Reveal Your Uncool Conservative Beliefs Here

always interpreted that as they just enjoy arguing but okay

xp

you could never listen to even half of all the music. so you'd have to listen to a representative sample of all music, and then predict that you dislike most music

there is a thread for you: http://ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=48

looks like it'd be a thread about me and for others, but ok

call it ilx's desire to include all types

ilx's desire to make Big Bang Theory jokes

some ilxors like to affect a lack of understanding of rhetoric for comic effect. some ilxors maybe don't actually understand rhetoric.

some songs I like. some songs maybe I don't like. it is only appropriate to be conservative about language and the exact numbers itt.

first two sentences sound pretty vague tbh

first two sentences' physical strength and stamina are extraordinary

he understands rhetoric ladies and gentlemen

"I've got the conch"

"Oh yeah, well I've got the saxophone"

*plays hot licks*

Roland Kirk has both,

these guys can really play to conch

I was gonna post a Steve Swell vid. If Steve Swell survives the apocalypse, I don't think I'm gonna get the conch gig.

"no no stop stop!"
"not my conch tempo"
"again! 5,6,7,8"

all of my conservative beliefs are the cool ones

black is chic

stalinism is a best-case scenario for marxism in practice

keep reading this as "revel in your uncool conservative beliefs here"

that's how I treat the thread

sometimes (not always) it's probably best to kill them

otm

i love gluten

i love money

God yes to both

i love having money and i hate not having enough

but if yr saying that u just find dollar bills to be aesthetically pleasing i cannot agree

no i'm saying what you're saying. also spending it on consumer products i want, for me.

it's not cool to be a craven apolitical consumer lifestyle gay but i think i am more of one at this point in my life. i get a lot of satisfaction out of buying things i want. and that's ok.

I want lots of money but my life choices have not pointed me in that direction whatsoever and i don't see that changing soon. im not so much interested in buying things, but am interested in vacationing, eating out (well), and attending events all of which require $$$

that gluten comment reminded me that i really like the smell of baker's yeast

sorry this probably belongs in a 'weird smells you secretly love' thread

xp yeah i chose my profession based on vaguely altruistic aspirations which i'm totally over and now i have a shit ton of debt and a low income range so my spending capacity will probably just become more limited in the mid-term, buying things has turned into my way of not dealing with it well. i also want to travel so bad.

Money is good when you can travel, buy drinks for friends, and think of nice places to eat lunch.

sorry this probably belongs in a 'weird smells you secretly love' thread

Is there such a thread? I would like that. Though probably I'd find out that all the 'weird' smells I love are totally normcore and boring.

haha probably applies to me as well

i searched for it but couldn't find anything really relevant

there's a sickly sweet smell of wood that the table at my summer camp made when i scraped/filed it w/ the broad side of my pencil. also that chlorine'y indoor swimming pool smell.

I vote "strange scent wafting out of the a/c vent"

I think it's a shame that not all schools are teaching cursive writing anymore.

I have a limited range of small-c conservative beliefs but the ones that tend to cause the most arguments are:

The interests of teachers and teaching unions don't always overlap with the interests of learners.

Defamation and privacy laws need to be fit for purpose and resistant to obvious abuse but should be robust enough to provide a genuine check on a 'free press'.

weirdly i think all of my conservative beliefs are really leftist beliefs in disguise?

like, nature is indifferent, nobody deserves or is owed anything, not freedom, not safety, not a future, not care nor consideration -- there are no rights, history has no moral arc. that these things exist in the present is the result of long struggle, easily reversed.

humans are totally depraved, by their nature

that's not really conservative though? hobbes is a foundational thinker in liberal thought?

it's a conservative belief cf. Lakoff

My most conservative belief is probably that deep down I'm pretty glad/relieved to live under the protection of the world's most powerful military.

I like Uber a lot.

I like Airbnb a lot and ppl are always equating the two. Is there a difference? *wanders out*

i love airbnb

i have an almost physical revulsion to public shaming -- even in cases where the person did something "bad," i feel there is something unseemly about reveling in how bad and awful they are and how they are a "perfect example" of some larger social formation that is ultimately outside their control

People who use Uber and AirBnB and all these services should dispense with any pretense that those they are paying are equals, when they are functionally "the help" and should be treated accordingly and dress the part.

i get mildly annoyed by the use of "latinx" instead of latino, it is just cumbersome and i am skeptical of the notion that grammatical gender is oppressive
