    Energy drinks are counter intuitive.

    The first thing to understand is there is no such thing as a “sugar rush” in the sense of gaining a burst of energy. The crash though, is very real.

    Your body has not evolved to process that much sugar, so it tries to store it, which itself is energy intensive, so consuming large amounts of sugar will make you lethargic.

    If you need the burst of energy in the morning, drink black coffee. You’ll learn to love it as your palette develops.













  • I’m no George Bush fan, but in his defence:

    Point 1: the implication is the US are thinking about how the enemy will harm them

    Point 2: he is convinced the purpose of war is to establish peace

    Point 3: he probably meant "to catapult over the propaganda

    Point 4: ya dun fukt up

    Point 5: ya dun fukt up 2 George Bush Junioroo

    Point 6: (yes, i know it’s hypocritical) he’s right tho lol

    Point 7: heh heh






  • Gnostic / Agnostic is simply a claim about knowledge.

    I’m agnostic as to whether my bread is stale. (I don’t know if my bread is stale).

    I’m gnostic about the planets shape (I know it’s a dodecahedron).

    Theist / Atheist is a claim about belief.

    Every person fits into one of the following:

    • A Gnostic Theist claims to know God exists (therefore implicitly believing)

    • A Gnostic Atheist claims to know God doesn’t exist.

    • An Agnostic Theist believes in God but doesn’t have sufficient evidence to make definitive claims.

    • An Agnostic Atheist doesn’t have sufficient evidence to make claims about God, and therefore doesn’t believe.

    In terms of rationale, both Gnostic groups make definitive claims without sufficient evidence and should not be trusted.

    The Gnostic Theists believe in something without evidence, this is a fallacy, but it’s something we all do every day. For example, I don’t know if it will rain, but I believe it might, so I bring an umbrella.

    An Agnostic Atheist is the most rational. If you don’t have sufficient evidence to make a definitive claim, then why would you believe it?
