@dommymommy well i didn't drink it for 18 years because i was raised mormon and they can't drink coffee, so i just kind of don't drink it at all. i'm not a huge fan of the taste though, i like artificial coffee flavor more. i do like the smell of coffee but the taste, not so much.
but yeah, 20g of sugar is definitely still a decent chunk, but it's certainly not anywhere near as bad as if i were to drink two regular sodas instead which would amount to like 90g+ :) but it also depends on how many calories you consume otherwise, and i actually have a relatively high calorie diet and a ridiculously fast metabolism so things aren't as bad for me as they could be, that's for sure. i'm only really drinking the stuff if i am at work too, so i'm actively doing stuff.
coffee typically has more caffeine in it too, and with hypomania episodes the more of that stuff i have in me the worse it'll be so i try to only drink caffeine if i need to, the less the better. i also get a little worried about seizures, from the caffeine itself to the effect it would have on my sleep. i'm sure i could find some coffee that had a relatively low amount of caffeine in it but i've got something going for me right now that works well enough so i don't really wanna fuck with it. like people telling me to go on keto kind of scares the shit out of me because if my diet changes in a way that my body doesn't like i could literally die.
@BlinkRape @dommymommy that's interesting. i don't drink coffee, but personally i know that hot chocolate, tea, alcohol, and hot showers make me suuuuper relaxed which transitions into sleepiness, so maybe coffee would have a similar effect.
@dommymommy i know it's really typical, but i wanna' go to japan super bad. i was actually going to go in 2020, had funds saved for it and everything, but everything got shafted for obvious reasons.
i'd also like to go to northern sweden to check out the scenery and do some camping/hiking, as well as iceland to see the black beaches and volcanoes.
none of these are what i'd really call "vacations" though, they'd be more like experiences where i'm actively trying to go out and see stuff. to me, a vacation is sitting on my ass and not having to worry about anything whatsoever xD
@dommymommy i've been making a tabletop RPG system, i've been working on a video game (for over 7 years now but it's hard to stay motivated on it), i've got 2 separate D&D campaigns I'm running, i've been trying to get back into writing music again but i'm waiting to see if i won a contest or not to decide what to do next, and i've also been painting a guitar hero controller to match gawr gura colors :3 i also just finally figured out how to get a bot up and running that makes posts based on my own, and i'm going to be fixing my instance soon because it keeps feeding the local timeline to the void xD
and then there's that 1500 piece puzzle my grandparents gave me for christmas. don't know when i'm getting around to that lol.
@dommymommy the whole thing has 152mg of caffeine in it and 55g of sugar. i'm surprised you didn't feel anything xD
if i need an energy drink i'll drink a mountain dew kickstart, because it's just straight caffeine without all the other weird herbal supplements in it and only has 20 grams of sugar and 92mg of caffeine, which is the lowest amount of each i've seen for energy drinks. there's less actual juice in it but if i'm drinking an energy drink i don't really care lol, just need something to carry me a bit until i can pass out.
in fact, kickstart doesn't even classify itself as an energy drink lol, it's more or less two mtn dews stacked on top of each other with a lot less sugar and a little less caffeine so i'm good with that.
i miss @FutaFanatic i hope he's doing well
@MischievousTomato @Fiddle the thing is that ukraine being globohomo is WHY the war is happening. literally just didn't have to join nato, and that's disregarding the foreign biolabs that exist there.
@BlinkRape guys, I SWEAR, THIS TIME they ACTUALLY are going to BLOW UP A NUCLEAR REACTOR please SEND US NUKES
@MischievousTomato @Fiddle granted, russia has done some of the same stuff certainly too, but i'm more inclined to side with orthodox christians fighting againt globohomo jews with a literal clown as a president. afaik russia hasn't been bombing its own people for 8 years either.
i'm also pissed that the USA is just wasting a shit ton of money on this as more lives get thrown into the blender just because some piss ass country wanted to join a piss ass globalist friendly nations pact.
@MischievousTomato @Fiddle i don't trust ukraine as far as i can throw it considering everything else they've clearly lied about while censoring/banning political dissidents
@Fiddle exactly.
