if you're going to make it obvious what you are subposting there is no pt to bumping the second thoughts thread just post it in the original thread

spontaneous beef is a rare commodity nowadays

― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Wednesday, 5 April 2017 20:01 (nine years ago)

most people are savvy enough to not run into beef when the opponent has more pieces attacking the beef square, as is usually the case. manoeuvring for an opportunity can be arduous and you have to have the full measure of the beefee before making the fateful move

I forgot there was a "second thoughts about second thoughts thread" thread so I posted that here anyway.

The above is the text of a post I had second thoughts about posting to the second thoughts thread, in respect of a post I'd posted to the second thoughts thread in response to another post on the second thoughts thread. If only I'd posted my first response here both my subsequent post to the second thoughts thread and this post would not have been necessary and we'd all have saved some time.

It was about bannisters, and balustrades.

I was going to post something like 'I was going to post something like "I wonder what musicians have to do to get a good review on AMG" on the Weinstein thread but it's no joking matter' on the second thought about thread, but it's all too serious and I don't know what offends people anymore.

"just here for the show", as it were.

also i apologize for the level of crass and cynicism in my above postings. not directed at anyone, giggling crazily at myself the whole way. what a world.

The shadow raised its arm, and instinctively Bond took cover. The dart missed him by inches.

Bond drew his Walter and rolled clear. He fired, twice. And a third time just to make sure.

I know who sent you, thought Bond. Besides which that was a very nice couch. Buzzini. The exquisite stitching of the leather was unmistakeable. It would have been a shame to ruin it.

Bond turned to his partner, but it was too late. The dart had struck his little plastic spout. Cheeseoid's robotic eyes were already fading.

"CHEESE", said Cheesoid, struggling to speak. "CHEESE".

"No, you fucking moron", said Bond. "It isn't cheese. Jesus Fucking Christ."

rest well stirmonster.

i'm not saying i'm an average case scenario, but it's kind of cool that even though i never knew him in person, he's yet another example of a guy from glasgow who had nothing but violence and intolerance in his heart for misogyny and alpha male dickhead bullying. keep up the great work, glasgow!

no one has ever seriously argued this

― ivy., Monday, 6 October 2025 15:42 (eight months ago)

if this is about taylor swift then i just want to say that she comes from a tradition (pop-country) where lyrics matter and that was how she distinguished herself from the very beginning her career. ok

― ivy., Monday, 6 October 2025 15:43 (eight months ago)

I would say focusing on music with lyrics has been argued to be rockism, not so much focusing on lyrics maybe apart from that Pitchfork review that criticised the lyrical depth of the words "where's your head at"

― LocalGarda, Monday, 6 October 2025 15:45 (eight months ago)

did she really nick the "where is my mind" chord progression?

For reasons known only unto the userbase of RateYourMusic, The Life of a Showgirl has a score of 1.68/5 over there, which means that it's worse than Iggy Azalea's "Mo Bounce":

One of the reviews, a really big one, is written in the style of a conversation with Taylor Swift.

When uploading albums to Bandcamp the other week I discovered that Hungarian has a diacritical mark I've never seen in any other language; it's like an umlaut except instead of dots it looks like a quotation mark sitting on top of the vowel, like this:

― the banana of evil (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 8 October 2025 22:21 (seven months ago)

i know that from the Erdős number

― budo jeru, Thursday, 9 October 2025 04:58 (seven months ago)

Fascinatingly his dad had two kind of umlaut in his name at different times, because in 1900 he renamed himself from Lajos Engländer to Lajos Erdős.

Presumably Engländer wasn't a fashionable surname in the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the turn of the century.

― Ashley Pomeroy, Thursday, 9 October 2025 19:01 (seven months ago)

this makes me think there surely must be some relation to Sütterlin
