^dude's been bringing the ruckus

eh whether it was coincidence or not i just thought of it as a less funny version of: So who ARE that insufferable indie couple in the new Hyundai TV ads?

The thing is that right now the public cares more about Cheryl and Ashley or Kate and Wills. Phone hacking – a complex business, difficult to condense into a snappy paragraph, not black and white, might land some connected people in trouble, therefore #notagoodstory.

god the public are such morons

#itsatruthbomb

I kinda feel like miranda july is why we HAVE etsy stores #putabirdonit

i still think this is not a truth bomb, other than the people-like-glitz-more-than-politics bit. landing some connected people in trouble = good story, surely.

i would not venture to read anybody else's mind but i feel there may have been an element of mockery in posting said statement to this thread

ah

there will have been an element of controversial rhetorical technique sarcasm

every rap song on billboard sounds like an ibiza bloodfart or radio disney and ppl complaining about a gritty soul sample, smfh

sums up ILM for me

just the phrase "ibiza bloodfart" . . .

I think it's pretty ominous that S&P was seemingly co-founded by a guy named Poor.

Yes, we do have very much of a standard and poor economy now.

ILX isn't really the best place to declare that you care about anything but there are many lol-worthy gifs and some posters with cool made up personas

LOL

haw

was that from a food thread?

no a britain thread

oh right, ilx cares about food.

was that supposed to be a zing?

outside of the obvious functional problems the biggest problem with building a libertarian dreamland is that it would be filled with total assholes

imo if i were yall i would skip the 'messaging back & forth' & rush into 'meet for coffee asap' if u think they seem worthwhile online. wasting time chatting with strangers who u might not like irl is what ilx is for

Once they started talking about the oscar hosting and then twitter I just felt this sense of creeping dread, like there's something really horrifically boring about the times we live in.

what I would always do w/ my brother playing monopoly growing up is I would be the bank and steal bills one bill at a time when he wasn't looking so he wouldn't notice until one point late in the game where I had 80% of the bills

in retrospect I was basically predicting the future of america

i have no problem with bird-like rib cages, or non bird-like rib cages, but one of my biggest problems with this site is that the schlubbiest nerds feel entitled to be really picky about womens' looks. actually this true of the entire internet (i.e. that lindsay lohan thread).

@thebibandit
a tribe of white girls roaming a blighted earth. every trace of life turned into a folk song cover and put on youtube. there is nothing left

suggest that thing white ppl do when they disparage 'white ppl' would be more appropriate

probably

the bi bandit is not white, he's bi

just white girls, cockroaches, maybe a wall-e or two

i think god being a hipster would explain a lot. the universe is just one of god's discarded objects of interest, like an abandoned google+ account or something.
