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

Not the appropriate time to talk about it.

on an inappropriately selfish note people dying at my age gives me the chronic fear

counting is hard

it's really quite straightforward: the 1st century had only 99 years in deference to our Lord and Saviour, who rose today

yesterday in the post I received my annual religious Happy Easter card from mum, I am starting to feel like a bridge to another era myself!

Every single one of you above appalls me. You are disgusting savages and I do not know why I still hang around this fucking website.

gotta be the Star Wars shit talk thread

any Star Wars thread tbh

didn't they remaster the beatles catalog already?

^^^^

yeah so now he only has it up to HERE, instead of *here*!

one must constantly fold new life experience into one's always evolving assessment of which Beatle best handled BEATLEMANIA

Good second thought imo elicits panic & controversy 8/10

maybe you should have had a better attitude during flyergate

words mean things fyi

didn't realise Stephen Kinnock was a regular poster tbh

sadly the balustrade is what you slide down, the banisters are the posts that stick up into it

*god*, we didn't all grow up in *shropshire*

Brief googling shows me that this is a British v. American thing:

Now here is where it becomes more confusing.

Many Americans — I cannot speak for other countries — also use the word “banister” to refer to the handrail of a staircase.

I think bannister is generally used in the UK to mean handrail also.

cf AA Milne, from "The King's Breakfast": ""Nobody," he said, As he slid down the banisters".

Yes I decided not to post that ON THIS THREAD because it's so dull.

also used in a popular Smiths lyric but I refuse to promote far right views

I call the handrail the banister or the rail or the handrail. The posts that hold it up are called balusters.

If I were feeling hypercorrect I might say that the handrail and balusters together constitute the banister.

If you are sliding down it, you are sliding down the entire structure, so sliding down the banister is fine either way.

Balustrade is too grand a word for a home. Balustrades are for fairy-tale palaces or dictatorial proclamation-making.

That was for the uk politics thread wasn't it

Balustrade is a very woody word

See also the old joke book title: "The Nail on the Bannister" by R. Stornoway.

i read the synopsis of the Cate Blanchett movie "Manifesto" and it sounds like the worst thing ever created

it wd be literal torture for at least one Blanchett hater i know

suggest bannister

ah, heres the [unintelligible]

I dunno, you probably grew up to become rape apologists or something.

just had an absolutely killer idea: what if, in between standing outside with signs + pussy hats, we start a thread where we repost tweets calling trump dumb and his associates evil, or even worse, hypocrites? pretty sure 1000 days of that and this bad dude is cooked! also, what's this i hear about collusion with russia? someone should point that out on a message board full of academics and record reviewers!

I don't get fan edits, not sure why one would prefer the vision of some dude in a basement with some video editing software over that of the director. But hey

xpost lol

imagine the stories they could share

It was fine

unsurprised

I got tempbanned for far less. Jesus.

even if one does subscribe to auteur theory, i have a hard time defending peter jackson's "vision" for _the hobbit_, for instance

but mostly it's that i like remix culture and the existence of one doesn't nullify the other. :)

was it a 51 thing or an activist mod?

unfortunately Andrew Rannells and Bette Midler are unharmed

The only reason I'm sanguine about your presence on the boards is that the last year has impressed on me the importance of understanding low information voters, and goddammit, they don't get more low information than you, you walking Voat thread.

please kill it before it turns into an ironically beloved regular

muahaha

it's preferable to the usual 'trump is SUCH. A. CHILD. I mean look at this tweet' fare tbh lol

u.s. polthread shd be concrete developments & alfred's daily greeting only

concrete developments like BREAKING NEWS: White House Official Says Everyone is Pooping Pants and Think This Guy is a Dumb Dumb Person

your daily update from wapo. wonder if they just hired a disgruntled (or just enterprising) intern for these vacuous and award winning updates.

why did Sub Pop and SST sign a lousy metal band?

White House Official Says Everyone is Pooping Pants

If that's not news, idk what is
