    fell from the stairs while climbing down from my topbunk... fell right onto a tiny desk and and a chair (took me a while to be able to get up...) fucked my ribs...

    on that same day the pain was bearable but on the 2nd day I day started to get worried but decided to work anyway since I didn't have any heavy lifting to do so... on that same night, I incidentally sneezed, and I felt such a hard piercing pain in my front ribs that I thought I was gonna bleed internally...

    went to the medical facility immediately but the nurse said that I should get back in the next morning because the doctor wasn't there att... didn't even gave any painkillers...

    next day I went to see 'the doctor'... he didn't even use that stethoscope thingie while I was inhaling and exhailing deeply like they use to do... didn't even touch me to understand where was the pain... told me that I need to see a specialist outside the ship in our next stop which is tomorrow in Cyprus...

    i'm a bit worried because if they declare me as "unfit for duty" there's a slight chance they'll sent me home if they don't find me a replacement on time (which is not easy?)

    painkillers are helping a lot but Im almost certain I'm taking the double of what I should...

    Damn man sorry to read this… sounds serious I hope you get the treatment you need and don’t need too many hardcore painkillers…

    thx; I was seriously racking my brain trying to remember/figure out cruisin’s prior UN. I swear before we had a “check name history” function but it seems to be gone now and/or I’m just stupid and can’t find it.

    edit: the above is my fwp for the last couple weeks

    I have a hard time to enjoy his music. It is like alot of looped radio snippets sliced up with  beats on top of that 

    Yes that's exactly what it is, isn't it? But not radio snippets, sliced up samples from VHS... 

    I always thought that was the point was it was music entirely made from stitched up VHS & public access tv + documentary samples. I could be wrong though lol.

  4. I seem to be in the vast minority but I thought Iradelphic was great. Everything after that I couldn’t get into but I have some hopes for this new release….

    recently played through Doom Eternal, which still has some of the best shootinz in the biz

    I just restarted it last week, roughly halfway through and it’s just so much fun lol. I’m playing on UV which seems to be just the right amount of challenge; can’t manage nightmare and I honestly am not sure I’ll be able to do the expansions on UV the difficulty just explodes in the DLCs.

    Apparently the next DOOM has been hinted at; prob 2024 after Starfield is out/debugged/supported enough etc? I hope it stays this arena style and maybe adds some additional levelling complexity (maybe more weapon mods or couple new weapons or something? Like not just flame belch/frag/ice bomb, maybe a couple new mechanics to juggle).

    Excuse me, what?

    Yeah looking back now it was kinda lousy lol but at the time I didn’t really realize I was being treated poorly. Ended up making some pretty bad decisions as a young adult to keep money flowing but that’s all in the past so ?‍♂️

    I know this thread is meant to be mostly about the US but this shiz happens everywhere I guess! 

    Cheers

    Shit, that’s good to know. Thanks…

    His breath doesn’t seem excessively bad.

    I’m sure he’s ok man sorry; just over over over sensitive after what happened to our guy! At least here the urinalysis and bloodwork was only an extra $200 that’s why I was suggesting it JUST IN CASE the vomiting is something. Hopeful it’s nothing ofc I hope I didn’t startle you

    My cat has started eating so fast that he pukes like a minute later. This is like every day the past week. I bought him a slow feeder for dry food where he has to  use his paws to grab the kibble and this works. But the wet? I was told to spread it thin across the surface of a large plate.. and that sometimes works. My next idea is, instead of feeding him pate stuff, feed him the chunky bits that come in sauce. MAYBE that will less likely get stuck in his throat.  Luckily, next month we have his yearly checkup at the vet so they might know what to do or even take some scans, I hope there’s nothing wrong with the guy.  

    Vomiting mostly water and/or food with no hairball is one of the first signs of kidney disease for kitties… it’s how our our big guy passed away earlier this year. (Granted he was like almost 20; but the symptoms are the same regardless of age - does he have stinky breath too?) Not trying to spook you but if you don’t already maybe shell out for the bloodwork and urinalysis during the checkup…

    sheesh. that sounds rough. at 14 i had a bunch of shitty jobs here and there but nothing that hazardous. fuckn hell. worst i had to deal with was mowing lawns around the neighborhood and on weekends getting picked up at 3am to go work at a flea market that opened stupid early. i worked in the concession trailers selling donuts and shitty hot dogs and eating whatever i wanted and got paid $50 cash at the end of the day. as soon as i saved enough money to buy the bike parts i wanted i quit that shit. 

    btw, the hotdogs were frozen and came in a box of 50. a solid mass of 50 frozen hotdogs all jammed together that we'd just drop into a huge pot of hotdog water and let them boil. i don't think we ever changed the water. 

     

    Man… 17.75 an hour back then? My parents didn’t feed me and I had to pay my own school fees etc so for me it was a no brainer and I didn’t understand the dangers ofc. You worked as a youth too it’s interesting to see the different pathways… Im not sharing for a pity party or anything just that was my experience!

    also, 100+ children working in meat packing plants across 8 states. all linked to one company. hmmm.. 

    From stakeouts to warrants: How federal investigators found more than 100 children cleaning slaughterhouses

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/government-investigation-into-slaughterhouse-cleaning-company-that-hired-children-60-minutes-transcript-2023-05-07/

    largest hedge fund in the world is partial investor in the company... of course. they said they did due diligence when investing and didn't find anything wrong. some reporters staked out a parking lot and watched a shift change and that's all it took to find that children were working there. 

     

    Somewhat related but I was fired from my first job doing asbestos removal/glovebagging when I was 14 years old lol (when they found out my age). Minors aren’t supposed to be doing this kind of work and obviously (as the article points out) this wasn’t an oversight, clerical error. Pure exploitation of cheap child labour. Kids going to school with acid burns etc? jfc…

    Any WATMMers (Japanese or not) chilling in Japan? I’ll be here for a couple years - not in Tokyo though.

    Thinking of heading to Tokyo in middle of June for a Jim O’Rourke and friends live show. Would be great to meet up!

     

     

    A couple years!? Curious as why you moved. Knowing some of your background I imagine work ofc. Just that’s a big move! You’ve always been pretty mobile though. I would love to visit Japan someday it’s top of my list after Iceland.

    Yup check out the Woke Up Right Handed EP. The last track is my favourite.

    New stuff is great but I'm more of a fan of his older works. He got quite a bit of recognition back in the day. My favorite tracks would be: getting me down, medulla rheese, why they hide they bodies under my garage, potchla vee and both tracks of the hessle audio EP. It's more Garage-y stuff compared to the techno leaning EP's/ album he puts out now.

    ty both of you! ?

    @Rubin Farrwhat are your thoughts on HHC-P?

    just bought this and one of my friends is warning me that it could be one of those shitty designer drugs...

    hhc-super-lemon-haze.thumb.png.a2b5c89f9e63047bf90f9192f5cc4e80.png

     

    Bit of column A, bit of column B... it's a designer drug yeah. I'm not sure what you mean RE "Shitty Designer Drug", do you mean like the cliche "spice" going around the US? Some of my fav substances are "grey market/designers" (such as all the 2Cs, 2CB, 2CI, 2CE, 2CT-7 etc etc etc). Anyway HHC-P is like a fentanyl version of THC. Carbon sidechain modified, extremely potent. I'd be super cautious, it's relatively new and there's no saying you're actually getting HHC-P. Being so potent I'd think there could be some pretty negative side effects I'm not sure. 

    I personally would not try that one until there's more info out there, or bare minimum you have a kit that can test to at least ensure you're getting a cannabinoid.... Even then it doesn't mean a heck of a lot. However I know you didn't ask for my opinion; just sharing my thoughts.

    My initial reaction is, perhaps I'm severely underinformed or actually devolving into an old boomer though:

    Will Robinson Danger GIFs | Tenor

    Stay safe.

    Good album. Not as good as Ultravisitor. Last great album before Damogen though.

     

    No, I am not taking questions.

    Mr ?; ufababoon is better than damagedfurries! See it wasn’t a question so I’m good lol.

    They should let Ed and Andy do a remix album. From the parts that I’ve heard, I think there’s potential. Add Ed and Andy to the formula, and you’re back in the special territory @NewSchoolScience mentioned. I agree with the general sentiment from the other posts. You need the three original dogs to create magic.

    I think this track is my only exception to that sentiment, I’m sure I’ve plugged it here 500x before lol but this is a post ed & andy black dog win in my books. Reminds me a touch of the Ratcliffe rmx of Hot on the Heels of Love. Just has a certain vibe I like, not sure if it’s angsty or melancholy etc; prob not for everyone ofc.

    Somewhat unrelated but there are some good dave tipper remixes of Elbow out there somewhere; know it’s a different vein/vibe though.
