Coffee has always disrupted my sleeping patterns, and because I sleep weird when I drink some it affects the next day’s bedtime and the day after that. I’ve seen many people who “need” their morning coffee to function and it’s just sad that they don’t remember their lives before caffeine.

IMO, coffee should be drank for pleasure, not for utility. You do you though.

I don’t know statistics, but my experience:
I drink 2-4 cups every day. It belongs to my rutuals. I enjoy it to get a time out.
But: I had times in my life without coffee. And as I remember, I felt better without coffee. I wasn’t as tired as now often.

So when you need a decision: don’t get into coffee. Its not as bad as alcohol ( in higher doses), but without coffee you ll feel better imo.

There is no definitive answer to this question since coffee drinking can have both positive and negative effects on health, depending on the individual. However, in general, coffee is considered to be relatively safe to consume in moderation. Some of the potential benefits associated with coffee drinking include improved mental alertness and concentration, decreased risk of certain types of cancer, and reduced inflammation. On the other hand, too much coffee can lead to adverse effects such as anxiety, insomnia, and an increased heart rate. Therefore, it is important to moderation when consuming coffee. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide whether or not coffee drinking is healthy for them in the long-term.
 
I’ve stumbled upon this old interview with a man I have a lot of respect for - mentioned him a number of times here, he owns the fish farm in Tarragona, Spain. Unfortunately, it is in Russian, and the automatic subtitles are awful. Nevertheless, I think it may be of use to somebody.

I can already see some 300 year old half-alive person in the metaverse grinding for their medical bills in the digital world
They pay their monthly digital dues to keep their body alive
And they type in chat "Now I can finally play the game"

Just predicting that eventually people will live super long lives aided by technology but it will be almost identical to the Matrix. The real one, not the metaphor. In a digital world, combining Neuralink, the Metaverse, MMORPGs, things like that...

Cocoa is a good alternative for coffee. It has far less caffeine than coffee and less than tea. And it tastes better too.
 
[ Nescafe Sales Representative joined the chat ]: I tried coffee some time ago and I found out I am more productive now. So yeah, the coffee is good for your body. How much do you want to buy? Two trucks is enough?

The up coming generation will have so many mental issues.

These apps are going to destroy their brains ability to cope with the real world and actual reality.
 
@MJ DeMarco I have a feeling this will be another favorite for you.

Mark Cuban: Don't use credit cards—if you do, 'you don't want to be rich'
Mark Cuban: Don't use credit cards—if you do, 'you don't want to be rich'

“Debit cards are ok if they don’t have fees.”

What I see is a total dodge of responsibility, like usual. “No, it’s not your fault for ringing up tens of thousands of dollars worth of shit at 37 percent interest… No it’s the credit card’s fault.”

I wish these personalities would deliver the uncomfortable truth. If you can’t stop yourself from blowing money you don’t have, that is a problem to address. You are not a victim of a credit card as Cuban would suggest.

He's not wrong...

CCs have high interest fees.
Most people rack up debt based on spending money they don't have.
If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging, right?

The issue with the article and interview is that it stops short of providing a real solution after you've solved problem #1.

Analogy, your kitchen is on fire, should you invest time in anything other than putting that fire out? No. Pay off credit card debt by having a personal loan first (that makes a lot of sense, financially). But once that is done, what is next?

*crickets*...

Why stop the article there? That's my problem with this advice. It is marginally helpful to the most financially illiterate people. It is for the masses of those who have no idea about personal finance 101. And even when they put their kitchen fire out (pay off CC debt), they will NEVER stop there. Now they'll have personal loan with a typical bank AND start racking up CC debt again until bankruptcy.

How does someone who achieved billionaire status not want to help others is beyond me. Mark, I know you are reading this, you can F*ck OFF.

Is this an actual "filter" that can be added at a simple click, or is it the skilled application of makeup?

A filter takes 2 seconds, a makeup job can take 2 hours.

It's the exact same picture so it's a filter.

People using such filters for anything else than out of entertainment must have some really messed up self-image problems. But hey, everyone today is beautiful, rich, and famous.

Should apply this study to driving in traffic, Utah would drop from first to last.

This may also indicate the cities where people are most skilled at pretending they're happy and that everything is fine. I doubt their facial recognition software can tell the difference between a fake smile and an authentic one (which is rarely a "cheery grin").
