If you like your coffee black, you may be someone who prefers strong flavours, takes good care of their health, or just wants to drink their coffee the way it’s supposed to be drunk.
At least, that’s according to a new study published in the journal Appetite, which found a correlation between a love of black coffee and sadist or psychopathic tendencies.
The research surveyed more than 1,000 adults, asking them to give their food and flavour preferences. The participants then took a series of personality tests assessing antisocial personality traits, such as sadism, narcissism and psychopathy.
The study, carried out by researchers at the University of Innsbruck, found that a preference for bitter flavours was linked to psychopathic behaviour.
The study missed a key, deciding factor: the coffee that psychopaths drink black is instant.

but one cannot buy hot coffee.
At Starbucks in Portland, a hot coffee is $2.25 but you can't use food stamps.
At most grocery stores around here, one can buy Stumptown cold brew for $4.00 - and you can pay with food stamps.

It's dependent on a background check. My background is a multitude of sins.
When the recruiter mentioned it, I replied "I'm going to flunk your background check" then detailed my life of crime. I also told him that I have Bipolar-Type Schizoaffective Disorder. He didn't seem concerned that I was mentally ill.
The Americans with Disabilities Act forbids job and housing discrimination against the mentally ill. But they can still choose not to hire me because of my conduct, even if it was caused by my illness.
He discussed my rap sheet with a director, and said it would only be a problem if my crimes would affect my work. He gave the example of a candidate for a job driving cars who had a history of DWI.
I asked for a metric fuckton of money. The recruiter said "That's in the right ballpark."
