Caffeine could kill you.

I am not a coffee person but I do have coffee sometimes from 7-11 which is a Nescafe packet mixture with hot wafer and gulp it down with some tuna or an egg sandwich before I dart myself to the classroom.

My body is not used to the caffeine, for I am a tea person.

Today morning, after having an intense meeting with my professor regarding the thesis proposal, I went to a different 7-11 store, away from my faculty, to which I walked for atleast 15 minutes. It was located near the student centre where you have these huge variety of food stalls, bigger 7-11 with more options, and even some fancy cafés.

When I reached, I found out that they had run out of sandwiches. Sadly, I had to pick a boring version which was also available at my faculty's, and for some reason my nervousness didn't allow me to ask where the coffee counter was. In my faculty's 7-11, I knew where and how to make myself a hot cup of coffee. So, I just bought the sandwich and decided to try the café nearby. This was my first time ordering, and I ordered espresso. That was my first mistake of the day.

The barista looked at me in confusion as I told him I wanted a hot version. Iced one makes my stomach ache (I didn't tell him that). But he went to prepare it right after thinking for quite a few seconds. The language barrier was not helping at all.

When my order arrived, I picked up my cup and found it very light. I went to my table. Opened the lid, saw the delicious looking concentrated espresso with its mean looking colour glaring back at me, with a sigh of relief I took a sip, and then again, and again, till my cup was empty. The strong bitter taste and the aroma was wonderful. That was my second mistake of the day.

My stomach was empty, not even water had made it through the whole day because I kinda woke up late today.

And yes, I could have eaten that 7-11 sandwich first before I decided to sip that espresso but my puny brain have totally forgotten about the bread inside my bag and the excitement of trying coffee at a café I have never been before got me.

I took my notebook and start making a note recalling what my advisor have told me to work on, then something really strange started to happen. My heart was racing, and a surge of excitement came over me. There were currents flowing through my whole body, and my forehead felt really weird so I googled.

The Google told me that it was called caffeine jitters, and I was now a victim of it. The café was slowly filling with students as the lunch hour got near, so I decided to leave. I packed my bag and walked out.

On the way to the Uni gate, my legs felt like noodles, like it was going to give out any minute and I would fall down like building blocks and would be an embarrassment infront of bunch of students walking around me.

I fastened my pace and then, it started raining. I had an umbrella but something in me decided not to use it, and for some good reason, I did not carry my laptop bag today. I just had my messenger bag with a notebook and an umbrella.

I took a motorbike taxi to my apartment while getting beaten by rain on the way because the drivers here drive like they are in Moto G Race. My pair of glasses needed wipers, and the sunscreen was getting washed by rain into my eyes making it sting. Me and my driver reached my destination drenched in rain, while the caffeine jitters still didn't stop.

My roommate told me I look like a rat caught in rain, I looked in the mirror and she was not kidding. I surely looked like some drenched sewer rat. And while talking with her, I felt my heart still racing, also my voice felt it was more louder than usual yet I couldn't control it.

I ate some rice with veggies, the jitters still remained.

And yes, I remembered that I had bought a sandwich just now and put it inside my refrigerator.

After taking some rest, the awful feeling went away.

A lesson learned today is that never down that espresso if you have sandwich in your bag, first take a bite of that bread and then sip your espresso.

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

Nintendo Announces That The Switch's Successor Will Be The Wii U Again

Putting an end to months of intense anticipation and speculation, Nintendo announced today that the Nintendo Switch's successor console will have the exact same name as its predecessor, the Nintendo Wii U. It will also have the exact same technical specs and game library, and Nintendo projects the exact same lackluster sales.

In a press conference at the company's Kyoto headquarters, senior executive officer Yoshiaki Koizumi explained the reasoning behind the move: "We decided to release Wii U again because it's pretty good. It rules, actually. I love it."

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa further elaborated: "Nintendo Land was my shit. Game & Wario was so underrated. So was Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. So was Star Fox Zero. So was Animal Crossing amiibo Festival. So was Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric." Furukawa went on to list every single Wii U exclusive game over the next minute and a half, as Koizumi cheered and applauded.

Also present at the press conference was legendary developer Shigeru Miyamoto, who mostly talked about how much he misses Miiverse. "I'm so nostalgic for Miiverse. When I look back on my life, I realize that without exception, my most cherished memories and friendships all happened within Miiverse. In fact, it was in the Meme Run community that I met my current wife and children."

"Splatoon 1 is the best Splatoon," Furukawa continued. "Mario Maker 1 is the best Mario Maker. Hyrule Warriors 1 is the best Hyrule Warriors. Mario Kart 8 non-Deluxe is the best Mario Kart 8."

"Yooooo, the battle mode with the racing tracks was so much fun!!!" Koizumi exclaimed, as Miyamoto vigorously nodded in agreement. "Underrated," Furukawa repeated. "So underrated."

The press conference concluded with all three agreeing that the Nintendo Switch "sucks" and "ain't shit," deciding on the spot that they would deactivate its online servers in order to reconnect the Wii U ones as soon as possible. "If you like Switch better, I'm very sorry, but it's inferior and we're shutting it down."

"I'm not sorry," Miyamoto said, addressing Nintendo Switch fans directly. "Fuck you. I wish I could shut you down, too."

it is definitely cannon that everyone at camp calls Percy "Annabeth's boyfriend". They'll be showing a new kid around the place and be like "oh yeah, that's Annabeth's boyfriend, Percy. He's also the hero of olympus, beat the god of war, and a child of poseidon or whatever."

the thing about some men is that they want you to remember, at all times, that you are underneath them. that with one word or look or "joke", you will stay beneath them. that even "exceptions" to the rule are not true exceptions - the commonly cited statistic that one in eight men believe they could win against serena williams.

women's gymnastics is often not seen as real gymnastics. whatever the fuck non-euclidian horrors rhythmic gymnasts are capable of, it's often tamped down as being not a sport. some of the most dominant athletes in the world are women. nobody watches women's soccer. despite years of dancing and being built like a fucking brick, men always assume they're faster and stronger than i am. you wouldn't like what happens when they are incorrect. once while drunk at a guy's house i won a held-plank challenge by a solid minute. the party was over after that - he became exceedingly violent.

what i mean is that you can be perfect, and they still think you're ... lacking, somehow. i hope you understand i'm trying to express a neutral statement when i say: taylor swift was the possibly the most patriarchy-palatable, straight-down-the-line woman we could churn out. she is white, conventionally attractive, usually pretty mild in personality. say what you will about her (and you should, she's a billionaire, she can handle it), but a few things seem to be true about her: 1. she can write a damn catchy song, and 2. the eras tour truly was a massive commercial success and was also genuinely an impressive feat of human athleticism and performance.

i don't know if she deserves the title of "woman of the year," i'm not debating that in this post. what i am saying is that she was named Woman of The Year, and then an untalented man got onstage at the golden globes and made fun of her for attending her boyfriend's football games. what i am saying is that this woman altered local economies - and her dating life is still being made into a "harmless" punchline. the camera panned, greedy, over to her downing a full glass of champagne. congratulations taylor! you are woman of the year! but you are a woman. even her.

fuck, man. write better material.

a guy gets onstage at a college graduation and despite the fact like half the crowd is made up of women, he spends a significant proportion of it warning these people - who spent possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars on their education - that they were lied to. that the "real" meaning of femininity is motherhood. that they shouldn't rest on the laurels of that education-they-paid-for but instead throw it away to kneel at a man's heel. imagine that. sweating in your godawful polyester gown (that you also had to pay for!), fresh out of 4 years of pushing yourself ever-harder: and some guy you've never met - who knows nothing about you - he reminds you this "win" is a pyrrhic one at best. you really shouldn't consider yourself that extraordinary. you're still a woman, even after years of study.

god forbid you are not a pretty woman, but if you are pretty, you must be dumb. god forbid you are not ablebodied or white or cis or straight or good at swallowing. you must be beneath a man, or else they are not a man. the equation for masculinity seems to just be: that which is not a woman or womanly (god forbid). anything "feminine" is thereby anathema. to engage in "feminine" things such as therapy, getting a hug from a friend, or crying - it is giving up ones manhood. therefore women need to be put in their place to ensure that masculinity is protected.

this is something i have struggled to explain to terfs - they are not doing the work of feminism, but rather the patriarchy. by asserting that women and men must be (on some secret level) oppositional and in conflict, they also assume that being a woman is akin to being another species. but bigotry does not stem from observational truths or clarity - that is what makes it bigotry. there was nothing in my childhood that made me fundamentally different from my brother. we are treated differently nonetheless. to assert there is some biological drive that enforces my gender role is to assert that women have a gendered role. men do not see women as equal to them not because of biological reality - but instead because the core tenant of the patriarchy is that women aren't full, realized people.

we are told from a very young age to excuse misbehavior as a single man's choice - not all men. it is not all men, just that one guy. all women are gold-digging bitches who belong in the kitchen - but if a man is mean, bigoted, or violent to you, it's just that particular guy, and that means nothing about men-as-a-whole. it is only one guy who got mad when you gently rejected him. it is only one guy who warns her this trophy is heavy, are you sure you can hold it? it is only one guy who smashes her face into the cake. it is only one guy talking into a mic about hating our bodily autonomy.

i have just found that they often wait until the moment we actually seem to be upstaging them. you sit in a meeting where you're presenting your own findings and he says get me a coffee? or you run to the end of the marathon and are about to finish first and he pushes your kids out in front of you. you win the chess game and they make some comment akin to well, you're ugly away. we can be the billionaire and get the dream life and finally fucking do it and yet! still! they have this strange, visceral urge to say well actually, if you think you're so great -

it's not one just one guy. it's one in eight.
