When you get up early and go to bed late all week, and around Wednesday morning you start feeling that you can not continue this without getting a proper sleep first.

Get the mid-week crisis mug.You average ignoramus will remember 3 facts about WW2:
- The Japs bombed Pearl Harbour
- Hitler killed 6 million jews
- The Allies won
I could ramble on for years about my WW2 knowledge as I've read hundreds of books by various authors - American, British, French, Chinese, Russian, German, Japanese... and one fact stands out from all - the victor dictates popular history, ie. that which is published in text books, general facts that people can recall etc. etc.
War crimes and atrocities were indeed committed by both Allied and Axis soldiers. The Allies won the war, therefore dictated popular history. Ever thought it strange that Allied troops "didn't" commit war crimes, and those that did were documented were only Russian? That's a combination of post war/Cold war propaganda. Most people never heard of British troops mercilessly gunning down French civilians who were looting dead Allied troops, or Americans executing Poles and Ukranians fighting for the Germans, Canadians executing German tank crews after fierce restistance at Caen, American Jews nailing captured German officers to barn doors and bayonetting them...
We all know what atrocities the Germans and Japanese committed and I am in no way saying they were distorted or made up... just know that Allied troops didn't exactly come home smelling of roses

Get the CGD crisis mug.A Millennial phenomenon in which a young adult, usually 25, who has yet to establish a career is in an odd position where they realize they turn 40 in 15 years. Individuals experiencing such a crisis are often out of college with a B.A. in the Arts and Sciences, work retail, and ruminate over the missed opportunities of youth and the crippling fear of growing old. They are compelled to find a meaning in their life, but become overwhelmed by knowing that no matter what they do, they are robbing themselves of valuable time to do something else. Because of this, they often choose to do nothing but entertain themselves by binge watching Netflix shows on their parents' account. They have little concern for the importance of money as they live in their childhood bedrooms rent-free.
Abdul, who chose a career in STEM with the knowledge that he would be kicked out of his parents' house, is not experiencing the mid-youth crisis of Jody, who's main concern is not learning the guitar he bought when he was sixteen nine years later.
