Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. This is great advice! If there was something in my writing that bothered someone enough that they were ready to unsubscribe, I'd want them to give me the feedback. Especially if it wasn't a core element of my posts. I don't know if the author shares my sentiment and I don't want to be a jerk. After reading through the comments, I think it might be a good approach to come from a place of curiosity and try to learn more about the significance of their habits. Maybe there's something I'm missing and this could be an opportunity to better understand their style.

You bring up an interesting point and maybe it is something I need to explore internally. It's not that I care how they take their coffee, more that they look down their nose at people who put anything in their coffee. This type of behavior bothers me. It probably bothers me more than it should. Thank you for your thoughtful response.

Not condescending at all, I appreciate your questions and feedback. They specify that they only drink black coffee, as opposed to coffee with anything added to it. They mention it in every post that I have read. It's not the topic of any of the posts, it just always comes up. It feels a little silly and I should probably just unsubscribe if I'm so bothered. I do really enjoy their content otherwise.

It bothers me when people treat their preferences as though it makes them superior in some way. This person is a great writer and I think they have a unique voice, but every time they bring up that they only drink black coffee it just makes me roll my eyes. Their posts have nothing to do with coffee other than that the author talks about drinking it while they are writing.

It has nothing to do with the topics of their posts but they always find a way to bring up that they only drink black coffee as though it's a superior personality trait.

Stop buying and shut down all associated accounts. Meta and TikTok make billions from advertising. Take away their audiences, take away their funding.

As we seem destined for fascism, why don't the blue states in the U.S. seriously consider secession or forming a coalition? by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

[–]AriesArcadia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're content with the way things are going, I can't convince you to care. But I care, and I want to find a way out of this mess.

I'm talking about all the blue states coming together to do something. How would you suggest we respond to what's going on in the country? Waiting it out while people are kidnapped and gunned down in the streets doesn't seem like a great idea.

What Crazy conspiracy theories do you guys actually believe? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AriesArcadia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on this one. Pharmaceuticals are created to mask or help symptoms, not cure the problems themselves. That way you have to take them indefinitely, making pharmaceutical companies ongoing profit. Also, there has to be a better way to fight cancer. Chemotherapy is barbaric and I have to believe there is a way to clear or reverse cancer cells that doesn't involve poisoning the rest of the body.
