was a privacy freek back in the day, I would not use services because of that reason, I would always look up how much info a service is collecting about me, but now I'm like almost the opposite. I realised that there were bigger things in life that I needed to think about so I don't really care too much anymore

If you really wanted privacy, I'd never even look up everything lmao. Google, microsoft bing, and even microsoft itself, including windows, are also not really into privacy. Genuin privacy is non-existant on the internet. Also don't buy an iPhone then. I hope you've never bought something off temu or chein/chien how ever it's spelt.

Here's my hot take, for what it's worth. Musicians: If you want to get good at whatever you do, you are not required to have one huge practice session a day. Actually, doing so isn't really the best way to practice anyway. What tends to help more, at least in my experience, is to have multiple shorter sessions, say around 30 minutes to an hour, with breaks in between each session. In this way, you're not trying to accomplish all your goals in one fell swoop and you can more easily break things down into more manageable chunks as needed. If you insist on doing a huge practice session, however, build time for breaks into that session, be those breaks for food, hydration, Etc. Practicing all day, every day, with no breaks, is the quickist way to burn yourself out in a hurry.

I was going to ask what community you're in because if anything privacy is't emphasized enough here, but I realized it's not so much privacy as it is discretion that needs to be practiced.

@97, it's unfortunate this is a hot take. A lot of people, particularly in this space really does overdo it when it relates to privacy and they let it completely incapsulate their whole personality

Privacy in the sense of big tech rather than other people around. But I do think you're onto something. A lot of these people will complain about Google or Facebook being data hoarders while at the same time having sleepovers on google met with their microphones on
All that I survey, I could easily destroy. From time to time, it is important to remind these small creatures of the true extent of my power.

What the fuck? It's really idiotic.

Nope. I like taste of beer.
It doesn’t matter whether it has alcohol or not. I just like beer for its taste. I drink specific brands of beer; I don’t like every beer. Coffee? I absolutely love latte and I can’t imagine not having them. Additionally, coffee doesn’t have any effect on me, so I can’t like it for its effects.
-- (khalil2009):
another hot take, especially among the people around here. I feel like Coffee doesn't actually taste good, people just pretend to like it or only like it for its effects. I feel the same way with beer, but I don't think that one is really a hot take.

I completely missed that one. I actually like coffee, but had to stop drinking it because it doesn't agree with my stomach anymore.

If there were no war in Ukraine, I would be in favor of Poland leaving the European Union.

Fernando: I'm not a right winger, but holocausts was real. As a Pole, I am disgusted by this post.

At this point the accusation of holocaust denial is just a slanderous smear.

Fifa should be dismantled and another, more transparent football organisation should be established from scratch.

About the coffee thing, I'm amazed I didn't respond to that yet. I really like the flavour of coffee, but the taste of actual coffee always was too bitter for me. At the same time, I also try to reduce sugar consumption where possible, so I don't like putting a lot of sugar in there, because I feel like I'd need to put in a lot to compensate for the bitterness. What I really love from time to time though, is coffee gelato, or chocolate with coffee in. Somehow though, although actual coffee is too bitter, iced coffee is a different story. I like that a lot.

#115

I've heard that really good coffee isn't bitter. I personally have never had such, but that's what I've heard. I've found that just a spoonful of sugar is enough for me, but of course that's such an individual thing. My tummy does strange things if milk or something like a coffee creamer is added. The affect is so hard to explain. It doesn't make me sick but sometimes it feels like someone is tapping me on the insides. Weird, huh.

@105 yes, it's honestly rediculous. The people who clame to care about privacy are the people who usually never read any privacy notices on websites/services.

my most controvertial take was when I took that guy's wallet. I took it controvertially.

Seems like the outrage has subsided and I stay winning.
