Coffee is horrible

English breakfast tea is peak caffeine performance.


I tried cutting sugar out at one point. Ended up losing a stone I really couldn't afford to lose. I've an insanely fast metabolism, so apparently sugar is the only thing keeping me healthy.

If you need to gain weight, all you have to do is move to America; everything is packed full of sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

I'll happily consume the worst tea and coffee. I'm better off than any of you who hate one or the other.

[King Zultan]

People that put milk in their tea are the worst kinds of people, why would that take something good and put that horrid shit in it?

At this point, I don't think I need to gain weight; I would merely like to.

Besides, America is the last place I'd move to barring active warzones. It has a combination of poor diet and horrible healthcare which really does not appeal.

Huh, so I looked into it and some people genuinely don't get an endorphin high from exercise. That's... unfortunate.


Granted, I use the gym as an outlet for excess energy, not to ride a runner's high.

You have excess energy? I barely do anything and I require stimulants to have enough energy to do it!

My energy and optimistic outlook irks many 😅

Don't worry my dude. Those will fade with age.

Some anxiety issues, interestingly. They aren't coming up in the usual ways, instead they seem to present as palpitations, a general feeling of anxiety and some vague (And I'm pretty sure psychosomatic) paresthesia in the left arm.

I'd be more concerned if I hadn't had an ECG that showed absolutely bugger all wrong with my heart. Not even a fibrillation.

It's not a full-blown panic attack either. It's like my brain reminds me on occasion that they exist. It seems to be more common when I'm tired, which makes sense since the more tired I am, the harder it is to stop worrying, and when my heart does funny stuff like this it's worrying even though I know, objectively, there's nothing going on.

Suppose that this is just what my life's gonna be like. It's hard to completely get past any previous mental illness.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Also yeah, it's awful. It gets particularly bad when you live in a country, culture, and social circle that either worships or just really really enjoys working out, while you're there just... Trying to grit your teeth long enough to put the work in. And people just look at you cross-eyed if you don't respond to them as though you're having the time of your life.


I actually tried seeing if I could trick my brain at one point by promising myself food stimulus in the form of a treat after a successful workout. But when I got home, my brain was (as per usual) so fried from being at the gym that I completely forgot to treat myself

I'm getting a bit annoyed at the use of mobiles as the primary phone number. Up where I live my signal's very patchy, so I'll always ask to be rang on the house number instead and in spite of that, they never bloody do and I miss the phone calls.

[Frumple]

Yeah, I just don't give anyone my cell number. Like, I have one nowadays, but... I'm not going to answer it, period. So I just don't list it when people ask for a contact number.

[TamerVirus]

Call to the primary home number? It's a spam call
Call to my cell phone? It's a spam call

I agree that people who put milk into anything but cut-tear-curl black tea are demented. Green tea with milk and honey ??

[None]

A pot fulla Yorkshire? Splash that milk let's goooo

A pot fulla genmaicha? why would you cream this

Matcha smoothie? That's more cream than matcha but let's gooooo

[Frumple]

green tea with honey is great though...

I mean, milk, I'unno, I've ever actually tried milk in tea, so...

If folks like it, they're free to like it, I guess? Folks' taste buds work differently, some people can enjoy stuff others can't, like that whole soap cilantro thing. Maybe there's a milk in tea equivalent out there that just hasn't been researched?

[scriver]

Okay, so first, milk makes everything better, okay? It's fat. Fat makes everything taste more better in the way it tastes. That's science.

Secondly. It's not coffee unless you drink it off of a plate. Cups are for fancy smanshy newfangled Italians who doens't actually enjoy drinking coffee

[JoshuaFH]

I'll need a pretty goddamn huge ass plate for the quantity of coffee I like to drink.
