. it does not matter. your posts are all the same garbage.

where do i put posts i thought about posting to this thread but then had second thoughts about posting?

Excelsior.

sarahell very much otm

ok but the thread is bumped almost exclusively by white men who roll their eyes when "privilege" comes up in a thread

sorry i don't actually care and don't really want to argue about this, enjoy this thread

I wonder what thread flopson's on about...

I think it's funny you bring up race when you've aligned yourself with ilx's most egregious exotifiers, as if you can't, for example, find a family resemblance among the "definitive goon cru anthems" and see why the thread is a gross (not to mention narcissistic) project. I don't know what you'd find attractive about White savior race hucksters like Weingarten and deej, the former who is still bitching about tokenism in year end polls as if he's some kind of hero to the oppressed and the latter who makes almost daily anecdotal assertions in his blundering quest to convey his knowingness about Black culture, except that you align with their racially manichean view of the world.

And you were the guy who was grandstanding about the company that, even if it doesn't end up reducing overall transportation coverage to one star neighborhoods with one star, ie Black and Hispanic clients, will put immigrant poc cab drivers out of work in favor of their "sharing" economy White counterparts.

I barely scrolled up, but I can tell that these posters are not all White and not all men.

^could have been the start of the clusterfuck ppl have been praying for

i was just referring to Mordy & darragh, who used to frequently post in this thread when a "social justice" flare-up was happening

as for listening to rap music and participating in threads about it: guilty as charged! i don't think it is gross or narcissistic to post youtubes of rap songs but YMMV. i also don't think whiney or deej are "White savior race hucksters"

as for me being racist for sort of defending uber in one thread one time... sorry!

where i live most Uber drivers and cab drivers are POC, so that doesn't line up with my xp. but i'd be happy to talk and argue about it more

you align with their racially manichean view of the world

lol i missed this on my first skim thru your post

i'm ready to go all in if bam's game

flopson i'd think you'd prefer me or deems posting our dissent here than chiming in on a given thread whenever we're annoyed by the outrage of the day

maybe it's not that you dislike the pass-agg dissent but rather you dislike not being given the opportunity to demonstrate your right-on political bonafides in the correct thread

don't want to spend my day defending deej & whiney but just out of curiosity: what's so bad about sometimes calling out what they perceive as racial bias in their field? and calling deej's writing a "blundering quest to convey his knowingness about Black culture" is pretty shitty. deej is a pretty great journalist of rap music. he (and whiney) do like, really great interviews and stuff. maybe read some stuff he writes professionally and you wouldn't have this impression of his work?

Privilege right here

I think a lot of them should have been shamed more for their Nazi sympathies and ultimately they all should be shot.

Those must have been some awful baby shower gifts.

Let's not rush to the right conclusion here

who said muslims can't integrate into the american way of life

you can't just go around talking shit about the read/unread dot

this is like pvmic meets pvmooc

Well, at least I know someone was in fact fucking with the gas flow to the lights.

what about we just have a poll for worst ilxors and throw out the top 10?

or best 10, either way

We ban the IP that voted the most.

TWU, please take this as a calm observation rather than a snark, but sometimes you get very heated and aggressive for somebody complaining about other people being mean

I KILL YOU.
