i think we should have a moratorium on anyone who went to an ivy league writing personal essays. in fact i think the only people allowed to write essays should be former drug addicts who went to community college (me)

I am hearing that on his deathbed Dick Cheney received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahāda. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but God, and Mohammed is his prophet!

yeah man, I don't know what's wrong with you, when i try to visualize an apple, I see it from all sides simultaneously; i see all apples it could have been; i see it as one continuous chain of apple from tree from seed from apple all the way back to the proto-apple

My most controversial belief is that the flavor of Coca-Cola belongs in haute cuisine. It is a superb cocktail ingredient, an excellent addition to a sauce, and is generally quite unlike any other flavor humans have discovered. And it achieves all this without tasting chemical or artificial. It is like a natural ingredient from another world.

Christoph Waltz explaining Hegelian dialectics in a food YouTube show (in the context of ceviche) was not in my expectations today, but I’m all in for it
Whatever style pants look like shit to you are the pants you’re supposed to wear, and as soon as they start to look normal to you, those are not the right pants anymore. You should always be wearing pants you think look stupid.

Everybody's talking about the vaguely mystical masturbatory subculture where doomed young men find self-destructive community.

One time my friend’s dad, who I was meeting for the first time, asked me how my flight was and I told him it was a long journey on which I experienced the full range of human emotions, and he scoffed and said “I doubt that. I doubt you experienced jouissance, for example”
