CHRIS BROWN

if they're not actually together again the song is even more distasteful tbh cuz then it really is purely using the abuse narrative to get attention.

zach w/all due respect i think most people itt are v aware of domestic abuse psychology, victim-blaming and so on; rihanna of course has the right to make whatever decision she wants but going out of one's way to defend those (stupid, distasteful) decisions is a different thing. and finding her actions depressing isn't the same as blaming her, much less blaming her instead of CB and the music industry.

if you say so, mr. smarm

dude you post like everything i say is completely straightfaced chillax bro

tbf you post like that as well

^^

I promise that if im calling someone "mr. smarm" i'm not thinking "man I just zinged him but good"

your style is hella jr. high school al

Oh good we haven't had one of these in awhile.

also another thing on rihanna - theoretically i am totally 100% against the idea that pop stars "should" behave like role models. but in practice her actions do have an effect!

In the days following Rihanna's 20/20 interview, calls to the National Domestic Violence Hotline rose by 59% – with the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline seeing a 73% increase.

i mean...that happened. we can handwave away her responsibility as much as we want and we probably shouldn't place any onus on her to behave in any way, but that happened, and as she acknowledged at the time she knew that would happen.

As long as al can still ital posts to imply smug condescension I'm not sure these will ever end

why do they keep returning to this abusive relationship

lol

CM Punk said he was straight edge in that clip, i wonder what sxe bands he likes?

obv Minor Threat

deej i'm obviously just trying to earn my own catchy and cutting nickname like "mr. smarm"

may i suggest "smuggy mcsmuggerson"?

smarm & hammer

lemme smarm it

so my takeaway from this is that if we pull [i] out of the available BBCode, these fights will stop

this is like when jblount would try to son me but didn't realize he didn't disagree w/ me

smarm und drang

the entire subtext of posting mr smarm was that it was obv a lame insult dude

the talented mr. smarm

mr. smarm

that post is a reference to mr. mom

haha i was just trying to figure out to do a mr. mom version of mr. smarm

Keaton's worst movie IMO

mr. mom is a great movie, though; does not compute

yeah this does remind me of how you're totally bulletproof and incapable of being critized or made fun of in your mind

Keaton's worst movie IMO

OH DIP DUDE NOW WE FIGHT *karate chop*

I'M MAD HEATED RIGHT NOW

wait nevermind

i still want to know if more ppl are killed walking home drunk than driving home drunk but

~the world may never know~
/tootsie pop owl

i take back that karate chop dan i'm sorry

the smarm girl looks crazy

i heartily approve of intensely pro-mr. mom sentiment

joe's article on multiple regressions is good but it doesnt actually speak to the issue i was interested in here it just suggests that their attempts to apply statistical analysis could have other variables not taken into acct which i can totally understand, i.e. the diff between rural & city drinkers

but i had never really thought abt the deadly dangers of drunk walking & hit & runs are obv common in some areas based purely on the stats the present up front before even making their argument

did m@tt make a typo when saying DJP or did he use "OH DIP" as an exclamation

I choose to believe the latter

that was how i read it, too

yeah "Oh dip" like an exclamation! i don't take that part back

yeah this does remind me of how you're totally bulletproof and incapable of being critized or made fun of in your mind

no ive clearly been made fun of here before but you literally do just make up shit sometimes, like claiming that i thought nicki minaj was good b/c she was with mizay rather than that just being a name for the era when she was at her best; in general my exp engaging w/ you on ilx is that you sort of presume the worst abt what i 'actually think' like you're constantly trying to bag on me as a dumbass or something & its kind of frustrating to watch personally, like dude, i know everyone's not as smart as you but really, i swear i'm not as stupid as you seem to think i am

but you act so dumb!

no, you presume the stupidest possible interpretation every single time

and get off your high horse sometimes jesus

it's funny how i can be as juvenile and mean as i want and you still think i'm being "superior"

like, nothing about 'mizay-era minaj' is dumb! its just a description of a period of her career! and you decided to read into that that i was somehow the only person on earth who associated musical output with management

which 1st off is totally untrue -- lots of people do & i'm sure there are cases where management did have an effect, but

2nd, i never made any causation argument there anyway, just observed that this was when her music was best to me.

its like u just want to beat up on me out of boredom or something which, lol ilx, but im letting you know right here that its kind of annoying
