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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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)

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

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.

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.
