Clusterfuck Summary Corner 2 - Back on the Corner

He has really excellent hair, that is true.

getting some chris klein in election vibes on yerac's trophy husband

Alright tks for clarifying sufjan

yerac's husband is great and i think if they have been together for like... 12 years?? 15 years?? then the are fine.

Having qualified as a homeopath, Crippen started to practise in New York, where in 1894 he married his second wife,[4] Corrine "Cora" Turner[6]

After a party at their home on 31 January 1910, Cora disappeared

(not a ref to yerac to be clear just saying)

is yerac’s huaband the mythical “yerman” I always see referenced?

#notyerman

pics of the husband hair or it didnt happen

don't bother with the 1975 ILM thread, it's just Turrican going "why are you hitting yourself? stop hitting yourself" for days on end

i was already not bothering with the 1975 ilm thread but thank you for your service

ah, i wondered where the splashback was coming from. shd've guessed.

this whole 51 thing is taking entirely too long.

lol white ppl

I’m sure we’ll get to the bottom of it this time

legit thought about seeing what shari vari had to say but nah

I wouldn’t bother.

americans: wite ppl are only allowed discuss american racism

europeans: hush, please

americans: you british just dont want to admit your colonial guilt

irish/scotch: say that again

americans: what whats the problem

Well excuuuse us, rest of the world! I didn't realize our storied arrogance had suddenly become so charmless.

did deems just refer to the people as "scotch"

Thanks, I'll have a double.

On the rox pls

scotch is the correct term god ye yanks know nothing ask jim or tom or ailsa any of them theyll tell u

if they deny it then they are no true scotchman

if u listen close enough to the crashing of scotch in your glass u hear irish people talking

if you listen too closely to irish ppl talking youll soon need a scotch otoh

Scotch Irish is a type of American

the irish part of scotch american is the 40%

if they deny it then they are no true scotchman

this made me snort disgustingly, A+

I'm tempted to wade back in to the white people debate is at but the sheer volume of posts being pumped into that thread has almost surely reached the roof by now, seems unsafe. There only two options on offer, people. It can't be that complicated.

each option is valid under the context available (nb apart from one or two notable exceptions the yanks do not appear to agree with this conclusion)

I disagree with u.

(Look, we're just a difficult people.)

that thread has become a cesspool and i have not clicked on it any time in the past week without immediately regretting it

:(

I was actually trying to learn something from that thread.

there are some good posts in that thread but uggh it is mostly a tedious mess

going all howard beale on ilx usually isn't good, just ask me

one thing I’m proud of myself for as I’ve gotten older is I just have no interest in wading into these dumb debates about esoteric meta-issues that are only important to people on the internet. let everyone in that thread knock themselves out imo

Otm

when i was a wee lad one saw "the Scotch" referred to in print quite often

cueing yr age jokes

Kev remember when u had beef w me abt circumcised cocks

glad we can curl that snake up and leave it in the past

haha are you one of those people who feels really strongly that it’s torture or whatever

No

I was joshin wichoo abt why religious ppl circ their boys and how it leads to erectile dysfunction

haha well it doesn't

It does dude

Just pullin yr chain chiefo we gucci

it prob doesn't even affect sensitivity either. it's a topic that people have opinions on one way or another based on personal experience or ideology, which is whatever

🤔 what disagreement on the Internet could not be described that way? Just curious what gives u this above it all POV

esoteric meta-issues that are only important to people on the internet.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

It’s Scots-Irish btw

maybe “only important to people on the internet” was the wrong framing. this describes all of us of course. I guess I just don’t think it’s a very important conversation
