Yeah, I don't have a problem with that.

But its sheer hubris for him to pretend everything he does is tongue in cheek. Own your violent tendancies :Lucius!

 

[linebaugh]

I think thats fair.

What's a "nonce" asking for a friend

In cryptography, a nonce (abbreviation for number only used once) is an arbitrary number that can be used just once in a cryptographic communication.[1] It is often a random or pseudo-random number issued in an authentication protocol to ensure that old communications cannot be reused in replay attacks. They can also be useful as initialization vectors and in cryptographic hash functions.

But I'm pretty sure they mean pedo.

I've decided a nonce is someone who speaks nonsense, thank you everyone for your input

Dissensus when Dissensus was great.

think there was some discussion in the Pop 2012 thread.

I absolutely love it.

brilliant, brilliant album

i reviewed it for fact, never seen more bile in the comments section of a piece i'd wrote before: weird internet sociopaths telling me i should die and stuff. obviously none of them have heard the album, it's breathtaking.

Er yeah, surprised me but I really quite like it.

I was a bit averse to it at first, but my girlfriend really likes it and kept playing it in the car and it's just kind of wormed it's way in. When it's bad (there are a couple of things on it that are just appalling to me), it's really bad, but there's some genuinely good pop moments on it.

gus can you explain the appeal of pop to the over 25s? I've never got it. I used to love pop when I was 24, but when I became 25 I realised I would look like a bucket hat lad if I continued

 

[WashYourHands]

not necessarily dumb... maybe more along the lines of aging nerd-boys who fall for nostalgic noirish Alterna-Babes such as Lana,, not despite but precisely because of her fabricated inauthenticity, so that their in fact quite naive infatuation can hide behind some kind of anti-rockist irony, and seem more sophisticated because you know, it's hauntological lol. the kind of electronica nerd-boys who in the 90s used to be into that down syndrome looking actress whatshername... Christina Ricci.

Hot take from @zhao

Yeah, he really fancied her.

Hot take from @zhao

delivered with the typical ugliness but thats quite the foresight from zhao

So do you though. Droid, Patty, Padraig, baboon, danny l, mr. tea, all can back me up on this lmao.

Luke hasn't been as abrasive in recent months. I think arguing about British fucking politics brings out the worse in all of us.

Mind you, I don't time to read 90% of the threads. He might be being a right cunt to someone in an alternate dimension I've not yet stepped into. I kind of hope so.
