I got no real hope for humanity, too much greed and political corruption. Maybe if China achieves true global dominance in time they can do something. They have the kind of do what works attitude that might still work, Sheng-Ji Yang was right.

universal one man one vote suffrage is a stupid, crude idea. clearly votes should be weighted based on who you are where little capital power = more voting power.

pensioners should still vote but not for the government but for some kind of council that represents their interests as a group separate from the actual government, same thing for teenagers (although theyd still be represented by adults obviously)

people who suffer from the mental illness that makes them actually believe in flat earth and things like that should just be registered as mentally unfit to vote. those in higher income brackets should have the weight of their vote reduced proportionally by bracket. if incomes become more equal votes become more equally weighted again, allowing the system to sort of naturally oscillate between socialism and liberalism

democratic systems are unstable when you have too many people voting who have no interest in maintaining the stability of the system

theres also just the feeling of having a big steaming cup on your desk in the morning that beats the espresso, a big cup is your friend and nice for warming your hands when its cold. big mugs of black coffee are the best

I whole heartily agree. Super dark, super strong black coffee is my jam and a big ol' mug of it in the morning just makes me happy.

This is why I was all about my French press when I was working from home. Could do a gigantic mug and have a little ritual in the morning and hot drat was it some super strong stuff.

My grandma would make me a big cup of Cuban coffee when I was a kid (like around 9 or 10) for breakfast when I'd spend the night at their place. Also my other grandma would make us coffee and we would sit on her porch and watch thunderstorms when they'd roll in. I'm assuming most of the reason I like coffee is because of those memories.

In my rougher years I used to mix a couple spoonfuls of instant coffee into my breakfast beer to take the edge off my hangover before going into work.

Instant Coffee is vile, I can't stomach it anymore no matter how tired and cranky and in need of a hit i am.

Lattes are the best form of coffee

Espressos are honking

The difference between Folgers and fancy pants coffee is marginal at best. I'd buy those big tubs all of the time if they actually sold whole bean since I prefer to grind my own coffee and only drink espresso. It blows that you have to pay a premium if you want to do it yourself.

I like to buy coffee canisters and bring them to work put in our freezer. Picked up four big rear end cans of Kroger generic and while it's lame, it's not gross.

I don't know why anyone bothers with other coffee. Espresso is way more versatile and less wasteful. Want a normal coffee? just add some hot water and make an americano. Want Iced coffee? pour it over ice and it won't taste like watery poo poo like normal coffee. Want a caffeine bomb? Drink it straight. It's also a lot faster to make than a pot of coffee.

Coffee rules. The only problem with it is you can't add any to chili, even though it would add some good richness, since chili doesn't have beans.
