\u00e2\u20ac\u009dCool Prius!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (said nobody)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps a blend or a hybrid (or even worse, plug-in hybrid) is a poor compromise. Hybrids are boring \u00e2\u20ac\u201d they please nobody. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not fast, nor are they loud, nor are they that fast. Electric cars are great because you can innovate so much more with them \u00e2\u20ac\u201d no engine means you can innovate so much more with the cabin space. Also the downside of hybrid cars that we still need to do oil changes! Like Elon Musk said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hybrid cars are still 100% dependent on oil.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n

No halfway measures. Either eat an all you can eat meat buffet, or fast.<\/p>\n

Same with working out \u00e2\u20ac\u201d either an insanely epic one rep max at the gym, or just sleep or nap and chill at home. Maybe same with coffee consumption \u00e2\u20ac\u201d either drink a shitload or none at all.<\/p>\n

Also, either 100% arabica or 100% robusta \u00e2\u20ac\u201d no blends.<\/p>\n

Also with fabrics, either 100% merino wool or 100% polyester. Either 100% natural or 100% synthetic.<\/p>\n

With cars, better to either have a Tesla or a gas-guzzler. Also for Lamborghini \u00e2\u20ac\u201d either Lambo doors (scissor doors) or nothing. Anti Hurucan.<\/p>\n

Also with pricing, either very expensive or free.<\/p>\n

Yin or yang. Woman as white, man as black. Anti grey.<\/p>\n

Clothes as more stylish either when very tight fitting, or oversized. No medium.<\/p>\n

Aesthetically, either insanely minimalist, or extremely maximalist and busy.<\/p>\n

Either masculine or feminine, nothing in-between.<\/p>\n

Either made in China, or USA \u00e2\u20ac\u201d nothing in-between.<\/p>\n

Anti SUV, anti crossover.<\/p>\n

Either 2-seater sportscar, or coupe, or nothing. Anti 4-door \u00e2\u20ac\u0153sports sedan\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

With Porsche, either 911 or nothing.<\/p>\n

With Ford, either F150 Raptor, Shelby or nothing.<\/p>\n

Either racecar (track only), or no car.<\/p>\n

Either American or Chinese \u00e2\u20ac\u201d no in-between cultures.<\/p>\n

With powerlifting, either 100% raw (no belt, no straps, no knee wraps) or 100% equipped.<\/p>\n

With ethics, either silent or 100% full-force anger.<\/p>\n

With your kid, either 100% present or 0% present.<\/p>\n

Long hair or buzz cut \u00e2\u20ac\u201d no inbetween.<\/p>\n

Either 100% invested, or 0% invested. With cryptocurrency, either bitcoin or nothing.<\/p>\n

Also with electric cars, either Tesla or nothing.<\/p>\n

Either rich or poor. Also when choosing a profession, best to optimize to get a job that is insanely moneymaking, rather than a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153middle paying job\u00e2\u20ac\u009d like marketing advertising. Certainly do not work for a nonprofit. Either be a banker or nothing.<\/p>\n

Oh if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not an entrepreneur, and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not interested in working for yourself, better to have an extremely lucrative job and 100% focus on your passion on the side, rather than striving to get an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153in between\u00e2\u20ac\u009d job.<\/p>\n

With living, either live in the city or in the countryside. Do not live in the suburbs. Also, do not live in Brooklyn. Either you live in Manhattan, or nowhere.<\/p>\n

With shoes, either barefoot or Vibram five fingers, or Goretex boots, no in between.<\/p>\n

Either man or woman. <\/p>\n

Also perhaps either desktop or mobile, anti laptop.<\/p>\n

With education, either phd or nothing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
