My perspective is that deej finds more moral ambiguity and nuance in the situation than anyone else including me does. He trusts his judgment on that and everyone else including me finds his judgment faulty and the situation morally unambiguous. It seems that to deej the word "horny" doesn't carry the same weight of derision that it does for most of us including me. He seems to view it as descriptive, but not especially demeaning. I disagree. He seems to believe that the author could validly choose that word, within the context where it was used. No one else (including me)agrees with him that the context justified that choice no matter how it is looked at.I happen to stand with the ilx majority rather than with deej. But I do understand the general frustration of someone in his position. /Haha/glad you can laugh, but it really would be better for you to stop digging your hole deeper

i did it indoors tho cos it was pissing down outside i think
i was on Facebook a lot
any of this is too much on the "add a pinch of dogshit to a chocolate sundae and you have a dogshit sundae" principle

it's the companionship, you see, or at least the sense of imagined companionship

yo dawg i heard you like clusterfucks so I put a clusterfuck in your summary corner so you can clusterfuck while you summarize.

Might take up pottery, seems more fulfilling than considering women as human beings

might go outside and see if it's still pissing down with rain and dark and Hull

wins, you should definitely take up pottery; it's very calming haven't flown a kite in a long time but it is a good idea

I'm sure ur right but I'm not sure if I'm ready to give up the other things, will try to find out if there's a way to do both. Wouldn't want to waste a weekend

you could maybe give up fatuous rhetoric; that's a real time waster

idk man let's start from a baseline of any online argument is a waste of precious time better spent watching 50 shit TV shows going outside
Even so you have expended enough energy to write a couple of paragraphs itt on how we shouldn't be posting itt, why not give us one paragraph explaining why the reduction of rape victims to "horny moms" is so unworthy of our attention

I'm not trolling btw, nor am I all hot under the collar as you imagined earlier. I didn't post in that other thread over the weekend cause as it happens I live in the uk where we have tabloids that are routinely just as shitty to rape victims as gawker were in this case, and for my own sanity I don't waste my time giving them any attention other than a brief "ugh" when they cross my path (I don't scold other ppl for being bothered tho). I came into this thread cause I was mildly irritated with deej's naked stupidity, which I think is a better fit for this thread tbh
― piqued (wins), Sunday, 19 April 2015 21:43 (nine years ago) link
unless your point was solely that it is a terrible waste of going-outside time talking about this on the wrong thread, in which case I guess a man has to have a code
― piqued (wins), Sunday, 19 April 2015 21:47 (nine years ago) link
my code is: clusterfuck summary thread is not for the continuation of clusterfucks that are better quarantined, it's a DMZ to summarize for people who want to stay away from the fray. you track mud all over the floor, don't be surprised when you're told to go outside.my other code is: i like turtles. my third code is: i tend not to imagine people i don't know personally on ilx as "hot under the collar" or otherwise, especially mythical "uk"ers; come on that's not a real place
― Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 19 April 2015 22:03 (nine years ago) link
well why didn't you say in the first place! those are all fair enough, if nothing to do with weekends or weather so you'll forgive my misunderstanding
