  • I’ve had it a number of times both in the states and in SE Asia. It’s different but it is really good. Like yeah it is a different coffee and if you judge it to the same criteria as a coffee style that it isn’t, of course it will fail. If a “good coffee” needs to be aggressively acidic with strong notes of papaya, pineapple, Maracuja…this is not that. It is very smooth and subtle and that is what makes it nice and different.

  • This is today’s version of "Eskimos (Inuit, I know, but that’s not how the memes went) have __40 __65 250( insert your number, it won’t be wrong) words for snow. This is for the same reason and is now largely known as wrong.

    The problem is even German people (I live in Germany) also believe that they have a larger more expressive language than (for example) English… When it isn’t true. German has either 5.3 million++ words or 135,000 depending on how you count them. In reality you can endlessly combine words in German together, but it very rarely makes it a “new word”.






  • Correct, my bad, just googled it. we need 1.75 earth’s to sustain us, not 2… 😂 But that doesn’t change that we only have one. If everyone lived like the people in the US (which is the global direction of things) we would need 4 earth’s. Four earth’s!

    And you and I can give our opinions about population growth or decline but what is the professional concensus on the topic? Are we projecting a decline or growth in the next 50 years? Or 100 years?

    Got any solutions for when too many people are in one place and not enough in another? I know immigration is scary for some people, but they can get over it. I can think of a few counties that have already.



  • Why does our population have to always be sharply growing forever? Isn’t there enough humans? We are a plague that’s starting to kill it’s host already.

    I haven’t looked it up but these websites and programs are always funded by huge shitty companies as the rich loose money and power with population decline. We are not running out of people on this earth. We have taken over nearly all of it for us and our food. Would it really be so bad if there was 1 billion less people? Would climate change be better? Yep. Would there be more resources for everyone? Yep. Our over usage of water would be fixed. Simply having less of us would make so many things better.

    Population decline needs to happen, it’s foolish to think we can keep increasing forever.
