Linebaugh intervention thread

[sus]

I am a little concerned. Wes has nominally returned to the forum, after previously devoting all his spare time to Tinder dates with his tattoo clients. However, he has not seemed himself. In fact, he is in danger of becoming what I refer to as "Corpseified." The Corpseified user still posts but their engagement is nominal. The bare minimum, contributing nothing of real value, and never putting in real energy. This is related to dead internet theory as had been discussed on the board lately.

Oh shit ya

I was really drunk

Lebron is the greatest

radical Islam- that's radical

 

[sus]

Has he been replaced? Or did he get brain damage?

I am also concerned with the way that, despite half a dozen people on this board having read or having an interest in Pound Era and The Wake, he isn't posting about his readings or asking questions or participating in threads. All his emotional libidinal intellectual energy is going to a reading group which he mentions in passing but isnt inviting us to. It's like his heart isn't in Dissensus anymore.

He should get involved in the Trump threads, the lively high-quality debate will soon have his synapses firing again and he'll stop wasting his time having fun and sex.

 

[IdleRich]

Two obvious causes...

1. All these women have sapped his vital fluids
2. He's sunk into a deep depression after Luka moved from one minnow to another. I reckon it's this, see how half-heartedly he responded to my drunken taunting in the basketball thread.

This place has become the proverbial dead horse. Is it any wonder all the greats have long left? Now it's just a bunch of school kids kicking rocks around the ruins playing fancy dress and a few old spectres with nowhere better to go.

 

[IdleRich]

Which are you?

I'm mainly here for tea's puns.

The rot set in when we lost Yoghurt-Sothtoth, if you ask me.

Oh look, talking mold!

Oh look, talking mold!

I beg your pardon young man.

 

[yyaldrin]

did you just tattoo a man completely blue like a smurf @line b or did i imagine that?

 

[sus]

we need a heroic effort from lineb to rescue his valuation in my eyes

 

[sus]

My opinion is in danger of being really really low. But if he makes a really good thread it might only be fairly low

I really hope he did
