It’s good and true

people have this addiction to saying things that is starting to seem kind of pathetic

Aren't we over-analysing this semantically at the expense of the sentiment?

― Maltrsnapper, Wednesday, December 11, 2019 9:25 AM

that one's even better bcz the poster is getting sprung at analysis that happened 14 years ago

lol

heh wait no that would be a pair of posts, never mind

Still counts, please indulge.

oh i wouldnt dream

You're robbing posterity of [redacted].

dont even joke

in 8 years it seems i have stopped trying to come up with solutions and have instead turned to blaming the situation on a confluence of factors that are sometimes out of my control

You're not doing very well at this whole shutting the fuck up thing

As an observer, I’m finding this argument impenetrable and pointless and it’s frankly putting me off this thread.

It makes me feel very sad to see so much hatred and ridicule in the world. This thread seems to exemplify this. But let us face the facts: why are we even contributing to this thread? Simply, because we are all sad losers, including myself, with nothing better to do with our lives. No doubt everyone here is skipping school or college because they are seen by their peers as outcasts and misfits - why else are we here? Nevertheless, life goes on even if all of us here feel like giving it up. I don't much like Weezer.

"I am just wondering what you guys have achieved to reverse this situation and which amazing achievements give you the bravery to shit on female journalists on the internet for doing their jobs?"

I'm afraid tens of thousands of posts over two decades here gives me the right to shit on whoever I like. Sorry if this offends.

the bbc's "neither washington nor moscow" era delivered a fvckton of grebt kids' TV: viz _the singing ringing tree_ (east germany) and _belle and sebastien_ (the pyrenees, not that belle and sebastian ffs) -- also we learned early to nagivate dubs and subs so it was educational also and in conclusion this is why jeanne dielman *shot rings out*

Lol

i studied the blade

You've got to fight for what is right

adding: not quite sure why i'm here analysing jokes that aren't working told by someone i think is a vast toxic idiot never not acting in bad faith

I love rereading my old posts because there was usually some insanely funny shit surrounding them.

it came out and I thought "this is great!" and then never really wanted to to revisit it.

That weird phenomenon of message boards, particularly one where people are constantly saying there are only 4 people left, where there are television threads where it feels like *everyone* is watching all the telly all the time saying shit like 'it gets good in season 12!' and I have no sense of how there is so much time available in the world for people to fill. Then you step into the next room where no one is watching anything at all and I feel like my brain is going to pop.

Was this the thread where we mentioned Donald Fagen and Lou Reed or was it a previous one?

Or referencing or whatever, again, I haven’t listened to the song
