so, with respect, why are you here then?

Starbucks is just poisonous, big time. On top of that, their logo is a pagan goddess (a fertility goddess, oddly enough), which tells you their items are witchcraft.

i have some friends who got us some tea that they say tastes like coffee.

it’s awful but maybe you’ll like it?

if you’d like i can help you find better coffee

Massive companies demand uniformity in flavor. McDonald’s puts huge amounts of effort into making sure that a big mac in Maine tastes exactly the same as a big mac in LA.

this is also why in-n-out expanded very slowly for a while. it’s about making sure your supply chain can handle the growth and you can train the employees to keep the culture of the chain.

when they expanded too fast, their burgers got soggy. they haven’t fixed that.

ah, i didn’t know it had a name. I always go light or medium, just enough oat milk to change the color, and i’m happy enough at Sbux

yeah, they’re better than the coffee that’s been sitting all week in the urn in the outreach hall whatever the name is i forget at the church i play music at. that shit’s nasty but free coffee’s free coffee

that doesn’t sound like a problem at all

they fear beans

okay that’s cheating. I have a damn fine coffee shop i drink at when i’m feeling rich here. We were visiting the inlaws in Puyallup and omg. even the hotel coffee i did not want to leave.

agreed. figure out the stuff you enjoy, figure out the depth to which you want to explore it and then just enjoy yourself. fuck having to do everything perfect. we are creatures of wisp and whimsy and i’ll be damned if i have to stretch a perfectly round 15 inch pizza dough. no like really all of mine are wonky and oblong and bubbly and delicious and end up as triangular calzones anyways

what if you try French

you, uh, should choose words better. “i’m angry so your disability must have made you stupid” is pretty ableist

so when you get angry you get ableist, huh? i’m not so stupid you can call me stupid to my face and then believe you when you try to handwave it away.

i wake up every night at 1am and fall back asleep at 2:15ish. if i could fall asleep in the first place

growing up the train went by at 1. it was far enough away that it didn’t fully wake me up, but my circadians synced to it. when i moved out of the home for college I started waking up because I didn’t hear it and it took me until i went back home the first break i actually went home, I don’t remember which, and i slept again. i stayed up just because and at 1 there was a train. suddenly i it was obvious.

my parents eventually moved across town. far enough away that you couldn’t hear the train at night. when i moved in with my parents to help dad die peacefully and comfortably and to help ease the burden on mom, i noticed he was up every night at 1 too. funny how things work. it’s been 25 years now and i’m still doing it.

every jump forward, i have an “OH FUCK HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN AWAKE” at 315

what, the comments they edited after I explained shit? nah, that’s not how shit works fam

how can i break this into the abstract for you? Your complaint is: Look at how this feature of the system is abused by this small group. My explanation is: Look at how this feature of the system benefits society, and is used by the system en large. your argument is disingenuous because you are presenting the small group as society en large.

no, next day should be no school because the children are horribly behaved the day after halloween regardless of time change

it’s gotta be healthy poop, but yeah that should be okay

probably this
