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

I'll be over here in my chair, Eddie in my lap, wondering what the educated people are talking about.

i didn't even own a TV then ...

Everybody rise, rise
Rise, rise
Rise, rise
Rise, rise
Rise

sarahell, i hope you received that joke in good spirits. It was a call back to your sondheim post that I enjoyed.

yes, thank you, I got that immediately!

Can’t believe youn is lowering the tone of this thread, now to get back to my regular schedule of posts by Van Horn Street and all the other big political thinkers!

The sniping is unnecessary.

Your return was unnecessary

You are choosing to interact with me. You can choose not to. I haven't said anything remotely controversial in that thread. I'm asking you to either bury the hatchet or leave me alone, feels like this place could do with a little less sniping and anger.

A source close to the investigation tells CBS 2's Sabrina Franza the suspect is in custody after this morning's deadly mass shooting in Highland Park. https://t.co/5L95ggwPCk https://t.co/JE91R9ii41

Whoops sorry wrong thewad

Timely, though

The sniping is unnecessary.

Thank you Luna Schlosser, do make sure to show some concern to youn’s boundaries, assuming you actually care and aren’t still sore about some past interaction.

Lots of maskless octogenarians at my mother’s wake

(someone on another site posted about having to go to jail for dwi and since I'm not American I can maybe guess what that is but I was going to ask...)

Dancing With Intent? Drumming While Inexperienced? Discussion With Inlaws?

(... maybe let's not)

driving while intoxicated ... aka DUI: driving under the influence

doodooing while intubated

wait the snorg girl is running for political office?!

Fuck, there is nothing more tedious than leftier-than-though internet-boy horseshit.

Your posts would qualify.

the best way to persuade me not to do drugs is to do drugs and then spend your trip posting about it to the internet

Kate, I respect your attempts to keep it positive, but you are def not going to get me on board with “actually making fun of the Nazi website is transphobic”

― Whiney G. Weingarten

whiney you're a sweetie, i'm glad you respect my attempts to keep it positive but you make it hard sometimes lol, now i'm like "great now how am i going to do a good-faith reading of whiney's bad-faith reading of my post", shit the whole thought process behind that one line there is _so_ paradoxical and tangled up, like "i love how you keep it positive but i don't appreciate being called a transphobe"? i... what? like it wasn't a "positive" post, i was fairly directly critical of you, but my criticism wasn't that you were "transphobic" it was that your nth-dimensional sarcastic posts come off like you hate yourself just as much as the transphobic self-loathing 4chan teenage trans girls do? i thought i was pretty clear about that, maybe i'm communicating badly or something, i don't want to shit up austin's thread trying to figure out what your whole deal is, like you just pop in and say this really fucked up shit sniping from the sidelines like what you said to unperson there and i try and call you out on it and it's just like, this is just some non sequitur shit here, like, not just regular non sequitur shit, it's genuinely balletic, the way you use words is utterly gorgeous and really fucked up at the same time. i'm like awed and horrified and i'll probably wind up shaking my head and walking away because ultimately it is none of my business, you don't do this shit frequently enough for it to be a big deal, just these innocuous looking misery bombs you toss from time to time.

anyway i guess i'll post this to the subtweet thread because like i say i don't want to shit up austin's thread anymore and probably in a couple months you'll do this shit again, lather, rinse, repeat.

What color is the sky on Planet Thought Experiment?

Not to defend America, but there was at least something not quite so monstrous about the "wet foot dry foot" policy re Cuba

No, you're thinking of the 1975

godd, i used to write like that all the fucking time, anybody remember that? i mean it's fun to just fucking go off like that but i kinda think of that writing style as kind of annoying. it makes me look "wackier" than i actually am.

I’d like to think that people would remember that Milo Y was en masse blackballed by both institutions and the people previously hate-sharing his bullshit and, as a result, the only time we ever hear about him now is when someone says “hey remember when people cared about Milo Y, lol why did we let that happen” but I’m old enough to know better

I'm sorry but you'd be making really exceptional time to leave SF in the morning and get to Milpitas in 49 minutes. ... Granted, if it were to take more than 2 hours, there'd have to have been some accident or something.

insert obligatory ilx bill nelson joke here

I already deleted one

still waiting on a "Running Up That Hill"/"Runnin' Down A Dream" mashup

Good lord, I never even posted on this thread.

I didn't return to another thread because of having posts wildly misread or misrepresented and vast unfounded assumptions being made about me and where I'm coming from. Even if not a misunderstanding but really a disagreement** then still a completely nasty way of sermonising about "me" to the room (oh see how simply perfect thee cis male is and hees need to defend thee actions of thee comedy willy man because that's what all cis men want to see most and want license to do and that's the joke and hee doesn't get it) oh fuck off. I don't blame that person for being so confused and nasty, but are people actually rallying around that shit?

I didn't read it all to be honest and I didn't want to return to see if my no doubt wildly innadequate and possibly innacurate attempt to clarify with as little hostility as I could manage (yes, I had a reaction to being demonised and dehumanised, what hypocrite I have feelings!) was taken in good faith. I AM sensitive to what I think is clear and direct being misread or things being read into / projected on, partly because as an autistic person (undiagnosed except by myself) this is something I've lived with all my life. I can end up second guessing whether I've expressed something properly or wonder if it's fair that it was misread. This is also typically used against us and has been in abusive ways and maybe if I bring up PTSD I know what I'm talking about from personal experience. Or rather, CPTSD. But CPTSD typically doesn't have a single identificable incident, it's a million maddening cuts and tripple binds imposed by people that should be nurturing you. To a very large extent I worked my way out of the "mad" part with pechedlics and what have you (certainly no "professional" help), but trauma lives in the body and that still takes work.

But I don't think I'm that shit at context and there it was being switched on me dishonestly, and I was being told I was talking about things and people I (clearly, obviously as far as I was concerned) wasn't or wouldn't have been. But yes context has layers and can shift and can be approached differently by autistic people and neurotypical people and among people generally to some extent. This feels gaslighty and abusive, and when doubled down on I really have to question it. There is that one poster who does make me thing of narcissitic abuse. Maybe they get away with it by claiming certain marginalised or protected status; we're supposed to be interested in and sensitive to trans exeprience (and I am and try to be), but then maybe when they (singular) say something like "we are a quantum leap in the dick joke" it's not a curious insight or a funny but simply grandiosity. 'I'm really great because of my relationship with my penis. These pathetic cis men wouldn't have the balls to think about having them removed.' Go on tell me that's transphobia. It's not, it's abusive bullying fragile narcissist phobia maybe.

There is possibly quite a lot to say, and maybe I will, maybe it's necessary, but I don't have or want to devote the energy and time necessary to put it into words. Most of you don't know much about me because I don't like to discuss personal stuff much here. And it doesn't exactly feel like there is much regard for my experience, undertandably I'm not close to many posters here, I keep it farily superficial, and also I don't have status as a protected category. Hey, I'm tring to push the autistic thing. C'mon, that must afford me a little bit of consideration as a human being who doesn't have a perfectly easy life and might even be worth trying to hear?

* for some reason I expect better here at least in terms of reasoning ability and generosity in trying to see what people are not talking about, and generally there isn't too much craziness. But I'm not well equipped to deal with people suddenly turning. Then again I'm reminded that a similar "miscommunicatoin" happened before which also resulted in the person bizarrely assuing something was about them and saying it didn't apply to them (so yeah.. then maybe that's a clue that it wasn't?) and some passive aggressive weirdness when I explained it clearly wasn't.

** You really believe that "feeling unsafe" is identical with "being at risk of physical harm" and to say otherwise is heresy. And yes they can be correlated, I'm not a fucking idiot, but that doesn't mean they are the same. And a performance crossing a line into something that is unnaceptable in other contexts (or even in that context for the sake of argument) is also not identical with a present physical risk. And yes there was more to what I was sayng as well but apparently people lose the ability to follow a few very simple steps when they're so incensed by what they imagine they've read. And all situations are "potentialy dangerous". The room I'm sitting in (i.e. my home) is potentially dangerous and would be even if it wasn't for the mold and the possible asbestos and the complete lack of fire exits. This is facile of course, but apprently here we are.

Mainly (or entirely really) I was question the invoking of the notion of "felt unsafety" and the implications of that in relation to art. I wasn't saying ooh they shouldn't have cancelled free speech censorship etc. In a statment by the venue. They used that, do they think this in itself justifies license being withdrawn? They could have said "patrons had reason to believe it was not safe to remain", but that would be to imply or conceded that their venue was unsafe, rather than putting the onus on people's feelings. Maybe it's nothing but I'm sensitive to the language used and that's what it was for me. It's an autistic thing. I wasn't saying that people didn't feel what they felt. Come on for fuck's sake. People haven't demonstrated much will to engage in good faith and respectfully, to say the least.

I hope at least some people could see that and that in some way this drivel lands with them. That's all I hope for. I know expressing anger in this incoherent post isn't likely to achieve much else. I've probably failed to edit out something truly indefensible and beyond the pale in my desire to do something else, and I've definttley not taken the time to make sure everything is qualified to the hilt so it'll be easy for the people who've made up their minds to convince others that I'm invalid and you can FP me off the board. Oh and i mentioned someone who talks about their experience being trans all the time being trans so that's a proper hate crime. Call the cops, rad lefts.

This whole list is like

whatever that mess of self pity and passive aggression was intended to achieve is beyond me but as an autist with a sometimes fractious relationship to these boards I'd really appreciate not being implicated by association tyvm

i did actually killfile thread reviver so i have no idea what it is he said but for the record i'm neurodiverse (autistic/adhd) myself

my least favorite thing about using an old message board is that half the stuff i want to post these days is just memes, but i'm too old and stupid to find links to my favorite memes on the web

anyway here's one i saw recently and appreciated, hope some of you get a kick out of it

the shitty thing about guys who release records with names like "public castration is a good idea" is that, in light of his past behavior, i am legit... let's say _not opposed_ to m. gira being castrated ("public" is taking a bit far, i don't see what the benefit of that is) but do you think that's ever going to actually happen? the hell it is.
