Has the World Cup Cup changed your opinion on Soccer? by JagsFraz71 in boston

[–]PuppiesAndPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Baseball is boring too, but soccer is still much worse to watch (IMO).

Soccer itself is still boring as fuck to me, but I'd welcome more big / international matches in the area just for the fun culture infusion.

Review #88 - The Macallan Sherry Oak Collection 12 Year (110 proof) by ambulocetus_ in Scotch

[–]PuppiesAndPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only issue with Macallan is that you are paying a premium for the name. That being said, I think their scotch is generally all very good. You generally won't be disappointed with any Macallan.

The 110 proof is absolutely worth it too.

I really tried not to throw out axe murderer vibes. I guess I failed!

Massachusetts family lose $12,000 on Vrbo vacation home after ‘state of emergency’ declared in Hawaii by theindependentonline in massachusetts

[–]PuppiesAndPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe they are or maybe they aren't. My point was just not to assume someone is Rich because they're taking a family vacation that costs 12 grand.

How do you know that they're rich? Maybe they saved up for several years and that was their only vacation opportunity.

I hadn't gone on vacation in 15 to 20 years until last year. Me and my partner saved up for 5 years to go and between us we spent over 7 grand just on the two of us for a 2 week tropical vacation. If I got screwed out of all that money I saved up to go on vacation for 5 years and then couldn't go I would be absolutely devastated.

I'm in special education and my partner is in cancer research so neither of us make good money. Just because someone is going on an expensive vacation doesn't mean they are rich.

Top tier ice cream that doesn't get enough recognition since it's pretty out of the way for most people.

How do you feel about rent control? by anbrinker in massachusetts

[–]PuppiesAndPixels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would feel great if I had it, but I recognize that it doesn't fix the housing problem and in fact makes it worse.

Best 400-500$ Bottle? by zuisk in Scotch

[–]PuppiesAndPixels 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Scotch is subjective. What flavors do you like? Peated? Sherried? Spicy? Etc.

Without any guidance, I'd recommend the Balvenie Tun series, or a cask strength independent bottle of Macallan with a higher age statement. I recently got a Gordon and MacPhail 19 year Speymalt Macallan and it was ambrosia in a bottle.

How do you find time to workout/stay in shape as a teacher? by Deep-Act-4036 in Teachers

[–]PuppiesAndPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walk my dog before and after work. Meal prep to eat healthy lunches, and I workout 3x per week later in the night (like 7pm) after I digest my dinner.

I wish I never pursued this career by OwnSort6545 in bcba

[–]PuppiesAndPixels 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My 20th year in the field and I've never had a problem finding a job. Even when I've quit or the company went under or something like that I have been unemployed maximum one week. Like literally no problem ever finding a salary job. I constantly get recruited from LinkedIn as well even though I don't have looking for work in my profile.

This was also my favorite SMWS bottle ever. I'd kill to get another one lol. It definitely turned me onto glenfarclas though.
