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

I got tempbanned for far less. Jesus.

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

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

Yeah, thanks for reminding me I shouldn't start threads. Again.

everyone was on yr side man dont embrace false pariahdom

xp - some men start threads that are born great, and other men start threads that have greatness thrust upon them

Yeah and on a tangentially related topic, cf. the persistent misapplication of stoic analgesics in how people discuss disease.

Like praising the "courage" of someone who is "fighting cancer." OMG, she's so brave, he's battling cancer, he lost his fight with cancer, she kicked cancer's ass, etc. There's a narrow tightrope of tone. One understandably wants to praise courage. But turn it a notch further, and it implies that people who are completely fucking terrified kinda deserve to die. We want to praise self-reliance and resilience, but doing so always carries a risk of victim-blaming.

Human dignity doesn't just apply to "brave" "upbeat" "fighters." It also applies to people whose response to something terrible is... terror. People who respond with sorrow to that which is sorrowful.

Viewing extinction through a moralizing human lens is a silliness

What's with the thread-policing tonight? Who made you think you are the sheriff of this town all of a sudden?

another great week of https://www.lamarketing.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Fresh-website-content-418x278.png on ILM

"I don't think he's inherently evil or machiavellian or anything, he just can't help being how he is because he was never taught otherwise. Anyone who ever refuses anything he demands gets fired, anything that goes wrong is always someone else's fault, he's incapable of doing anything wrong in his mind because he's always been right - he's been surrounded by yes-men and enablers his whole life because of how capitalism works. This makes him extremely dangerous (he won't deliberately destroy the world, but all it takes is a little suggestion from the truly evil realpolitik guys who have really been ruling the world before he got here: e.g. if enough people can convince him (using something the length of a Tweet because he has the attention span of a goldfDID SOMEONE SAY GOLD? We have the biggest amount of gold in the world-and not only that, the BEST gold! Everyone is talking about it!) that nuking Iran would be the best way to prove he's the most important man in the world, then by god, he will just go and push the button. Whoever refuses gets fired ("who's the president, you or me?"). The nuclear war that happens later won't be his fault, because this or that advisor had told him it wouldn't happen, it's clearly that guy's fault. Stop persecuting him.

In short: he's the product of his surroundings and there's nothing that can be done (impeach? he never did anything wrong! it was those disrussians who disrupted everything!). It's only a matter of time before he accidentally does something truly apocalyptic."

Not posted to Trump thread because I should stay out of politics threads and also meh, it doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks.

we could have done a better job of keeping the meme alive

I love you man but why can't you just extrapolate or something instead of embedding every semi-relevant tweet

but does ilx deserve him

ashut you ass

she's a tin-eared oligarch and everyone w/ standards was tired of her

Maybe there should be some sort of Soylent Green assisted suicide / organ harvesting program for people who'd like to add purpose to their early demise. Working towards a society that invites everyone to stick around & die of old age is obviously not realistic.

if that happens I can be a broken and pedantic misanthrope just like you, sounds chill

that's the spirit -- never back down from your own dumbass statements

if anyone did that we'd have no internet

the what?

The penis knows the real facts

thread titles that appear to be vmooc until you realise what board they're on and then they become vmic

and yet all these people continue to attend to this shit

Jesus that opening post though

REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED

is it a vibrant area?
