I'm somewhat relieved to see someone else who had the same experience with coffee, although I still haven't gotten into drinking it yet. My caffeine vice is energy drinks, which is funny because I swore off anything with bubbles as a kid, and still largely don't drink soda..

Late reply, so you might not see this, but I don't really like normal soda either. one of the reasons I like energy drinks is that they come in a million different flavors that all have a peculiar taste to them. i always feel like a child whenever i drink them though, and definitely not healthy...

I often think I want to game when what I really want is a ritualized activity I can start without thought. "When it's game time, I game." This immediately crumbles when I actually choose a specific game and get bored within a week or two.

as someone with the same aversion towards facial hair i would have followed your teachings blindlessly

also, i love your essay about Murakami, i relate to it so much

"[...] and bursting out like a Xenomorph." Was a particularly amusing line.

August 22 was an enjoyable read, thanks :)

jeez... no need to be so dramatic... it's only been like a week...

i thought it was my phone's problem that it absolutely chugs on suboptimalism's website but i am glad to hear instead that he has actually created a group experience for us

well... it works fine on my hardware... and believe me i use a bunch of outdated garbage (tho i did just upgrade my laptop in *kih*b*r*)
