heartening to see how progressively contemporary web communities view race

rolling my eyes at all their omg dont even stop yr car in baltimore street cred grubbing claims

they mad at gawker again #lucidending

yeah whats up with that---i have no desire to wade through reddit for anything other than funny pics and the odd wikipedia article

i have done some research and it appears some joker posted to reddit saying he had cancer and was going to do some doctor assisted suicide in a couple day but for now hed take the time out to answer some questions - they loved it and the guy became a reddit celebrity - it turned out to be a hoax - then a guy from gawker wrote a joke tweet claiming responsibility - once again reddit believed it - even tho the gawker guy wasnt even trying to prank them he was just straight up joking - now reddits all im never reading gawker again so mad

well how about that

btw reddit is weird like it all seems like its written by one person, the tone is v flat a lot of and then and then and then so anyway style story telling, idk its creepy i guess they surface a lot of memes and viral news but w/e

it seems like a horrible place

its p funny how gawker openly uses it to find stories and reddit h8s them so bad for it - its like idk so now mediascape

ive seen reddit sighted far and wide across then net as a place that has superior conversation or w/e - and i guess compared to like blog comments it does but gdamn

i've never reddit.

they have a board for men's rights for christs sakes

i love mens rights

reddit and metafilter seem to be 'highbrow' w/r/t rest of the internet

feel like there's an ilx zing here somewhere but

that's why if ilx ceases to exist i will leave the internet 4ever

thinking maybe the voting systems on those sites creates some sort of dystopian heard mentality xp

like if people arent into what youre saying it ceases to have ever been said

maybe, I never been

I should clarify and say that that's what I've heard about those two sites - metafilter is useful sometimes for like getting to the bottom of some internet hoax or something, it always seems to come up in google results

ive only ever investigated reddit via this thread and i watched a talk by the metafilter guy via youtube - both sites seem k creepily into themselves for being reasonable

I just look for the pics. It's where I found that border shot of TJ. Some other cool burbs pix as well.

All that fffffffffuuuuuuuu forever alone shit can Die In A Fire, for all I'm concerned.

metafilter is 1m better than reddit but neither of them hold a candle to good ol ilx

reddit is great for finding funny links and shit but seriously it is like a parody of internet geek culture, all woman-hating quasi-racist super-moralistic libertarianism

oh and obviously nonstop atheist bullshit

Metafilter bugs me. Reminds me of the fifty-year-old woman in my office who sends me links to YouTubes of people who take pictures of their baby every day for a year.

I also steal stuff from bco, but only if http://i54.tinypic.com/11l4yvn.gif hasn't stolen it first.

Good grief. People whine about the lack of funny on the excelsior thread, but that thing is still hanging in there.

metafilter's been around for a long time

yeah I look at reddit sometimes when really bored for links but feel guilty while doing it cause the culture is so embarrassing, I feel like ilx is looking over my shoulder and judging me

They try so hard to make memes. Someone posted a picture of an analog clock with "IIII" in the 4 position, circling it with a big CLOCK FAIL. Cracked me up.

I mean 4chan is the true underbelly of the web, but at least their suicides are real.

4chan has the decency to be funny, if completely amoral. & the 4chan community structure is pretty fascinating.

this is kind of unfortunate

pretty nice pair of manboobs, tho.

the internet is a wild place

the guy looks kind of proud of the manboobs -- as well he might, it's a hell of a rack -- but that seems to undercut the advertiser's message

what would don draper say

reddit is great for finding funny links and shit but seriously it is like a parody of internet geek culture, all woman-hating quasi-racist super-moralistic libertarianism

so so so so otm. insufferable.

can i tell you something. i was at this event at science club in dc (yuri's night, in honor of the anniversary of yuri gagarin spaceflight). by the time i got there the place was very crowded, the upstairs was full.. i got a gin and tonic and walked around for a bit anyway. i found that the room in back past the bar didn't have too many people, and the majority of the tables there were all occupied by large, unfriendly looking dudes in polo shirts who were just sitting there not interacting with anyone else

later on that evening on the twitters someone posted a photo of those tables, captioned REDDIT IS IN THE HOUSE

max used the expression 'a poorly formed joke' in a gawker post recently

ilx™

tell me when he uses ¯\(°_o)/¯

Maybe Whiney can write a book about that.

max really is a rotter, i thought i was just saying that but it's turned out to be true.

!

Rotter 31 up, 9 down
buy rotter mugs, tshirts and magnets
Someone who is generally subversive, deviant, shameless and attracted to the more gutter styles of existence.
"Look at that rotter over there, he's shit his pants, he's pissed out of his face, he's just shagged that whore without a johnny, there's red wine stains all over his lips, his eyes have gone yellow, he's got odd socks on, the flies seem to be following him, there's a belt wrapped around his arm, he's dragging a dead dog on a lead, oh and look, now he's vomiting down his front!"

gonna get myself a mug

that definition is ugly and coarse, when i say it it's an endearment and there's no mugs, tshirts and magnets.

max u need to get working on a book abt these dudes http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/06/the_government_in_genocide_tpm_talks_with_some_sovereign_citizens.php?ref=fpblg
