trump just announced a 30-day incoming travel ban on foreign nationals, and i had already bought tickets to see squarepusher on apr 9, his first us tour date, conveniently just a few days shy of the ban. the fucking shit ticket site charged me $25 or $30 in "service fees" and then had the gall to ask me if i'd like to insure for $8. i'm sure if i had checked it, they still would not give me my money back, smugly claiming it was for weather incidents or squarepusher catching a sniffle but, hey, you never know. maybe they'll just credit my visa. and donald trump will develop a sense of humility |

japan is starting apr 1st. wouldn't surprise me if that gets pulled as well honestly, best i can hope for is a rescheduling and my tickets honored. really sucks because last time i cared enough to bother with something like this was squarepusher in 2012 or something |

Its ok doesn't apply to uk citizens |
||||||||
|

best get out to "bangface weekender," er... *flip, flip* tomorrow... or chance it that the uk won't be on lockdown in may |

good luck making any changes to your flight, i tried to cancel and the wait time was 18 hours to talk to an agent travel insurance probably wont cover it, its considered an "epidemic", they did have a 10 day grace period so the insurance premium itself was refundable |

oh, i wasn't flying anywhere. and i'm mostly just mad squarepusher finally made the album i wanted him to and he's touring again and i can afford it for the first time in a while and now there will probably be nothing, no squarepusher but, come to think of it, he's probably out more than $80 in tickets and fees, which is also sad. i should order the vinyl |

oh, you mean the travel ban doesn't apply to UK citizens? that's nice, but i'm still not sure he'll come with all going on |

Bit of a stretch to suggest Trump's exempted the UK because he's got golf courses there but... whatever feeds into the "It's definitely Trump's fault and not the filthy Chinese and isn't it odd that the countries worst affected are the least sanitary but hey Trump Will Get Us All Killed" narrative. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as of the moment, vietnam has tested more people for coronavirus, because trump buried his head in the sand for weeks out of fear of disrupting the stock market, and, yeah, now it's pretty fucked: but, fair enough, it seems more like it was about zones of europe than his golf courses. as if it matters |

i'm supposed to be going to 808 state in two weeks but it'll be cancelled for sure. things will be much worse in the uk in two weeks time. i've got a gig on wednesday, kind of hope it doesn't get cancelled because i love playing live so much.another gig in may will surely be cancelled. it sucks. at least we're all healthy for now. hope squarepusher is determined to just delay the shows and play later... |
||||||||

I went to an 808 state show once and there was about six people. Felt bad for them, they were pissed off after the show. |

The Talmud, Midrash, and the Kabbalistic work, the Zohar, state that the 'deadline' by which the Messiah must appear is 6,000 years from creation. According to tradition, the Hebrew calendar started at the time of Creation, placed at 3761 BCE. The current (2019/2020) Hebrew year is 5780 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_6000 |

you saw the videos in Africa with the locust swarms as well? |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yes apparently china are sending some kind of bird in masses to eat up the locusts perhaps we should round up our seagulls and send them to africa |

do you believe earth is only 5780 years old umbro? i'm not looking for argy bargy but i think most geologists would disagree |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can believe that humanity as we know it is about 6000 years old. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nobody knows how old earth is... besides the year 6000 is not about counting the age of the earth. according to jewish law there has to be appointed a jewish king. even if you don't believe in God, jewish law is a tangible thing. it's inevitable that there will be a jewish king in the next 220 years. maybe it's not the case that he will solve all the problems in the world, but all the problems in the world will be solved by the time he arrives. |

closest i've seen is a jewish american princess; think we have a ways to go yet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you strip away the jewish angle, imagine what life would be like in 220 years. will humanity destroy itself or regress to something backwards? or will most diseases be cured and space travel be possible? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess im optimistic about humanity's future |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find it hard to give a shit about climate change or merging the nations together into a world government. i just think "oh yeah the jewish messiah will do that". my peers dont believe in God so they dont conceive of such things. ya'll are pessimists. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when it comes to god, i have to tweak the x-files tagline a tad: i want to believe, but i'm not quite that daft. it would be so much more comforting to believe in god, but, no, it drowns in a sea of logic and i just can't sorry |

there's a fossil record of homo sapiens going back a lot longer than 6000 years mate, wiki sez around . i listened to a podcast recently called about neanderthals which may also be of interest |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do believe in some things, though, like the universe trending towards greater informational coherency |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well you dont have to believe in God. in jewish law only the jews have to believe in god. there are literally laws about it for the jews. there's no law saying non-jews have to believe in God. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont know how old the earth is. i dont really disagree with you belb. it's not clearly written. like i said it's not 6000 years ago that's interesting but 220 years from now. |

Following the development of radiometric age-dating in the early 20th century, measurements of lead in uranium-rich minerals showed that some were in excess of a billion years old.[6] The oldest such minerals analyzed to date—small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia—are at least 4.404 billion years old.[7][8][9] Calcium–aluminium-rich inclusions—the oldest known solid constituents within meteorites that are formed within the Solar System—are 4.567 billion years old,[10][11] giving a lower limit for the age of the Solar System. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_Earth |

out of interest how do you see the world being in 220 years time? according to judaism there will be a jewish king that can literally interact with life and death. god will judge people and the righteous majority will live again. according to me there will be cool shit like deep space travel and advanced tech that you couldnt dream of. it will be a land of plenty for those that make it and the previously dead will mix with the living. |

Jew literally means believer in God basically they were destined to believe in God and spread knowledge of God in the world. the other religions are fake(not that they are completely wrong about everything). jesus wasn't the messiah. mohamed is a false prophet (illegal in jewish law) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So was there ever a messiah in your opinion? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's coming by the year 6000 in the jewish calendar, which is 220 years from now |
||||||||
|

I know you’re scared of the power of Jews, and I respect that. But you can’t deny how special Jesus was, and how important he still is. |

you've got one thing right, i am a pessimist! we'll be lucky to survive as a species for that long imo, if nuclear war breaks out at any point we're all fucked. we've come perilously close, read |

Imagine a pandemic with the numbers of mortality reversed! It’s not that unplausible. The mother of all viruses, airborne and one that kills 98% of people. Of course we have the asteroid conundrum, one the bible discusses, am I right, umbroman? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
jesus and mohamed, nothing against them or their followers. they're much better people than me. im stuck without a religion. id say, dont try to convert to judaism. thats what i was going to do right before the voices started. jewish law is dangerous, crazy dangerous, because they are the laws of God. |

I need a beer. Fun fact: I was reading the book of revelation when I had my heart attack. |

if you've lived a good life you will eventually know of the Jewish king, because he is the one who will conquer death. but people like hitler, who killed 6 million believers in the true God, go to a place called sheol and stay there in a state of extreme pain and humiliation .i could talk about this stuff all night but i guess it winds you all up and i dont want to do that really. |

The difference between you and me, is that my Concept of a God would be one that is understanding and forgiving. One that even understands the vilest of persons.The story of Jesus fits pretty well With that. Empathy and forgiveness is the key to it all. |

pneumonic plague (as opposed to the bubonic version) had a mortality rate of about 95% if i remember my gcse history right. we've been due a pandemic for ages, 2% is getting off lightly if that's all we lose |
