I definitely did a crap ton of college club work today and then came back to my room and worked on some ITPs and pushed a new update of python-vector to the Debian archive.
Safe to say, I'm a bit less stressed today than usual. I guess it really helps with that when you don't set deadlines for yourself.
I decided to completely ban caffeine and have strict limitations on refined sugar, to the point of almost never consuming it.
I went cold turkey on both of those last week and I cannot express how better I feel mentally and physically.
It's crazy how we have this poison so easily available. If I knew that caffeine is really this bad, I would've never had it in my life.

Didn’t realise it until I went cold turkey on caffeine for 2 days which triggered a severe migraine today which I’m still suffering from.

January 11 was the day when Aaron Swartz was killed by the academic publishing industry who are now happy to make deals with his contemporary, the compulsive liar Sam Altman.
The system puts some people to death for scraping while making others billionaires for doing the same thing. Mark Zuckerberg has torrented the entirety of libgen with no consequences.
