haha whats the context of that

simpsons viking joke thread

not worth going into thread for, it should be noted

he's talking to tuomas, right?

yup

T-mas

T-bomb-mas

Tuomas is a character on Lost. He wants answers, but not enough to look for them.

People would rather yell at each other about nothing than actually talk about music on this forum.

that's actually not a truth bomb and it would be better placed in the "posts that effortlessly summarize ilx" thread

i agree

for god's sake ksh, keep it together

shame

ffs

gawsh

ya fuckin' pedants

Nothing pedantic about pointing out that Truth Bombs are supposed to be True.

Can't remember if there's a "Butthurt Indie Stans" thread any more.

Subs - insert well-timed link to ILM here

yeah it was an xpost but

i know this is an important discussion, but i gotta go post about The National now

I hate to say it, but 'pathology' is culturally situated. It definitely seems pathological to me, but lots of stuff in the world seem pathological to me. The vast majority of human beings seem pathological. At some point you've gotta be like: This craziness is actually normative.

People who know exactly what they want out of life at 18 are usually a) very boring, b) self centred arseholes, c) very boring self centred arseholes.

curtis lemay of tbombers right there

tbh a lot of ilx threads seem to be people listing off generalized types of people that irritate them all the time

yeah this feels like it's been really common recently

people who do that irritate me

u have become what u hate ;_;

i irritate i :(

haha
irrationally angry thread = one example of how ilx reminds me not to be irrationally angry, or even angry in general, tbh

i feel like on those kind of threads some people start of just thinking it's a bit of fun and then post enough to convince themselves that they are really angry about this stuff and then they're like "oooh you're making me MAD just thinking about it!!!!"

that thread, jeez

48. people who have to think things over once they get to the register. you're there, fucking buy something.

that's not innocuous that's actively reprehensible

phew

the thing i don't get about those threads is like, why would i want to put effort into thinking about things that annoy me when they're not actively annoying me?

preparation

the thread's just a bit of fun, really. it's interesting to see what common experiences/irritants we all share, I don't think everybody truly goes bat crazy IRL everytime the above happens.

do not underestimate the number of people who (not-so-)secretly self-identify as "ornery"

cokney for something completely different imo

it's the board's collective unconsciousness venting steam after borad drama

you call that drama!?

h8 people who call that drama

hahahahah booming post

young people trying to change the world with fury and words and a sock to the jaw of the status quo = free pass in my book

would rather they tried to change the world with a brain. passion is the most wrongly fetishized used and abused cultural quality i can think of.
