coffee at 2pm won't affect your sleep adversely if you are pure of heart and spirit

Like is this a skill issue? Does no one look up the place they want to go and see if it’s for them? Every shop I go to I usually enjoy, or even if I am disappointed I’ve never had a rude or snobby barista. And at the very least they have never been significantly more expensive than Starbucks

I always see TikTok skits that are like β€œPOV: you go to a local coffee shop” and the barista is super rude/snobby, say the prices are outrageous, and all the comments are like β€œYES!” And add how it tastes terrible, but I’ve genuinely never had that experience? Feels like Starbucks propaganda

Reminder to everyone donating to food banks in light of the Republicans starving SNAP: It is far more cost effective to donate directly to food banks than to buy food and give it to them. They can buy in bulk and have existing relationships with sellers, so your few bucks go way further that way

i think the bakery should offer a flight option on the menu. just a few sample size baked treats for like twenty bucks you know. sometimes i get so anxious knowing i only get one shot at this treat and might choose badly

Food trucks should actually just be like smaller portions of dishes for like $5-$8. I’m talking like sliders, little salmon on rice. They are usually next to other food trucks and then I could try multiple instead of spending like $20 on one

Am I the only one who just cannot listen to podcasts or audiobooks at home? I try, but like I can really only do it in the car.

3. Another thing I miss about Spotify was it has an app on almost any device and being able to control that from my phone. Obviously you can still use Bluetooth/AirPlay.
4. Most artists are fine, but a few smaller ones can be mixed with other artists of the same name, or can be missing releases

2. The suggest new music/algorithm could be better. Spotify would usually suggest new artists that I ended up liking, and that hasn’t really happened on tidal. I don’t really rely on it for discovering new artists. This could also simply be because of a lack of people using it compared to Spotify

Anyone who’s considering Tidal, here’s my experience over the last 2ish years of switching over to it:
1. Using the app itself has been pleasant. The layout is familiar and not confusing. I appreciate having artists I listen to frequently on the Home Screen, albums I’ve played recently…

Being a coffee nerd in this economy is not for the weak. I have to limit myself to just one ~8oz cup a day or else I’d have to buy bags way more often

Watched The Godfather for the first time in theaters a month ago, and I think it’s time to watch Part II. I’ve put these movies off for so long because I knew how highly regarded they were and figured I wouldn’t appreciate them enough as a younger person.

One of the lamest parts of the de minimis exemption being taken away is that a lot of the coffee roasters I get are from other countries. Not many US roasters are doing it quite like coffee collective, manhattan, DAK ect. Even September is from Canada.
