War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
Pacifism is Warmongery
So, no.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Pacifist - what you would do in the bathroom if you swallowed a hand, whole.
Pacifier - if you dine on scotch bonnets the evening before.
So what's so complicated ?

So, this AM I took my caffeine ingestion to a new level. Along with the second cup (450ml/ea) I made my Oatmeal/Raisin with coffee instead of hot water.
Meanwhile, it's expected to reach 35C in NYC.
Live long and perspire.
[update]
Oatmeal is rich, but a bit more bitter - like well hopped beer. Raisins then embellish the experience with sparks of sweetness.

Water? Not milk, or is it one those mixes with milk powder in it?
I like my morning cereal with milk, cold milk - if it's been out of the fridge more than 10 seconds it's too warm and I switch to toast.
Coffee: strong, black, no sugar, no nothing (incl. whiskey etc) - coffee must never be mixed with anything (except a little water) - if you don't like that taste, time to grow up.

I've always agreed with you. I learned I like 'medium' roasts. I have a friend who blends and roasts his own coffee and believes dark roast ruins the coffee.
I also have a family member that likes dark roasts. He also drinks a lot of milk products in his coffee. After a brief experiment, I realized the milk is to make the ruined coffee palatable.

Nope. Just "Quick Oats" so I can let them "cook" in the bowl of boiling water. Milk? Gag!. Mixes? Fake milk and lots of sugar. GagGag!.
Coffee was directly from a coffee urn.
Overall, the taste seemed to get better as I ate it. No so much on further equilibration, but like eating spicy food. One adapts to the perceived heat and it tastes ever better as it's scarfed down.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord said of coffee: Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.
Frankly, I prefer his view to yours

I eat oatmeal most days (porridge in the UK) most days and have tried it with coffee. Don;t have it with milk any more, just water and honey. As a kid, my dad would make it fresh and we'd have it with salt or thick cream or carnation milk - I still like the old bowl of cornflakes with a can of carnation milk.

Ingesting Carnation milk, directly, or in beverages? I've only seen it done by comparatively recent immigrants. Over in this part of the world we'd use half&half (or soy equivalent).
I like(d) the stuff in my coffee but drink it black for the last few years. Originally to cut down of saturated fats, but now, I'm so used to it I prefer it.

Either drink straight out of can or on cereal! As I said, don't really do that any more - pretty sure it can't be good for you!
Oddly, don't like half-n-half and drink coffee black but have tea with a splash of milk. Apart from the odd indulgence no longer consume dairy or, at least, very little.

they got the warning I sent them : "strong winds ahead!"

Remember to send them a "heavy traffic ahead" warning the next time Cassini goes through Saturn's rings.
