TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I could have sworn Suu was giving up crappy food and stimulants.

I think she was giving up coffee, booze, all the "hard on your system" stimulants, which arguably tea is not.

As far as the Philly cheesesteak... I got nothin'. :lol:

EDIT to add: But it sounds delicious and I want one too.
Be the trouble you want to see in the world.

It was on a WRAP!

er...


It's very difficult for me to give up crappy foods when I only eat at work. Once I move and have refrigerator space of my own I'll be able to actually get what I want and not be scrutinized for it.

And the reason I gave up coffee is because I put too much crap in it. In order for me to drink it I add cream and sugar, so, if I want caffeine, I'll get it from tea which I drink straight. Plus tea at least has antioxidants, and it's a better appetite suppressant (see also: only eating at work.).

There is nothing wrong with coffee in moderation, or Yerba Mate in moderation; it's only the caffiene in either that's bad for you.

Coffee is loaded with antioxidants: moreso than tea.

But when I load coffee with half and half and sugar...it's not as beneficial.  :|

True.

I can't stand the taste of yerba mate, so I don't drink it. But I also don't drink coffee because it's too much stimulant for my weak little pump.  :lulz:

The Yerba Mate I have has other things in it for flavor like cocoa and nuts, so it's not as bitter. Which helps. Yerba Mate chai is also delicious since the spices help cover the bitterness.

Yeah.  That expensive flavored mate stuff is really good.  It doesn't taste at all like, well, normal mate.

Much like with coffee, I have to put cream and sugar into regular mate to make it drinkable.  The fancy shmancy stuff, though, is drinkable all by itself.

I might have to try chai with mate.  I actually like the taste of mate for itself, but I like even tastier things more.
