Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If I only had a brain...
Our in-house nutritionist, who is a sweet if optimistic girl, put up displays outside all the company cafeterias on the Evils of Caffeine, complete with displays of how many milligrams of caffeine various beverages contained.
I'm betting she got no takers. Without caffeine, there is no software. Me, I need four or five cups of tea to boot the brain.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I can't believe that I'm the first person to say "I wish I knew how to quit coffee"

complete with displays of how many milligrams of caffeine various beverages contained.
That's pretty handy, although probably not in the way she intended.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
When I don't drink coffee, my skin looks better, my stomach doesn't feel like I've been downing Drain-O, I don't shake as much, and I'm probably a more mellow and satisfying person to be around.
However, I'm also about two zillion IQ points stupider, and all the time is nappy time, so coffee it is until I am magically independently wealthy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My first boss told me I wasn't a real programmer because I indulged in neither coffee nor caffeinated soft drinks.
I think I was a good programmer, but in retrospect, no, I wasn't a real one.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
With all respect to people who can quit it, caffeine is the finest drug EVER. It's cheap! It's on every street corner! They put it in lots of tasty items! It wakes you up and makes you feel better and the only side effect is withdrawal!
I t heart caffeine.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Even after almost 3 months, I miss caffeine. I'm pretty sure that's not going to go away.

Then why are people saying it has negative effects worth quitting it to avoid?

I think you should all smoke instead.
