yes, it would be entertaining to know if ILX really does conform to this stereotype
yes, we may safely assume that internet polls are always entirely accurate

Awesome iconic longtime poster just boils over in peak frustration and quits and the procession of "SWM here, look at me, arent we the worst?" posts doesn't so much as even hiccup...

Ilx would def benefit from more diversity.

Also drugs a money otm i hate this thread.

i thought this thread was to identify all the swms so ppl could know whose posts they could ignore/call out without feeling bad about it. seems to serve the public good.

runaways thread was one of those i type+delete like 10 bathetic-seeming posts a day in before ultimately posting nothing, but i did stop by this one for one of the glib jokes i am more confident with, which i came pretty quickly to regret: a swm story

I ultimately wish I had decided on this course of action

IRL, when I'm OOC:
*tries to rise above stereotypes and stay aware of otherwise invisible privileges**gives those privileges to others when in a position to do so*
also, what is the definition of straight here? Straight-passing, I'm assuming?
― Frobisher, Sunday, 19 July 2015 02:00 (eight years ago) link
I'm a straight white hope

i think it's funny that in the 60s straight meant dork
― Treeship, Sunday, 19 July 2015 02:14 (eight years ago) link
I think it was more like normal/square. Not necessarily "dork" but not into drugs and counterculture and such.
― five six and (man alive), Sunday, 19 July 2015 02:24 (eight years ago) link
Eh, sounds about right.
― emil.y, Sunday, 19 July 2015 02:28 (eight years ago) link
Capt of HS football team who went on to work in a bank would be "straight" though not necessarily a dork.
― five six and (man alive), Sunday, 19 July 2015 02:40 (eight years ago) link
sounds like a dork to me

true story: spotify put the song "i'm straight" on my discover weekly playlist this morning

xp I just got my first discover playlist. It wasn't terrible, a little too on the nose though.
― five six and (man alive), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 03:49 (eight years ago) link
I listen to enough joni mitchell that it should know not to put a joni mitchell song on my "discover" playlist
― five six and (man alive), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 03:50 (eight years ago) link
yeah, i was already familiar with most of the songs they put on mine but not all of them. i think it's cool we get a new one every week.
