LA probably has hotter asian girls fyi

alexander's steakhouse in cupertino is good, might not be the best steak I've ever had but def in the running

wanted to try some wagyu beef but too expensive

I thought sons of anarchy was cool at first because of the hamlet thing going on with jax, gemma and clay. but after season 2 I just couldn't possibly see where the show was going after that finale and lost interest

the point I was trying to get at was that asking the question "how does consciousness interact with its environment" will necessarily involve taking into account the things which you say you are not interested in. I mention modern physics because strange phenomena observed in the early 21st century and subsequent attempts to explain them call into question the very nature of existence, observation, and consciousness itself.

everytime I'm back here I'm reminded of how boring this place is

I really liked made in hong kong, kinda dug how low budget everything was. definitely agree about the wong kar wai vibes, mainly I think it's because the focus is on life in a large asian city and the subsequent lifestyle created by that environment. main character had some steezy fits too

my perception of homeless ppl changed forever after I saw this old dude buy the cheapest fifth of vodka with all spare change and he gave me the saddest grin then said "live on for another one eh?"

get well soon

"I forgive you"

Personally I think there's something to the unconscious collective idea, where individual consciousness is a single manifestation of some strange energy/consciousness. Similar to the ideas found in string theory where all particles are one "end" of a string, while the rest in imperceptible but still influencing the string as a whole.

Modern physics is basically subsumimg these types of discussions IMO, the influence of a conscious observer in changing probabalistic outcomes seems to be part and parcel of perceived realities, leading to chicken and egg type scenarios. Does the universe exist without consciousness? Or is it that the perceptible universe only exists within/due to consciousness?

Hahaha I do it out of principle still

Whoops sorry meant to plus rep, browsing on my phone

waking up to bad news

I'm planning a eurotrip with some friends next summer, down to try and meet up if this happens

no scope w/ awp

just heard this tune, "you know how I know? cause everyones in rick owens"

grind up some coarse salt onto the steak an hour before you cook it, it will pull the water out of the meat and help it cook faster/more evenly
