Do remains not matter because life is mind? Or can it matter because we live with the body?

Last take for the night... The fugees board is fucking awesome. I don't know if it's accidental or intentional, but compared to BSG we fall very far behind in both quantity and quality of the simple one liner. I don't know if they're drunk, sober or high as fuck but they spit out classic, quotable one liners each and every day. They kinda have the same issues we do, I wouldn't mind inviting a few over.

You are such a beautiful person! You search for the truth and the greater meaning of life. You make us question and think. Behind this drunk ass degenerate there is an individual who is on a constant search for both knowledge and existentialism. I really appreciate your posts. You're a good man.

I post a lot of bs and sarcastic shit here... But this isn't one of them.

You may win the thread with this nonsense.

Seriously. French fries are incredible. And you don't need ketchup. They should be good on their own.

Everyone knows that french fries are better with mayo than ketchup anyway.

You won't hear me arguing this point.

thank you my bro, this meant a lot to me and i was needing it. These past couple of days had been rough. Further realization and cementing of thought that my uh.. quest, is a niche in this kind of world. It's often a very lone path, consciousness work, but i'm only able to do it because of how connected every single fucking thing is. Everything is sacred. Silly as it sounds, yet so damn true, i've run a lot of parallels with GoT tales and the Stark kids, Arya as noone and the faceless gods, Bran warging w/ weirwood. The journey of it all.. search for direction and measure of progression, striving for knowledge, instilling wisdom, constantly moving forward and back, when you think you got it only to have a swift fall from grace, life fleeting without a trace, amidst all the variables that shake the inner creation of foundation. Worming your way through what's presented of the present, people on their own quest to infiltrate you. And then you look at the world around you, and then theres the build, an injured starving cat, the birds that rely on a kernel of corn, watering the crops, sick old people, smiling children, bliss in ignorance, struggle in a paradise, drowning in technology, rotting, destructive emotions, artists & performers expressing it all, the throes of politics, racism in the land of the free, the barcelona attack, natural disasters.. and it's all just wrapped up in itself, the fate of the world. And you think you know and you're gonna do something about it, but we're all held hostage in a stupid mind and a mortal body. Do we either wanna be something, to get somewhere, to quantify that we have it, or be nothing and have it all, to share? None of its ours. And none of its easy. And it's not even hard. It's a game, an illusion. That's not a revelatory thought, but it might be the only thing left to respect. Chaos is indeed an eternal fucking Ladder

Went to victory last night and had the had the fries which come with a malt vinegar aïoli. It was awesome. Five guys fries are awesome. TV, you must just be getting shitty fries.

When it comes down to it I'm a Barney Fife fan.

I think basketball would be unwatchable, with packed lanes, without the inducement of the 3pt line.

they could seriously move it back and/or eliminate the corner shot

I think basketball is unwatchable. If you think that rules are unevenly enforced in an NFL game, don't hurt yourself trying to process an NBA game.

Some teams are certainly more watchable than others. I remember the 90s NBA... so much less movement, with more grabbing and pushing.

Far, far too many replay reviews in sports. Sure, bad calls get corrected, but sports are a lot less entertaining. Reviews really disrupt the flow. Probably should just do away with it.
