This is the thread where we ask people to dig up things on ILX we can't find

where's that math thread, the one flopson made or posts to

found it, n/m

i'm looking for the thread that was something like 'tell me about 10-yr-old self". my ilx searching ability is shit, can't find it.

What one piece of advice would you give your ten year old self?

thanks, i found that. but the one i'm thinking of has longform descriptive posts rather than advice--there were lots of personal anecdotes, some lovely writing.

Tell me all about 10-year-old you

yes! thank you!

where is Mordy's thread abt marijuana legalization

Rolling Cannabis Politics Thread ?

ty

Some years back somebody (Noodle Vague? Jess?) posted a funny incoherent post about how baffled they were by the LOTR films, full of sputtering nonsense and lotsa ellipses, kinda like "wtf...trees walking?!...I mean...how come no shoes?...wait, who's that guy?...gah!..." etc. on and on for an extended run-on paragraph. Always wanted to find that post (and thread) again, thought it was in the "Why are movies so long?" thread but couldn't find it there.

Help, anybody?

was there a thread for photos of synth dudes (and synth dudettes) posing with their synthesizers? it might have been this - Synth Wizards - but I thought there was one that was purely a picture thread?

photos in this kind of vein:

I don't think there ever was such a thread. maybe you can start one?

prog butts (the tumblr) has some great shots of progdudes and their butts, but it isn't exclusively devoted to synth wizards, and the ilx thread never really took off.

do we have a photos of ancestors thread?

You remember "This is dog" ?

There was a photostrip thing which had captions, from "Dracula" Gary oldman, can't find it

Last time I looked, I found the movie clip instead.

is there a thread for movies with 0 romantic content that aren't kids' movies or documentaries?

idk but maybe you'll find something here

movies where the whole thing is basically just one character getting pwned the whole time

THANK YOU

where's that thread addressing people who say you can't hate best selling books/movies but love pop music?

this one?

Why are there far fewer advocates for popism/poptimism related to art forms OTHER than music?

YES. Thanks.

Can someone link me to that photo of Neil young posing happily alongside some horrible right wing dude

There's only one instance of that!?

ha found it, it was the donald trump picture and yeah, it's pretty common. think i saw it on twitter, not here

guess the film from this still photo

what movie is this still taken from?

thanking u

wasn't there a hummus vs guacamole thread or did i imagine that?

TAKING SIDES: HUMMUS VS. GUACAMOLE

huh why did that not come up when I searched either word, weird. thanks!

1. there was a thread where people were recounting the worst things they'd ever done to another human being. most people posted lameshit like "I cheated on my girlfriend lol", but then someone posted a long gruesome story about how they nearly killed one of their childhood friends by placing an obstruction in front of their bike tire as they rode down a hill.

2. there was a thread where people were recounting their encounters with celebrities. someone claimed to have met Van Morrison in a bathroom, and the stench emanating from Van's stall was so bad that they basically concluded (and several other posters concurred) that Van's life was no longer worth living.

found #2! (but not #1):

I once sat in the next cubicle to Van Morrison as he grunted his way thru a really big shit - anyone whos insides smell that bad must be medically dead.

there was a youtube somebody posted of a remixed version of Rick Perry's announcement speech? probably somewhere on the clown-car thread, but I can't seem to locate it

For all time:

I googled something the other day and one of those dude's faces came up. I almost forgot they were real.

there was a thread where someone posted a great link by some science/tech blogger about why tech guys are so bad at politics or figuring out political solutions, since they try to act like there's some rational middleground between left and right positions ... I have no idea what the thread subject was (tech bros? libertarians? climate change?) and I can't remember the name of the blog.

ring a bell with anyone?

i forget what the thread was but it was a vox article

ah thank you

the argument about South Park's politics made me think of this

definitely similar viewpoints imo

yeah in their case I think the "we make fun of everybody!" defense reinforces a false equivalency

we make fun of everyone, black, white, poor, rich, purple

I used to be poor and purple when I was young!

ugh parker/stone/south park is the worst

a clown car full of millionaires: the 2016 presidential primary thread

can somebody point me towards the thread where people were inventing nonsense platitudes and idioms in the vein of 'he who looks a raven in the eye on a thursday will let Friday's porridge oats go cold'?

make up some fake, inscrutable adages and post them here

thx
