Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

I've got two, namely

That Doom feature in Wax Poetics was interesting. He was all like, "I'm just a regular guy

which I thought was too boring to post, and

GOD CUTTY WHY DON'T YOU QUIT

which was supposed to be a funny post on the lose weight thread, but I thought it might be interpreted as serious.

I keep deleting my posts before I post them!

yeah they're mostly me telling people off and i'm not going to post them here--i just write them out to feel better and then delete

I have posts I have second thoughts about posting in a posts you decided not to post thread!

Oh, you should post them here.

"#^&*$$%&*"

out of context: "searches for 'crepey' and 'ban' have provided me more than enough fodder"

now I'm having second thoughts about posting that ...

this is the turd (this is the turd) that the lord hath made (that the lord hath made)
i will rejoice (i will rejoice) and be glad in it (and be glad in it)

and imagine fozzy bear singing the parentheticals.

That phrase is interesting because it adjusts the emphasis so the sentence is more iambic. But it would have to because

I think I have second thoughts more than actual posts. I keep closing my window.

Ew!

Dammit, I did not need to see that.

Just realized there's a typo on the thread title.

Which is fitting.

Maybe, I've got no speakers hooked up right now.

I think you're all naive.

Timing of joke off. And

Doesn't seem passive aggressive.

i was gonna post on that glenn beck thread that i wished glenn beck would die, but then i kept thinking about how mean that is. plus, i may have already posted that on the glenn beck thread in the past.

I'm about to call my mother to ask her about Glenn Beck. I know she has his Christmas book, but I just want to know. She's a smart lady.

I was gonna post on the '"500 Days of Summer" thread that I thought it would make a good back story for Cobra Commander, but I didn't feel like searching for the thread, coz what if someone already made the comment? I'd have to do 'edit' 'find' 'cobra', and display all posts. So, I posted it on facebook anyway.

I bet no one made that joke, but, wait, are they both played by the same actor or something? Because if so, maybe someone did.

As ilxors we should just collectively stop discussing hype.

Why does this old thread consistently make it onto most read threads?

although my "plus" would have been, "that would just make him a martyr for assholes."

If this becomes a thread connection, I will probably not post it

I have been thinking it is October for a few days now.

why is that thread constantly in the most read threads list?

I don't know? It's got a woman in the title, but it's two years old and the reads are on-site reads. It doesn't make sense. The simpsons porn one only partly makes sense, but a lot of those reads are site reads too. Wait, I get that one, because it persists because of the most read threads page working in concert with google hits. But the other one with the girl I just don't get, unless it's a lesser version of the same phenomenon.

i just wonder if it's some quirk in the system. it's always there.

Those famous Unabomber types

oh, this is actually not a thread about the suggest ban system

I have had it up to here waiting for the Fingerhut catalogue to be remastered.

Fact: www.dhmo.org is a website dedicated to that stupid joke your chemistry teacher makes in high school about dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) being the most abundant, potentially dangerous chemical in the world.

Fact: according to double top-secret web analytics I saw for epa.g0v today, the number two referrer to EPA's website in the past 3 months was www.dhmo.org, and it's been in the top 5 for the past year.

i wish this thread was locked because i totally feel like this now.

like what

xp - like the subject of a thread i had second thoughts about posting on that was a serious clusterfuck.

I always have to stop myself going onto thread about bands I don't like to slag them off, as that wouldn't be doing anyone any good.

yeah - i hear you on that one.

I'm not

That's such a Fred thing to say.

We're all Flintstones kids

Tbh I miss Fred's contributions to the classical music threads.

Someone should draw up a metric for how much rape apologism is acceptable relative to the poster’s other good posts so we don’t have to do this every time.

the odd thing about Fred in this whole thing is that he was always working overtime apologizing for some of the shittiest Americans most responsible for policies impacting the rest of the world. He spent a million words admonishing those of us who have to live in this shithole against advocating too strongly for real change.

At least, after 2x 51 bannings, Fred got the message (so far). There was one weird post on the mubi thread so I don't discount the prick coming back for another round.

I’m sure he misses you most

otm!

oh, i am totally one of those posters that gets annoyed at posters in canada but that is by coincidence. there were just a couple of instances of them posting the same stuff 10 times a day, o'er multiple days. I got annoyed, who cares. We should all be banned.

don't think this thread has made a convincing case for why Fred should have been banned

sorry we didn't arbitrarily spend all weekend combing two-three years of data in 24 hours time to put together an Exhibit A for you

(ulysses asked for some examples because he was genuinely curious - he didn't ask us to put together a legal brief)

plus, Fred is currently unbanned and has posted recently but has stated he has no desire to come back.

yeah I don’t think that is the intended function of this thread.

Maybe the 102 fp’s can do the convincing.

whatever, he posted in earnest whether or not you liked his posts

Not sure what earnestness has to with it, there’s no shortage of deeply sincere troublemakers in the world.

Anyway it’s nothing to litigate, it happened.

earnestness matters a lot to me, it's why I like ilx

are you Oscar Wilde

i mean it is kinda rude, though, it's like having a friend crying and telling you this person is constantly making your life hell, and responding "really? name 15 exact things she's done and I need it in the next five minutes, or else I will not believe you"

:) I did see the 1952 film recently

fred's bans were both ages ago. if you really want to understand why, the only way is to go back and read all the posts about them from that time. nobody else is going to put together a history of it that's much use. certainly the time to litigate it would have been back then --- everything looks better in vague hindsight without all the posts in front of us.

Part of the way genocide jokes work is a) it matters who is making them (e.g. few people think it's unacceptable for Jews to joke about the Shoah); b) insofar as genocide is the epitome of human nihilism, it screams 'desacralization', i.e. nothing can ever be sacred again after such an event, including genocide, so we might as well make fun of it for cathartic purposes. The second condition was definitely met here as far as I'm concerned, it's the first that is still up for debate, at least in the context of ILX.

I have no idea what this in relation to

Quick derail re: yr post, pom: I just don't agree with the premise that *anyone* can make fun of genocide after its event as elucidated in yr point b, and joking about indigenous genocide if yr a settler is ghastly, afaic. i don't want to assume unperson's ethnic background, but I don't think my stance is one of leftist sanctimony run amok— it's one of not wanting to poke at wounds that are still festering due to the hegemonic political ideology in the US.

but if that makes me a "PC fag" or a humorless twat or whatever, then so be it.

i'd rather be a humorless fag than taking the piss about genocide. call me crazy.

Oh nm I’ve caught up, yeah, fuck anyone from the outgroup joking about genocide, like fuck me, how hard is it to not trivialise something that still has impact up to and including the present day?

xp tbh I think if it’s your own group then gallows humour is not only fine but acceptable, I couldn’t tell you the number of jokes about the famine I’ve made that I would consider deeply awful for idk a British person to make.

That's fair, table, I'm not trying to exculpate unperson here. He knows exactly what he's doing and the aim was to get a rise out of you, presumably because he finds little value in radical idealism.

3xp

Honestly nothing more of a boring edgelord opinion than racist joke -> it’s just a joke > fucking humourless lefties > why can’t you take a joke it’s not like my ancestors killed them or anything

thanks pom. and gyac, i agree with you, tbh!

The thing is, even if you performatively want to piss off another ILXor because you think they're a snowflake or whatever alt-right-adjacent buzzword you can think of, there are other, considerably less fraught ways of doing it.

If you're already operating from that headspace, your capacity for nuance might be shooting sparks.

yeah he came into this "joke" from my favorite (most hated) centrist line of thinking that we should just not let people in red states vote bc they're too dumb or something, haha that'll learn 'em

give me some Jimmy Smith over this fucking monochrome tinny art-school dross any day of the week!

wow that's a novel Prince diss

i don't want to assume unperson's ethnic background, but

**For the humorless leftier-than-thous in the room: all of this is jokes.**

^^^^ this is such a cop out and basically an admission that you have a really sad and pathetic sense of humor

“If you’re offended, first of all you’re not really offended, and also you don’t have a sense of humor”

I would just like to apologize by saying: don't be such a snowflake.

it was a rightier-than-thou post

Even though I am personally minorly harmed by the SALT cap, being in a high-tax blue state, there's really not that much justification for eliminating it other than a giveaway to donors tbh.

― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, September 17, 2020 1:21 PM (one week ago)

Because the SALT cap was politically punitive and legally unfair in terms of the logic of the tax code? Granted it isn't as ridiculously unfair as the marriage penalty vis a vis student loan interest, the fact the maximum deduction for student loan interest hasn't gone up in 20 years, and the absurdly low maximum pre-tax deduction for dependent care ... but if you think about the fact that the SALT cap doesn't affect business entities and only individual taxpayers, and think about who the donors _are_ ...your post just seems like it's missing important things.

I tried my hardest but just couldn’t enjoy Sterling any more after he went to Chelsea.

I kinda feel that way about Morrissey's "National Front Disco" ... and some of the other "Your Arsenal" songs tbh, though I am American so
