Society can always collapse further.

Until people are fighting their neighbors with sticks and stones with no power or gas or internet for the dregs of the least-collapsed house in the region, it can always get worse.

Not all advertising is manipulation. The convo is going nowhere because you are No True Scotsmanning the definition of "advertisement".

If you're dropping a name of a product or service and describe anything about it to appeal to others, you are definitionally advertising.

The rank and file get the bear. The leaders get the wolf. Any 'special forces' (see: the SS or ICE) get the wolf, too.

People regularly die on less than 2g caffeine intake in a day.

I've eaten them at a casino. I bet the french cook them much better, even disregarding the stereotypes.

They're not bad, but it's like a chicken wing with less tendon and gristle, and a lot less meat: Not worth it.

Many diseases are also caused by an over-active immune system in one way or another, like Rheumatoid arthritis, Celiac disease, and many others. It's an entire category of diseases.

If this works by cranking your immune system up to 11 and that's it, this won't be good for most people would be my bet. Worst of all, some issues wouldn't show up until years later. Many autoimmune diseases aren't exactly as obvious as the flu.

Not so sure either side actually grew tired of it... more that the US (publicly) grew more tired and fearful of the cold war.

Also the "tear down this wall" was fire for most people on either side.

Because the US education system failed you.

(if you're outside the US, then it figures history would be simplified past such details)

I cannot blame you for that. Being a guy (read: comfortably male) is very difficult in modern society. It's far too wraped up in belligerent confidance in status quo more than what it means to be male.

Go ahead and test those numbers yourself. Report back to us how 20 grams of caffeine goes.

Meanwhile, those of us that live in reality... https://youtu.be/wj_AOzSSDMM
