I typically buy at least 1 coffee a day for $7 at starbucks. Without this, I cannot function. I still cannot justify paying for any media. Certainly not $10+/month for Spotify or Netflix. Sorry. I don't care this seems inconsistent, its consistent to my own beliefs.

They sell caffeine tabs- 200mg each. A bottle of 80 is $7 at CVS. I agree with you on the subscriptions though. I'd rather buy something for life- not have it buy me for life.

Do you pay for cable tv? How do you consume media? Piracy?

Hell no to cable TV. Hell yes to piracy.

Your beliefs are that coffee is infinitely more valuable than media, even though you need both in your life?

I need coffee, I don't need to pay for media. I want media, and I find it.

Actually this is untrue. Your coffee is also a desire which you find.

It is clearly a ridiculous assertion that a human being needs coffee. If you never had a cup of coffee again you would not die from that lack.

You need your psychoactive drug fix (caffeine), not coffee.
