  1. Prince Phillip didn't die. Someone killed the necromancer that's been keeping him undead for the past hundred years.
  2. WATMM: "We're fans of intelligent dance music, arguably the most technologically and compositionally advanced form of electronic music." *gets caught in a pissing contest about who has fewer prisoners*
  3. Growing up in Ohio where people are generally on time every time, and then moving to California was a bit of a culture shock. Everyone here bakes in another 5-10 minutes for people to be late. So weird.
  4. Zeff's whole strategy of negating the atrocities that China has committed is "the US did it too." Ad nauseam. Why don't you just look at the atrocities as atrocities and defend no one? There's no one in the this thread defending the US for the terrible shit its government has done.
  5. I can't bring myself to update it. Once I beat Delirium with The Lost a couple times, I just said fuck it. I have music to make.
  6. Okay, it just showed up. Everything's good. I had to yell out the window at the guy but I have it.
  7. So I did the onboarding on my computer, but I'm still waiting on the laptop. In fact, I need the laptop to access the phone. It took them a couple days to send me a new one and it's taken a couple days to ship it to me. The signature is still required and the buzzer in my apartment building doesn't work so I'm getting up and looking out the window every two minutes and afraid to take a shit since we'll have to do this all over again if I miss it. I've basically missed my first week of work so my anxiety is going off the charts. I can't use anything but a company-approved laptop for security reasons.
  8. Sounds idyllic, to be honest.
  9. I did a dance thing with this crazy QAnon lady. We should make a subgenre of cheesy early 90s dance tracks with that terrible electric piano that samples conservatives saying dumb shit. qanon cheese pizza.mp3
  10. Interesting stuff. Their conclusion here is questionable, though (page 11, 'Domestic Generosity'): I would say that since you're more likely to know artists from your own country then you're more likely to pay for and be generous to artists from your own country. Another interesting notion that should have been entertained is this question; how many people that bought music also upload their own music? Since its main audience is independent musicians, then it also makes sense that musicians in a scene buy each other's music (like we've seen here in this very thread). So rather than forming an abstract conclusion like the one they came to, there's a more concrete argument that can be formed. There's also this bit towards the end: Sounds like they're advocating for ad targeting, which is something I hate and love that BC doesn't do. It feels a lot more real and honest without aggressive marketing. I do like being able to browse by city, too. It was pretty handy when I was booking shows before the pandemic. At any rate, it was a nice read. Thanks for sharing.
  11. One of my nurse friends said that they were asked to report cases of vaccinated patients contracting covid again to the CDC. That must mean it's more prevalent than previously thought.
  12. No doubt. He's right, but you get an idea for his mindset/motivation just by hearing his word choice. Also, at the beginning of the first video, he's talking about reasons why he thinks China is great and his town/NYC are inferior, but he's really just describing the mindset of someone in their 20s. Yeah, it's cool to finally have money and live in a big city. That's not endemic to China. It doesn't change his argument, I just find that portion distracting.
  13. That first guy sounds entitled as fuck though. "Conquering Northern China" might not be the best title for your motorcycle video, bro.
  14. A nice guy I knew when I previously frequented a local bar died yesterday. Didn't know him well but had a lot of good times. Not sure where to put this.
  15. I got pricked with Moderna's mRNA vaccine today. Pretty good/succinct explanation of how this works: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/health/moderna-covid-19-vaccine.html
  16. Good idea. It's probably still in the compost bin for me to fish out.
  17. All compost now.
  18. I ordered a pizza the other day with pepperoncini but they put on pepperoni instead. I don't eat meat. They made a new, correct one, and gave me a refund, but now I have a meat pie in my fridge I can't eat. There's a bunch of pepperoni residue that makes me sick if I eat it.
