Um. That sounds so weird. My kids always liked colors, I like colors, about the same amount as always. The blue, blue sky. The vivid pink of the bougainvillea, we all notice these.
I don’t have particularly colorful decor though. More like neutrals and muted colors with splashes of brighter.
We are in Florida and the universities are fine, except for the loss of the New College (may RDS rot in hell for what he did to that school). But if they are interested in engineering they wouldn’t have needed the free school.
If it’s cool here, it’s probably fine everywhere. Colleges are filled with kids from different places.
Maybe tea would suit you better? It contains the L-Theanine others here have recommended, and usually has less caffeine.
You could also just make smaller servings if you want to drink coffee twice, literally just use a smaller cup, or don’t fill it all the way?
Aeropress might be good too - it makes a nice strong tasting cup of coffee but the water is not in contact with the coffee for as long as it is for drip coffee.

Is the one I have. It sounds good, you can make a lot of different noises with it.
Why do you ask? What sort of intolerance are you having?
I don’t drink it until I’ve been up a few hours and not within a few hours of sleeping, that works for me.
When young though, nothing felt better than sleeping on amphetamines or caffeine. So many dreams and so refreshing. I can’t do it now, too close to sleeping just makes it hard to sleep.
I think if you wouldn’t use it as your wallpaper at work because it is inappropriate for work, that’s NSFW. So yeah at my job that would be NSFW.
My regular shampoo is Malibu C Hard Water Wellness, it is not too harsh and works so well in our water. Not Pert cheap but can get it for around $30 a liter usually and that lasts me a looong time. I love that stuff. Doesn’t dry out my hair, does clean and rinses clean.
My teens (one girl one trans boy) are crazy about that Old Spice Fiji scent, and the laundry scent Suavitel Fresca Aroma Del Sol. I think the Fiji does smell a lot like the clean clothes.
I’m not a fella, but either
Phone and husband
Or
Purse (keys, phone, wallet, work badge, hair clips, vitamins & medicines, measuring tape, lip balm, hand cream, cloth to clean glasses, crow whistle, gaming dice.)
The cocktail-averse I know all seem to like:
Margarita
Paloma
Pineapple, whiskey and lime
Mojito
You do not need to enjoy cocktails, there is plenty of other food and drink to build a palate, but if you want to learn to like the spirits and liqueurs in them, fizzy water is a way - I find whiskey & tequila in particular too strong to be able to taste and enjoy them, and most liqueurs way too sweet, but one shot in a glass of Topo Chico or other good fizzy water to dilute them? That lets me actually taste what people enjoy about them. Which then lets me think about what I might like them mixed with.
And I would like to plug !cocktails@lemmy.world we can make recommendations based on what you already like.
It’s harder to think about “enough” in places like India (or even the US) where there is so much inequality.
But I would define “enough” as comfortable. Not worried about bills, buying whatever groceries you want, a good living situation and enough cushion that an emergency won’t make you homeless.
The addiction to more, more, more is a disorder like hoarding is.
Well I have kids your age, so a literal generation gap? Yes.
I think Lemmy has age diversity, more so than other platforms.
There are two answers for me. Sometimes I stop and think my way out of it and am ok after a couple hours, I can let it go.
Sometimes I just get angrier and angrier as I think about it, and in that situation I must talk to the other party. That usually takes a day or two because it takes me that long to realize I’m not gonna calm down, am still mad. But every time this has happened, the other party has apologized because they, in the same intervening time, have realized they were being asshole-ish.
Nobody I know takes that long to tell me, if I am being asshole-ish. It can take me an hour or so to calm down and apologize.
All of this assumes good intentions on all sides. My ex, you couldn’t back down or apologize with him, he saw it as weakness and would mock, was terrible at fighting.
One thing, hmm. I need a rug for our front room, and a hundred would get a much nicer one than those I was looking at, so a rug.
Bourbon sour, unless it’s a good bar, then a margarita. If it’s really not a good bar, like at a concert then vodka cranberry or whiskey pineapple.
But at like a restaurant bar, mid tier, a bourbon sour.
That doesn’t work here. Natural soap, saponified fats, causes soap scum in hard water. If it puts a mineral coating on your tub, it will do the same to your hair.
Constantokra? Could you have a word with my okra plants? They have not flowered yet, are flourishing in the heat but no okra. I planted fewer because in years past we couldn’t keep up with them, but this year they hesitate? We want constant okra.
I have noticed, with YouTube Music: if you play a new song, it plays similar sounding songs, old and new - that’s great.
If you play an old song, though, it just plays other music from the same time period regardless of what they sound like. Stupid.
They are trying, yes. I have a kid at a state school in a science major and she isn’t getting any of that. The one in high school is getting ripped off but honestly they do call the kids by their chosen names and just ignore a lot of the culture war rules.
I think it’s hitting the K-12 education department at the universities harder, and anyone coming here for an education degree is making a mistake already.
