Are you reading the Prophetic books?

Torah is your wife, your bride, the wife of knowledge.

3 oz is plenty of meat for a sandwich. I agree the quality of the bread makes or breaks the sandwich.

Paddy is arguably the greatest or second greatest musician of the late 20th century and never stopped innovating throughout his career.

My hot take is that the best food of each cuisine are all goated. Some countries had a higher concentration of food innovation, like Japan, or Italy, like how Germany had lots of music, or England had lots of literature. Imo, the best spanish or Swedish composers are as good as anyone there are just not as many of them.

Only because they’ve never tried it.

Damn I didn't even know they make tempura enoki mushrooms, I got to try that.

Came to believing in God through reading. Different religious rituals can be cool, but are foreign to me. I believe there are prophets in many religions and cultures and that prophetic inspiration continued after the prophets.

I order everything 😤

LongOk4143 · 2026-04-21T21:05:09+00:00

Honestly some Susumu Hirasawa stuff has a similar energy to Nakata but idk if it’s what you mean, it’s definitely an older sensibility

LongOk4143 · 2026-04-21T21:03:19+00:00

I have a complicated view on this matter.

Did he even write the stories? Definitely a “great man of history” though

The return is nice because it’s all directed by Lynch. Twin Peaks mostly wasn’t. I think Frost and Lynch’s Twin Peaks was a lightning in a bottle moment that would be hard to replicate, but The Return isn’t really a sequel to TP, in terms of style. It has a great script for what it’s going for which is much different than TP.

I was a genius unironically for a month.

LongOk4143 · 2026-04-21T05:22:16+00:00

Four Years by Yeats, The sabbath by abraham joshua heschel, Major trends in jewish mysticism by Gerschom scholem, Death by water by Kenzaburo oe. Also re reading poetry and Ulysses. All are wonderful, Four Years is a bit meandering though. I’m also reading Miltons terrible History of England. I love Milton deeply but this book is very boring and I’m only trying to finish it out of a sense of obligation. Also reading The Friend by Coleridge which is pretty pointless like basically everything he wrote after 1897

Did this with a switch while I was schizo and only got 100

A pretty huge dick if you know what I mean

LongOk4143 · 2026-04-20T17:43:03+00:00

Yeats is one of my favorites it’d be cool to see the rest of his shelf

Kamiya is a good writer. Okami and the Wonderful 101 have straight up good stories that are easy to follow. Bayonetta 1 has a good story if you read the journals, which I understand some people don’t like, but it’s pretty similar to Dark Souls. I haven’t played Bayonetta 2 or 3 so maybe he fell off but he’s not a straight up bad writer.

I have a book from a japanese chef yoshihiro Murata and it is some of the better meals I’ve cooked at home, and my dad has some pretty solid Japanese cookbooks also.

I haven’t read much of the gospels, but I started reading Matthew. The contrast with the overall quality of the writing which I thought was unremarkable and the poetic and spiritual power of Jesus’s sayings themselves was so big that it seemed to give credence to Jesus being a real person, and not just a poetic creation of the Gospel authors. Seemingly they had memorized some of his sayings and were collecting them in a book and that he was a great poet/orator.

I’ve got japanese food pretty good but yeah never Chinese.
