Lol, that is funny. xD

Thanks so much for the suggestions!

Unfortunately, as much as I’d love to try out Yorkshire Tea (I’ve heard they’re amazing), they don’t ship internationally, so as I live in the USA, I don’t think that’s an option for me. :C

To be fair, although admittedly a nitpick, I will say I never said that the caffeine dehydrated you, just that the teas and tisanes do, the latter of which may or may not have caffeine.

That being said, I looked it up and yeah you’re right. The evidence does seem to demonstrate that the diuretic effect of the caffeine in teas not substantial enough to really affect hydration levels.

However, it does lead me to wonder why my body seems to dehydrate if I drink more 2 cups of tea in a day. Like, it doesn’t cause me to pee more (at least not more than an equivalent amount of straight water would cause me to pee); my body just dries out.

As an American who wasn’t ever raised on tea of any kind (and I don’t like coffee) but is starting to really learn to love teas and tasanes (I’m open to suggestions, by the way!), I have to ask: how the hell do you manage to drink 8–10 cups per day without dying of dehydration? If I drink more than 3 cups a day I start to really feel dried out!

I have not once in my entire life heard anyone say it like that. Where are you from? Maybe it’s a regional thing…

sen-tar

“sen-” like “cent” (like 25 cents), and “-tar” like “a tar pit”

......Okay, I’m gonna be honest. I don’t know how to respond to this.

My vacation. I work in retail, so my job is very stressful and anxiety-inducing.

My vacation technically started a couple hours ago when I clocked out, but it starts in earnest tomorrow when I wake up. :3

Jesus, 12+ hours a day… That is not healthy.

I hope he’s doing okay…

Wow, fuck that other person. I can’t believe someone could be so heartless as to not only root for someone to kill themselves, but to vocally express a desire to watch it happen.

Oof.

Yep, they’re a goner.

Rip the homey.

Default search engine: Google

Text in address bar: site:google.com google

Yeah, people doing that is my fault.

My bad.

Yeah, I’m still salty that Google and most other search engines have cut out some of the boolean operators over the last decade or so.

.........Touché.

Oh that.

Yeaaaah that gets kind of annoying I imagine…

I feel ya there, friend. Haha.

I think this example just confused me honestly. Sorry.

Put another way, though, is it basically like a sock being pushed so far inward that it goes inside-out and gets bigger again?

Okay, so it’s likely to happen. I never disputed that. But just because the VP says he intends for it to happen still is not the same as a statement by the company that it will happen. He could get vetoed. He could lose his job. There could be a material shortage. Trademark disputes. A kraken could fly through his window and devour his testicles forcing him to be in the hospital on the exact day the paperwork has to be filed.

The fact remains this article is titled in a very clickbaity way because it jumps to the foregone conclusion that “want to do” = “will 100% happen”.

I agree. Monopolies/oligopolies are terrible for the consumer.
