who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 21:43 (seven years ago) link

I look at my parents and they just keep getting better with age, like really good wine. They get funnier, sometimes more aggressive but in a funny way… I think 30 is going to be fun.

so glad vice is fighting like fuck to give a voice to this in trump's america

it's been a while since I saw jerry maguire but iirc basically he wakes up hungover after writing the mission statement and realises he'd rather continue being a cunt after all

I think whiskey is one of those things that people really get into when they get older, like beer-
I'm also into beer.

Or coffee.
And coffee.

Well, you just love everything!

Everyone knows that music has charms to soothe a savage breast, but few have read the rest of William Congreve’s line, which claims it can also “soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak,” and so, in these times of breast-beating savagery, heads full of stones, and tangles in desperate need of unknotting (times to try men’s and women’s souls, one might say), there is still a vital place for music in our lives. And so, here are my picks for the 10 best jazz albums of 2016, followed by the year’s four best previously unissued old treasures.

why did you censor the word faggot in your post like we don't know what word you were using...

J0rdan S., Monday, 19 December 2016 17:19 (seven years ago) link

the post was penned to create the illusion of an idiotic hick (also note the intentional mispelling), but the irl whiney didn't want to risk an ironic slur being irl triggering

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 19 December 2016 17:21 (seven years ago) link

the practice of typing an asterisk in the place of one vowel when typing a slur doesn't originate with whiney tbf, it's a baffling practice to me but that's for another time mebbe

"phew, with an i/a in it that word might be triggering!"

forgive me fader for I have sinned (wins), Monday, 19 December 2016 17:24 (seven years ago) link

language is changing, and the inalienable right to type a misspelled homophobic slur in all its glory is not exactly a hill worth dying on

(as i have said before)

Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 19 December 2016 17:28 (seven years ago) link

then why did you type it

J0rdan S., Monday, 19 December 2016 17:29 (seven years ago) link

well, the irl wins would err on the side of not typing ironic slurs in the 1st place

i honestly toyed with the phrasing of the post to find the right combo of "ignorant disdain for coastal elites" to juxtapose with "having opinions on william congreve" and I couldn't find something that was as concisely effective at conveying ignorance as misspelling a homophobic slur

i sound like LJ now

i'm not sure why whiney doesn't just stick with "diaper drinkers", because he's never going to top that in or out of character

[adds 'triggering' to list of words that now instantly give me a headache when I read them]

let's just say it's become a problematic word for me
