That actually is really interesting, thanks for sharing that article. It is of note that this study is in mice, so who knows if it translates to humans in the same way, but the results are encouraging.

Im more hesitant to say it’s definitely the nicotine based off of these results.

This is such a dumb boomer thing to say. I have worked at multiple starbucks locations and i go to coffee shops all the time. I usually order a black house coffee. I have never been to or worked at a coffee shop baffled by black coffee. It is the easiest thing to serve. I promise baristas are relieved to hear you say black coffee as it means less work for them. They probably asked if you wanted a dairy/alternative and you got mad about that for some reason. Also, maybe don’t be a dick to people working a job just trying to live their lives when it seems like you can barely rub two braincells together to effectively communicate what you want.

Elon Musk WAS bullied in high school and Stephen Miller was a social pariah for being a freaky little racist weirdo. They both still turned out this way. I’m so tired of people saying “if only they had been bullied more!”, when we know now that healthy socialization always leads to better outcomes and that having more money than god breaks peoples brains and how they perceive the world.
