  2. Lopez was too big for Loma, after tasting the power (albeit on the arms and gloves mostly early) Loma was afraid to commit, I think they tried to take him into the later rounds then turn it on but just couldn’t turn it on.  Teo fought a blinder but, looking closely, Loma was always a little shaky at lightweight, Linares dropped him, he struggled against Luke Campbell, its clearly not a comfy weight for him.

    "Don't let science in dictate a pandemic"

     

    Jesus, Diesel, shut up :lol:

    Quote

    The big takeaway is not to let scientists supply all of the problems during a pandemic as they will only provide scientific answers

    To my mind thats not saying ignore science completely, its saying that all concerns during this pandemic cannot be approached or solved scientically.  Science can give answers in terms of the illness itself, yes but not necessarily in the approach to it.  For example, take herd immunity, it'd probably work y'know, its just that you'll end up writing off a lot of elderly and infirmed people.  Now practically speaking, perhaps even economically, it'd be the beneficial thing to do.  Morally however it is abhorrant.  If one were to take a clinical approach though herd immunity is probably a good approach.  You could keep all shops/business and shit running, people could just catch it en masse, let it spread and get out there, the young strong fit and healthy survive, the economy doesn't take too much of a knock...and the elderly and infirmed, well, collateral damage right?  Are their lives worth a global economic crisis that will potentially fuck the lives of a lot of people, including their own during this pandemic?  A bunch of people'd catch it, get over it in 10 days or however long it took and we could've avoided all this unpleasantness we're going through.  Thats a broad example and I know I'm not talking specifically about science throughout but I'm sure the basic principle I'm trying to express is understood.  Thats what I took Dies' to be meaning anyway, perhaps I'm wrong.

    My god!

    I just think its a wonderful piece of work.  First of all the nerve of it, to release that.  To my understanding conceptual art is not about the thing but rather what the thing is saying, the intent behind its creation, the idea or concept behind it.  Unfinished Music, what is unfinished music, if you pick apart music, the building blocks of it...its just noise isn't it, sound?  So like...all noise, all sound is kinda...unfinished music, disordered music.  It kinda blew my mind first time I thought of it like that, its artistically liberating, to people who are kinda...stuck on form and ridgid in their approach to it, its a liberating concept.  It doesn't mean to say that all artists should now just make a fuckin' racket but rather its like, I dunno, if I was a musician what I'd take from that is like...look outside the lines, don't be stuck on form and structure and genre and limitations always.  Its just organized or ordered noise.

    Plus the cover, John with his todger out on a white background, its fuckin' brilliant.  I dunno, I just like the mad, the daring, the extreme.  What matters is the intent behind it and I think the intent is wonderful.  And for it to come out of like, the popstar of all popstars, its just a beautiful thing, I mean can you imagine a popstar nowadays doing something so fuckin' weird and extreme avante garde?  Its what I love about John, he was just a complete madhead sometimes.  But its not just that, its not just weird for weirds sake, its the fuckin' idea behind it all. 

    I don't see why tape loops and backwards guitars gets all this credit but then this is somehow too far for people (not you, I'm saying the general reaction to Two Virgins).  Its seems to be to have a logical conceptual progression to it.

    Some Time In New York City by John Lennon.

    I love that album.  It was actually not that popular and, so some say, led John to take a backseat from music, or its lack of popularity played a part in the desicion.  The concept behind it is great though, to be like a news/newspaper where you write songs on current shit, put it out quickly etc, he was apparently going to make a number of albums in that vein if this had gone well but apparently it didn't.  I think thats a wonderful idea though, The Clash kinda semi picked up on that idea with their notions of being a 'news giving group'.

    The fuckin' talent it must take though, to make songs to order like that...and have them be fuckin' good.  John Sinclair, Attica State, Luck of the Irish (many people took offence to that shit), New York City (loved that track, very Chuck Berry), Woman is the N!gger of the World, all class tracks.  It might actually be my favourite John Lennon album.  His four best I'd say was Plastic Ono, this, Imagine and Two Virgins.

    I just want to say (despite being a Liverpool fan) had United and Liverpool stuck to their guns over "project big picture" they should have been chucked out off the league and told to get stuffed.

    It was pretty shocking and cynical. The last thing anyone should want is a few clubs holding all the power. The irony being City for example weren't anything about 15 years ago and United would find themselves (in current form) maybe in a relegation battle if there were less teams in the league this year.

    As for the bailout, I feel for the fans. However that said, maybe you should think about paying players and agents less at a time like this? That goes for them all. There are clubs paying a few hundred k a week to players that I'm supposed to think, "aw shucks, arem't they hard done by" at a time like this?

    Mesut Ozil got an 8 million bonus the other day. ain’t kicked a ball all season :shrugs:

    take bullying at school. it happens everywhere, and school does nothing, or only reluctantly so. The most logical thing, expelling the bullies (plural, this is important), does not happen. In fact, the blame is searched with the victim. The total opposite of what we might expect happens, and it happens everywhere? Why is that? Is it all part of a big scheme aimed at making people feel bad? Hardly. Again, schools don't give a damn about the bullies, or the victims. I learned, only just recently mind, that schools have a goal of profit too. They get subsidies from the state, and the amount of subsidies is directly in proportion to the amount of students in the school. So knowing that, if a school is confronted with, say, 15 bullies bullying 1 poor bastard. What are you gonna do as a school intended on making money? Expelling 15 bullies from school, effectively cutting in your own income, or will you advise the parents to take the victim to another school? the question answers itself, and silly me for ever wondering.

    The world is a hellhole, but we already knew that. it's everyone to their own. you need to know the rules, know the system, and then you can hurt these schools where they hurt the most: their money. Look up parents of other victims of bullying (which I did), gang up together, make 1 victim become 16 victims, and then these school principals start scratching their heads going "what the hell is going on here? what a situation"

    Why’d they expel me and my mate Mark for robbing the changing rooms then?  (along with another charge of selling shoplifted goods on school property) 😂

    far from lunacy. this was a well calculated business decision, aimed at increasing profit, or at least preventing loss.

    racial concerns are a massive part of the public consience these days, and if it matters to most of society, it matters to companies too.

    it's totally like how social media became a thing, and now I can even watch social media on my bloody television if I download the app (now that is lunacy, with 12 gb or so internal memory)

    These companies don't give one damn about these issues, however. they look at it from an abstract mindset. They discover that little fact from their history, then the reaction is calculated and clear as glass. not to act, would make shareholders restless.

    I don't think I'm even criticising these companies anymore: I think I would do the same lol. I like money.

    they did something and the have the receipts to prove. for now, that's enough. like I said: they don't care.

    Unless society would get even more stupid and uncalculated (unlikely, but we've seen stranger things happen)

    Totally agree with the money part and I’m surprised I didn’t look at it like that on first appraisal, totally correct I’d say...and I’m usually the one saying that kinda shit, on here and in life, its all about money end of the day, you should always (and I always try to) look at a given situation and think ‘right, whoose earning out of this?’, when you find that out a lot of other things become clear.

    I don't know. They are wokeing out. That is generally what they do, these companies. Greene King pubs incidentally found out that one of their founding figures from c. 1795 was connected with slavery so promptly stuck their staff on diversity and white privilege courses! We live in such times of utter lunacy!

    Ringtons Tea by the way. You'll thank me later. 

    By that rationale surely they should renounce England altogether, we had a fair hand in slavery, didn’t we?  What if your old man was a tea leaf, do you have to dedicate your life to public service as a pennance?  What fuckin’ good does a diversity course do for the poor ol’ sods that got their arses lashed up and down the cottonfields anyway?  
     

    Ringtons yeah?  I’ll bear it in mind.

  12. I've done a terrible thing of late.  Started drinking Yorkshire Tea, like the cloth camp wearing Corona spreading northern scum.  I dunno why but PG Tips (I'm all class, I know) suddenly became shit a few years back. 

    But yeah, milk, one sugar, strong.  Tea without milk is fuckin' disgusting.  As for coffee, black, no sugar.

    Crikey. Just witnessed a painful Tyson interview on morning telly (Piers Morgan). It was like pulling teeth getting an answer from him, and he seemed drugged or punch drunk. Don't know if somebody has slapped it up on youtube yet?

    In his defence it was like 3am in the morning over in America and he is 50 something and he’s been training like a beast.  He was scowling though, seemed more in a bad mood than anything.
