On the other hand
Ignorance is bliss
Bliss for the ignorant
Absolute hell for everyone else they're connected to
not always, i'm currently ignorant of the world news, i made the choice to become ignorant becuase my own head is making me sad enough, and i do not need the aid of 20 daily articles about mass killings of babies, oppressing minorities, or whatever bullshit the US is up to this week
Siddhartha Gautama would agree.

Hey, congrats!
Thanks, it did trigger a bit of a depressive phase, which I sort of expected, but I managed to get through that one.
I'm very proud of you, it is so fuckin' hard, and you did it :)
You still drink black coffee though, right?
There are more advanced levels where you replace the cigarettes with alcohol, then the alcohol with cigarettes again, then the cigarettes with regret, and finally you quit the regret cold turkey, and all that's left is the bitterness of the coffee to match your soul.

You smoke coffe?

My compliments to the meme chef.
I like coffee. It makes me feel good:-).
Does the advanced version make you yell at anyone trying to interact with you before 10 am because you've come from a long line of advanced users?
I started at advanced, I was born hating everything and scowling at imbeciles who didn't think about the world. I am trying slowly to get back down to "beginner." It's been difficult.
Sounds to me like you have serious problems with addiction but instead of doing something about it you’re seeking validation via internet points and telling yourself that your addiction somehow makes you better and smarter than other people?
The [hi]story of my life in a single pic. (My tarot deck is even the same as the one in the pic, a Rider-Waite.)
Don't need no lung cancer for that tho.
I'm at level where i mix cocktails for IV systems and jack it straight to my system
Ergo Balkan people are spiritual gurus because that's their breakfast.
