The first rule of cooking is: the better the ingredients, the fewer processing steps are necessary.

I agree with everything except for this part:

Almost every coffee shop that sells coffee also sells sweetened and frozen coffee drinks, with similar caloric/sugar content.

What the võlkisch-antisemitischer Dünnschiss are you talking about?

When asked if he had any health issues people should know about, he replied, “Of course not,”

Hehe that’s funny

I really don’t care about the legal form the oligarchs give themselves, but at least the state can impose statutory requirements on banks, even if they’ve always been too lax.

Never seen Greg in a suite before, makes him look dashing but also evil.

Trump can’t hate on Mamdani too much, lest he becomes a folk hero.
