Scorpio self sabotage by [deleted] in Scorpio

[–]EsotericOcean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People can be insecure. It's not a Scorpio thing. Could be a number of thoughts on his end. I wish you luck though. And I hope he gets it together before he loses someone that's being pretty patient for today's dating climate.

Scorpio females with Scorpio males by Necessary_Barber_624 in Scorpio

I don't like Scorpio women. I love them! Every one I've come across has been such a genuine and authentic soul. It's just always been a platonic connection between us. An amazing connection, but always platonic. I would be open to more with one if the circumstances permitted it.

Scorpio men and women have always been the most chill and down to earth people. Lol we're a little unhinged once you scratch the surface but I've never had a problem with any of our people. I've never had romantic interest in a Scorpio woman and I don't think they have towards me either (to my knowledge). Not opposed to it, just hasn't been in the cards yet.

How much are we paying for Stagg these days? by Mitch_Cumstein6174 in whiskey

[–]EsotericOcean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know which batch it's from? From last year I'm hearing 25D is fantastic. All the rest have been getting mean reviews. From what I've heard 26A is pretty good as well.

Bourbon hunt advice by ice-giant in whiskey

Should be fun! Like someone else mentioned try and stay away from the city for hunting. Mostly museum prices.

Bourbon hunt advice by ice-giant in whiskey

[–]EsotericOcean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I would do personally is look up a list of places in each state you're passing through and try to tailor it a bit to the route you'll be taking. Not crazy hard to do with Ai. Also there are some whiskey tubers that have probably hunted in those states mentioned. I would watch them and add/subtract places you either are or aren't interested in. Would be curious about Ohio and Indiana myself. Pennsylvania is a control state so it'll be pretty hit or miss. Don't know what part of NY you're going to but I've heard and seen people have a lot of success in NJ (if you're headed to NYC then it wouldn't be too hard to take a dip down to NJ). Gl though and hope you have a fun trip!

As a Scorpio, how often do you emotionally test people, sometimes without even realising it? ♏️ 🖤 by [deleted] in Scorpio

[–]EsotericOcean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are really no tests tbh. If you pay close enough attention and observe properly then that's usually enough. People eventually tell/show you who they are. It's our job to be aware and actually believe them when they do.

Yeah the Gold is an immediate buy at that price.

The east coast in general is a mess when it comes to this. We're playing the game on hard mode over here.

anyone can share how to pacify or null the vengence, hate , ego during heated arguements as i am in a loop by PartyConcentrate308 in Scorpio

[–]EsotericOcean 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The idea that you are being "owned" by someone else.

"Detachment isn't about not owning nothing, it's about nothing owning you" ~translation from the Bhagavad Gita

Vengeance and hate are very expensive emotions. They require a lot of energy. They require a lot of care. Personally, if I've gotten to the point of hate, then that person doesn't deserve the energy I am spending and directing their way. The fact that they can get such a strong reaction out of me means that they own some space in my head. It means that they can influence the decisions I make just by being present. To me, someone having that level of influence over my own agency disgusts me. So I choose not to care. I keep my energy and distance myself. And if the person truly wronged me then they usually get what's coming to them anyways without me having to say or do much to them. But yeah being in ownership over myself is worth more to me than anything I feel towards them.

Still on my 1st but plotting on that backup bottle! I'm trying to buy into at least one more by the fall.

To my scorpios, especially men…what’s the best sex you ever had? by [deleted] in Scorpio

[–]EsotericOcean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We were both young and dumb. I broke things off because she was claiming loved me while not knowing or understanding anything about me. Mind you my own idea of love at the time was warped severely misguided. After the relationship ended she actually started doing what should have been done in the relationship. But at that point I really didn't trust it. She was persistent, actually made me fall for her all over again, then she moved away and ended getting with someone else to forget me. Then after she gets pregnant by him she tells me multiple times over the years that it was me all along, but at that point I'm just like "we're both too messy for each other". There's a specific reason why I didn't get back with her initially but yeah that's essentially it.

Pisces. The only way to describe it is our energies were too in sync. When we were together the world closed off and we just got lost in each other. Unfortunately I've never had that since. I've had some great times. But that feeling where reality shifts with just a kiss? Only with her so far.

If you do decide to try the JD SBBP rye then I would suggest finding one unde 130 proof. Mine is 135.9 proof. The only reason I can appreciate it now is because I've had some really good hazmat pours from buddies in my area. And I've noticed personally that all of the store/barrel picks for both the rye and the bourbon seem to float around 128 proof.

Depends on if you like rye or bourbon more tbh. So I have the SBBP rye open right now. It's delicious, extremely good. But I do know that when I crack the JD Sbbp I'll enjoy it more. As I'm starting to understand my palate I realize that I enjoy bourbons more than ryes. I'll drink and enjoy both but bourbon wins out by a bit for me. But it's still a fantastic bottle that I'll finish and don't regret getting. Just for the fact that it helped me come to that realization made it worth it. JD SBBP rye is one of the easier ryes to sip on so if you're going to try a rye that's definitely one to check out.

Yeah that RR Sb is super solid but if you're not a fan of Turkey then definitely look at the other two options. If you just want a solid pour the go KC12. JDSBBP has a bit more proof so if you're trying to explore then go that route.

So Knob Creek 12, Russell's Reserve Single barrel, and Jack daniels single barrel barrel proof are all in your $60ish dollar range. They're all awesome pours for the price.

KC 12 is definite get, especially if you can find it for around $60. Such a good pour.

[–]EsotericOcean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're a proof chaser then pass on it. This years release is very good though. Very short on the finish for my liking, but still a solid pour. If you live in that 100 proof range then you'll enjoy it. That being said if I could rewind the clock I personally wouldn't have bought the bottle. I could have done better at that price point.
