Why I can’t stand the word “energy”

“Energy is …” That’s how the ad starts… at least the one that haunts me regularly on that video platform. Before I start looking at a certain video clip my earphone shouts out those words. As soon as I hear the “E” of “Energy” I skip the ad. I don’t have the desire to continue […]
