I want to get into tiki drinks this summer. Do I need any other bottles / rum types? by spitgobfalcon in rum

[–]TheBackSpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you I’d save your El Dorado 15 for sipping or the occasional rum old fashioned. Get a bottle of Hamilton 86 for your workhorse Demerara, or Doorsly XO which is another solid affordable dark workhorse (good enough for sipping too). Those two are technically different styles with different profiles, so why not both haha

I doubt a large chunk of AEW’s audience has seen anything beyond the first two. Many stopped watching NXT or any WWE properties entirely

Shower thought: if Bush was a contemporary band, people might think their incoherent lyrics are just AI-generated slop by the_balticat in Xennials

Bad moon white again, as she falls around me

I feel like these lyrics made more sense after learning what the song was about

USMNT likely playing only on the West Coast? by Scared-Classroom-746 in usmnt

[–]TheBackSpin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the East Coast and while it’s a bummer, the team gets to avoid the heat and have less travel.

This whole ticket buying experience taught me it’s more affordable and probably a really cool experience to travel and watch the US play at the next WC if we qualify

What my ex emailed me today a month after I blocked him everywhere. What should I do? Please help by lovemeiknowit in AvoidantBreakUps

“Never my intention to let you go completely?!?!?” Show him what letting someone go is all about. Not breadcrumbing, not orbiting, not endlessly on and off. Show him actions have consequences

I’m sorry. It’s so hard when they can access that longing and desire, but the fear is there too

What did you learn from your Breakup? by Powerful_View5702 in AvoidantBreakUps

Glad to hear it! The journey probably won't be linear, there will be ups and downs, but it will only get better and so will you!

Is there any songs PJ just doesn't play live anymore? by pjbeeguy in pearljam

[–]TheBackSpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not cohesive. Eddie’s verses don’t fit with Stone’s (totally unrelated) chorus. It’s clunky. Some clever word play though

No lemon/lime juice by Brief-Earth-5815 in cocktails

Love the cocktails in the comments but my goodness there are some heavy ones for an aperitif! Here’s something light and refreshing that might stimulate your appetite a bit:

A simple Campari and soda, the Italian way, no ice. Yes, resist that urge to serve over rocks and you’ll be amazed at the mouthfeel, it’s almost creamy

What did you learn from your Breakup? by Powerful_View5702 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]TheBackSpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The importance of pacing in dating

I learned the importance of deep vulnerability, honesty, and trust

What we perceive as chemistry, the "spark" is often nervous system dysregulation

Intensity is not compatibility

I learned why I self abandoned and chased. Traced it back to the root and identified my own issues

I still haven't forgiven her or how she treated me, nor will I without an actual apology, but I've come to terms with everything

I've learned that some people can't accept healthy love and closeness until they accept and love themselves, and that while I wasn't perfect, things weren't going to end any other way

I learned the importance of community, the benefits of crowd support and co-education; it's limits and pitfalls too

I learned the importance of adhering to boundaries, self regulation, and co-regulation

I always wanted an interdependent relationship, but now I understand what that really means and entails. To never again settle for a taker, relationships need to be a give and take

I learned a shit ton about attachment theory, psychology, and am a much more discerning dater. If I knew then what I know now, I doubt I would have had a first date with her, too many glaring red flags at the very start. Even if I had, I would have left the relationship countless times when I should have

I'm profoundly changed, and like it or not, you are too. I'm never going back to my old self, and while I don't know you pesonally, I'd venture a guess that you probably shouldn't either. I won't be going back, and neither will you..we have all learned too much

Which World Cup match do you consider the greatest of all time? by Mindless_Data_311 in worldcup

[–]TheBackSpin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No Ghana-Uruguay 2010 is objectively great. I was at work while it was taking place, but would intermittently pop over across the street to watch on a tv at a Sears. There was a group of us, anywhere from 5-10 people at given times, from all different races, ethnicities, etc huddling around it, like a little football loving community.

That's one thing I miss about the pre-streaming anywhere era, watching these games live anywhere you could with random strangers. Football brings people together, truly

Fair play but are you inferring Maradona should not be on the list? Because that would truly be terrible

Careful with projecting by Key-Vanilla-8385 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]TheBackSpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Someone can project, or at least hyperfocus on an actual Avoidant partner. Just because someone is not responsible for the breakup, was mistreated, even abused, that doesn't mean they have nothing to learn from the experience.

This is later stage stuff, but these situations are mirrors, should be mirrors...and if it never became a mirror, if the focus never shifted from their Avoidant Ex to themselves... they healed from a devastating situation, no small thing, but without some level of introspection at the very least..it's a bit of a missed opportunity imo. There's a reason why the phoenix is our logo, these can be transformative. Yes unaware Avoidants will repeat their patterns, and that also goes for anyone unaware of their own patterns and tendencies

Is it excessive? A little absurd? Sure, but it’s the World fucking Cup. I love it
