eating soap in a motel 6 is the ultimate staycation detox event

weird, this morning a guy sitting next to me in the subway said the same thing, unprompted
I nodded
― Evan, Thursday, 15 September 2022 19:20 (one year ago) link
that guy was just hoping you'd respond with something related to cilantro. because his cilantro story is incredibly good
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 15 September 2022 19:24 (one year ago) link
everywhere he goes, he contrives new reasons to talk about soap, which is of course just the bait for his cilantro story
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 15 September 2022 19:26 (one year ago) link
what if cilantro DOES taste like soap and some ppl just don’t have the soap receptors, poor suckers

Isn't that how asparagus pee works?

I don't believe cilantro has a different taste to different people, I just think some people are not willing to expand their horizons to be adventurous about taste
― Dan S, Friday, 16 September 2022 02:48 (one year ago) link
as someone who dislikes cilantro despite not being genetically predisposed against it: fuck off
― mookieproof, Friday, 16 September 2022 02:51 (one year ago) link
omg will these troglodytes ever become adventurous? will they agree to love things they dislike?

if it truly tastes like soap, let the soap taster cake themselves in mud and then wash themselves clean with only one bunch of cilantro.

Fwiw you were doing a very tankie thing— waving away Chinese fascism and oppression in the service of attacking US goals that are anti-China. I merely pointed out that you can be against Chinese intrusion into Taiwan and also be against US policy goals in China.

i have a sincere request
can we please not relitigate this whole thing
i grant the point that it is entirely possible, though by no means certain, that milo z is a tankie
just to be on the safe side, please nobody give milo z any tanks
― Kate (rushomancy), Friday, 23 September 2022 23:08 (one year ago) link
xp Sorry Kate, I'm much slower on the uptake than I used to be.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 23 September 2022 23:09 (one year ago) link
no worries, personally i think there are upsides to my being slower than i used to be. taking one's time is a good thing, but i wouldn't ever do it if i wasn't so old now that i don't really have a choice in the matter!

That didn't happen, though. Here's what I actually said before viborg called me a tankie, to refresh your memory: "Heightening tensions with China is so fucking stupid." "Anti-imperialism is when you threaten war on the (other) side of the world on behalf of your client state."

I don’t want to call anyone “shitass”, but I do want to enquire about why people who can’t follow basic TV plot points watch so fucking much of it.

How is any of this relevant to the fact that Shohei Ohtani deserves to be MVP? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd rather listen to DMB than Pavement or Modest Mouse, any day of the week. At least getting stoned with a bunch of dumb jock hippies is hot and fun instead of a bummer of old bongwater and PBR.

Perhaps mods could change the thread name to "Novelists No One Reads Anymore (EXCEPT GINORMOUS DORKS)"
Which would effectively be all novelists, because only ginormous dorks read novels anymore

You could just as well have posted that on the original thread. Except maybe then some mod might have taken it seriously so probably better this way.

alternately, [dead male rockstar] may consider whether he might possibly benefit from confronting his own misogyny, given that he seems to view his own "thwarted, sensitive" , "too wounded to be threatening" traits as evidence of womanhood
