Does drinking a single Red Bull give you anxiety?

It can feel that way because stimulants increase your heart rate. What size was it? I'd strongly advise against drinking an entire large can at once. When it comes to caffeine i find that less is more. I dilute my coffee with plenty of milk and when i do have energy drinks (though i generally try to avoid them) i will water them down in a 50-50 ratio.

I have been finishing to read the book AntiDrug Capitalism(is from an author that could be considered trotskyist) and this part made me hate the US more.

The translation of the highlighted part is the following:

In 2011, Pemex filed a lawsuit in Houston against ten US oil and pipeline companies for collaborating with organized crime by buying stolen natural gas from Mexico's Burgos Basin.

“The cartels built tunnels and their own pipelines to facilitate the theft .... All defendants have participated in and profited - knowingly or unknowingly - from the trafficking of illegal condensate into the United States and thereby encouraged and financed the Mexican organized crime groups that stole the condensate,” the complaint states.

All of these entities have been militarized as part of the drug war, and some of them have high levels of displacement due to war-related violence.

Y aún así, los yanquis se creen los protectores de democracia y soberanía mundial.

La propaganda gringa funciona tristemente. Es muy buena engañando a la gente con slogans que ni los mismísimos yanquis creen.

Thinking about how to translate USian into Dutch. I was thinking about Verenigde Statener for people, and Verenigde Statenlijk to describe something. Of course you can shorten it to Statener and Statenlijk.

Spanish has a word for USian that gets serious use, estadounidense, but it's long so most say americano/a instead
