So, just in case it wasn't crystal clear enough what this is, one of the prisoners in the article asked if he could be sent back to Venezuela, and they refused.

My brother doesn't like work from home either, and I just don't get it. Working from home has been great for my mental health.

I'm not stressed all the time; I don't have to worry about things unrelated to my job, like traffic, or what I'll do for lunch. I don't have to sit in the cheapest desk chair money can buy, and use a tiny Dell monitor, instead I relax at home, at my desk I already have anyway.

But I've never really seen work as a place to socialize to begin with. It's the one place where I can't control who is around me, and as a result, there are often people I dislike. I much prefer they remain icons, instead of whole people I have to make small talk with. Then, if there are coworkers I like, I can reach out to them individually

Not like those poors, who can't be trusted not to blow all of their limited funds on junk food. (<-- There it is. There's the shitting on the poor part.)

This dramatically undervalues the predatory practices of snack food companies, and redirects the blame. This is a problem solved by regulation, but the people that most need to be protected by those regulations are the poor, who are targeted for exploitation by the companies producing cheap, processed "foods."

RFK is a dangerous idiot, and his handful of seemingly okay policy ideas only exist to distract from the harm that the administration, he is part of, is doing. This is one of those policies. It will never be anything more than a headline in any meaningful way.

I would definitely agree with the advocates for affordable housing saying that there should be some guarantees, but the bill's sponsor has already said he's considering that going forward. Otherwise, denser mixed housing around public transit sounds great. Bad look for party leadership

They'll just end up on sketchier sites that ignore the rule, or learn to use a VPN. Prohibition doesn't work

You're crazy if you didn't feel the tension between Archer and Shran

At this rate, she'll be a one term senator. I wonder if she's being set up to take the brunt of the anger people have for the democratic establishment. It definitely feels like there's pressure on Michigan from the national party. Whitmer has been talking about working with Trump, which seemed very out of character to me. Some of his goons tried to kidnap her only a few years ago

Surely the leopards will spare my face

I think "margins" might imply percentage, but I Am Not A Businessman. I would be interested to see a full cost breakdown. I bet they're saving on shipping! Lol

They almost doubled the price, but it cost them 3x more to make

If there's someone out there that hasn't heard about this case, I don't think they should be allowed on the jury either. They're obviously incapable of paying attention to anything

More dangerous stupidity from Fetterman

A Classic Sidecar (midwest.social)

Mostly wanted to post because I feel like I did a really good job on the sugared rim lol

This is one of my favorite cocktails

1.5oz brandy .75oz orange liqueur .75oz lemon juice

Shake, double strain, serve in a glass with a sugared rim, and garnish with a orange twist. I expressed mine.

 

Maybe a little too meta, but I think we could use Dukat for memes specifically meant to express funny, but bad, opinions

 

It's been a while, but I got some new glassware, and wanted to try it out. I felt like a Nuclear Daquiri was appropriate for leaded crystal. I tweaked the recipe a bit to my own tastes, I'll denote that below

  • 1oz Overproof White Rum - Wray and Nephew
  • .5oz White Rum - Plantation 3 Star (omit for basic recipe)
  • .66oz Galliano (Green Chartreuse for basic recipe)
  • .75oz Lime Juice
  • .33oz Falernum

Shake and double strain, garnish however you like

Sidewinder's Fang (midwest.social)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Infynis@midwest.social to c/cocktails@midwest.social
 

I've got a garnish this time!

  • 1.5oz Blended black rum - Plantation OFTD
  • 1.5oz Aged rum - Plantation 5 Year
  • 1.5oz Orange juice
  • 1.5oz Lime juice
  • 1.5oz Passionfruit syrup
  • 3oz Club soda to top

Shake with ice and strain into a glass with more ice. Top with club soda. Garnish with a mint sprig and a sidewinder

 

I always like to do a cocktail for releases of things I'm excited for. This is based on Greg from How to Drink's recipe, but with a few tweaks

  • 1.5oz Wray and Nephew
  • 1.5oz Plantation 5 Year
  • .75oz Blue curacao
  • .75oz Mint syrup
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Club soda to top

Shake and strain, serve over crushed ice. Top with club soda, and more crushed ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.

I used the Wray and Nephew and the mint, because Romulan Ale is supposed to smell extremely strongly, and those ingredients definitely do. It's kind of like a funky Mojito. I like it a lot

Seems like posting might be possible now, so here's my drink from last night! I wanted something refreshing, but still complex.

  • 1oz Aged rum - Plantation 5 Year
  • .5oz Jamaican rum - Wray and Nephew
  • .5oz Dark rum - Plantation OFTD
  • .5oz Lime juice
  • .3oz Rich simple syrup
  • .5 barspoons Falernum
  • .5 barspoons Grenadine
  • 2 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters

Blend with ice, serve in a Collins glass, and top with more ice. Garnish with two maraschino cherries, and a mint sprig (which I ran out of)
