BBQ SAUCE!

good idea actually

I like boiling my sweet potatoes with cinnamon and a little brown sugar

Realistically I could add honey, but honey is like crack to me. I was hoping for something on a bit more of the tomato zest side.

I eat a sweet potato every day, but I wish that there was some sort of tomatoy thing, which would give it that really mouth watering flavor whenever I eat it, without adding to many calories. I mean, it's pretty obvious that I could just add sour cream, but I want a healthy option.

Identity is ultimately meaningless and empty. At their root, all beings are absolutely the same.

I'd stab you in the face if you made such a hackneyed statement in front of me. I have no time for ignorance.

Take some time to contemplate the root of being and you might find that sense of identity you cling onto so strongly may start to diminish.

Your argument just makes declarative statements and no explanation of why you think it's true, then you follow it up with "if you just contemplate the root of being". Seriously, you're wasting my time.

I really hate it when people try to tell me that I’m not special. I don’t understand why people hate “special snowflakes” or seem to insist that no one is really that different from each other, that your perceived individuality is just fake. There seems to be a connection with feeling this way and being a conservative (hence the hatred of “tumblr special snowflakes”).

I think there’s a clear discrepancy between people who behave differently and people who fit a certain status quo. There’s obviously a motivation to conform to societal standards, which means inversely that there’s a non conformity, an individual approach to behavior. I think that pretty much every person has inside of them a very distinctive personality, and no two people are alike, no two people share the exact same characteristic traits no matter how similar they may be. This is true in every aspect of life, no one person is going to be identical to you, no piece of music fits identically into what you’re feeling.

If anything I think the mentality of conformity makes people think that there isn’t really anything special about themselves, but that’s because people often think of themselves in terms of what is normal, and possibly push out unique and individual thoughts, thoughts which distinguish themselves from other people, pushed out of their mind and marked as nonsense probably on an almost sub conscious reflex, before they even come to fruition.

If you’ve ever tried to have a friendship, or remember when you were first getting into music, you’d remember that there isn’t really anything relates to exactly how you feel, or exactly who you are as an individual. People themselves are always very different from one another, and in fact it’s because that people are different that they often find that they love each other, and it’s because of the music’s uniqueness that makes you experience wonderful alien feelings. To be told that there’s nothing but sameness seems like not only a baseless assertion, born out of nothing but ignorance and dumb pseudo intellectual strong manning, it’s anatomically incorrect.

Once more, I feel that denying a person the fact that they’re an individual is nothing more than group think propaganda, probably a sort of sub conscious control mechanism which people enforce on each other without really thinking. It’s as though by nature of being in a society there were some mechanism, possibly out of the biological pattern seeking behavior of the human brain, that makes human beings not only conform to, but enforce the idea that we’re not individuals. It makes no sense, and it’s an idea which has no bearing on reality, and really no practice purpose.

If everyone is taught that they can’t think differently and that there’s nothing special about any of us, how could someone produce art if they think that everything has already been said and there’s nothing unique and individual about them? I find it to be a deeply demeaning and demoralizing perspective to hold on life.

MI AMOR LOVE MON CHERI MUAH MUAH MUAH ♥ YOU ABSOLUTE QT

I AM BACK FOR YOU

Hi again lol.

I don’t understand how a human being could be judged on the validity of the things they say, when people are very subjective in their understanding of things that are said. It would be nice if every person was simply understood, because they said the thing and people understand where it is that they’re coming from. It seems so incredibly illogical, and it is without purpose that human beings try to impose their points of view on other human beings. The only people who can know absolute truth, is a scientist who has the tools to measure the entire universe. Such a scientist doesn’t exist, yet people don’t even respect that science is the only method in which that we can understand the world. It’s this sort of subjectivity which frustrates me with other people, because not only are people incapable of experiencing an objective understanding, human beings try to pretend their logic is absolute, and use it as a standard above all others. How foolish and arrogant and self righteous people are.

I come from an extremely individualistic point of view, and everyone who doesn’t share the individualistic point of view is invariably an utter moron. I was watching an interview with Salvador Dali today, with Mike Wallace. I was so inspired by the man, who rejected the group think mentality, was outspokenly himself. In our world, where religion and conformity and group think are seen as the norm for many people, for me, a creative minded person I see this as the utter destruction of human dignity. What other dignity do we have, if we’ve surrendered ourselves to the will of the ignorant, stupid conformists? Not only loss of dignity, the loss of rights, the loss of will, the loss of enjoyment in life, the loss of so many immeasurable things. For a creative and individual person, not a stupid sheep, creativity is everything. It’s the enjoyment of life, to be able to express yourself, it’s the will of a creative mind to think differently, when that’s lost what is there to enjoy, when the core of your being has been denied and contradicted by ignorant fascists?

You think I’m joking, you think this whole writing is dumb, you think that I’m making a point which doesn’t even need to be made. I’ll tell you though, discrimination against creative, individualistic people is alive and well today and it lives in the fears of the minds of all the hive mind mentality of conformists. It goes back to my very first point. A person who is not understood simply for who they are, are misunderstood by ignorant idiots. When you don’t understand something and it threatens you and makes you afraid, you make it “wrong” and “immoral” and sometimes even “creepy”. When you are simply you, and people don’t understand you, and they reject you the individualist, they’re anti-individuality. People are judged only on how well they fit the standard norms, by the conformist. If you have ever been discriminated against because someone doesn’t like you because of what you have to say, then you’ve become a victim of conformity. It’s a fate that all people will have to deal with when living in this stupid shit hole of a planet.

So, perhaps you think that it’s reverse discrimination, to discriminate against someone who is discriminating against you by disliking their discrimination. The argument is a false paradigm. You were discriminated against, and the people who discriminated against you did so because they were hating individualists, and because they are conformists. An individualist who has been discriminated against by a conformist feels a sense of injustice, which is different than discrimination. Everyone who feels they’re being treated unfairly feels a sense of injustice, by definition. This all goes back to one of the very first points I made, which is that science is the only true way of understanding the universe completely and not even science has a complete understanding of the universe. It’s that fear of blind spots which also exists in the conservative mentality, and fear and hate mongering conservatives infect the mainstream populous opinion, because they’re an ignorant and stupid people. I, however, am intelligent, because as I believe it was Thomas Sowell who said that it takes considerable knowledge to realize your own ignorance. I don’t assume to know everything, but if you have been paying attention, you’ll realize that is exactly the point. I don’t expect any of the simple minded to understand this though.

I was just reminiscing on a world that I imagined a while ago. That world where everyone simply understands each other because they are what they are. A world where you could walk down the street with no clothes, dancing and waving around your arms, and people wouldn’t think anything of it. What I propose, is a world of complete subjectivity and meaninglessness. In that world, we would really reach new depths of understanding, because in a perverse way, when you think about a person who is trying to subvert norms and standards is really trying to bring back the world to it’s natural order. It’s really the conformists who’s world is absurd, they believe in the absurd. An “absurd” person, a non comformist, is actually fighting back against a truly absurd person, because that is the natural order of the world, is total meaninglessness, subjectivity, and absurdity. This isn’t to say that 2+2 doesn’t equal 5, but I think you’ll see that even the laws of time and space are flexable, they take considerable knowledge to understand, but even then we realize our own ignorance.

And I say, good.

Capitalism: the desire to hoard money, not give your fair share to other people who need it, and say "fuck everyone who isn't me".

Starting now.

I'm not sure if you faggots care but this album is 10/10

YouTube

No, it's not actually very good. It's too chaotic and there's absolutely no feeling being evoked by those shreaks which sound more like obnoxious whiny teenage angst manifestations than actual vocals. The gutteral pig vocals at the end and the chugga chugga guitar riffs were sort of embarrassing. There's an effect on my brain that I get from listening to the technical wankery of those sorts of guitars, which don't allow for any feeling to be born, and instead grinds the senses like cold rusty gears, painfully.

Opinion noted and ignored. One of the most creative and inspired albums one heard in a long time.

I should add, that being chaotic isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just that the way the guitar wank is sprinkled in there makes it sound like a ruckus more than a carefully assorted algebra of discordant music. Some bands truly are able to produce a sort of beauty in chaos, creating a sense of disarray but also a feeling that everything is exactly where it should be. That is a true work of genius, when you hear Le Sacre Du Printemps by Igor Stravinsky, or Obscura by Gorguts (who maintains raw intensity, without becoming showy. It's pure artistic expression, and no fluff. Perhaps the same could be said about My hero, Bela Bartok, and his string quartets). I think that's what the arrangements in that song amount to, is pure fluff. Grating, steel wool fluff being jammed into my brain.

It takes a few listens honestly but once it clicks the album gets me super hyped.

I've probably listened to it front to back five times in the last two days

I have a highly tuned musical ear and a lot of musical experience. I know fluff when I hear it.

Check this out Jimmy.

I read this year, the metamorphosis by franz kafka, the wasp factory by ian banks, in the miso soup by ryu mirakami, and the stranger by albert camus. I think the book I will read next will be lolita, but I haven't enjoyed the past 6+ books I tried and I don't have high hopes that I will even finish it. I started a pretty big library of books with money from my last birthday, you can see most of the list of books I own in the thread on the serious forum titled vote for the next book I read, or something.

Although, come to think of it, I have many more books than the ones on that list.
