It was probably already changed by a moderator.

Did you change the name of this thread?

Seems poetically correct. I do love Stereolab.

Why does a dumb thread like this get a pass on not being moved to the lounge? It's about a fucking TikTok video.

Wow. I am a total dilettante, in that case. Not finishing books is my special move.

If I'm honest, I tend to inveterately pick fights with aggressive folk who can knock me down fairly easily. I'm sure it's some kind of complex.

You're right. :confused: hope you're doing alright.

I don't know; why are you?

Weird; where are all the left-leaning socialists like @"StreetlightX" and @"Banno" in this thread?

My ears are singed.

I feel as though @"180 Proof" probably feels at home in the nomenclature found here though, no? :up:

That sounds stressful, but I do love the mental image of a storm just sort of lounging around across the street, lazily debating whether it wants to t...

I'm paid by the hour, so I wouldn't know.

Nice. I'm down for any chili, but to be honest I don't totally understand the non-bean version...I know some swear by it. Love me some kidneys though.

I'm already eyeing some chili recipes.

"Flagged for low post quality. Moved to the lounge."

Do you not feel weird about dining out without a mask, while your server has one?

I don't know what you mean.

Eh, I dunno. When I write music, my subconscious seems to determine what I write. I.E., all the time I'm trying to step outside my comfort zone, but I...

I'm late to the game on this one, so I'll throw out a few ideas (sorry if they've already been touched on). Creativity is not random, nor is it determ...

Also, "Hand-like feet always grasp in nature" is not only more coherent and concise, but weirdly poetic? Without the big words. That's just me. I may ...

I think of glib more in terms of sounds made by frogs. But that may be strangely appropriate.

Thankfully all of the more famous classic spots are still operational.

May I remind us all that the point of the thread isn't to pull up impressively obscure words. Good words are just good words, and I would venture to s...

@"unenlightened" I'll preorder the special edition.

Also, am I the only person who received consistent E grades on my English papers throughout high school and college?

I'll give myself a solid C+. @"Baden" receives a bespoke B via his name, and likewise, you receive an H.

There's a lot of artists on the forum. We just tend to not stick out.

Hey man, just letting you know I did see this, and am very interested in responding. I'll get back to you soon (ish? I'm an artist, I cant' lie)

Do you?

I avoided this thread for whatever reason, as a musician...I don't want to be that way, so here's something deep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHC...

I didn't say there was no such thing as Banno's mother.

Is there a Banno's mother? (as a concept)

Good luck, dreamers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLvHW27dwWU

That's good because your thread apparently doesn't exist anymore.

Mee 2

Yup, exactly. But a potential problem is that calling broad taste "superior" still suggests a hierarchy: broad taste is better than narrow "low art" t...

If there is, we certainly don't have a word or concept for it. Which brings up the question of to what extent it actually exists, and on what level (o...

I think we probably agree, but I'm not following you.
