Clusterfuck Summary Corner

so what happened in the end with I Love Metal? it's getting shut down?

yes

deleted by popular demand and all metal threads have to be posted on ILM only

"all music threads to be posted on ilm, more at 11"

unless you think metal isnt music ;)

well anyone who thinks that can fuck right off; there's some common ground for you and i

haha

we can bond now!

clusterfuck on wtf is this i love metal nonsense

ronnie james dio must be turning in his grave. lol @ all the metal clusterfuckery atm

lemmy should come on ilm and sort all the haters out.

People cant complain about a metal sub-board,campaign to get it deleted,get it deleted after less than 2 days,then complain about more threads on metal being on ILM!

fewer

xpost ugh dude dont campaign for your clusterfucking here...shoo

summarize or gtfo

soo bagels & metal huh

what happened on the bagels thread?

Jewry v. Goyim clash.

bagels isn't really a clusterfuck though...nothing like the metal thread, or sleep deprived LJ on the Operation Delta Dawn thread

if we had an argument abt what constituted a clusterfuck itt would that be like putting a Starbucks in a Starbucks?

it'd just mean we'd need a new thread "Summarizing the Clusterfucks in the Clusterfuck Summary Corner" which would likely create an ILX singularity of epic proportions

has the 'has the 'has ile gone down the dumper' thread gone down the dumper' thread gone down the dumper?

hahaha

Someone to summarize 4 me pls: To what degree will you support musicians who (openly, possibly or jokingly) include racist, sexist, homophobic, or bigoted messages in their music, or who privately hold such beliefs?

I came in when they were talking about John Cale. Soon afterwards, it turned into a huge flamewar between Phil D. and Bill Magill over disco. Then it settled down into a discussion whether or not Wagner was a proto-Nazi.

sorry no gifs :(

At least partially: Geirbot.

also geirbombs

lol xp

also Geir comes off really badly

lol xp

oh man, massive xpost, sorry

ILM gets a "racism in music" clusterfuck every 3 months, it's so regular

Yeah that's why I didn't read it - figured it was the same old BS but just wanted to check if anything exciting actually happened.

that thread is good: lex, noodle vague, aero, nabisco all a+

i <3 clusterfuck threads about race though

Oooh see now those posters could make it worthwhile. Will check it out.

it's actually a really good thread apart from the geirbombs

problem with a geirbomb is that everyone wants to be the hero jumping on it with their helmet, even tho it doesn't detonate if left alone

AG otm, thread is v cool, geirbombs aside

Someone been cheating on an ilx-er* or something? Cheating thread is picking up posts like crazy.

*Damn ilxor ruining 'ilxor' as a way to refer to someone on ilx.

thread is pretty good, one or two dodge posts aside.

US Steel vs Norwegian Wood in the SB play-offs

i sometimes wish i could afford to hire a bunch of voice actors to read ilx threads for my entertainment, b/c man...

preferably Werner Herzog and Mark E. Smith

maybe some Bobby Gillespie for good measure

xtranormal.com imo

A couple months ago we found some site and were recording dramatic readings of posts but I can't remember what it was called now dammit. I can't read that thread anymore - it's bumming the hell out of me.

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=80027

The last time I checked, all of the recordings were gone, but that doens't mean we couldn't start the thread fresh.

Yeah, it's a shame that the links don't work anymore. THat was a lot of fun.

It was probably the closest I've ever come to being caught using ilx due to actual irl lols.

is us steel trolling or just insane?

Lol never mind I found the thread and it’s not personally helpful to me at all

posts that effortless summarise ilx tbf

also summarizing ilx: i have no idea why there is a 300+ post clusterfuck that's apparently about tax law in I Love Baseball

if you don't follow baseball I'll sum it up, there is a dude from Japan who is a baseball freak of nature, who is doing things that either have never been done or haven't been done in 100 years, and he just signed a $700 million/10 year contract with the Dodgers and we're just now finding out that he's actually deferring $680 million of that until after his contract is done and I think everyone is mostly stunned that there are no rules preventing this sort of thing from taking place

He also has torn his UCL twice which is probably the most critical ligament in a pitcher's body. Earlier this year I looked up statistics of the 6 pitchers in MLB history who have had TJ surgery twice and only one performed above replacement level after the second surgery.

I know he has a wonky ankle which prevents him from playing a position (he only played 61 games in his last season in Japan) but I have a suspicion that a lot of his other injuries were masking larger ones related to his UCL (blisters/oblique/cramping).

He'll also turn 30 a few months into next season which is an age correlated to a decline in performance:

nbd and maybe we can bring this back to ILB, but who was the one pitcher, and by "performed above replacement level" do you mean their entire career after the second TJ, or a single season of above-replacement? (asking because degrom comes to mind, ryu, eovaldi, others)

I can't be arsed with that thread lol.

DeGrom has not pitched since his 2nd TJ (June 2023) and is timetabled to potentially return August 2024. STEAMER projects Jake for 0.0 WAR if/when he returns in 2024.

Ryu only pitched about 1/3 of the 2023 season since he returned from his 2nd TJ, he put up a 0.4 fWAR/bWAR going 3W-3L in 11 GS, 3.46 ERA, overall velo down about 3-4% from prior seasons, and his K/BB was his worst in 7 seasons. STEAMER projects him at 1.8 fWAR for 2024 (8W-9L in 26 GS, 4.35 ERA).

Eovaldi was the one pitcher who I noted performed well above replacement level for having 2 TJs (1.58 bWAR avg since return).

Some of the other notables were Jameson Taillon (1.2 bWAR avg since return), Daniel Hudson (0.5 bWAR avg since return), Joakam Soria (0.4 bWAR avg since return), & Chris Capuano (0.3 bWAR avg since return). After that it's a sad day at the glue factory.

pipecock doesn't quite do it justice really

I saw a lot of people pointing out that Eovaldi had some velo dips late in the season before he missed a month (?) due to injury, so it’s not impossible he fails to maintain his performance down the line.

Taillon had a horrific first half and then picked up a lot in the second half.

DeGrom idk he’s so talented but he’s so crocked, you could flip a coin and tell me he wins the Cy in his next season or he never pitches again & I’d believe you either way.
