threads are cheap these days

most are brittle and prone to fraying and unravelling

Argh, sorry that video wasn't quite right and couldn't find a proper one, sorry.

just off the top of my head (too much time on ilx, please kill me), not as bad as

- the "irrationally angry" threads
- those recent threads polling "most embarrassing overpraise of [x] album"
- the one about chicago dyeing lake michigan green
- the one about leggings/"foofy" boots

I'm glad tastes differ because I'd take almost any of those over "the top X of Y" ILM threads that are cataloguing every musical artist ever

Politically correct song titles is sure to be the worst this year.

Kukos, Skottso!

those over "the top X of Y" ILM threads that are cataloguing every musical artist ever

pretty angry steampunk eh, thread starter? don't get upset. it's only the internet! it's not even a steamcon message board. your friends won't know..

Planking rules imo, but I think space ghost is funny and should probably be sent to some kind of work camp

I accidentally bookmarked and was clicking on the "real" thread for a while instead of this superior parody thread.

four months pass...

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

what is the point of this thread. why do people post in it all the time.

na (NA), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:14 (seven years ago) link

you can't possibly feel satisfied when you post your mean post in that thread instead of in the thread where you want to put it

na (NA), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:16 (seven years ago) link

Because people had second thoughts about posts and decided not to post them, so they post them there? Xp

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:16 (seven years ago) link

it's like writing a note that you're going to burn or throw away, then posting it on the refrigerator in the break room

mh 😏, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:18 (seven years ago) link

Yeah, or biting your tongue in company and holding your disgust to yourself, untill you are finally alone and can belt it out.

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:19 (seven years ago) link

except you're not alone. you're in a public space where everyone can hear you and basically knows what you're saying and who you're saying it to even though it's out of context.

na (NA), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:20 (seven years ago) link

I must not be reading the threads ppl are reacting to so it's some dadaist nightmare

mh 😏, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:23 (seven years ago) link

Same. I'm not going to the trouble of reading who didn't say something to whom but is saying it on that thread. I already have no life. Said thread is a stream of consciousness imho.

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:25 (seven years ago) link

OK, NA, what is my latest post there obviously referring to?

illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:26 (seven years ago) link

something on the experimental thread, the subtext being you're still mad about it not being time travel

na (NA), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:30 (seven years ago) link

lol you're right (although the subtext is wrong - i've even said already that i won't miss time travel and have started a thread for poppier weird stuff as opposed to the dull interminable stuff that usually got posted to time travel)

illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:34 (seven years ago) link

posted to 'second thought' because i don't want to shit up the experimental thread with typical opprobrium

illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:37 (seven years ago) link

80% of ilx posts in general still make no sense to me. Something comforting about NA asking questions about what something here means, as it always seemed like nobody else was also in constant state of semi-confusion.

Evan, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:41 (seven years ago) link

oh look, 'names for different types of farts by their physical sensation' has been bumped. real enemy here, NA

illbient microtonal poetry Surbiton (imago), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 21:09 (seven years ago) link

don't worry, i hate lots of threads

na (NA), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 21:28 (seven years ago) link

I wish I had never started that thread.

how's life, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 22:57 (seven years ago) link

"posted to 'second thought' because i don't want to shit up the experimental thread with typical opprobrium"

YEAH YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO DO THAT.

scott seward, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 00:27 (seven years ago) link

wait, i meant to post that on the second thoughts thread...
