Clusterfuck Summary Corner 2 - Back on the Corner

i suppose the lesson here is to not upbraid unless you have sufficient ammunition to support the upbraiding - i came to the fight underprepared, and improvised badly in my huff, appealing to some inculcated suspicion of naivete without considering whether naivete is a) a laudable attribute or b) whether the hipster racism, let alone the para-pop music, was even particularly naive

i wasn't trying to set up a false consciousness argument, merely assert that the stock position of no-caveats dismissiveness didn't allow for the possibility of the music having any merit external to one's experience - perhaps a touch more sangfroid and nakhic hardasstrelsy could have suited this purpose, rather than the simpering assertions of musical quality it got

your tough love is i suppose appreciated, and i am not too proud to refute the position of student

and improvised badly in my huff, appealing to some inculcated suspicion of naivete

don't care about any of this but wanna say as someone much less smart than you who loses many arguments this particular tack was totally crazy

the problem w/ the imago ilx project is that the seams show too often it's obv the production values are suffering

youthful music (= music you like made by people age 0-70)

xp - he should have gone with nudity so the cgi was less noticeable

feeling bad you're not the ilxor at the bottom of this pile-on?

this seems like a key moment, one for the ages

lol I'm hardly ever at the bottom of the pile-on nowadays Mordy

like 400 posts abt gawker

ilxors working for a morally suspect company/publishing garbage

afaict I dunno why anyone would actually read Gawker

they are bored at work, presumably

but yeah i always assume that thread gets so much traffic cuz max works there but if someone wants to expand on jigglepanda.gif...

J0rdan also works there and penned a particularly "controversial" piece of little journalistic value (according to p much everybody)

controversial mod edits!

this is so lame ilx clusteys shld be because of ilx shit not stuff ilxors post on their trashy gossip sites

the ban max and j0rdan thread could have been one of the top ~10-15 clusterfucks of the year, why'd you guys have to stifle it with watercooler chat and good-natured ribbing? *pours unpopped popcorn kernels back in the carton*

it could have been the top clusterfuck of the last 2 or 3 years rly, but then ciderpress happened

ban ciderpress

he's like teflon

if u cared that much ud register

banning is only the beginning

On the Gawker thread 5 days ago Max got all hardman saying journalistic standards were bullshit. Now we're all LOLing.

now we're all craving fermented apple juice

peach cider is pretty dope too, and it is peach season

millions of peaches
peaches for me

too sweet imo but who am i kidding i'd drink car battery acid right now

actually i sound more dipso than i feel it's just, y'know, it's hot and i want the crisp clean taste of ciderpress

I'm actually drinking battery acid right now! Well Smirnoff Ice tbh but same thing practically.

proposed thread namechange to Clusterfuck Cidercooler 2

fuck, Clusterfuck Summery Cooler 2, even

Anyone got any bamboo?

millions of peaches
peaches for me

forget ciderpress, we know who the real monster is

this made me lol irl

deej is posting on the gawker thread fyi

this would be the point in the movie where the mentally deficient 19 year old finds his father's rifle in the barn

oh my god

o my god

v popcorn-worthy shit in that thread

1000th post coming up fast btw, it was at 770-odd when I first checked it today,

man it's kind of nice that i can be banned for like 10 years and come back and some things are same. feels like home.

you've really been a mvp in this whole thing, Cory!

thanks but i feel more like riley curry (yelling things into the mic occasionally, walking into the wall on the side of the stage) than stefan!

*rebookmarks gawker thread*

i only know who those ppl are because they play for the home team

*richard attenborough voice* a fascinating race occurring in the ilx wild. the competitors: those doubling down on questionably motivated moralism, those simply expressing honest opinions and those desperate to win the pissing contest of who's most zingtastic/above-it-all. *long pause* the slaughter will be beyond our imagining.

and that there was this "curry with the sauce mvp" banner hanging in the window of a bar for about a month that i always drive by on my way home from work

that thread just needs a shot of strongo to be complete.

i actually had no idea! I've been at work all day and didn't have time to read threads until just now. :(

about 5 heated ilx threads today

Tbf, my apartment is basically a sauna right now.

What's going on in the cluiche ceannais na heireann thread

did you ever get that sorted

Zappa thread?

ship arrived too late, iirc

some student with a flare gun burned the place to the ground

stupid

zappa thread is entirely amiable tho only of interest currently if you like (or dislike) allan holdsworth

in my day, anything with 338 posts was a real clusterfuck, and we kicked balls in the street

these days it's like 12 people getting excited about something

excited is wild hyperbole in this case

"mildly enthused"
