Surprising that somebody so fit and healthy looking would have these problems.

I want to go back again:

re-watching the story from Witcher 1. It really does hold up and it is very loyal to the books. I think the remake has the potential to be extremely good, on par with W3 if the developers get their act together. The big setpiece in the end of the game, the civil war in a city could be amazing if done right. The remake will likely be a much smaller game.

Tea is fine as the caffeine is much lower. I drink coffee in the summer and coffee & tea in the rest of the year. I am addicted to caffeine but only at a moderate degree. I consume 300-400 mg of caffeine first thing in the morning and then 'recharge' with 100 mg once or twice for the rest of the day. So approx. 600-500 mg a day. In the US people drink a lot of strong coffee, an excessive amount. It is unhealthy. A lot of people diet by using coffee to control their hunger. They will drink far more than I do. Maybe twice or more.

I'm doing the Witcher book 2 (Sword of Destiny) for the second time. It's really great as I remembered. However on the second read I am picking up more things than I did in my first. The second story, 'A Shard of Ice' is the third story of the saga that features Yennefer and really deepens her character. This is where we get the stuff with her domestic habits (including the sex unicorn) and the complicated way she behaves in her relationship with Geralt. Istred also appears in the story. CDPR used this story to 'introduce' Yennefer in the W3 in White Orchard/Vizima and Skellige. It's quite uncanny to read it in print again. Then the first story of book 2, the "Bounds of Reason" we get the first real story where Geralt & Yennefer do a quest together and their characters deepened too. It shows how they kind of clash & banter which is what CDPR made them do all the time in Skellige. Like this story their relationship clashes end with a deepening of their relationship.

^ yeah!

Stephanie is a goddess

It's pretty sad that the great metal gear solid franchise is fading away with Kojima committed to death stranding 2. MGSV was 8 years ago. It seems that no developer has stepped up to the plate to create something that can deliver the same experience. I want this statue but it's out of production and going for $1,000 lol.

In the US we usually see only Orange Chicken. I personally find it too sweet and I prefer General Tso Chicken but I like both.

tea has very little caffeine compared to coffee. In my opinion coffee should be minimized and not used to stay skinny. It can cause anxiety and disturb the sleep. I think the high fiber approach works better (oats, certain large high fiber fruits like watermelon and peaches)

She has the worst performing youtube channel for a sex goddess tier bikini model who does Miami Swim week. It was really surprising to me.

The screenplay for "Gladiator" is quite brilliant. The three forces of Stoicism, hard work/competence, & Nationalism (Maximus the farmer-General like Cato) vs. Decadence, Emotional & Selfish, and Bread & Circuses Fraud (Emperor) are a core feature. In the writings of Seneca (and Cicero IIRC) they write extensively about the increasing feminization of men among Roman elite, decadence and neglect of duties (both civil & military) due to comfort. I think Chinese history has the same issues as the Roman. Look at the Imperial Japanese, the Germans, & Americans of the late 19th century to the mid- 20th century compared to how feminine they are today for instance.. Max Weber - Wikipedia The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism - Wikipedia I recall Max Weber and Sloan/Drucker also have insightful observations (of their times) on how American men changed as they transformed from independent people into corporate/bureaucratic drones. In some aspects of behavior they started becoming more feminine 100 years ago.

I think political ideologies (feminism, political right/left, MAGA, CCP, etc) are mostly propaganda grifts with only grains of truth. They are ideological weapons. Politics is a form of warfare and a shooting war happens when politics don't give you want groups want. Feminists are gaining more for their side, it's just the way things are today. They are also a form of population control. Overall the whole industrious to decadent cycle is Roman history and history of the rise & fall of civilizations in a nutshell. Two thousand years ago Cicero and Seneca, Cato etc. were talking about the same problems about corruption and decadence among the Roman elite as well as the declining standards of responsibility. Same thing in Feudal Japan, where the Sengoku era was seen as superior to the latter eras. In China they talk about the 100 years of 'shame' and the 'communism with Chinese characteristics' as saving the nation. And in the US the 'Greatest generation' is seen as the best (1930s-1950s). Currently, North America & Europe are globally declining/stagnating societies with terrible political & military leadership and corrupt economies. They are well past the point of help. If they were to be saved it should have been done at the latest in the 1980s. The signs of decline were already evident in the 1970s US. Ultimately what is good for the nation & society as a whole is not necessarily good for the individual who craves fast money, security, pleasures & freedom. That's how decadence happens. I think it's just the natural order of things.

I think more people know who Nina is now lol. The most successful youtube channel creators (like mr.beast) just make flashy garbage.
