  1. god, my english is pretty bad too :< fhlhfdlghflhgjkfhgfkjghk
  2. dont smoke dont drink at least i can fucking thiiiiiink ican'tkeepup icantkeepup icantkeepup i'm out of step with the woooooorld
  3. it's absolutely terrible! either i'm going to flunk all my japanese credits or majoring in japanese is a joke (or both). i'm a bit anxious about my future, but to be honest this is my first year so hopefully things will get better. i spent all the summer studying kanji so i could just forget about them and focus on everything else but meeting people or reading manga or something would probably have been a better idea. anyway i can recognise bad japanese because it looks like what i churn out when i have to look anything up in the dictionary/when there's 4 pieces of grammar that mean roughly the same and I don't know which one to use lol also it isn't 90% garaigo so it can't be real japanese from 2015 no, but it's pretty ungrammatical basically it looks like something i'd write it takes one to know one
  4. i am going to have to get a paid account someday so i can delete posts like the previous one
  5. btw, in case anyone was wondering, the one that's in japanese is written in broken, stilted and awful japanese and reads "the aesthetic here is awful i must blog now i'd rather be using my satellaview"
  6. Relatively o/t, but even though Ae themselves denied it (iirc), I find it hard to believe deco Loc isn't a remix of Being Boiled. The first two minutes or so are quite similar and at around 1:35 a voice that's remarkably similar to Phil Oakey's says "s-s-s-s-s-stop your" (as in "stop your sericulture"). From that point on there are some weird, vapoury vocal samples (which probably have an obvious source too) and the resemblances abruptly stop there, but what do you think about the first two minutes? Anybody else noticed the similarity?
  7. npoess why hast thou forsaken this thread
  8. not to be snarky, but can't you hear the gospel influence in UR or detroit techno for that matter? also, lol dlettere not to be snarky, but no i can't die
  9. rival dealer is like christmas in mcdonald's basically which come to think of it sounds pretty opn to me!
  10. soulless, 90's-style, fake j-rap (sorry I never replied, peace! yeah, compared to the real thing her rapping is superlame and she's got the flow of a cow, plus what little i can understand from the lyrics is daft af, but i'm still a fan 4 lyfe ! kom-i !) over fm technopop beats is life
  11. Does anybody have a link to the original poster? I find it beautiful and makes me believe in humanity (honestly!) (btw, the book is pretty good.)
  12. if you can't see the second video, skip to around 29:45 - 30:50 on the third one

  14. i mean, "small start-up" sets off all sorts of alarms. go for the phd.
  15. http://www.amazon.com/Qpets-6-Meal-Automatic-Pet-Feeder/dp/B005POODL8/ref=zg_bs_2975260011_3 Saved my life when I had a cat who insisted on being fed at 3am. It made both of our lives better, he'd go nom and then come back to hog my other pillow. lol awesome! Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately our cat eats this special wet food that prevents urinary crystals, which will spoil if it isn't refrigerated. Cat flap on fridge = problem solved. Thanks not needed
  16. Is there any book about underpasses, commutes and concrete buildings? One that isn't too ballardian.
  17. what i mean is moral philosophy was all aristotelians (macintyre and the like) or kantians (applied ethics, communicative ethics, ethics of dissidence, etc etc etc) and i was bored/furious/reaching for my copy of Being and Event. got a passable grade in ethics 101 and then i developed a crush on a coworker, was dumped by my girlfriend, lost my job, decided i'd rather learn japanese, draw comics, make music and become a translator and dropped out (again!!!!!!!! i've got 7 lives i'm bulletproof and walletproof and bankproof and everything) so really it's a bit traumatic for me, i think it'd be a pretty cool discussion but i'm not really going to talk about philosophy ever again, sorry i run my mouth a bit too much sometimes i'm sorry if this isn't too graceful, i think i could've learnt something from talking to you here, because ethics wasn't my forte really :/
  18. the thing is first the situation is not an ultimatum, and second if any of these two situations were ultimatums, they aren't equivalent if white supremacists do anything you can throw them in jail and you really do have the means to crack down on them whereas with north korea it makes sense to try and help making relations with other countries easier i have actually read a bit of moral philosophy and i thought most of it was bollocks, because i absolutely hated kant and found aristotle's ethica nichomachea pretty uninspiring although it wasn't as bad as kant, and because i think you need some sort of goal to decide what you're going to do, and you also need to take into account that there's far more to making a choice than your individuality (incidentally i really disagree with kant's concept of subjectivity/what it means to be human). "living a virtuous life" or "the kingdom of ends which by the way is just a regulative ideal" is completely abstract and unmediated and undialectical and meaningless in fact at first i liked the notion of a trascendental subject but then was completely disappointed because kant basically uses it to say "fuck politics and fuck what is actually happening and the process of things, this is all about what being human means, which by the way is some sort of ultracalvinistic tale of imperfection, striving for things you know are impossible and the individual being the basis of everything". i disagree on every account. hegel has a very good bit where he says kant's notion of "civil society" is bullshit because it's nothing but a name for class society, so nothing ethical can happen there and the real question is what to do with that society
  19. we're morally responsible for whatever it takes to wipe them out, cos that's what the endgame is in the case of NK, publishing exploitative crap is irresponsible unless the endgame is 3 centuries of "lol north korea is so fuuuuukkt uuuuuup looool i arxed some difficult questions loooooool"
