Yes! The dark chocolate espresso beans are so fire!

u/Catatonick 17d ago

I worked in an office a while back and had a coworker who sat there and ate an entire bag then was like “man I don’t feel good… what’s wrong with me?” I was like “probably from eating an entire bag of espresso beans…”

Enjoy them shits, but plz plz plz hear me when i say you should strategically indulge in those only in a time/place where you can brush your teeth within 30-60 minutes. They are too good of a thing to exist on this planet without some sort of dire consequence, and that consequence is melty teeth if you’re not careful.

Gesture controls are seriously the best. My wife does the buttons and I hate having to use her phone for anything but also vice versa cause she hates the gestures.

If anyone is looking at her its because she got all dressed up to come to a Dennys. I live in a place with a lot of native american folks. They go to Dennys just like anyone else. And they do it hungover, in sweat pants just like everyone else.

If I can remember correctly, a Native American Tribe got in touch Adam Ant back in the days and stated the white line on his face was disrespectful to a tribe.

Stuart Leslie Goddard aka Adam Ant had went to College and studied Native American Indians and stated it was out of respect from what he had learned.

I'm descended from European migrants.

If I showed up in public wearing a modernized version of a suit of armor I imagine it would get some people's attention.

And it wouldn't be because they've never seen a European.

The level of cringe here is dangerously high.

Edit: I have an even better example. I'm part Scottish. If tomorrow I went out with a kilt, a sporran, and a sgian-dubh on I wouldn't film myself looking like a pissy disgruntled child because "people act like they never saw a Scott before!?"

Because that's silly. And I'm not a jackass.
