Why Smartfood Popcorn Doesn't Hit Like It Used To (eater.com)
Smartfood White Cheddar popcorn is the only snack I ever want. I mean this. I do not often crave sweets, and while I will happily accept chips and Cheetos and various Haldiram’s mixes, Smartfood is the only one that sends me into a focused stupor. I have regularly eaten entire bags of it — big ones, the ones meant for a whole family — while watching a movie.

Math That Matters: The Case for Probability over Polynomials (anandsanwal.me)

The day I canceled my Spotify subscription (raed.dev)
I used to be a big fan of Spotify. I was such a fan that I went to extraordinary lengths to get access to it while I lived in Tunisia, years before I was technically allowed to use it there.

I hated Dubai until I learned about it (sive.rs)
Dubai was in my “Top 5 places where I NEVER want to go”. I heard it was commercialized hedonism, glorified overindulgence, pandering to millionaires and influencers — extravagance and opulence. Everything I hate. That's why I had never gone there.

You are how you resist (medium.com)
If you live in Amsterdam, you’ve probably seen a coffee chain called Cafecito. Decent coffee, minimalist typographic logo, snowy-white walls, clean geometry of interior objects, perfectly lined up branded merchandise on wooden shelves. I hate it. It is less authentic than Starbucks on a train station. Cafecito is so outstandingly unremarkable that its facelessness feels to me like a personal insult.
