genuine question: does the smell of coffee have caffeine in it?

i joined reddit for the first time this... august? september? in pursuit of a social media that wasn't like the others. less Refresh Scroll Refresh Refresh. but my lifelong-built desire to help, teach, support, and provide useful references is eating into my free-time. hence: a new bad habit

juliet @follypersist.bsky.social · 19h

so one bad habit i've picked up lately is spending minimum half an hour on reddit answering people's questions and giving helpful critiques and advice

my idea for a game is to gerrymander all human experience into shiny "products" and ugly externalities, then financialize just the shiny part and call that reality

obvious relevance aside, i'm thinking about nicky in perpetua 17 describing self-doubt as "everyone feels this way all of the time." not "everybody feels this way some of the time", but *everybody* *all of the time*. a universal statement for the broadest encompassing

no teeth to it, but if we were still on cohost i think i could get a good "le mot juste" out of molière's

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

he's sooo good and the fact that his role in Wu-Tang is still "the goofy stoner one" and not "the greatest rapper ever who accidentally ended up friends with a bunch of weirdos" is an astounding display of being chill

"i bet him one that's next to nothing i'm top ten"

- the number one is "next to" no one (no one is better than the number one)
- the number 1 is always already "next to" both the numbers 2 (two) and 0 (nothing)
- the number 1 (one), "next to" 0 (nothing) is how you spell the number 10 (ten)

method man has the benefit of both intricately rhymed and referenced lyrics and an incredible flow, but just to sample a single couplet from one song (Warriors Two, Cooley High) from this year, 2025:

My arms strong, I handle bars, let y'all pedal
We not friends, you can't relate, we not kin
I bet him one, that's next to nothin', I'm top ten
