time to kill dennis perrin tweets

Im phil collins

Perrin lies the rub

Phil Collins

Block the Perrin tweets and endless burner accounts reposting Perrin tweets will rise. I am Perrincus.

tbh his tweets aren’t very good but they’re better than that agraybee asshole that was getting posted constantly a while back.

god help ye if ye ever discover uk politics threads tbh

^^

Morbs has been posting Dennis Perrin tweets (and , pre-Twitter, blog posts) since 2006. While I am no Perrin fan and would like very much to never see his tweets, they are now part of the very fabric of ilx. Removing them could have unintended future consequences for the site. Consequences that we are incapable of fully understanding from our limited perspective.

Don't cross the streams.

they are now part of the very fabric of ilx Morbs.

Fixed.

Perrin is Morbs' sockpuppet. I imagine Perrin sitting on his lap egging him on to post yet another tweet, evil high pitched grin and all. I'm not unsympathetic to the fact that we all have our flaws tbh.

Splitting the option to turn off images from embedding tweets/youtube would be a welcome change to user preferences tbh

I don't really know who Dennis Perrin is, but threads with lots of tweets in screw up jumping to last unread message really badly

xp: High-pitched? I always read Morbs' posts in Walter Pidgeon's voice.

allowing twitter embeds one of the few missteps in how ilx works in recent years

It’s funny that this total nobody now has two dedicated threads on a message board he doesn’t (directly) post to

make each trenchant croak a little bit wronger

Is this a quote? Because it's a freaking good sentence! No?

Posting one or two perrin tweets every freaking day is beyond tiresome

on average, I don't come close to doing this

I don't get the hate, he 95% sez the same stuff as Chapo. better on trad comedy.

he lives in DC, I am not in cahoots

god, yes please

I remember saying that at the time. Of course, when I complained about the UK Politics thread being dominated by Twitter embeds, I got shouted down.

well.....that is just a function of that thread tbh

Unfortunately.

Perrin's voice high-pitched, I meant!

“dominated” is a weird thing when half those embeds are primary sources for breaking news...plus more often than not if you write anything longer than a paragraph you’re not going to get huge amounts of back and forth. Personally the only tweets I’d proscribe are those of a certain awful French freelance journalist AF has a soft spot for.

the way i see it, people who come on here and submit content that is not up to par, could possibly be considered the "Villains" of this site

Uh oh...

lol

I'm in favor of a sitewide killfile for perrin it is the closest thing to an intrusive ad this site has

I really can q politics threds like ex-ilxor bb has been urging for years

I really can q politics threds

Oh, I think I get it! Like this little guy?

never ban perrin

Nailed it. xp

I don't get the hate, he 95% sez the same stuff as Chapo. better on trad comedy.

1) he is occasionally m/l accurate, on some of those occasions slightly mordant, is never even slightly funny

2) ppl post chapo stuff in the chapo thread and nobody has any problem with this

3) if he’s good on trad comedy and you are posting his tweets on a thread about greek culture from 300-400 years BCE then probably nobody has any problem with this either? I don’t read that thread though

4) there is a dedicated thread for Dennis Perrin tweets, which most ppl who are bored by Perrin tweets in unrelated threads might look at occasionally if you posted Perrin tweets in it, with genuine open curiosity. as Aimless says, people who know you are more interested in your own thoughts being added to an ongoing conversation than the oblique opinings of some guy who wrote a biography of some other guy, once, 25 years ago.

5) lol there is no more reliable indicator of Morbz posting in a thread within the hour than Morbz quitting that thread forever

I honestly don't care about the presence of Perrin tweets one way or another. They're just another expression of ol' Morbsy's beloved 'I'm not touching you you can't get mad I'm not touching you you can't get mad I'm not touching you you can'tUHHHH WHY DID YOU HIT ME I'M TELLING ON YOU AND I HATE YOU FOREVER!' routine.

the sentiments in Perrin tweets are identical to the ones voiced by Morbz, so we'll get this stuff one way or another

u guys r just jealous cause morbs found "his guy"

honestly i'm confused that any of you can still bear to discuss politics at all, y'all have stronger stomachs than me, salud!

TBF discussing politics has been way easier since that thing a few years back where the incessant stress of doing so finally shut down my organic corpus and necessitated an upload of my consciousness into a crude mechanical body comprised mostly of wire hangers and soup cans. I literally have a cast iron stomach for that shizz nowadays.

LOL, just saw the post that likely prompted this thread. Perrin is basically what happened when '80s Dennis Miller tried to teleport himself across the room but tragically failed to notice that someone's lame and underinformed dad had time-travelled from our era directly into his telepod.

wait the dad time-travelled into the inside of a telepod that miller was about to use to teleport across a room?

yes but it's the only interesting aspect of the story

the real tragedy here is that people are still allowed to embed Trump tweets

Splitting the option to turn off images from embedding tweets/youtube would be a welcome change to user preferences tbh

this is by far the best option IMO - split it into images/YT links/tweets

“dominated” is a weird thing when half those embeds are primary sources for breaking news

Half a percent maybe!

trumps tweets are at least funny tho

I just had to call the police because @target Refused to sell me the toothbrush

lmao at the expression of the manager in the previous tweet

Hey @Walmart your Hanover, MA manager Ronald C Carbone is refusing to honor a price match on @NintendoAmerica #NintendoSwitch #games as advertised pic.twitter.com/nYcPzgYIJw

— David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) December 6, 2018

very relatable expression

oh god i want to kill this man

a total fuckhead

he’s got one social justice issue, and folks, it’s a good one

......the pricematcher

it is the essence of Officer Jim Arnaud in a tweet

I have not been able to afford to go to a dentist in over three years. So yes I wanted a good toothbrush and was thrilled to see such an amazing prize on an @OralB but @target refused to honor it and now I have to take them to court

— David Leavitt (@David_Leavitt) January 17, 2020

Something audibly popped inside my brain after reading this. I think I'm dead now, guys.

I hope he takes Target to Cavity Court!

leavitt m8 issnot worthitt

take him to cuticle court and lock him in proximal nail fold jail.

is teri single, asking for a friend

howbout u quit the fucking board instead, esp if you think Rush was anything other than a shit band

This kind of biting, not at all puerile criticism doesn't really work whenever all the Yo La Tengo film buff nerds go after an actual proper rock band; it doesn't really work when in their corner is some piss-weak late 90s excuse of an indie-rock band for middlebrow Christgau fuckwits to wet themselves over

wait are yo la tengo fighting rush

only on DAZN

lol

georgia vs geddy cage match

i was trying to remember why I know David Leavitt's name. He is only known because he made jokes about the Manchester shooting right?

One thing I’ve learned from this thread is that it’s pretty fun when ppl other than morbs post Dennis Perrin tweets

I actually kind of see them in a similar light! Three pieces, stuck together over time and developed a certain aesthetic and musical language that was unique to themselves (that's the only reason to care about a rock band now imo), both grew and changed over time but maintained their identity.

lifers, all 6 of them

is Perrin quoting CSNY?

it's getting to the point where i don't care anymore

Seriously tho who is he

dr morbius but without the medical license

I prefer Denny Vertigo

"actual proper rock bands" are indeed a cancer

actual proper rock band......time to kill

Indeed, why would anyone actually want to rock, how unbecoming
