    YSK: If your espresso tastes "good", it's not real espresso

The idea that espresso should have a "pleasant" taste is a modern, American concept with no root in traditional preparation.

Espresso, by definition, should imbue an intense bitterness and discomfort without any hint of sweetness or enjoyability. If you find yourself enjoying such taste notes as "chocolately", "caramel", "creamy", "fruity" etc please understand that you are drinking a coffee flavored children's beverage which would be more appropriately served at a Starbuck's drive-thru than a traditional Italian cafe.
    In traditional Japanese archery, you train for a long time before you ever actually shoot an arrow at a target. Stance, breathing, movement. Eventually you get to hold the bow, and it's a while after that before you get to put an arrow to the string, and even then you will not get to loose the arrow at the target until your instructor believes you are ready.

No no one wants to hear this, but drinking the shot is like releasing the arrow. And you are probably not ready for that. The first 6 months should be just setting up the machine and then cleaning it. Focus on your breathing, focus on your posture. Then you can spend a few months grinding beans maybe, but do not try to pack the puck before you are ready and I mean ready. After a year or so, maybe you can start boiling water.

Tasting the shot is something that comes at the end of a long long road. Maybe a hundred shots should go straight into the sink first. Maybe more. Point is, you can't rush this.

    When I flash somebody, its like they get slapped by a napkin from a little kids birthday party

      The infamous flash bang rage in MW3

      Originated from a in-game rant of Youtuber (FaZe Jev) getting flashed on COD Modern Warfare 3 which became a meme. Its sometimes known as the flash bang rage and can appear in many different variation depending on the game.

        Natalie Portman is the reason I work out

          "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." meme

          Started as a comment on Reddit satirizing Anakin’s cheesy line of not liking sand when talking to Padme. The comment later became a meme and is often used whenever fans talk about Anakin hitting on Padme or impressing Padme in general.

          Natalie Portman is the reason I work out. I have this fantasy where we start talking at the Vanity Fair Oscars party bar. We exchange a few pleasantries. She asks what I do. I say I loved her in New Girl. She laughs. I get my drink.

"Well, see ya," I say and walk away. I've got her attention now. How many guys voluntarily leave a conversation with Natalie Portman? She touches her neck as she watches me leave.

Later, as the night's dragged on and the coterie of gorgeous narcissists grows increasingly loose, she finds me on the balcony, my bowtie undone, smoking a cigarette.

"Got a spare?" she asks.

"What's in it for me?" I say as I hand her one of my little white ladies. She smiles.

"Conversation with me, duh."

I laugh.

"What's so funny?" she protests.

"Nothing, nothing... It's just... don't you grow tired of the egos?"

"You get used to it," she says, lighting her cigarette and handing me back the lighter.

"What would you do if you weren't an actress?" I ask.

"Teaching, I think."

"And if I was your student, what would I be learning?"

"Discipline," she says quickly, looking up into my eyes, before changing the subject. "Where are you from?"

"Bermuda," I say.

"Oh wow. That's lovely."

"It's ok," I admit. "Not everything is to my liking."

"What could possibly be not to your liking in Bermuda?" she inquires.

"I don't like sand," I tell her. "It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."

          C’mon! I spend all fucking day working my ass off at my bullshit job

            It's floe. Ice Floe.

C'mon!

I spend all fucking day working my ass off at my bullshit job that does nothing for humanity, then get in my shitty little car and fucking kill an innocent squirrel on the way home because the asshole behind me was tailgating me so I couldn't sloe down enough to let the little guy scramble across the street, then I get home and have to cook some fucking food for myself and I'm fucking starving but oh wait, apparently the freezer broke while I was gone and all my ice melted and leaked into everything and water logged my milk carton causing it to weaken and rupture and so I had to clean all that fucking shit up and because if I don't clean up the milk, I'm gonna get the roaches again, and last time that happened, I accidentally ate several roaches a day because they would just shoot right into my mouth and I have fucking idea why and the roach meat made me fucking sick as a dog and I'd throe up which would attract more roaches, new, different roaches, and when the new roaches get together with the old roaches, they form some sort of synergistic roach society and they keep trying to shoot up my pant legs and mess with my junk, so I gotta wear the special underwear again with the hose clamps, and all I wanna do it just sit down with my phone propped up in the crook of my elboe and see some witty puns on Reddit, but what do I see?

Fucking flow instead of floe.

I'm done with this world, man. Let the roaches take me at this point. They can finally have my body. What am I even fighting for anymore?

            I need your advice… I have a 12 year old sister called Melisa but I started calling her Yui

              The SAO live action remake is looking fucking wild
              I need your advice...

I have a 12 year old sister called Melisa but I started calling her Yui when I became an otaku when I was 15 and later, she became an anime fan when she was 11. Now I have done something so terrible that I can't sleep...

What happened is that I'm a lolicon, I like loli hentai... For a month, she saw me watching that hentai and then she investigated on the subject herself... I didn't know she was spying on me so I kept watching my degenerate shit unconcerned, until one day Yui called me Onii-Chan. I felt very shameful but everything got out of control when she started to moan like a loli to make fun of me... That cunt thought she was a loli. I didn't think much of it, until I started to think that... She could like me.

I know it's sickening but since incest is my fetish, I started to woo her and little by little, we fell in love... We even got to the point of kissing.

One night our parents weren't home she and I had sex... No joke, that was the best damn night of my life. We did it over and over again and I lost control of myself when she moaned and called me Onii-Chan. We were a couple in secret... Since she was 12, I never thought I'd get her pregnant...

She was at our grandparent's home when she sent me a message telling me that she was pregnant. I couldn't sleep that night and I didn't know what to do, I was considering making her have an abortion... I thought the protagonists in these stories were happy... Now I know how hard the life of two siblings who love each other with a 5 year age gap could be.

Yui has offered me to act like it was rape and I had nothing to do with it, but for some reason I can't accept it. I have until Monday to find a solution...
