No one’s going into Starbucks for ‘coffee’, so maybe you were the one who was self conscious for some reason ? not sure why you’d be weird about a beverage they actually serve, not like you were asking for cat milk or something? were you?

On a side note however ;) at Starbucks Reserve in Thailand, my partner (a coffee nazi/aficionado depending how you view it) said it serves the best coffee she’s ever had.

They more or less just look like any other regular ICE car.

ice cars are how they are because they basically need to be. I’m an anti car but I’m glad EVs are throwing that shitty design criteria out the window and experimenting.

Chinese cars are how they are because that’s what the biggest car market on the planet wants.

if you want something that is boring and uninspiring, Toyota has your back

“the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had” - Bad Word (Tears for Fears)

“Well, Americans don’t care for much of anything
Land and water the least
And animal life is low on the totem pole
With human life not worth more than infected yeast,”

“Americans don’t care too much for beauty
They’ll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
They’ll watch dead rats wash up on the beach Complain if they can’t swim” - Last Great American Whale (Lou Reed)

the entire songs is magnificent
