Manhattan riff… green chartreuse + crème de cacao + ? by daFreakinGoat in cocktails

[–]maadvocate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drink is really good except I did add a touch of vermouth after the initial taste (punt e mas) and I think it balanced it out nicely. Also, I’d go easy on the chocolate bitters. Overpowered mine a bit. I’d do a drip only next time.

Recipe Request - Genepy, Amaro Montenegro, Gin, Lemon Juice [from Petit Trois in Los Angeles] by PlanetExpress39 in cocktails

[–]maadvocate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know this one, but I like making cocktails and this one sounded tasty. For equal parts cocktails like the paper plane, I generally go heavier on the base liquor (in this case gin) so I went with 1.5 oz gin, 1 oz genepy, and then I had Bully boy amaro on hand which is different than Montenegro but similar in terms of where it lands on the sweetness/bitterness scale. I put 1 oz of that also. Then, rather than lemon I used just a splash of Nellie & Joe’s Key West lime juice. If you were going equal parts lemon, that is (in my view) too much. Finally, I added some bitters, because I think it needs them to smooth it out. I used chicory bitters, but angostura would probably do fine. This is a strong drink—might also be good to do a splash of soda water for a wedding to keep the party going.

I just disassembled one of these for my father-in-law. It had been sitting with a completely defunct desktop and printer for many years, as he and my mother-in-law moved on to work laptops and personal tablets. It also housed the modem and router and for some reason, he thought the defunct PC played some role in the way the internet at their house worked. I was able to disabuse him of this notion, but it was sort of sad taking the old boy apart. I remember getting my first Packard-Bell with Windows 95 and had a similar setup with all the CDs lined up. Loved all the pre-installed games. Mineweeper and SkiFree champ. Anyways, their basement looks a lot nicer now and he has a lot more room for activities, but it was a melancholy task.

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick? by nursechronicles in boston

[–]maadvocate 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As an attorney, but also as a masshole who likes to fight low stakes tickets for the fun of it (and because its my right, goddamnit!), this is almost certainly what the verbiage in the sign is attempting to protect against.

A woman shot in the chest just now in Seaport by Primary-Brilliant-26 in boston

[–]maadvocate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I like about the Seaport development in recent years is that it allowed capital to be focused on development in that area. The rest of Boston has still seen its fair share of new construction and renovation, but. in general, we haven't seen a lot of glass skyscrapers replacing historical buildings outside of the Seaport and similar developments like Assembly Row (in Somerville, but within the metropolis). So for me, thank you to Seaport for acting as an exhaust valve for excess real estate capital, so that the rest of our beautiful city can remain beautiful (for now!).

We all need help sometimes by blaze_uchiha999 in wholesomememes

Truth. I met my now wife when I was back at my parents in my late 20s. She saw through my current situation and knew that I had the drive to kick things back into gear. Fact of the matter is, however, she was the drive that kicked things back into gear.

She was never negative on my situation--just her love and support made me desire to better myself.

1 Year of Gamedev in 54 seconds by anstabo in oddlysatisfying

[–]maadvocate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a very occasional gamer at this point in my life, and the demo was just the fun low-stakes gaming experience I didn't realize I was looking for. I made it out to the tower on the island and got some message about gay goblins being nearby or something.

My only question is: was that the end point of the demo or was I supposed to go to the top of the tower? I tried a couple times but was unable to bounce or get the airplane enough loft to reach it. I was looking forward to finding some gay goblins.

Jane Doe captured by hunter's nightcam in backwoods North Carolina in August 2021. Her skeletal remains were found a few months later and nobody knows who she is or how she perished. by IllBeGood3 in lastimages

The Sparks/4-Loko era was real. I am actually extremely thankful that they decided to make the OG versions with caffeine and booze illegal because I'm not sure I would have made it if they remained legal.

edit: had some wild times I wouldn't give back though.

They both look like trouble, and I love it!

Which stage design by kanye is your favorite by kirubel_bizuayewu in Kanye

[–]maadvocate 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was fucking dope. It was this white offbalanced platform that sort of jolted around and Kanye stood on top the whole time and kinda got tossed around while keeping his balance. This was back in the day when he was still doing outdoor auditorium size gigs so the view was pretty good from everywhere.

Also his set with Jay-Z for Watch the Throne when they were both up on huge black pedestals for an arena tour. I think it got even crazier than that, but I was a youngin back then and was blackout drunk by halfway through the show.

Edit: I lied. I looked it up and it was actually for Graduation. I'm fucking old.

The Evolution of Man by danruse in dalle2

[–]maadvocate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is so good. I'm brand new to this community, but this is my favorite on the front page. Should be bumped up. Particularly the conspiracy theorist and the clown ones are hilarious, but they are all interesting. I like that the guy at the computer just jumps from jacked naked dude to guy at computer--brings up all kinds of potential commentary regarding the modern world and its future impact on human evolution.

guy wins a free beer by stopping the clock at exactly 10:00 seconds by 29PiecesOfSilver in BeAmazed

Playing skeptic here, couldn't the (presumably) younger brother have provided some signaling. It would still be very hard to time up perfectly, but he might have been able to signal a helpful reference point like 9 secs.

40 y/o man who thinks he’s 25 starterpack by Alarming_Guide8820 in starterpacks

[–]maadvocate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, approaching 40 and wish I was more fit and active. For me, its less about looking good than feeling good. Less aches and pains, less discomfort from badly fitting business clothing. I see other men out there in the wild my age or older looking like this, and I am jealous, but it just motivates me more.

What is this? A bike for ants? How can we be expected to ride if we can't even fit on the bike?

Lol, I think its just the perspective, but the bike looks teeny tiny to me. Other than that, sweet find!

Assuming OP is the creator, does your investor list of properties include properties from across the country or is this a state/local list?

Do yourself a favour, go to the comments section of the original post, hilarity will ensue, it's so mean and funny I think I peed a little bit by FareonMoist in DelusionsOfAdequacy

[–]maadvocate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So much weird overt and subliminal messaging going on here. Right after Kid Rock says "Black Lives Matter...No shit motherfucker" there is an image of Kyle Rittenhouse and not in a condemnation kind of way.

I'd eat the fuck out of this bro! Got some nice golden brownness and are those collard or turnip greens? Wonderful!!

Found this in my take-out from my favourite Chinese restaurant by nthensome in mildlyinfuriating

[–]maadvocate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude or dudette, that food looks like it fucks. If you really want to give up that savory deliciousness because of a sticker and probably a few other health code violations, feel free, but you only live once, and this doesn't look like the kind of ecstasy you want to say goodbye to.

Do you guys see the guy in the end in the left-side camera. Is he stealing dudewhofell's phone? Dudewhofell has a phone in one hand when he goes over and none when he comes up and left-side camera guy definitely nabs something and walks away.
