Always nice to know that being comfortable with racism is more important to some people than how others feel about ilx being the kind of place that tolerates that.

is this the most failed thread title in ilx history?

Having reviewed the entries so far, im definitely not

recent polls have shown a fifth of ilxors can't draw a map of the ottoman empire. why do you think that is?

my kingdom for a time machine to revise off-base drive-by quips

it's like there's a sonic equivalent of the male gaze -- the male ear? -- and there are female vocalists that play to it and sometimes it is creepy/gross

With all due respect I was not looking for your "advice" when I robbed that bank. As any fule could see I was merely venting about the iniquities of the system, m'lud man.

My least favorite argumentative technique I see online is the one where someone makes a reasonable and fairly straightforward request or suggestion, only to have someone respond by suggesting that they actually meant a blown out of proportion version of that request taken to a ridiculous extreme that tries to paint the original poster in a bad light. It’s a shitty, Fox News way of reframing a discussion to put someone unnecessarily on the defensive and it drives me batshit to see it, even on ilx, as often as I do.

Like,
Poster A: I wish there were two more episodes of Succession last season.

Poster B: I can’t believe you think that hbo should cancel every other show they have in production just to refocus their entire operation on one series.

my least favorite argumentative technique is when things dissolve into pushing and shoving

I can't believe jvc would prefer that things dissolve into pushing and shoving

what a tedious fuckin drama queen

why i oughta push and shove you for that one

haha not you

haha i know, just playing off of SG's post

If "the noughties" denoted a zero in the decade we must have been in the numpties since 2010. That might explain a few things.
