The DVD service gave everyone the option of “watch a good movie in two days or watch crap now” and guess what they chose

No

tbh i kinda feel like you can add "vs the US" to the titles of so many threads and have them be a more accurate summary of the content, just like you can add "for white dudes" to the titles of so many threads for the same reason

A lot of kids’ titles there. Kids are notorious for wanting to watch the same movie, or have the same book read to them, over and over. Kind of wild that in the streaming world it’s just like “sorry, it’s gone. No, that’s no DVD of it. How do you even know what that is??”

Maybe it’s good. We need to relearn the art of handling evanescence.

the real reason execs don't like working from home is because it's a lot easier to control and mistreat people when you can see them.

Personally love when people repeat a point I already made in a worse way, too!

I wouldn't nec say "worse" every time, but it's weird to me that ILX is quieter/more depopulated than ever but this happens so much. A few months ago people were repeatedly pasting the same tweets w/zero commentary, which was seriously maddening. Is this a Zing/phone problem? Standard-issue narcissism? [insert obvious killfile joke]?

The key to avoiding having this happen is to make points that no sane person could agree with.

Momus tried that for many years

"people repeat a point I already made" is also known as "agreeing"

hey just so everyone knows, if someone repeats a point someone else already made, you might also call it "agreeing"

I agree

I haven't read the thread but the last post otm.

in my experience there are two kinds of guys once you get above like 6'2": those trying to take up maximum space and those trying to take up as little space as possible

Also so much American(western?) conspiracism is entirely based on reactionaries being denied their treats.

All other aspects of life being stripped away except for consumerism, and deny them the thing they want right when they want it, and it must be some malefactor plotting against them.

I was youtubing a chef who said "anybody who tells you they can caramelise onions in less than an hour is a LIAR and a COWARD!" and it is true. I once tried a short cut with sodium bicarb and a pressure cooker and the result was vile.

I dont think I ever confirmed the original TB question in this thread. I guess 16 years later is as good a time as any: Omar was correct.

i think it's a way to get away with looking at the girl and acknowledging her in front of your gf, but doing it in a manner that would suggest "man i would never go for her". like when you say, "man look at her hat, how lame" you're thinking "but damn, the rest of her!!~"
