Seriously.

Lining up rafafactsrant.jpg in anticipation

Gonna guess that "I don't even own a TV" is already succinctly summarized by its title - self-summarizing oven

you should invest a significant portion of your day to reading it carefully

^

I don't even click on a thread

did you teleport in here?

terminal commands?

sudo rm * or whatever is a good one

web forums are basically ovens

dutch?

Some people perceive other people not owning something as an implied slight on them for owning that thing and would prefer them to keep quiet about the whole thing and come up with more palatable answers but never let on that they have made a decision not to own that thing. Its the same on the gun thread too unfortunately

i own a tv but only so i can shoot at it

the gun thread is very different

Thats the thing, i actually have a gun but some of the attitudes in that tv thread towards non-tv owners I was quite taken aback by. I've never thought that way about non-gun owners, I think its a fair enough lifestyle choice to go without!

its not towards non-tv owners it's to owners of the attitude of not owning a tv

its a lifestyle not a lack

i meant the attitude of non gun-owners but i do see where you are coming from

i dont even know where i'm coming from i only know that i am against the proposition as stated

If you own a gun and you don't own a tv, you'll have to explain what you're plotting.

If you live in an a-frame, you go straight to jail.

♩♪♫♬ i'd rather have a telly than a gun
yes i would
if i only could
i surely would ♩♪♫♬

"I don't even own a TV" vs. "I own a gun, but,"

what if my gun has a tv in it

WHAT THEN

You'll ruin yr sight

People are really weird. Some people believe that not having something is an inherently aggressive action, like people are actually "not owning a thing *AT* them".

I would never have thought that a joke thread was worthy of 400+ posts worth of discussion, but I guess some people do. *gr8080 shrug*

If I'd started a joke thread that somehow turned into a long conversation about art, class, technology, social etiquette and the politics of taste I'd be pretty happy tbh

Its not all about you dl

Thread wasnt a clusterfuck obv but sure lookit

i just want to make sure i'm understanding this summary correctly: people are discussing gun ownership in the "i dont even own a tv" thread?

Some people believe that not having something is an inherently aggressive action

Some people perceive other people not owning something as an implied slight on them for owning that thing

what on earth

ah fuck it, forget i said anything

wu-wei, man

yeah.

kali yuga up in here

at this point "i don't even own a tv" just means "i own a laptop" right?

yeah no way I go near that thread but it's interesting how it means something different now than it did 20 years ago

its a lifestyle not a lack

thanks buddies great to hear

have to say i missed it the first time, good stuff

i don't even own a sense of humor

way back in like 1995 we got to do screenprinting in art class this classmate of mine made a t-shirt that was a campy 50's clip-art illustration of two kids laying on the ground, theier heads propped up by their hands, looking at an old television set that had the iconic big brother face on the screen with the caption:

YOU ARE WACTHING
BIG BROTHER

bummed i never got one, it was a great design

YOU ARE WACTHING
BIG BROTHER
ON CBS
