that one was my favorite finalist for the man booker prize

Did pretty well in the annual bad sex in fiction award too iirc

please represent what i was arguing fairly.

in the hectic free-for-all that is ilx (and it's much worse elsewhere than here) missing the finer distinctions, qualifications and nuances of an argument is normal. consequently, fairly representing one's shallow or mistaken understanding of someone else's argument, always entails misrepresenting that argument.

deliberate and gross distortions are depressingly common on the web, too, but not so much on ilx. here such gross distortions are usually made in order to justify a lazy zing, rather than to vilify an opponent.

The idea that some key signatures are more consonant than others was the biggest standout there for me.

Haha, theory + sarcasm?

i dreamt last night that the cause of jfk's assassination was bob-a-job week

sadly this important historical revelation is nowhere reflected in stone's film

"the parallax effect" and "three days of the condor" are two pretty good 70s 12-ft-lizard movies abt assassination politics

So THAT'S what poptimism is. I had always read the term around here, but every time I asked what it meant I got mocked. #TheMoreYouKnow

I don't think Hitler would have reached his central ideology of German colonization of Ukraine, nor obtained much political support, without the Steckrübenwinter (Turnip Winter) of 1916-17.

Every time I read Trump or someone else saying "just repeal the damn thing now, we'll sort it out afterwards", all I can think of is that alien in Futurama about to steal Fry's organs.

"I take lungs now, gills come next week".

always

About 20 years ago a friend told me: watch HIGNFY tonight, my comedian cousin is on it. He was a desperately unfunny smug twat and I ripped my friend + he agreed that he was nauseatingly bad. 20 years later that unfunny hack somehow stole a living with various R4 comedy-fail projects and "humorous books" and his sprog is the current Spiderman, which I intend to avoid just as much as I did his dad's fucking shite comedy.

Global Warming's Terrifying New Math

No, my question was a question. It was not obvious to me why this thread was chosen to post an excerpt from an article about "Facebook's mid-roll ads" and the poster's annoyance at having music interrupted by them. I can see now that my question was too inspecific, but it was based in genuine ignorance of facebook's interface and how users tend to use it, especially in that the article seemed to have little or nothing to do with journalism or its death.

The answer to my question was unenlightening, even though I am sure it seemed a beacon of truth to the person who offered it. Chalk it up to mutual incomprehension, based on living in somewhat different online cultures, but being called "thick" seems a bit much.

Much more forgiving of flappy's positive review of The Angry Birds Movie now.

v disappointed that his ass is still attached

its about ethics in ass journalism

that last one was in response to a post about a missing ass, so it made sense in context

I've never met the Blue Nile and vice versa, but if I did I'd ask them how they'd feel about injecting some excitement into their music for a change. I imagine it wouldn't go down well, but that wouldn't be my problem.
