Clusterfuck Summary Corner 2 - Back on the Corner

oh right that orientmammal guy. idk if he did anything really bannable on that thread. granted he had stupid opinions but

xp

didn't he get 51ed?

yup

and he was banned more for feelings lingering from his previous incarnation probably more than what he said now.

I thought my opinion on the conservative opinions thread was reasonably conservative!

meanwhile we have somehow wound up on "what is a RIFF" debate on the Jimmy Page thread

Recent decades in the USA have seen a drift in the meaning of "conservative opinions" to where it is almost synonymous with either "batshit crazy ideas" or else "sycophancy to the rich and powerful". This has made it harder for educated Americans to embrace "conservative opinions".

i still don't really get why people were mad in the creepy liberal thread. i tried to read it but it makes me sleepy.

Meantime, the Led Zeppelin/downward arc thread turned into an extended back and forth on what is a lick vs what is a riff and my head hurts.

"meanwhile we have somehow wound up on "what is a RIFF" debate on the Jimmy Page thread"

ILM is a total waste of time. #controversial

But...what is a riff

ILE is fine though. especially now that ned is holding our hand on the trump thread. we need support in these trying times.

What is a riff and how do I know if I'm playing one?

If you have to ask, well, maybe you'll actually know.

all we do on ilx is riff

we the best man

always the best man, never the groom

When is a riff really just riff raff?

A lick is more intimate than a riff and therefore requires consent before headbangers ball.

controversial opinion: led zep are total unmitigated shit and unrepentant sexual predators to boot

You know a riff when you hear one. Check this riff:

*riffs hard*

led zeppelin is a fine classic rock band but ultimately ignorable imo

are you trying to cause a clusterfuck in this clusterfuck thread, cos that's so 2011

led zep released 'd'yer maker', your argument is invalid

"controversial opinion: led zep are total unmitigated shit and unrepentant sexual predators to boot"

that's not even controversial

I used to not care about Led Zeppelin, now I wonder what the heck was wrong with me

amazing they invented Sublime decades early with d'yer

Matt Taibbi thread?

Just a rehash of the Russia thread, the last six US politics threads, etc.

Mostly a rehash of Freddy B vs Morbs tbh

Thought it'd be the last thread standing but.. Men's clothing thread :-(

not a cluster

a little testiness about vibes on the thread and now lots of talk about laundry and personal grooming, as there should be

Getting dressed is really hard.

we're here 4 u

men seriously discussing ring around the collar is pretty hilarious

Ta-Nehisi Coates Rules, The Thread?

Danesplaining round 3,102

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, genuine clusterfucks, naked...

Writer pushes buttons

sub twitter debating rip ilx

the real reason its a clusterfuck is that a substantial portion of the left has gone from blindly praising Coates to considering what he's actually arguing for & is not sure it likes it

oh good u decided your opinions4you were too good to confine to that thread

oh good, you're being a condescending jackass

the theater of pretending you're smarter than everyone you talk to must get old at some point right

just keep your generic second-rate hack bullshit off the meta thread and i won't condescend to you. you have entire threads on ilx to peddle your brainless twitter hot take bullshit.

In all honesty, it really does not x-post

just keep your generic second-rate hack bullshit off the meta thread and i won't condescend to you. you have entire threads on ilx to peddle your brainless twitter hot take bullshit.

'second rate hack bullshit' lol you're a fucking message board pseud

D-40 is OTM about that thread. It's transparently obvious, both in the way that people are grasping for criticism of Coates' most recent essay and the way Joy Reid's article that made the exact same fucking points in the context of a slightly different argument and everyone who decided to comment ridiculed it for either being too obvious an argument to bother making or too classist towards poor white people, to which I say fuck your tacit support of white supremacy and look in a fucking mirror, assholes.
