Say something nice about another ILXor

I'll add my voice to the chorus of Aimless praise.

That said, as a follow-up to what Mordy said, what strikes us as common sense or an attempt at understanding the topic at hand from a reasonable angle may be construed as covert ideology. It goes without saying that I don't believe that to be the case in this instance (or it's an ideology I agree with), but I'm afraid his efforts ultimately did very little to bridge the communication gap, which is somewhat tragic.

someone posted in the masculinity thread something like “it must be nice to feel so sure of things” and it got lost in the thread but it resonated with me.

Yeah, that was an (unsurprisingly) underrated comment. I think it was FernandoHierro.

yes it was thank you! I had trouble finding it

I don't think there's a poster on here whose tone doesn't rub me wrong at one time or another, but I'm at the top of that list. The flip side of that is that everybody here who isn't a full-time shithead is capable of warmth, insight and lulz. So just like irl people really.

well merry sodding xmas to you too

;) <3

that was meant to read as "love you guys really" :D

no no I know!

hope Saturday isn't so Blue - certainly what with the Wolves being pleasant upon the eye there's a boon, likewise I am excited for Charlton's home game. wonder if football's inventors knew what they'd be doing for the culture

In a warm pub on a Saturday afternoon with sport on and vile gammony banter all around is one of the great Christmas pleasures

glimpses of forever etc

wish I was in the swilling zone today.

Ditto, stuck @ work w/ stinking cold, booze off-limits for the foreseeable. Bah!

Man City one up, cider chasing a warming rum in ideal Christmas cake booze combo, existential despair deferred til tomorrow, fuck it, what else do I know?

I’m just back from work and just pre-Xmas shopping, having a black ipa by myself in a warm pub. No sport, jazz on the speakers, and if there are racist banter merchants anywhere I don’t want to know about it. I’m much happier shooting the shit with you idiots thanks

down with that bliss as well as long as there's food

Beer is food

Very well said, NV. One can gauge my affection for ILX/ILXors by my assiduous avoidance of most other gatherings of two or more people.

engendering a kind of fundamental humility, I guess. like what the fuck do i know? someone posted in the masculinity thread something like “it must be nice to feel so sure of things” and it got lost in the thread but it resonated with me.

i'm sad about (and probably partly responsible for) what happened to the most recent masculinity thread revive but silby's posts to that thread were super inspiring and have helped me dealing with some of the stuff i'm going through that i don't necessarily know how to talk about

Yes, I appreciated silby and IO's posts from Thursday. I'm not very articulate on this stuff but a lot of that resonated.

shucks!

it's an incredible board. i've never been more impressed with it than this week.

sometimes i think the people here are the greatest people on earth.

then you remember whom Donald Trump appointed to his cabinet.

(xp) Now now, let's not get carried away.

Yeah that’s way too much, Fernando

If you meant that as a joke, apologies

Kind of sarcastic when you think about it... in fact withdraw that remark this instant!

Dunno the context cause you couldn’t pay me to click on the masculinity thread but hopefully ilxor.com can weather the scandal of ilxors saying something nice about another ilxor in the say something nice about another ilxor thread on ilxor.com

bc i dont belong in the no boys thread, but yerac is OTM x100000000000

yerac is right about most things except for that one food she hates that I like

At least some anthropologists hold that in prehistory, beer was liquid bread, and bread was solid beer,no wins has a point.

Imagine if people stayed up all night getting shitfaced at a bakery

They do. Carbs are the number 1 addiction after social media.

I’m sick of these pretentious hipsters and their beards and their sourdough rolls. Whatever happened to just watching the game and scarfing down a few Wonder loafs with your pals?

jumping on the aimless appreciation train. i'll just re-post what darraghmac said and point arrows at it, because he sums it up well:

aimless is a key reference point for decency and fairness imo
^^

Yes, agreed. He’s also had really insightful things to say regarding some of the things I’ve posted about dealing with over the last few years. Am an aimless fan.

can't believe I've scrolled up 50 posts and not seen any recognition for the brilliance of wins, the inspiring sanity of La Lechera, or the overall radness of ENBB

three of my favorites

Love sarahell, detest anyone who capitalises the w in my screen name, everyone else is fine

Wins OTM </predictable>

😡

I said screen name just now when I meant display name btw, something that lowkey annoys me when ilx gets it wrong (such as the thread “finest of display names only”—display names cannot be changed, it is screen names that I am unfailingly excellent at)

ilx used to have changeable display names

That may be the case but I feel the vocabulary should have shifted to reflect where my unfailing excellence lies

otm

you really should make a mod request for the thread title to be changed

Rolling wins excellence compendium

Phew I’m extremely drunk
