2018-12-14 at 3:41 AM UTC in Happiness is an unrealistic goalHumans are not built in a way that makes us happy all the time. We are built on problem solving and reward. It's supposed to make the entire effort worth it. Did you finally fuck that hot bitch from the tribe over the hill? Good job dude, here are some chemicals to make you feel good. Did you steal some honey from those fucking goddamned bees? Nice! Enjoy that sugar rush.
Every moment of happiness in life is fleeting. It's actually a good thing. Imagine if we were just happy all the fucking time? It wouldn't work. We needed to be unhappy and uncomfortable to progress as a species. That's why we covered ourselves in furs when we were cold, and rode horses when our feet were tired. Discontent drives innovation. We aren't happy with the world, so we change it.
Now maybe you aren't exactly thinking "Why am I not happy 24/7" but you might be thinking "Why am I so unhappy?" It might feel like you are especially depressed, or that there's something wrong with you, but there isn't. We are built to be unhappy. We're at our happiest when we are problem solving and innovating and seeing ourselves be successful.
I think the most one can hope for in life is to find a spot where you are content for most of the time, and happy as often as you can be. To me this is a much more reasonable and reachable goal than seeking to create a life that's 'perfect' because it will never be perfect. We can never be truly happy. -

So all the other people who are not acting right, are not using rational thought. -

Originally posted by gadzooks I do taste subtle differences, actually sometimes not even so subtle.
But can I actually label them with quantitative valuations for each so-called "note of flavor"? No, I cannot.
Oh yeah lol. That shit like that list you posted is absolutely chumfucking silly.
This thread is making me want to buy a bottle. -

2018-12-14 at 3:19 AM UTC in When you're at the store buying liquor and walk into the 'mixer' aisleMy family is from an area of Mexico that is famous for its tequila, so we have access to all the good shit. What they'll do is put it in a shot glass with lime wedges on hand while they sip at the tequila and nibble on the lime. I used to get yelled at as a kid because I would steal all the lime wedges.
I can't fucking stand the stuff though. It makes me gag every time. I don't know how people drink it. -

Originally posted by gadzooks Glenfiddich is decent.
I haven't tried every brand of Single Malt Scotch out there, admittedly.
In fact, I haven't even tried every type (they vary based on where in Scotland they come from).
But as a general rule, the more aged, the better, and single malt is always superior to blended scotch.
Other than that, personal taste will become a factor.
Some prefer Speyside single malts (such as Glenfiddich), whereas others prefer Islay or Highland brands.
Scotch is an interesting type of liquor, with a lot of history, and some pretentious zealots / over-the-top fanatics out there.
I sometimes can't even tell if they're just utterly full of it, or really able to distinguish between such subtle nuances as how floral vs how fruity a certain scotch is, or if it's slightly more nutty than it is malty.
Scotch enthusiasts can be pretty precise with their alleged flavor profiles.
Say what you want about me being a pleb or what have you, but I just like it aged well and single malt. Beyond that, those subtle nuances are beyond my palette's detection.
You don't notice anything? I can definitely taste the different flavors in bourbons and stuff, but you have to put a bit of water in it or take REALLY small sips and kinda let it sit on your tongue.
I like Evan Williams and I can definitely taste that sweet woody vanilla taste. Some other stuff that people describe, I wouldn't even begin to be able to recognize. -

Originally posted by HTS Chasing > mixed drinks, with few exceptions. Those exceptions being complex, fruity cocktails that you feel gay for drinking and like… the cuba libre. But even then, like, chasing a shot of rum with coke is pretty much just as good.
I have never understood the need for a chaser. Like, what, you wanna look like a tough bitch drinking liquor, but you also don't wanna taste it? -

Originally posted by gadzooks I'd probably proceed with extreme caution there.
There's having an unlimited dating pool, and then there's, you know, legal, ethical, and practical limitations.
Also, you forgot farm and jungle animals.
There be some fine ass female non-human primates. Bonobo bitches be fine as hell.
Being a bonobo honestly sounds like the shit. They just fuck to solve conflicts. -

Originally posted by gadzooks The only whiskey I drink really is Scotch, and pretty much only Single Malt and preferably at least 18 years old, but I'll settle for a 15 year old, or even a 12 year old if I'm desperate.
In which case, I either drink it straight, or with a splash of water, or sometimes with club soda / carbonated water (especially if I have to settle for a, *gasp*, blended scotch).
Other than that, I drink virtually no other spirits.
I'll drink beer, cider, malt liquor (40 oz of Olde English out of the brown paper bag), etc.
But when it comes to spirits, I get a little more picky and pretentious.
What are some brands you'd recommend? -
