"the aesthetic here is awful

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?

I don't know why Underground Resistance would ever want to play at a church, with their revolutionary leanings.

Having a cat that whines incessantly until you wake up to feed it helps. That's what changed me from a sleep-in-til-noon guy to a begrudgingly get up at 9am guy. Now I fall asleep during the shows/movies I watch at night. I miss the old me.

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

Is there any book about underpasses, commutes and concrete buildings? One that isn't too ballardian.

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 :/

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

So Chen, yes or no:
are we morally responsible for the actions of white supremacists that angry about desegregation?
Say yes if you want, but just please be consistent
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"

i'd say these people are there because of first imperialism and second because the precious values of pretty much every country rich or poor are "let's see who gets lower for a shit job"
on the other hand whether these people adopt your values or not depends mainly on how much the State cares about spending money on making sure they do live regular middle-class lives and can afford to live amongst middle-class people
another option is making sure working-class people can live awesome lives without having to worry about needing to prostrate themselves for a shit 3-month contract
same goes for the "middle classes" too, whatever that means
and making sure your economy doesn't ultimately rely on some classes being fucked and some countries being poor
which admittedly isn't easy
just my opinion though
i don't really want to get into a serious discussion so i don't know why i'm posting this
i wanna be good

also you've got to admire the lolsmanship of your mate, audioblysk. he was born for the internet

Pee in the other bag, even out the urine levels
you've gotta even the pH out, bit of cat pee, bit of human pee, takes a bit of skill to know when to stop but the results are well worth it

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
