Here's the video for Run the Jewel's "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)". It features Knucky's brother from Boardwalk Empire. I think it's a dope video. Not topic worthy. Since Geno makes 10 topics a day I figured I'd put it here.

@Certain

i dont drink coffee or energy drinks.

i man the fuck up, & start my day.

i'm OF THE MIND that caffeine doesn't really do anything tho and its all a placebo

its part of the reason why i drink 4 cups of coffee in 1 giant plastic cup in the morning, and 2, 5 hour energies instead of 1. im not sure if they do anything at all. im still in a perpetual state of exhaustion from being a piece of shit on the reg

i like coffee in the morning tho, i smoke a ton of cigs and have a sore/dry throat and shit in the am. so a hot drink in the morning soothes it.

but as far as needing it energy wise i don't. i can drink coffee and go to sleep.

thats prolly just DEPRESSION THO SUP

Or you've just built a tolerance.

I stopped drinking coffee for awhile. Not purposefully. I just kind of forget to drink it, I guess. Lasted for a few months. Then I remembered I drink coffee. Drank a few cups and was absolutely wired. A little jittery, like some people have said. That lasted a few days. Then my tolerance returned and I can drink coffee @ 8 P.M. and fall asleep a few hours later.

Try going a couple of weeks without coffee or energy drinks then jump back in. You'll see it's not a placebo effect. Although with your level of consumption you might experience withdrawals and once you return your body will just return to the state it's used to.

dancake translantoin: u a fucka weak fat faggot dat eat day old mcdonalds hash browns and u r on verge of death and heart attack orgasm pls consider suicide fat faggot hash brownicihio lol. tolerance ands tuff blah balh yeah

energy drinks are for middle schoolers and misguided college freshmen in need of a mixer

I recently drank an entire pot at IHOP at midnight thinking it was decaffeinated. I couldn't sleep until 6 a.m. and was jittery to the point of discomfort.

On days I don't work out, I do intermittent fasting until about 5pm, so I make coffee with a spoon of Manuka honey and a spoon of ***ao butter, with only a splash of milk.

When I do workout, I will be a bit more liberal with what goes in my coffee, just depends on what kind of coffee I make. Kona coffee gets honey crystals, Mexican coffee gets some brown sugar and cinnamon, etc.

another thing coffee is great for is healthy hearty SHITTING

My pinky raised unconsciously while reading this post

Jesus

Lolllll

but...the taste of coffee alone is amazing.

Like, good coffee, not some instant shit.

I don't understand the need to mix it with anything.

dude. the coffee I make is absolute quality. I put ingredients lightly, to highlight the coffee flavor. I'd sound like an even bigger trendy, elitist fuck if I detailed the beans I use/how I make my coffee etc, but trust. To be fair, I have lots of free time in Korea, and people here really fucking love coffee. I'm a victim of circumstance.

when I fast, though, that coffee isn't much for taste, more for sustenance. I like the taste, but the description I get when others try it is often "jet fuel" or "battery acid."

Korean Battery Acid would be a good name for a post-punk band.

They could open for The Jewish Editors.

This leaned me so hard. If i knew how to rep u i wud. I honestly think my pinky also raised. Wtf is going on in here @oats? Haha im not even lying. Thats why @deadman leaned me so hard lmao

I just learned.. Rep to both

@oats how's that fasting going bro i've been thinkin about it. what times do you do it from?

The Hold Steady is opening for us. But Korean Battery Acid could open for them.

from when I wake up (9-10am) until I feel like I need to eat, usually in the 4pm-6pm range. I feel really good about it tbh, always feel alert, productive and with a proper amount of energy. I recommend trying it out.
@Genocide follow the feeling, don't ask why. it's worth it

I've repped you too recently (a short story title you should check out btw) to do so again, but this deserves recognition.

what!? hm.. just one meal ? or a few in the evening? how long do you do this for?

i thought it was more like the other way around, you fast from 6pm - 10am

Haha. IiL try bro. @oats
Listen.. Been wanting to drop a dope collab in om. You down, for old timesakes

Fuck. I forgot to read ur pm. I GOT YOU WHEN I GET BACK FROM CVS.

MY BAD HOMIE

usually I eat twice - a bowl of oatmeal or a vega one shake to break the fast, snack on some almonds at work (I work 3pm-10pm), and when I get home I have some food - chicken, broccoli, eggplant, carrots, asparagus, mushrooms and avocados frequent the menu - around 11pm. I drink some tea, read a bit/dick around on the internet (like I'm doing now) and go to bed around 2am. pretty set routine tbh.

that's why I put ***ao butter in my coffee, has the fat content to keep you satiated. I sip on the coffee throughout the day.

I'm sure it works the other way as well, basically the same concept. it's bigger than just the fast, though. gotta have healthy support structures behind it. if you're mobbing burgers all day and then stop eating from 6pm to 10am, it will probably be negligible.

either way, I still recommend giving it a go.

I am always tired, and I genuinely mean always, even after a rare long sleep.

Is this due to my diet? I've always wondered why I never seem to be as alert and energetic as most people.

there's a 95% chance yes

what do you eat normally

probably a lack of magnesium

Boof will try anything he thinks is progressive.
