  • Obviously, everyone is entitled to enjoy the drinks they like, but at least in Canada where I am from, Tim Horton’s reigns supreme, and before I started drinking my coffee black I drank their coffee all the time, but as soon as I took all the sugar and cream out of it I realized it was frankly pretty terrible.

    I think that’s what Whitebrow is referring to (not even Tim’s specifically, just lower tier coffees from such chains) I also see Folgers, and Maxwell House get consumed a lot here, and I find those particular brands to be fairly low quality as well.

    A Cappuccino made correctly with espresso is quite delicious, but that’s a very different beverage from brewed coffee with a lot of cream and sugar.


  • I don’t know if it was so much “Make fun of” as the sentiment was “They can’t handle it” similar to how certain cultures eat relatively spicy food tease those who can’t handle it. I don’t have direct evidence for that part, and my source was a friend of mine who was a foreign exchange student from France who explained it to me as such.











  • Bring your hate and downvotes. There will be 2 or 3 that understand the situation better than I, and I’m sure that will come and try to educate me.

    So if you know this is the case, why would you not just do that research?

    I understand the cost of living is very high, but there are numerous factors that play into that and specifically to the example of eggs the war in Ukraine wouldn’t affect that supply chain in a significant way, and the aid also shouldn’t impact it.

    Providing aid, beyond preventing the war from being lost, potentially embolding Russia to continue advancing, is simply the right thing to do. Obviously Western nations have the privilege of being at peace, but that doesn’t mean we should blindly turn our backs to the many countries who make our current situation possible through numerous imports and trade.

    At the end of the day, you’re entitled to be frustrated by the rising costs of living, and you’re welcome to be angry about the war, but the way you worded your post feels more like willful ignorance than any real attempt to formally become educated.
