Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

people who hear "yanny"

People who engage in any form of blue dress/gold dress online viral bullshit, I am (mostly) silently judging you and finding you infra digital.

Yeah, fuck people for engaging in anything, right?

That’s not what I said but go right ahead and misunderstand me, it will bring you some kind of temporary fulfilment.

suzy, I am not sure I agree that viral bandwagon stuff is harmful, but "infra digital" is a really deft coinage. You have my undying respect just for that.

Suzy otm, also see my post today on Ideas for ILX

I mean, if people want to post a list of acceptable viral topics for discussion and those that aren't, that'd be helpful. Or just continue silently judging people for daring to take a modicum of interest in something beneath you and reveal yourself to be an asshole. Whatever works.

That's more pissy that I wanted to be, but I sincerely don't understand people who can't just look at something online, think "boy this is dumb, I don't get it and can't for the life of me understand why people would bother" and simply move on. Instead they have to demonstrably proclaim their superiority by refusing to engage. It's dumb and I just don't get it.

argh, my wording got completely butchered in that post. "demonstrably proclaim their superiority for not engaging" is closer to what I meant.

i'm not too interested in the laurel/yanni phenomenon, but ppl loudly tut-tutting about how they're above it and everyone else is dumb are about as cool and likable as the "oooh sports ball" crowd.

This is the Disgusting Savages thread, where we have a safe space to post about occasional common irritants and things on the internet that mark out some of our fellow humans as basic bitches, so I’m sorry you feel impugned by my post (but I’m not gonna waste another second of my life on shit that gets shared by all the people we know on FB who use Minions as avatars for their emotions).

As we say over in Scarfolk, for more information please re-read.

And that post confirms my suspicion that you are an absolutely terrible human being and I feel worse of for engaging with you in the first place.

I mean, fucking come one. People that like stuff I don't are "basic bitches". Fuck outta here with that.

*worse off

*come on

Yeah I slipped when typing, guess I'm just a dumb fucking hillbilly with a Minion avatar? Right? Am I doing this correctly?

posted this on facebook. but anyone who makes one of these cover versions is on my savages hate list:

"I got aggravated watching The Leftovers when I heard that sad and pathetic cover of "You're The One That I Want". That guy who did the sad and pathetic cover of "Mad World" by Tears For Fears has a LOT to answer for. You can make any song with words sad and pathetic! The cheapest of tricks."

Today I stood for three minutes behind a man trying to use one of the devices pictured below by repeatedly shoving his credit card into the slot meant for paper money. After I told him he needed to use the other slot, he proceeded to continue doing it wrong for another two minutes but just putting his card in but not pulling it out to swipe.

people who get into a revolving door behind you and speed it up

"i wd wear sandals all the time if i could get away with it"

this p much describes me, 6 months out of the year, and i love it and i only recently was made aware that many consider it disgusting and/or savage.

ok I fully agree with suzy in this regard:

This is the Disgusting Savages thread, where we have a safe space to post about occasional common irritants

...while noting that its mission statement overlaps somewhat with the various "Irrationally Angry" threads and with "Words, usages, and phrases that annoy the shit out of you."

Sandals are not the same thing as flip-flops.

oh ok. i wear flip-flops

this shit on other people's typos

*worse off

^^ says the guy judging someone for loudly judging silent judgers, what is this a christopher nolan movie

IS THIS DUNKIRK I AS KYOU

people wearing flipflops in a library need harsh guidance (out of the library).

lorols at all this

I still wanna hear sad and slow covers of "Cars" and "I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper", but unless you are like Nick Drake or maybe Low/RHP level magicians of sadness & slowness I don't want just some plodding acoustic bullshit, I want like dubby filtering and skittering delays and stuff going on too, feel the epic frozen emptiness of space (or Gary Numan's head)

just a note to humanity there

everybody who isn't Liz Harris step away from the guitar basically

At first I heard "Laurel" but now all I can hear in my head is the disgusting savage sound of flip flops.

what in the hell is happening itt today

ohh I forgot about Liz Harris but yes, that would be p. much perfect

If a poster uses this thread to ~get personal~ about another poster’s citation of disgusting savagery, eg. calling another poster an asshole, particularly when the citation is calling out an annoying trend and not an individual, that poster ought to craft a single response I can’t clown for any reason. At any rate, I don’t think half a dozen angry-boy tantrum posts directed at me should go unremarked or uncorrected, because anyone would want a right of reply in that situation.

Here endeth the lesson.

My yoga teacher loves herself a mopey acoustic cover of famous pop songs. There was one time when the music she played in class was 100% this, it was hell. Luckily she's dialed it back somewhat. But seriously why are there sad acoustic versions of songs like Billie Jean, Let's Dance, or One Way Or Another?

i believe it was evelyn beatrice hall who said "i disapprove of your method of asterisking and correcting typos itt but i will defend to the death your right to square up against petulant ilx posts"

i was freaking maria out the other day by singing Foreigner songs in that slow creepycrawly sad quavery whisper way that a lot of those cover songs employ. "juuuuuuukebooooooox heeeero...."

this commercial pops up all the time when we are watching hulu and we all scream when it comes on. blahhhh.

yah jon calm the f down also its laurel

Eh, I'm totally calm, just kicking myself for engaging with someone that has such a condescending attitude. Yeah, clearly I misread the spirit of this thread and the original post was well within bounds. In that spirit, I still reserve the right to think less of someone for doubling down on the condescending tone and sweeping generalizations.

all songs should be sad acoustic covers

"Disgusting Savages" thread delivers!

hahaha

suzy should just carry on and live laugh love more

The people who gather contact info for not for profits on the sidewalk who actively try and insert themselves in your path

If by ‘engaging’ you mean fitting me up as a strawman for the eleventy-billionth time despite the fact that it never, ever ends well for you when you single me out in this way, sure. Don’t stop believing. Although I do find it a bit weird that you only come for female posters with accusations of condescension, and that whenever this happens it speaks to a kind of self-hater’s narcissism in that you’re trying to centre yourself as some kind of victim of a criticism that genuinely wasn’t about you.

Do we have a Lovely Personages thread?
