ok. if you believe this, and believe somebody gonna click on a 20 minute yoko ono song, then you are cuckoo.

 

He may have written shit like "Woman is the Nigger of the World", but that was in his solo career. The only sort of thing that's reflected Lennon's personality, as far as I can remember, in the Beatles' discography is "Run for Your Life" off Rubber Soul. It's pretty easy to separate Lennon the person from his music with his Beatles output, as opposed to someone like Grunt

 

17 minutes isn't even long! Yoko has a ton of other great material anyway

deux do you enjoy this:

 

Yeah. Zorn's accompaniment isn't as fitting to her vocal improv as the krautrock-esque rhythms of Fly - it seems to take the forefront while Yono's improvisations echo it - but it's still pretty neat

 

Her more "normal" rock stuff is pretty great too

How do chicks wear dry denim without washing it for a long time

 

I've always been curious. Never dated a superfuturian/denim nerd but I'm totally okay with that

poor ornette

 
 

he's probably not rolling in his grave because he's alive

yes, paypal will pretty much always assume the buyer is right and screw you over

 

 

this gets thrown around a lot but has this ever actually happened to anyone here? i.e. you sold something to somebody and upheld your end of the bargain but they still fucked you with a dispute.

it happened to me before and i dont know what the solution is, paypal definitely won't change their approach to this anytime soon, i rarely sell online anymore and if i do then i insist on shipping with tracking/signature on receipt as well as marking full value

 

the fees you have to pay for doing that pretty much mean items under like $200 are hardly even worth selling, but that's just how it is

internet is throwing a fit over paypal's updated user agreement fwiw. mostly the robocall / text part:

Amendments to the PayPal User Agreement

The update to the User Agreement is effective July 1, 2015. A summary of changes is provided below. You can also click HERE to review the complete terms of the revised User Agreement in its entirety.

  • Section 1.10

    We are updating terms of the PayPal User Agreement regarding the means through and purposes for which we may contact you.

    The revised section 1.10 reads as follows:

    1.10 Calls to You; Mobile Telephone Numbers. You consent to receive autodialed or prerecorded calls and text messages from PayPal at any telephone number that you have provided us or that we have otherwise obtained. We may place such calls or texts to (i) notify you regarding your account; (ii) troubleshoot problems with your account (iii) resolve a dispute; (iv) collect a debt; (v) poll your opinions through surveys or questionnaires, (vii) contact you with offers and promotions; or (viii) as otherwise necessary to service your account or enforce this User Agreement, our policies, applicable law, or any other agreement we may have with you. The ways in which you provide us a telephone number include, but are not limited to, providing a telephone number at Account opening, adding a telephone number to your Account at a later time, providing it to one of our employees, or by contacting us from that phone number. If a telephone number provided to us is a mobile telephone number, you consent to receive SMS or text messages at that number. We won’t share your phone number with third parties for their purposes without your consent, but may share your phone numbers with our Affiliates or with our service providers, such as billing or collections companies, who we have contracted with to assist us in pursuing our rights or performing our obligations under this User Agreement, our policies, applicable law, or any other agreement we may have with you. You agree these service providers may also contact you using autodialed or prerecorded calls and text messages, as authorized by us to carry out the purposes we have identified above, and not for their own purposes. Standard telephone minute and text charges may apply if we contact you.

yeah. my old paypal is still -300 after a couple of months actually, but i just use a family member's account. no way i'm paying it back unless i come into life insurance money. guy from brooklyn (of course) said my item was fake even though i showed them an official receipt from the flagship store.

 

they used call me like twice a day (just sporadically in the week now), but my phone is always silent and facedown so it's not that annoying.

 

sometime i transfer a dollar or two to be rude
