    Talked to my landlord ( who im friends with?? ) about maybe helping me out if i get laid off

    He goes" i can't afford it. I know you have money. If you need help ask your parents. That would be like stealing from me etc etc 

    I don't know what's going to happen. Maybe go on welfare, but nothing bad has happened yet; just gotta live one day to the next.

    due to what you do for work do you think its likely youll get laid off?

    just got 2 weeks notice of the sack at one of my jobs, and the other job i also got an ominously worded message about the management talking to upper management about what theyre going to do about all this. i knew it was coming so im in okay spirits right now.

    ffs i didn't even want to post this stuff here but i knew someone would play the boring centrist "well actually" card when i'm talking about the racism i see in my own country.

    why are you acting like asking somebody to give evidence is something so out of the ordinary and wrong to do and should be castigated for it? you were the one that said it mate not me lmao. if you say something, expect to back it up. if you hadnt have given me any evidence then how could i possibly have known theyre the same group of people? also telling me to stfu lmfao? idk what kind of discussion ur trying to have but its not conducive to one that champions civility and the pursuit of knowledge. cant think of any examplesoff the top of my head with the same people who x thing. think of it this way, if you hadn't have messaged that guy, or checked out any of their profiles or whatever, and you made that statement and i asked about it, would you really be able to look me in the eyes  pixels and truthfully answer "yes they are"...obviously not,

    but it's very telling that these are the same people who harp on about muslim immigration  tearing apart the fabric of society etc.

    are they? where did they also post their thoughts about muslim immigration?

    There's a good chance that one day one of these superbugs is going to be very bad, but the coronavirus thus far? Malaria... 2-3 million people infected every year,  500,000 deaths a year. Kills thousands of children every day.  Even 20000 cases a year here in the USA. And that's just malaria. 

     

    not a valid analogy because malaria can only spread via mosquito bites

    Because shutting down society is a very drastic step to take. People will have no income, no food (after a while), no services, etc, all of which could itself very well cause loss of life. Not something you want to be responsible for unless you’re fairly certain it’s absolutely necessary.

    where did i say anything about shutting down society

    That man simply is not equipped to hold that much fruit. 

    And speaking of the virus. I am kinda tired of seeing the news over-play these kinds of things. It could become an issue worldwide, but more people have probably died from falling refrigerators in the past week than the virus. I remember when there were a few dozen cases of Ebola in the news here in Texas and they didn't stop reporting it.

    the chinese government isn't overplaying it, they're massively under reporting it. you know they still went ahead with a 100k person banquet in wuhan for celebrations a week after the first death from the virus was recorded? they arrested ppl and journalists who reported about the virus...absolutely fucked up.

     

    also, why not err on the side of caution when charting unknown territory with viruses. we havent seen this one b4, although we do know its in the same family as SARS, but why would you NOT be overly cautious when viruses could proliferate at such a rapid rate?

    I’m glad that China is actually enforcing lockdowns and quarantines, unlike Congolese Ebola outbreaks, where one of the deadliest viral pathogens in the world is treated with the same concern as bronchitis.

    you should not be lauding the chinese government for doing anything, they have handled this situation embarrassingly bad

    mmh ... I don't know. They played very little Onesix live. In my opinion they are still working on an updated version of this set, and as long as they intend to play it live, they will not publish the soundboards. I would be wrong, but...

    they played like 35 dates of onesix. theyre no longer working on the onesix set

    There was a lot of shall we say 'disinformation' in the early days of Rephlex. Look at the whole Bradley Strider stuff, where first they claimed it was a separate person, then when @Bambi  (aka Mike P) spilled the beans on Brad Strider being Richard, Grant tried to claim it was actually Manuel Sepulveda (the guy who designed quite a few Rephlex covers and most notably DrukQs) using Richard's gear to make the tracks... yeeaah, sure.

    All done in fun but frustrating from a fan perspective (or fun for the fans to figure out) - which might have been the point! :dadjoke:

    Supposedly the legendary CAT002 had four tracks, two by Richard, two by Grant. CAT003 (attributed to IG-88 aka GWC) also was a GWC release (as I have been told).

    All lost to the sands of time now...

    i think its manu sepu on the b side of bradley's robot tho... (if u didnt know already that is)
