Posts very much out of character

I met him once, and let me tell you, he was no gentleman. Something doesn't seem right here, Ned...

I think he used to post on the main boards, ILM at least.

-- Tuomas, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 11:41 (5 hours ago) Link

Ah yes, a quick search reveals he uses/used the username "Milton Parker".

I don't understand this ongoing idea that everything has to be categorized as either "personal responsibility" or "product of environment," as if these things are mutually exclusive. In most cases they have everything to do with one another.

i do think for a portion of rape victims there's a relationship between the uh situations they get in and previous (childhood?) traumas - one that unconciously compels them towards situations (and people) where they have a higher than normal potential of being victimised and/or reliving certain traumas. trauma survivors will usually disassociate when thrust into abusive situations, whereas women without that background will probably fight back or try to run when assaulted. lemme say point blank that this doesn't mean they're responsible or deserving of blame in any way - the onus of responsibility always falls on the aggressor. this is where the above 'personal responsibility' vs. 'product of environment' dichotomy reveals it's uselessness (the meeting point is somewhere inbetween). people are responsible for what they do, but they can't be held accountable for the events, people, places that made them the kind of person who does what they, uh, do. it's a pattern of behavior that people relive over and over, often with little cognizance of how to take control (or the power to do so), and it's a cycle that will never end as long as people exist (a patriarchal society that's crafted a culture of guilt, shame and double standards obv. doesn't help).

(NB. i don't really have statistics or science or anything to back this up, it's mostly just a pet theory of mine derived from personal experience. i obviously understand that many rape victims [maybe the majority] don't fit the description i put forth, i really dunno.)

hahahahaha ethan you should talk

question: are the songs ordered first-to-last as you upload them or last-to-first? or can you change the order?

You can change the order.

He's asking you to make a speech.

Michael Richards: Comedic Genius

lol, supposed to be on the "posts in character" thread

i guess it's out of character that nobody took the bait

contrast serious adrian post with: raise your hand if you think this is LOL

that aidsy bit upthread is like when wayne's world would shift into serious epistemological discussions for comedic effect.

Darren I kiss you.

hey, this was back before the weight of the world crushed my spirit. also Darren's the guy who introduced me to ILX and one of the only people here that I've hung out with in real life.

if you maintain or at least attempt to maintain awareness of the consequences of your actions, rather than trying to bone whatever looks good whenever you can get it, you're more likely to stay happy and be satisfied.

That's what I thought too when I was your age, son...

^^ is this the same guy that used to post on rolling teenpop

y, basically only posts on i love comics now-- really cool dude tho

Mordy's videogame poll ballot is also a thing of weird beauty

Tuomas: Great question! I've always wondered about Lloyd; David S. Ware played a composition of his, and ECM still touts him as a heavy hitter, but (and I HATE to admit this) the fact that he's been ignored in histories has maybe kept me back from actually, you know, listening to him.

I think, jazzwise, Yusef Lateef fits here. He got a big push at Atlantic and sold some records, but isn't much discussed historically.

Rock-wise, I've been obsessed with John Otway lately. I was really surprised to hear he'd had a hit in the UK in the late 70s with "Cor Baby, That's Really Free." Hearing that song for the first time last month, I was shocked it hadn't crossed my path earlier. No one knows who he is!

the rest of the post isn't important

I would take 100 more Tuomases and Pinefoxen at this point that one more meta fuckwit who thinks he has any right to act annoyed with other posters because he's been here a whole two years and has >2 AIM buddies

That's not aimed at anyone in particular, I've just been mulling it over today and decided it was true

i think its "pinefoxi"

people are annoyed with Tuomas and the pinefox?

how long do you have to be here before earning the right to act annyoed?

let's make sure to add these to the FAQ

you must have started posting before before 1 AT (anno tomini)

none of you can actually read, can you?

I dunno, I guess if you've lurked since at least 2005 it doesn't even matter if your very first post is a really tedious ad hominem

yeah I guess you said "act" annoyed, not "be" annoyed.

the ad hominems are tedious but I'm pretty sure by now they're just fun and games and not out of annoyance

this thread has taken an exciting direction

They may be in fun but some ppl don't take them in good humour for what I'd like to think are pretty bloody obvious reasons, but what would I know.
