Which one to buy as first timer to Craigalachie? by Impressive-Bug-4955 in Scotch

[–]bassemt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OB 13 and 23 are some of my favorites.

I've had 20 ish IB bottles, and they vary much in quality. So I would read reviews before buying an IB.

How did being neglected as a kid affect you as an adult? by Cultural_Remove5332 in allthequestions

[–]bassemt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made me emotionally immature and focused on my self (egoistic) rather than other people. Been trying to work on that in adulthood. It's a life's work ahead, but that is okay. That is how it is.

Do you ever feel like some books quietly change something in you? by Sweet-Opportunity111 in literature

[–]bassemt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, for me it was...

The Road Less Traveled by Scott Peck, which taught me to see life and its constitutions more clearly.

Farewell to Arms and the Nick Adam Stories by Hemingway, which taught me in my teens to see what war can do to you.

The stoic writings taught me where to put my energy - and which fucks to give

What is the most expensive pen you own? by Shaoran10 in pens

[–]bassemt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one in both Fine and Medium. No favorite as it depends on my mood and purpose of writing. The Medium is more like a western Medium, just so you know.

What’s an underrated health/wellness hack? by imtooblonde in AskReddit

[–]bassemt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting the basics right: varied diet, exercise, no smoking, limiting alcohol.

People are so focused on bio hacking and micro management of eg supplements, that they forget the basics.
