I love coffee.
I switched to English Breakfast last week to experiment and, holy hell, I was not prepared for the withdrawals: headache, exhaustion, light sensitivity, generally feeling incapable.
Not recommended.
Though, I will say that black tea has a much smoother high compared to the zing of my espresso.

LOL. I love it how people go “Checkmate, Alden” without realizing that’s a laughable self-own.
Slay, Queen.
Hard disagree.
My first degree is in Creative Writing and my employees, customers, and vendors, and partners all benefit from my ability to express my thoughts well, as do I.
A good liberal arts degree teaches critical thinking as much as the subject it’s taught under. Grammar, logic, and rhetoric are a set of skills that are foundational to organized thought, persuasion, and self expression. Let me not also forget to mention that it’s wonderful to READ LITERATURE in an academic environment in order to develop an appreciation for art… and also personal development. nostr:note1dr23h2enydwsycgtj5pyre80vcxpm8k7pvkvynzy3jywt6dzn4hshqlhm0
No, Dave, you see, the FBI conspired with Antifa to hire crisis actors to dress up like MAGA and storm the capital. It wasn’t an insurrection, but if it was, it was done by the Deep State.
wAkE uP shEepLE!
MORE FUCKS GIVEN
The second sentence is missing its final punctuation.
It shouldn’t bug me as much as it does.
I should probably just follow the first sentence’s command
The Monopoly example is better than the pond analogy, which didn’t make much sense (at least in this short clip).
It’s funny how much that game taught me about money, banking, real estate, risk, taxes, cash flows, liabilities, competition, general investing, and more that was directly applicable to my life.
Go easy.
1. Have a hot shower like normal, lather, then rinse with cold water for 30 seconds.
Do this for 3 or 4 consecutive days, when you are not washing your hair.
2. When you’re ready for the next step, start with a cold shower and EASE INTO IT, to begin. Turn the water on to as cold as you can reasonably tolerate. It should be uncomfortable but not unsafe. Stand in the shower, it directly under the stream and bring water to your arms and legs with cupped hands. Next, splash water onto your face, then chest.
Now, you’re ready to go under… remember to breathe!
Stand under the stream for 1 minute, letting the water hit your head, face, shoulders and back.
After this is done, you can turn the hot water on if you need to do your hair.
Oh, and Google also violated antitrust laws.

I have a theory: not everything is a conspiracy.
Google dominates the market because they outcompeted other services on search function. The results were fast, relevant, and unlike anything Lycos, Infoseek, or Ask Jeeves were serving in the mid to late 90s, and early 2000s. Google was just better and everyone knew it. By 2004, searching for something on the Internet became colloquially known as “Googling.” (Note that a googol is just a big number: 10 to the power of 100. The company came up with that as a nod to the power of math. It’s not a verb. *We,* the consumer, came up with that, based on how much we were using the service.)
Since then, now two decades later, Google is now Alphabet. They have acquired and built a suite of products and services, while improving Search, at no charge to the consumer. In many cases, these products are superior (by measure of convenience) to paid products built by software companies, like Microsoft. Alphabet will continue to dominate (in any area) until a better alternative comes along that is cheaper, faster, or more useful. That’s how the free market works. Here, I’m leaving aside government restrictions such as China’s Great Firewall to both promote its own alternatives and prevent its citizens from viewing pro-democracy content (e.g. 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre).
Before you prepare your tinfoil hat, recognize the fact that consumers don’t like spending money. They will choose a free version of something if it means they pay with an abstract concept like “attention” or “privacy”. Alphabet knows this. Now you do, too.
I like uncensorable money as much as the next bitcoiner, but the sentiment (as expressed here) is childish and woefully shortsighted. It’s notable only insofar as this guy is uncompromising. I don’t remember his name, and don’t care to. He runs the same shtick every time he’s on a stage, and I just want to say, to anyone who looks up to him, “Be careful who you take life advice from.”
Uncompromising anger isn’t how we win. It’s not even how we protect our interests.
