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

of course no one on that thread was actually proclaiming a love for landlords but hey ...

dogshit vs. pancreatic cancer: y'know, dogshit is not as bad as pancreatic cancer

some ilxors: omg you love dogshit!

Landlords and cops both resemble cancer more than dogshit

granted a cop can kill you faster than cancer -- so like: cops < pancreatic cancer < landlords/dogshit

i’ll never be mature enough to understand how the real world works, so I can see how all the worst things in existence are good actually

you'd enjoy the Slack then

very nearly FPed you for that before i thought about it

Lol dude just fucking get over it

Slack huh?

I still have no idea how to read this thread. Or what the purpose is?

Cattiness AFAICT

a discussion about ending or slightly reducing state violence should not sound this much like a discussion about how to market a new product. imo

Does the entire fuck the police aesthetic strike you as deeply fucking irritating?

Political slogans have been around for at least 2400 years. They show up in ancient Roman graffiti.

a big problem with the future of the universe is that we can expect things to get more complex (law of entropy), while at the same time people prefer things to be simple. there is always going to be a battle between those who recognize the complex truth and those who exploit those who need things to be easy and binary.

Galaxy brain: simplicity is more complex than complexity itself.

onimo have you listened to the ALAB podcast

All Lawyers Are Beautiful?

delete this thread & abandon the tradition entirely

onimo have you listened to the ALAB podcast

No but it look intersting

My display name was in response to (very small) bits of ilx pivoting from 'oh noes who will think of the cops' to 'oh noes who will think of the landlords'

OTCTKLAGC is what the progressive Maoists are using these days!

(acknowledging that the cops that liquidate landlords are considered comrades until further notice)

What I know of law I learned from US drama but 2 episodes into I am enjoying this dose of actual lawyerly cynicism. Thank you harbl!

(endlessly distracted by the guy with Seth Rogen Voice - he's too baked to practice law!)

haha i thought it would be too u.s.-centric maybe but it doesn't presume much knowledge. the "lawyer brain" series is great.

is seth rogen voice gravelly (that's tarik aka the helldude) or squeaky (that's andy aka maximum wasp) or the other one (michael in the early episodes)

Gravelly

Ep 3 on Faketoshi was so good. I'm going to burn through this whole pod in no time

v Rogenesque when he laughs

hes the helldude

you're all proving him correct tbh

Good pom bad pom

Negging on folks who probably agree with you on eight out of ten issues is a real solid way of reifying your politics, sure, right on.

not getting sucked in by people who will ultimately sell you out on the other hand

Hearing that it’s actually good and fine for numerous posters to start fights with leftist posters and follow them from thread to thread, but as ever, only punching left is acceptable.

know your enemy n'est pas?

i honestly have no idea what is acceptable anymore ... I feel like the biggest differences on ilx are between "idealism vs. pragmatism" along with differences about expressing/handling trauma and anger.

one thing i believe I've learned over nearly twenty (20) years on ilx is that taking aggro or obnoxious people on the internet too seriously is almost always the wrong way to handle the situation, even and especially if it causes the dreaded IRL fight or flight reflex

There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
His neighbors are all invited
With Gacy cooking all the food
Everyone will be delighted
To make the BBQ
Annual Gacy has decided
For all his friends and neighbors
With the drinks and food provided

The annual party at Gacy's house
Everyone had much fun
He invited his friends and neighbors
And Gacy cooked for everyone
The BBQ at John Gacy's house
Everyone was outside
But nobody knew of the dead boys
That Gacy stashed inside

Gacy cooks the food at a furious pace
His BBQ pits ignited
While contemplating great BBQ
Everyone's very excited
The food is served, and they take a bite
Everyone is delighted
But they'd have a fit if under the pit
They knew dead bodies resided

There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
Come on everybody let's go check it out
There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
With free drinks and food we'll scream and shout
There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
Where all the dead boys are buried about
There's a BBQ at John Gacy's house
Come on everybody let's go check it out

Now I have to pee

When you walk in there you best prepare, the smell of deaths all around
He was the clown who made boys frown at Gacy's house it was stinky
He's over the pit as the flames emit the favorite all over town
The hit of the day till you go urinate everyone knows it's stinky

It's stinky, stinky because of all the dead boys
It's stinky, stinky he didn't kill girls only boys

It's stinky, stinky because of all the dead boys
It's stinky, stinky he didn't kill girls only boys
At Gacy's house it was stinky
Everyone knows it's stinky

don't waste your breath with them

this is both true and not

Eldritch even looks good with a beard - what a fox

if the primary media you have consumed in the past month are twitter and podcasts then you don't get to sneer at people for (your perception of their) reading young adult books

Ooh I want to know what that was in response to lol

the latest instance of thousands of people unprovokedly ganging up on to mock what seem like a few perfectly nice people who didn't do anything morally wrong and who just seemed to be talking among themselves for wanting to know beforehand if the book they were reading was going to have a depressing ending

and this is as someone who both reads and writes things with rather bleak endings: who gives a fuck? who is harmed by this? conversely, why is this worth hurting people over, unless you just like hurting people? which more and more it seems most people do

more and more

I think people are just finding new ways to do it; baseline is still the same, more or less.

To look on the bright side, COVID-19 should extend all those projections of the eventual bankruptcy of the Social Security System by quite a few years.

we'll spend a shift in the forthcoming Suck Joe Biden's Dick thread to atone

i don't know if anyone on this board desperately needs to remind everyone their politics are to the right of joe biden every hour of every day
