This is Synergy Kombucha and you guys are probably ready for me to tell you how it tasted like a combination of hydrolic fluid, spoiled manatee milk, and ground hog piss but actually this didn’t taste too bad.
It tasted pretty traditional and had the standard Kombucha bite. Maybe I’m getting used to all these exotic drinks?
I actually love kombucha. Not because of the taste, but it’s benefits. And how healthy I feel when I drink it! Haha.
I always have a subconscious feeling that I'm drinking something that is good for me and is going to help me. But I never know if it is really doing anything or not.
what are the main benefits?
Well they act like you can get energy from these Kombuchas and also it is supposed to be good for your stomach bacteria. But I don't know how much of it is marketing vs science.
Yeah, you wonder about that. Seems like Companies can easily find loopholes to bypass things like FDA and other regulating entities.
Btw, damn you got an upvote from G girl. That peep is one of stingiest Steemians I've ever seen. I dropped and stopped Following G after I saw her History. I always try to be fair and give everyone a fair shake. But I can't tolerate blatant greed !
What did you have to do to get that , my man LOL :)
P.S. Hey Man I published a Post today and dedicated it to you . I think you will find it interesting. Nothing drama or anything, don't worry :) ;)
I know how you feel man. I have really went back and forth on different people's behavior at times. It is tough out there and also at times I have questioned the value of my own posts and everything that goes on here. I post a really diverse set of content which I think some like but it also screws me over for people to auto vote me. G girl had me on an auto vote at one time because we are OGs but she dropped me from that so I stopped voting her then she started voting here and there for me again. It is a very weird game. lol Also It is easy for us to speculate everyone's situation and everything going on. Another thing I was going to mention is that some people's blogs are what I would call a "content mill" where they just produce essentially the same thing over and over and over again which I guess could bring value but it seems more like a mechanical operation at times.
Yeah, I mean I hate to be l putting people 'under a microscope' and all. But I was Following her and saw where she would thank people from Commenting on her Blog. And I never saw any gesture of an Upvote ANYWEHRE on her Blog. I looked and finally came across one. And it was a small ittle Upvote. But it was really difficult to find.
Like I said I know it's easy to pick apart most anyone. Including my own self. Iam not perfect at all. But this is just very blatant imo.
I do not care about getting any Upvote from her at all. But it's the principle of it and seeing that her VP is always over 92%..well it just kind of gets to me.
She is young so I will chalk it up to that I guess. But I just know if I come into a windfall of money Iam going to hand out some BIG f-ing hits ( Rewards, to people who are producing good Content of course and put them on auto vote).
Stuff that will change f-ing lives. I don't give a sh@t Iam gong to buck the trend here even if it means my VP gets down to 10% lol
I know what you are saying and for the people like myself that got on here 2 years ago I had this impression that everyone would keep growing overtime and we would all "stick together" and there would be additional people who would get tacked on overtime kind of thing. that sort of wasn't the case for a lot of people.
And I would be lying if I said it didn't bother me. I mean you look at her account now and it is worth over $200,000 and from everything I have seen it has mainly been from the reward pool and not money brought in from outside an powered up. Like you said it has been this huge wind fall and I like the fact that I can even upvote people By $0.50 or $1. If I ended up like that then I would love upvoting people full power and making a tangible difference in someone's life.
I have had to reflect a lot on whether my perceptions on here are "jealousy" or what and the lines are always blurred. Sometimes I actually feel like I have never made any money on here and it was just a time trap more than anything. Because in December I powered up 0.5 BTC but that was from trading. Well now we have went several more months and at the time I did that it was worth like $9,000. At different points I have to pull a little out to pay bills so I can't continually accumulate power because of the amount of time I spend on this platform. Oddly enough I can't seem to get upvotes from DTube hardly. I have never got any from DLive. But Busy and eSteem have really helped me and the everyone else who is supportive. I don't mean to complain but I look at the amount of money I'm able to generate from here for how much time I spend and the fact that I have been on here for 2 years almost and then compare it to some of the others that seem to have went into greed mode and yeah it can be disappointing for sure.
There were mainly only a small handful of content creators who sort of made a solid chunk of money off this platform. I consider myself a mid level person on here but what I have noticed is that once they end up with a lot more power than you they tend to forget you. Then it pisses me off when I'm lucky to get an upvote 1 out of 20 posts but I upvote theirs on an auto voter every time. It is like I'm constantly having to remind people that I still exist. It is annoying.
People just look at it in so many different ways. a lot of people might see this as a way to set themselves up to have a magic money machine and if upvoting a certain person for a period of time gets them there then cool and if they no longer feel like that is the case then they will stop the upvotes.
But to be honest with you it is pretty rewarding to upvote someone in Nigeria or Indonesia that looks like they don't have much and know that it could seriously change the world by them just getting some decent upvotes.
You know I hate to say this and this might piss a lot of people off but a lot of it has to do with the way people are wired. Most do not have much control over it as it's more biological than anything else.
And whether we want to admit it or not it comes down to Empathy. Which incidentally can be can be totally different than Sympathy. ( And I have done a tremendous amount of studying on Empathy and how people have different degrees of it and it can directly attributed to the Structures of certain areas in the Brain like the amygdala and certain parts of frontal lobes )
Empathy is to be able to actually put yourself in someone else's shoes and actually feel and visualize what it would be like to be that person. Even if you cannot directly relate to the situation of that person.
Well, if I go a day and miss visiting his blog I have literally waking up in the middle of the night to go do it and give him a full powered one.Case and point.. @cryptopie. And yes I notice where you put him on Autovote. Which is awesome.
The reason?? Because I imagine what kind of hell that young man has been going through. I do not know him from adam but he is a fellow human being and that could easily be me or you or most anyone. The physical and mental anguish he has gone through is just unbelievable. But yet he keeps plugging right along . Just an amazingly strong person.
Like I said there are a lot of people who just do not have that Empathyy gene or whatever you want to call it. It's just not there. It doesn't even enter their Mind. So in a way I guess you can't get too angry with them. It doesn't make them bad people at all. Some of my closest childhood friends are that way
And I'm not trying to toot my horn..it's just people are different, that's all
hahhahahahahaha wkwwkw
does it work like a slimming drug?
It looks inviting!!! I'm sure it will taste nice
I'm getting used to all these food drinks
Is it energy drink ?
before taking any dreanks we should see its manufecture and its description.... so much fat is really hearmful for health...
Can you share your kombucha with me?
@brainphobos
You know it works when you get a non-foul smelling fart. It is good fro the digestion too, good bacteria eating digesting your food for you and then when they die they would release these nutrients for your gut to absorb and at the same time good bacteria fights bad bacteria too.
