Achievement: first time intuition aligned with real life

Yessss

my grocery store only plays "breathe your name" by sixpence none the richer

Looks like we need a 'Local supermarket/grocery store, what's on your iPod?' thread.

HAHAHAH

Every time I think you've reached your nadir on this thread, you say something exponentially dumber in your very next post.

fuck all yall off back to yr ilm pit tbh

someone needs more positivity on their iPod today!

Gary Bussy is my porn name

Trolling aside, I don't disagree with you, Kate, but bringing up this issue on the poll's margins is fair game imho, as is expecting more from music nerds, regardless of their cultural background. I don't know if you voted, incidentally, but you're precisely the kind of ILXor I expect to come up with a fascinating and genuinely diverse ballot.

i don't expect anything from music nerds except for them to like what they like, which people around here are pretty good at. and nah, i haven't even voted in this latest one, i'm pretty busy with other stuff, and my "diversity" mainly at this point has gotten to the point of my name-dropping records nobody else has ever heard of. seriously, what am i going to do, submit a ballot and figure out how to "rank" repetitor's "Sve što vidim je prvi put" in the context of all records released between 2000 and 2009? like i can even remember it exists when i'm not actively listening to it? if i want to promote the record, i can just namedrop it here, right? or i have a thread where i randomly post stuff like that every week or so.

again, i do believe that democracy has its uses but turning people on to serbian punk records or whatever isn't one of them.

honestly you folks are the only people i talk to who don't view my enthusiasm for serbian punk records or whatever as sort of a wacky sitcom running joke. and i'm sure there are some folks here who regard it as such but are too polite to call it out.

lately i'm just not interested in most polls anymore on ilm but ilm is still useful for me bc there are many individual posters with tastes who recommend stuff or submit ballots to polls that turn me onto things i like so polls are useful i guess but i don't care about the rollout just looking at particular poster's nominations and ballots.

so otm— i can usually get useful opinions to try to triangulate an opinion reasonable to me. not necessarily correct, usually useful, not infrequently amazingly helpful.

I’m absolutely mystified when anyone professes love for Destroyer. Everything about Bejar’s music bugs the living shit out of me. I feel like it puts the lie to Wilde’s dictum that all bad [art] is sincere. He just comes off like the high-school poet-rebel who ended up as an obnoxious, pretentious drunk in middle age. What am I missing?

Hitler iirc

IDK what you mean and am afraid to ask.

I think my ultimate take is "stop looking for external reasons to explain why people are terrible"

This is more of a 'can't post in poll thread because youtube videos are banned', but I had to comment on this remark:

*broken beats, tho broken bears sounds like an 00s indie band

everyone has work problems; i can't further impoverish myself fixing this one

*exit mr. wolf from thread*

I mean, you're not worth getting beat up and dying over, no. Which is what I told you ten years ago and now you're back like I don't need any explanation from you. I mean, I live in real people world, where there isn't magic and hope and promises and shit, and you don't. If you were so great, I wouldn't have had to listen to what I've had to listen to all weekend. And that is something you aren't entitled to know. Do fuck off.

Also, I wouldn't be caught dead living in your ugly house in your ugly state.

thank fuck I'm not the intended target of that post!

fuck soccer and basketball

But remember to use a rubber!

Obviously whether ~REDACTED~ and ~REDACTED~ (much less ~REDACTED~!) could have worked productively together is an open question, but I feel ~REDACTED~ would have councelled against the deployment of fretless bass and perhaps suggested ~REDACTED~ in place of ~REDACTED~.

it feels like literally nothing of any consequence (except further cultural and legal erosion) has happened in US politics since the Trump election, is this the case

the 2020 election cycle started in winter 2016, so we've been busy with that ever since

it is christmas for 1/3 of the year.
it is election season 95% of the time

i think everything should get paywalled. even one's own thoughts.

You're an asshole who would make a terrible, terrible president.

^Neil Young thread

Submit a poll ballot before coming on results threads to say you would have voted for something

There's never a bad time for coming on results threads.

this isn't the posts very much in character thread

I mean the football, it's...it's just sitting there, unguarded, my view of the goalposts is unoccluded. I have no particular reason to kick it but, man, it's been lined up so nicely it seems a shame to not take advantage.

this isn't the posts very much not in character thread!

trying to describe the ilxor subtype I call "How's Lunch" -- midwestern, cis-white male, a bit self-deprecating, fond of poop jokes

I want to protest but...well...

descriptive, not judgmental

i'm right there with you old lunch, although i think i'm heavier on the self-deprecation and lighter on the poop jokes

(although probably still in the 90th+ percentile with the poop jokes)

TBF I get most of my poop jokes out here and reserve most of my self-deprecation/-loathing for every single other waking non-ILX moment. Whattayagonnado!

I'm sorry but this is the only "holdiay movie" I'll be watching this year

Don’t care about the John Lewis Christmas ad only wanna see how Robert Dyas follows up on this banger pic.twitter.com/ed6G5O6H0u
