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

it's like, rolling 24 hour news already exists and is free my dudes

There are plenty of other things that thread could be better used for such as:

a) Posting Reddit meme-standard content about Ukrainians doing sassy acts of defiance that subsequently turn out to be from six years ago or depicting a known Nazi oh uh hold up
b) posting threads from American Twitter users nobody has ever heard of dropping science about how Putin will have to imminently withdraw in the next week oh uh hold up
c) wildly veering from b) to imminent nuclear annihilation doomposting oh uh hold up
d) ShariVari posts - ok this one can stay

e) “And here’s how this relates to the 2024 election”

I posted on the thread itself that I keep seeing these breathless OMG posts on stuff I'd seen on the BBC news two days ago. Which makes me wonder what they're actually showing on the news in the US.

You see those posts because most people on the thread have no idea of commentary beyond speculation and yet still feel the need to keep on posting.

maybe they should go back to rolling hipster studies

wait isn't that an ad hom argument?

How dare u

Fwiw I try to FP you every chance I get

it's a place with strict community guidelines to which you must adhere. it's called slack. I can't post in the thread anymore, but I'm sorry, blooz doodz.

who'll start selling ILX NFTs with access to the exclusive Discord?

Borad Apes are about to go through the roof.

FP Tokens, spend them to make your FPs count 5X

You guys are in luck because I’m turning the best Slack posts into a book

you won't make a cent on publishing, but the $15k per gig speaking fees will follow.

was he the one who pranked you about hipster puppies?

on the other hand, we lost Walter Matthau 22 years ago

poking fun at people worried about "offsite coordinated bullying" will make one seem like Xzibit for message board bullying fans

and taking the worst depiction of what's done and posing it as ridiculous is a good catalyst for rationalization. I definitely overreacted on partial information, and I'm sorry for doing so, but we shouldn't whitewash everything now with some Roman Roy clowning.

I’ve used this thread from time to time but have come to the recent opinion that things should either be said in the intended thread or not at all. Not directing this to you, Sufjan.

almost wish you had done move over GAPDY, now there's (PBKR) with the letters standing for something like

Phoebe Bridgers Big Thief Khruangbin l'Rain

if Portishead, Kendrick and Radiohead drop this year then that would in fact be ILM's top 4

That would have been great. I’m not that creative though.

I am threadbanned from the intended thread.

you are threadbanned from Call out ILXors you don't enjoy to their face right here then, come on, let's have it ?

again: if you post about the slack issue to the Admin Log 2 thread, these are the things that could happen

1. polite reminder to post about it in the ILE thread and stop discussing it on Admin Log 2
2. yellowcard with polite suggestion to stop discussing it on Admin Log 2
3. threadban
4. clowning about drowning
5. profit

my posts here were in response to posts on the Admin Log 2, so I don't believe they belong on NV's thread. it's true that the post I responded to could use that link. perhaps your post is indeed a reference for those still posting in that thread? if we get 15 more options we can make a magic mod-ball.

many other posters seemed capable of moving the discussion to NV's thread. it in fact successfully moved there, and there were multiple responses to posts that were on the other thread. A few people who were new to the clusterfuck, posted to the Admin Log 2 thread, and they were very mature and understanding, when me and emil.y both explained the situation. I'm not sure why you feel you can't join the conversation on the ILE thread?

I don't know you well at all, SG, so I don't want to be an asshole (WGW and I go way back and we can joke about certain things and feel comfortable about boundaries) and let you back into that thread, only to find that you are making posts that are stirring the pot, and I am forced to be punitive, because I set boundaries and you tested/crossed them.

I don't think you are being an asshole at all, but you threadbanned me 12 hours before the boundaries you've posted were defined.

i threadbanned you for stirring shit, then i went to sleep, then more people stirred the same shit, then i woke up, then i set the boundaries

you just happened to be the beta tester of my boundaries before they were properly released

before you decided to

*shades*

graft on the boundaries

at least i didn't grift on the boundaries *lolz*

look

we are living in a material world

and i'm no duelist, so let's end this senseless banning

i unbanned you

<3

thank you. I will behave myself, mostly via not getting Saturday drunk on a Tuesday.

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

Honkin' on Boboscar

this is a less exciting light signaling technological glitch, but it seems like the sensor-driven traffic light programming at the intersection near my house reverts to an older program sometimes.

for the first 10 years i lived there, at one point there were two left turn lanes (to get on the road that takes you to the freeway) and one lane going straight.

this was when my street was an unremarkable residential street and there wasn't a large bougie supermarket on the corner.

the traffic signals at that point had sensors such that the left turn signal would activate if your vehicle was in the two left lanes.

when the bougie supermarket went in, only the leftmost of the three lanes remained a left turn lane, and the middle lane went from being a left turn lane into a lane that goes straight. now, if you are in far left lane, you will get a left turn signal; if you are in the middle and right lane, you will get a green to go straight. This is as it should be.

However, at various points in time the signaling system must encounter an error and revert to its earlier programming, where if you are in the middle lane -- now a lane that goes straight -- and there aren't any cars in the right lane -- which has always been a lane that goes straight -- you will get a left turn signal, but not a green to go straight. in other words, you will sit at that intersection waiting for the light to turn green such that you can go straight and the light will not turn green (because it thinks you are in a left turn only lane) -- until a car pulls up in the right lane.

depending on the time of day, you could be waiting numerous cycles for a car to pull up in the right lane and be released from the Beckett-esque traffic signal. sometimes cars will just run the light because they feel like it should have been their turn already. I have found that the way to get a green light when the old traffic signal program kicks in is to put your car in reverse, back up for a few seconds, then pull into the right lane, and then the light will turn green the next cycle.

Through the '80s, the earnestness/seriousness became their schtick, and came across as slickly (and arguably cynically) choreographed as anything by "pop" artists that some U2 fans dismissed as lightweight (There's probably a parallel between '60s Doors fans and '80s U2 fans, eschewing the Monkees/Madonna in favor of the Deep Meaningful Music of the Doors/U2). Even fans found Rattle & Hum (the movie mostly, but parts of the record) insufferable, so no matter how cringey the humor on the ZooTV tour was, it was a welcome relief from "we're stealin' it back!"

Gentlemen, gentlemen - there's no fighting in the war thread!

You're either a troll or a cunt but you've been here for far too long for the former so it must be the latter.

can totally hear that in Bono's voice tbh

I believe swearing gets posters banned.

first line of The A-posters' Creed?

that's Mr. Apollo to you, fool

Robberbandits: I've a (dead) empire outside

I said, "Fuck the vulgar Marxists, I've a tank outside
Fuck the Leninists, I have a tank outside
And fuck the working class, I've a tank outside
You're being taken for a ride, I've a tank outside
They said, "We don't believe you"
I said, "It's fuckin' true
Swapped communism for capital in 1992"
I don't need an empire, I just need more livin' space
And if you try to cramp my style, I'll shoot you in the face
"I don't need no facts - I own TV
You'll invade in style if you side with me"
And the soldiers ridin' over, their red flag flying high
I look the fuckers up and down and send them off to die
