good sport

hot take: generational markers stopped mattering after the internet

Ever yawn so hard you feel like you might have dislocated your jaw?

I mean, if it's any consolation, you have the opinions of a 21-year-old.

ageist!

I talked to John Porcellino on the phone when I was 13

…money plane.

where is the outrage

a little bit of Kamala by his side
a little bit of Keisha to fill him with pride
a little bit of Susan as vice prez
a little bit of Liz for when he's on a rez
a little bit of Stacey all night long
a little bit of Tammy also in this song
a little bit of Gretchen for the midwest fans
a little bit of Michelle makes Joe your man

this is the content i crave

must admit that if i wrote a piece as embarrassing as caramanica's i still wouldn't want to be harassed about it

His entire career to date is proof that he lacks the gland that produces embarrassment.

considering you only climb out of your well a couple times a year to make ongoing conversations about you and accuse people of hating you I'm not sure why you expected this time would be any different

Lol sad that i guessed correctly who that was intended for

😗🎵

could you change places maybe?

I liked Caramanica's review. It summed up a lot of what disappoints me about folklore, and after all the raves I've been reading, it was a relief to know I'm not the only one who hears it that way.

Now imagine expending all that analytical effort on something else.

Absolutely stunned this discussion somehow got worse

literally have no idea why i post here anymore

<3

think i'll just devote my time to reasonably engaging with transphobes so they dont' get radicalized further

:(

Aw man Brad, your Hum and (unexpected) Phish contributions have been inspiring lately.

fwiw brad i appreciate your presence esp. on the lgbtq thread.

i am barely on the lgbtq thread! maybe that's part of the problem

think i'll just devote my time to reasonably engaging with transphobes so they dont' get radicalized further

maybe more of ilx needs to learn the economic equivalent of "how to properly install and vent a water heater" ... maybe y'all just pretend you don't know for fun ...

fwiw get fucked Brad, calling Branwell a transphobe is a new low for you.

That’s really out of line, that is not remotely the post being referred to.

What's all this about?

Andrew screw off

“New low” for brad, the gall

this poster popping up to make threads about them and bring truscum discourse into 2020 is a noxious pattern and I can't believe anyone's falling for it as a valuable contribution

a new low!!! wow!!!!!!!

That’s really out of line, that is not remotely the post being referred to.

If I've got it wrong, I sincerely apologise, I do fuck up sometimes - what is the post then?

Pretty sure I've got silby's number, though?

6?

i would never call branwell a transphobe but i would broadly call people who hold the views of "terf"s... transphobes. i agree the word "terf" sucks and no one likes being called one, golly what a surprise. i think the focus on gender assignation is a genuinely negative thing for trans discourse and it happens literally all the time with this specific poster so i was frustrated. i am frustrated by people genuinely rising to the defense of this poster, who, maybe more than any of us, has a fucking History on this board, but sure, they're the reasonable one, and i am the difficult person who is sinking to new lows

also it is not impossible for trans ppl to hold anti-trans views. fuckin obviously

the high tolerance this board has for toxic ass people based on like, their tenure here, or their contribution to the discourse bc they write in full paragraphs, is fuckin noxious and i'm guessing it's why a lot of people leave?????

otm

If I've got it wrong, I sincerely apologise

And I have - sorry Brad. I am a fucking idiot.

xpost - more than most, I have a History with Branwell, but they've been one of the more valuable posters here, even discounting the amount of shit they get every time they pop up. Not that I'm trying to convert you to this view! Sorry again.

listen, thank you for apologizing andrew, but you're not a fucking idiot, because of the degree of pushback on some level i suspect i am being a fucking asshole, and i think that means i'm not getting anything valuable out of posting on this board anymore

does this mean the apocalypse is cancelled?
