Very powerful. People don’t want to hear this, but the results speak for themselves. I drink this for MEDICAL reasons. The taste (which is superior to regular coke and also Coke Zero) is just a bonus—goes down crisp without any syrupy stickiness. You see, aspartame , is made up of two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine. There are a bunch of studies (of dubious quality) showing that phenylalanine is good for focus, mood, restlessness, stuff like that. They should be giving Diet Coke to poorly behaved children instead of methylphenidate.

They sell phenylalanine supplements on Amazon but why take those pills when you can get a perfect blend of aspartame (which is totally safe) and caffeine to balance your mood and help you get into a state of highly enhanced focus and verbal fluency. It’s no wonder why Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and other rich and powerful guys—that people hate for being too rich and powerful—all drink like 7-8 Diet Cokes every day.

I’ve been blown away by rewatching Family Guy Season 4. It’s really impressive, but falls off hard about 10 episodes into Season 5. There’s a subversive and unpredictable quality to these episodes that’s unlike any other show I’ve seen. I had these all recorded on my TiVo as a child and would watch them over and over, so it’s part of a dangerous regressive pattern (see my earlier recommendation of “chilling”), but I think these are some of the most creative episodes of comedy television ever made. They’re bursting with energy and the pacing is mind boggling, joke after joke after joke. I had forgotten how smart the show used to be. In my head it was kind of a dumb show for middle schoolers and adults with tattoos who work at vape shops, but I was wrong, I’ll admit it.

was about 2 in the morning, patrick and I were talking about how we hadn't had it in years. I told him I would get it sometimes as a kid, not too often, it always felt like a treat. so I opened up doordash and we just went for it. biscuits were the best part. chicken kinda got cold.
