tl;dr: Philosophers should shut the fuck up from time to time, when they don't know what they're talking about.

What Do Stupid People Talk About?

(it should be noted that was a self-inflicted zing AND thread-wide zing. the holy grail for zingers.)

1330 is a fairly mediocre score, is it not?

^ this is such a classic sarahel "I'll just put this here" post

I did applaud that

i've done my share of faux naïf trolling over the years. i wouldn't dare judge. sometimes it just leaps out of the keyboard. there was an epic response from the person with that score though with a lot of juggling of ancient testing figures found on google. so, mission accomplished.

I removed my bookmark and walked away but I really need to go back for that one

is it really a zing if everyone who was zinged comes on here and is like "heh heh yeah you got me (shrug)"

That thread is so bad

Like even after the first person to come in and call out ppl comparing hi scores, nobody snaps out of it

i'm not gonna justify anything i wrote but i sure as hell never posted scores

that thread is like

I wanted to talk about how much tail I got in HS but figured that'd be gauche (NB, did not get tail in HS).

i don't think i ever read jess's original thread. figured it was just a dumb people be trippin' thing. compulsive score talk is just ilx brain squad par for course. those lovable dweebs.

i'm all in favor of a "you must be this tall must have above this SAT score to post on ilx" requirement

the number will be... 1331

i went to the prom with this girl i didn't know and embarrassed her beyond belief by getting really drunk and doing coke all night and then going to a party and doing coke and drinking until 6 in the morning and then my friends drove me to danbury high school to take my SAT. i didn't do so hot. i suck at tests though. and math. i did good on the part about words though.

you lost me at "went to the prom"

we went to this girl's house and her parents took our picture and i saw the picture later and they had colored in my shoes with magic marker to make them look black. they were a very polite Indian family who had no idea how fucked up i was. she was nice too. still feel bad about that....

my tie kinda fell down...

that such a worthless thread ultimately brought us to this wonderful destination... makes me feel like making some inspirational memes

xp to Lauren--Because on my way to places that aren't in any way close enough to walk or bike to, I often have to run errands and stop at the post office, bank, library, etc, and buckling and unbuckling every time I have to jump out if the car to mail a letter seems tedious and unnecessary

Nice.

Taking nothing away from the people involved in making this happen, which I'm sure has been mind-bendingly complex, but watching that video I've never before seen so clearly the Kubrickian link between a spaceship and a caveman getting excited over a flying bone

i've done a lot of 'shutting up and listening' to feminist rhetoric, i can assure you it doesn't work. hasn't changed opinion #1. if anything it makes it all the more clear how little ppl care to understand men. we are not you.

also is the understood implication to permanently shut up and listen? cos that's a pretty rude and idiotic thing to say to someone

turns out sometimes shutting up is correct

The belief that the 'majority' of the American public connects all but one element from the list (and not a 'national health plan' precisely but inchoately-expressed improvements to the existing regime) to the improvement of their 'material lives' is about the most desperate, time-wasting shit I can imagine.

have to appreciate a posting style that imparts nothing on first pass other than the understanding that it's not worth trying to figure out the point being made
