recently i'll type a post, maybe with some moderate thought and consideration, and then suddenly just backspace it instead of posting it
what if you could just ctrl+x what you typed and just chuck it out of context into a different thread?
well this thread can be that
you could put [quote ] [quote ] around it and then an optional explanation of why it's here or no explanation at all

any of you guys from memphis?
i watched a golf clip of lebron being critical of memphis yesterday,
then just saw a quote from the mayor of memphis being like
"lebron come hang out with me and i'll show you how great memphis is"
(paraphrased) then i google streetviewed memphis midtown area, and
was in front of this sterile white painted, dystopian block apartment building
and was wondering what the hell is that
streetviewed back a few years and it was "the parkview senior community living" more warm coloured and had a nice green walkway awning canopy thing
so i googled it and lots of local news saying "the parkview beloved retirement residence set to be renovated" "construction begins" etc.

anyway what the hell

furthermore the surrounding homes are both really impressive but eerie and strange from who knows what era and also absolutely ridiculous with what appear to be green coloured terracotta roofs??? massive old mansions on huge deserted grounds across the street from sardine packed bungalows it's so weird
like out of a some kind of dr. seuss noir

but if i'm talking to someone from memphis in the next few days or weeks i'll super casually say some shit like "shame about the parkview retirement residence down on poplar"

also i'm sorry if you read this post

so this one just got completely sidetracked and rambling
also once i realized how pointless it was i thought what if i try to type it again, but with slightly different ideas and wording in a column right next to it (i saw this done in a book i'm reading) so that 's why the formatting is weird - i was going to use the [ pre] thing but then i thought on phones it will probably not look right etc. and then i was like what the hell
and then i thought i'm going to make a thread for this crap

one great/not great thing is wondering where that post was originally headed
or it was never not in this thread to begin with? from "inside the house" as it were???

quoted because i was going to backspace that corny response but ironically, or whatever the word in this context is, because it was already typed here quoting was all that was neces

wanted to backspace the explanation for that one too lol

jface, i think this is a great thread

slim i think it has potential to really change the game
maybe someone thinks a convo they had on here went one way but later on in life they're reading through this thread and come across a post from around that time and are like "huh??!" or "wha-???!"
maybe it's already peaked with 'u dumb son of a bitch'
only time will tell

derp needs to add a site level post buffer that catches all your key stronks and uploads them automatically to the cloud first and then into a quoted post to this thread that has a time sensitive detonation feature that triggers on postbutton.press=no or whatever that code looks like because I'm certain it does not look like that.

i want there to be a feeling of dread the moment you pop that cursor into the post field

that's right slim, never forget all your posts are important - even if you second guess them later they're welcome here

oh man this is the real dream scenario;
we'd have to start writing our posts out on paper before typing if we really wanted to be certain of the message;
real nightmare scenario as well

just biked home with the wife from a David Byrne show

great production and i hope i look and sound a fraction of how good he does at 73 gatdam

the whole stage and backdrop was a giant led screen and they all had trackers on for individual spot followers

i didn't take photos because all the old ass people around me were being annoying and recording huge chunks of the show. genX was well represented

the squab discussion had me remembering that we've somewhat recently learned that sauropod babies were like the staple food of the jurassic
they would have huge clutches and there was no attending to them once hatched
just little and not-so-little long-necked slow pokes stumbling around out there getting scooped up by giant for snacks by giant theropods

is "nodding off too sleep" redundant no backspace here

this was the only part i backspaced from a different post different thread; you can see i had every intention of posting it but keeping it honest

Maybe they should send some of these ice cunts over. They don't feel bad about anything.

This is not the original version of this either. I just can't tell how this comes off so I didn't post it.

wasn't the right reference and didn't really make any sense
