truth bombs

idgi. how many '70s bands made just one album vs. the ones that made an album every 10 months for as long as they were together?

thousands.

punk happens.

well there have always been a dozen short-lived footnotes for every career artist -- how does that make the 70s different from now (sorry i don't know what the original thread this statement was made on, i'm probably missing some key context)

i think it was something about how people in the past would hone their abilities and pay their dues and learn many different styles over a period of years and post-punk this changed and post-internet it changed even more. something like that.

oh ok i see what thread that was, i posted in it but hadn't seen that post.

nah, that's all wrong.the cockroach represents tyler, and tyler represents all the hipsters first fascinated and then repelled by him. they hang themselves after reading this thread.

the bomb that took out 6000 posts

damm

we had a thread where people lined up to take turns polling artists careers like soccer moms arranging post-game snacks, so let's chill on what we call "ilx at its worst"

that is quite the image

Post game snacks are awesome. What kind of freak are you that you don't like snacks.

(display name totally made me LOL)

i don't think it was a swipe at snacks or soccer moms tbh

maybe J0rdan has mommy issues?

man if i ever get tired of shooting bang bang barrels i will be tired of video games

^dude's been bringing the ruckus

eh whether it was coincidence or not i just thought of it as a less funny version of: So who ARE that insufferable indie couple in the new Hyundai TV ads?

The thing is that right now the public cares more about Cheryl and Ashley or Kate and Wills. Phone hacking – a complex business, difficult to condense into a snappy paragraph, not black and white, might land some connected people in trouble, therefore #notagoodstory.

god the public are such morons

#itsatruthbomb

I kinda feel like miranda july is why we HAVE etsy stores #putabirdonit

i still think this is not a truth bomb, other than the people-like-glitz-more-than-politics bit. landing some connected people in trouble = good story, surely.

i would not venture to read anybody else's mind but i feel there may have been an element of mockery in posting said statement to this thread

ah

there will have been an element of controversial rhetorical technique sarcasm

every rap song on billboard sounds like an ibiza bloodfart or radio disney and ppl complaining about a gritty soul sample, smfh

sums up ILM for me

just the phrase "ibiza bloodfart" . . .

I think it's pretty ominous that S&P was seemingly co-founded by a guy named Poor.

Yes, we do have very much of a standard and poor economy now.

ILX isn't really the best place to declare that you care about anything but there are many lol-worthy gifs and some posters with cool made up personas

LOL

haw

was that from a food thread?

no a britain thread

oh right, ilx cares about food.

was that supposed to be a zing?

cam here to post that adamrl post

outside of the obvious functional problems the biggest problem with building a libertarian dreamland is that it would be filled with total assholes

imo if i were yall i would skip the 'messaging back & forth' & rush into 'meet for coffee asap' if u think they seem worthwhile online. wasting time chatting with strangers who u might not like irl is what ilx is for

Once they started talking about the oscar hosting and then twitter I just felt this sense of creeping dread, like there's something really horrifically boring about the times we live in.
