I truly don't mean this in an offensive way to you, thebiglebowski, in any way, and I'm not saying there needs to more immigration (I think it's a very complex answer with no straightforward answer). BUT, that statement is very uninformed, ignorant, and around the wrong company could be quite offensive. As a Manager at several different workplaces in several different industries, and as a data collection manager for the government regarding immigrants and their education the idea that they are all (or even as a majority) unskilled laborers is simply incorrect. The reason they end up in all of the unskilled jobs is not that they themselves are unskilled, but that their education does not correlate/is not recognized in north america. The majority of the immigrants I've worked with or surveyed had skills to offer that our over regulated industries would not accept. Please know that I'm not saying that regulations should be relaxed, again it's a very complex issue without a straightforward answer. EDIT: I still feel like this is worded too strongly, it's really not flamebait or an invitation to argue. I just truly think that many people are misinformed when it comes to this point. There are tons of Doctors, Engineers, Scientists, etc, that drive cabs, own gas stations, and work at corner stores because their education is not recognized and they don't have the means to go through school again.3 points

I'm finally getting around to post what my current record area looks like. My wife and I live in a small Miami apartment so this is actually our dining room area too (complete with wine rack). The 7" collection has been moved to a set of shelves in the "office" area of the main room. My setup has gone through a ton of changes over the years. Here's a look. 2012-2014 2011 2009-2010 2008-2009 2008 and before don't have photos because it was nothing to be excited about. It was a mix of boxes/crappy shelves.3 points

Dine Alone 10 Year Bundles (IT IS FINISHED.)
Duff and one other reacted to TheGhostOfRandySavage for a topic
Fuuuuuck off. Seriously. Obviously people know they can cancel their order, but after waiting this long why would they? We're not allowed to vent a little bit about waiting a year after plopping down $100+ for some records? It's cool that you have your copy of AWRH, but that doesn't change the fact that it's frustrating for those still waiting on their stuff to get very little communication regarding this purchase. Add to that the fact that if these are really meant to be "bonuses for waiting so long," how did they pop these fuckers out so quickly compared to the stuff we're actually waiting on? Doesn't add up, does it? Add to that the fact that a lot of people ordered the bundle specifically for the "purty lookin' Moneen variant," (guilty because I'm a sucker) and they've been showing up in regular orders, possibly making it so that some of the bundles may not get them... Yeah, seems pretty reasonable to let off a little bit of steam about how poorly these releases have been handled. Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not even all that angry about the wait and all that shit. It's a minor annoyance, but it's whatever.2 points -

There Will Be Hell Toupée! (The Donald Trump Thread)
Tommy and one other reacted to thebiglebowski for a topic
The world was a pretty different place in 1900. America was being developed, the industrial revolution was in full swing, and we needed labor. Now that we are a developed country for the most part, there isn't a need for an indefinite amount of labor. We actually need to go in the other direction or we are going to destroy the planet -- produce less, consume less, and do things in a smarter, more environmentally friendly way. The skills the illegal immigrants bring don't help us in this direction. The legal ones frequently do, though.2 points -

The whole illegal immigration thing seems like such a smoke-screen issue. If your job is in danger of being taken by an uneducated, non-english speaker, a fence isn't going to solve your problems. If people were really worried about it, they would go after the employers using defacto slave labor. It's just a convenient scapegoat to avoid addressing the real job issues in the US. The reality is that efficiencies put us in a place where it takes fewer people to produce all the stuff and services that all the people need. People cling to full time employment for various reasons, but health insurance is a big one. Decouple healthcare services from employment and see what happens. You may find that the free market solves the problem by eroding the 40 hour work week.2 points

No This Is Patrick and one other reacted to himynameisShane for a topic
I'm totally fine with immigrants coming into the country - its how this country was formed, but in my opinion they need to come in legally. Yes the current system sucks and should be addressed, but he is right an illegal immigrant is still illegal anyway you slice it. The current system should be addressed/fixed, and the immigration laws should be enforced.2 points -
I honestly don't get why people feel like they need to come on to the release thread for an artist they don't like, just to talk about how they don't like them and why the artist is bad. Like if you don't like Kanye West, fair enough. Not everyone's cup of tea. But why the hell are you here complaining about him??? Do people on here just get off on making people feel bad about the artists they like? Do people just hate the artist that much? I think that's a big part of the negative attitude on this site is just people going on releases from artists they don't like, not even listening to the album/project, but still complaining about how bad the artist is. Like why is that necessary.2 points

I do not want healthcare separated from workplace. We had to use the marketplace for healthcare this last year for a period and it was more expensive, did less for us, and we are still waiting for forms to do our taxes. My experience with it has been a mess. Healthcare for us worked a lot better provided by the workplace.1 point -

Lathe Cuts?
andy. reacted to jacketscience for a topic
Wow my grammar in that previous post is bad. The test cut I have is black, but I think the 10 actual cuts will be clear? When I get a lil' more info to throw together, I'm going to put a pre-order up for 11$ (free shipping) which will include the record and a 6x6 inch mini canvas painting that will be thrown in the sleeve. The painting will be a series of 10 paintings called "10 Paintings of Fruit 2016" that will be 10 paintings of the same group of fruits. Each record out of 10 will get a paiting out of 10. I will think of other fun things to put in with each order as well. To clairfy, this is not a fruit-themed record. I'll let you know when that time comes soon ANDY AND $40 you ain't gonna miss out!1 point -

Bacharach. reacted to Green Tea Papi for a topic
I'm pleased to announce that my debut album What if I Told You Nothing is Quite What it Seems is now available for streaming on Bandcamp. This album is meant to serve as the apex for this project thus combining everything that was explored within it, but more importantly this album is a bridge and or companion piece for my upcoming release from my new project. That project is currently slated for a late summer Early fall release. Depending on how this project is received I'm more than willing to release this on cassette but I plan to release this two projects together when the second is released. Thank you so much for everything thus far.1 point -
