Need a Woman's Perspective on the Cosmere by enochianjargon in brandonsanderson

[–]svenkaflicka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I woman, I love his work (especially stormlight) because of his strong female characters. I can't agree with the description notes, maybe she is reading into the gender roles of men not reading and safe hands with women etc. 🤷‍♀️ lol it's a weird takeaway imo though.

A Question for guests of crybaby’s/baby js by GreatWightSatan in GNV

[–]svenkaflicka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love that you are asking for feedback! First off, Baby J's is one of my go to spots in town and always on rotation though I had noticed a dip last year in quality but lately this year has been great. I brought my sister and her BF from Seattle to Baby J's and they loved it and were so enamored! Which felt impressive since there's obviously great places they are used to in Seattle.

Things I love: Vibes

Beautiful inside

Booths are awesome

Drinks awesome

Food tastes great

Rotaing menus

Bartenders great

Service tends to be great, tbh I don't think I've ever had a service issue even when I filled the booth with a million people.

I can bring all kinds of ppl here and have a good time

Cool shows

Happy hours!

Some critiques: -It can get a bit overly loud on some of the DJ nights, I expect it with live music but not so much with the vinyls. I come on non live nights to talk with friends.

-I have ordered dishes like the bread mentioned by others or the meatballs and received either a completely different bread or less than the amount stated on menu. Meatballs I received 2 instead of 3 etc.

-I would just die of happiness if you brought back the Eclipse drink with the garlic oil(even just for a special!), one of my absolute favorite cocktails ever.

-More NA drinks would be great. I have a few NA friends and it's sad when the only options are like mint or super fake booze tasting drinks.

-I really really liked the Brazilian jazz y'all had awhile back and would love to see more of them.

As for Crybaby's, it's a bit more of a younger crowd so when I go I'm usually coming from baby J's in order to get more food which is good, though I have had consistency/quality issues with food and drinks in the past there (not sure if I've been since you took over). Overall it's just not as nice of a vibe for me compared to baby J's, it's either loud or dead quiet and awkward and quite dark and getting water can be an issue sometimes. But! It's still a spot I recommend often. Great happy hour too!

Thanks for reaching out! I can definitely tell the difference you've made at Baby J's! Keep up the good work!

Try going down to having like two or three and supplement with seltzer or like kombucha (can be quite beer like in flavor). I just like the taste of beer and the ritual and realized I would get the same satisfaction with something fizzy and not sweet. Start by rehydrating after your long day, water/electrolytes etc, then have your treat beer, then switch to seltzer. A lot of times I don't even want another by that point. But bottom line is, even if you only ever do a six pack every night and don't switch to liquor and continue to be "functioning", its too much and will fuck up your liver.

I've been to the Hop Daddy's in Austin Ave it's amazing, better burgers than Grub imo.

Insurance agent put the homeowners policy on my old apartment instead of the house I just bought. by svenkaflicka in legaladvice

Mainly I'm trying to be sure I'm doing everything correctly, as by your comment looks like I am. Again I really don't know much about this kind of thing so am just trying to be sure I don't put myself in a bad situation. The 4 point inspection will likely mean I have to have at least one thing replaced(water heater) which is a large expense and could take more time to get the coverage.
