truth bombs

both supposedly, see what happens with the republican hissfit

everything I saw said the embargo is very much still in place

well the president cant lift the embargo unilaterally but restoring diplomatic relations is an obvs step in that direction and an indication of a desire to do so

am i the only one that feels like 'oh no american tourists turning cuba into cancun' is more trenchant social commentary than truth bomb

did you read any posts after that one

i sort of tuned out after i saw more than one post about starbucks

speaking of trenchant social commentary

only 90s kids will understand

i mean like genuine commercial made for your money under the indiepop glaze for people who like their starbucks iphone identity but no longer of the generation instinctively and cynically averse to blatant commercialism and instead are of the gen where identity is found within it rather than in opposition to it. Emimem's violent rap against a pop queen finds himself in a era he's not familiar with in that when he was going at pop stars in his pomp because now they curry favour in we are cool and knowledgeable circles rather than just been teen pop who you can say what you like about without anyone serious giving a sh

facebook is so boring and mundane and most people i'm very close with don't really use it. yet deleting my account seems like more effort than not deleting it. for some reason i still browse my newsfeed pretty regularly, just as a general "let me escape this present moment" thing (not dissimilar to ILX, but ILX generally has funnier or more insightful shit to say) but not because i find any great worth in it. in general "let me escape this present moment" is a net negative in my life so i can't say i gain anything worthwhile from facebook.

You're essentially internet bullies. I mention that I'm British and you and your cronies spend your whole time using it as an insult, we all know in your rl you aren't so confident with the insults.

People get a lot more confident with their insults when they are directed against British people irl or not.

missed the og thread but in their defense Arctic Noon Auk as a username sounds like a deleted Frank Zappa track title.

it is a bad dn and a worse poster

When I become Emperor I will ban all songwriting credits from ever being published

― 龜, Sunday, April 5, 2015 11:05 AM

but then we'd have no Alexander Nevermind!

songwriting credits are the most valuable part of music

^ truth bomb

Songwriting is important, though, so if I were dayo's vizier I'd impose a tax on listeners requests for credits, with the revenue going to the songwriters.

This thread is going to hell. It's not a debate team, it's a thread of truth bombs. Truth Bombs: behaviors or events that repeat themselves in a sincere and sometimes surprising.

Forks following post may not be the king of truth bombs but. Sirs, it's is, without a doubt a Truth Bomb.

This British bullying needs to be taken elsewhere NOW.

wat

love you sunny

When dayo is emperor, it is a truth bomb that he's liable to ban songwriting credits

when people seem to disapprove so much of sites that are basically just people talking to each other, i wonder what kind of peaceful, uneventful, unfailingly polite human interaction they expect millions of people to maintain every single day of their lives

I find almost all of my day to day real life encounters to be pleasant or at least inoffensive. Flesh & blood humans generally know how to be polite ime.

one the good things abt online is u cn talk abt things that ppl are generally not comfortable with or just dont feel like talking abt irl, a lot of mediating a polite non combustable space irl is not going there which is fine but its cool to be able to go there also

not even to mention the threat of physical violence present irl

plenty of threats of physical violence online too tbf

you can threaten someone with physical violence online but nothing will ever happen, irl the threat of physical violence is just part of the equation of how ppl interact

unless yr bill magill

did bill fight irl!

wat?????
no way

how much do u bench?

i don't have the patience to find the BmG and Cankles back and forth on ILNFL but i definitely know there was never any closure on that story

morbs offered pavement to someone once that was good

nb sidewalk, darragh, he offered sidewalk

Yeah but did he make good on his offer

just kitchen floor

lol
