Icepicks are funny

I find it really funny a political rival of my favorite tyrannical strongman was murdered with an ice pick

it is very funny

for the longest time I thought "ice pick" meant an icicle, because I'd never lived in a house with no freezer or otherwise had to buy ice

basic instinct

When I think about the things you said,

I wanna put an ice pick through your head.

If you see me laughing,

don't take it personal.

I thought this thread was going to be about how icepicks are amusing, instead it's about another political thing I don't understand :(

that's not funny at all :(

noted russian politician leon trotsky was assassinated by a guy named mercader with an icepick. people who don't like trotsky therefore think icepicks are funny, i guess.

I'll....just take your word for it, honestly.

Anybody who makes jokes about dictators assassinating people with the implication that they are genuinely OK with said dictator are too far gone to even acknowledge and I'd really prefer that you just didn't acknowledge them at all. Seriously, why the fuck is Sam Kriss relevant to your life? Why are tankies relevant to your life? Why must you try to make everyone else care? They're assholes. They're a waste of time. You're wasting your time and ours. Stop it.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-05-29 05:20:52

I apologise for my tone there. That was a bit uncalled for. However, do keep in mind that what I have said elsewhere on this subject and about how you conduct yourself on these subjects still stands.

you are being astoundingly mean.

I calmed down and wrote another post apologising for how I phrased that, which you seem to have overlooked. I didn't delete the first because I feel like pretending I didn't say something that I shouldn't have because it was embarrassing or rude would be wrong.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-05-29 05:51:11

...which is not to say that I don't think that those people aren't worth acknowledging, nor that I enjoy hearing about them. But I know that I could have said it a lot better than that.

Sometimes I project a more universal feeling of irritation onto small things that do not warrant them in an excessive fashion. Such is the case here. If you would like me to delete or retract the paragraph in question, I will.

I wouldn't take Jane, or really anyone here, to be the type who'd want you to go so far.
