  1. The definition of income needs to include capital gains, taxes on property acquired through loans where the collateral comes from above the billy, etc. etc. Luxury goods such as super yachts should have substantial taxes on them, vacant property taxes. Corporations with assets/gross revenue above a certain amount need to be taxed more heavily as well. Rent needs to be capped with strictly enforced regulations on maintenance and upkeep requirements. And there needs to be a limit on how much a house's value can appreciate in a year (something like 1% would be appropriate) - and I say this as a homeowner. Houses aren't investments - but we do have to respect that rental stock is necessary (some people move to places for a year or two due to work, life circumstances, etc.) and sometimes people will wish to sell their houses and purchase elsewhere for whatever number of reasons.
  2. Damn you guys are spending the PL money on a new stadium? Any transfers coming in?
  3. I echo the thoughts already in this thread - MIXL2 was a good guy and will be missed. His curiosity and honest approach to the world (at least to the world of music and this forum) was always joyous to read. Deepest sympathies and condolences to his family and friends. RIP MIXL2 - you're a straight G.

    I finally picked up Kafka on the Shore. About a third of the way through and so so very enjoyable.
  5. Nobody got shot, they shook hands at the end, everyone wins here.
  6. chen was drinking Bud Light, high on AI.
  7. No, music is not "rotted one note." Music is a complex art form that involves the combination of multiple notes, rhythms, melodies, harmonies, and other elements. Different musical traditions and genres have their own unique systems and structures for organizing and creating music. In Western music, the most common system is the equal-tempered scale, which divides the octave into 12 equally spaced pitches. This system allows for a wide range of harmonic possibilities and enables composers and musicians to create diverse and expressive music. While it is true that certain minimalist or experimental compositions may focus on repetitive patterns or emphasize a single note or pitch, they are just one aspect of the vast spectrum of musical possibilities. Music is a rich and multifaceted art form that encompasses a broad range of styles and expressions.
  8. Is it really even IDM if no pedantry is involved?
  9. Hoping for a positive result for you lot. Would be magic to have Luton up in the top flight again.
  10. The word you're looking for is elicit. There's no point to this thread, if you don't like Nebraska, put them on ignore and be less stressed. You're welcome, Management.
  11. https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/may-2023/the-last-gamble-of-tokyo-joe/ This will obviously be a movie at some point, but it's a good read.
  12. 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!
  13. All I got from that was that at some point in time, Desantis was riding Trump.
  14. So gross. I bet every single one of those fucking cowards has a full face covering.
  15. Florida be wilding. They sure showed that stationary stationery.
  16. 5 points behind the Blades and they have a match in hand. Feel like you'll be in the playoff rather than automatic promotion. I'm for 'boro but it would be lovely to see any of those four in the playoff spots now in the prem again.
