i only drink caffeine in energy drinks and that's rarely for the caffeine itself but primarily because i like the taste. i don't think i ever consciously felt caffeine, although i did feel sick after having a 2l coke at the cinema once.

I have messed around SO MUCH with caffeine (not in a dangerous way) that it’s funny how much it affects me one day and a few weeks later my tolerance is sky-high. If I am having a lot of trouble with UTIs, I will usually cut out caffeine for a while. Eventually I end up drinking it again, and I’m like a hyperactive squirrel. Lately, it takes pretty large doses for me to even notice an effect.

Reply to TIFU by applying to the school of my dreams 15min after the deadline. by pirouette_galipette

Hi! I'm someone who's been trying to find good resources for animation education for a long time now, and it's been difficult to find programs like the one you're describing that aren't just extremely general courses with limited skill building. If you're comfortable, do you think you could share the name of the program? It would be nice to look into more specialized options for animation learning that isn't trapped on the internet. Regardless, good luck on your application!

Next time this happens immediately turn around and without even pulling up your pants run after your manager to show him that you are flaccid and therefore it is evidence that you were not in the middle of a jerk session. Then, to prove that you didn’t just finish and are now in your refractory period, get hard. Your manager will appreciate your honesty

Its because the caffeine reacts in our brains differently and helps engage pathways in our brain to achieve a semi-neurotypical feedback loop and focus. Its why most adhd meds are stimulants and you'll find unmedicated people have an unhealthy reliance on caffeine.

The science behind why we often seem "lazy" is really interesting.

Reply to TIFU and was asked not to return to the Rap Battles by SovietPropagandist

Hold your head high and walk back in there Thursday. So you sucked, oh fucking well, that host has got a stick in his ass if he’s upset with a regular who was just doing his best on an open mic night. Own it though, and be able to take a ribbing, cuz that’s the kinda mindset I’d expect from that type of crowd if I were to guess.
