    Done.
    Even before I quit soda forever 15 years ago, I was a Pepsi person.

    I'll admit, Pepsi make me feel better about buying their "better than Diet" cola by calling it Pepsi Max, whereas Coke call theirs Coke Zero.

    I mean, I'm sticking rum or vodka in it anyway, so it doesn't really matter, but I like the optimism.

    Because sometimes vodka's all you have in and it tastes fucking awful on its own.

    And don't try that "freeze it" bollocks. I have access to liquid nitrogen, and I'd rather drink THAT than neat vodka, even chilled WITH liquid nitrogen.

    Other mixers need me to be far more organised.

    I went out of my way today to get some Vermouth in for martinis, but it's still barely tolerable. I defaulted to whiskey.

    Sausages, I guess?

    Few eggs.

    Mango chutney.

    I'm not seeing how these can improve vodka.

    Now, if you mean the refrigerant gasses, they might, in the "you'll be too dead to care" sense.

    I'm not a one issue voter. Are you telling me that you agree with everything that your party might end up doing? :chris:

    not at all alienating and broad-brushing! That's the kind of thinking that makes it easier to rationalizing imposing your own brand of authoritarianism. :cool:

    do we have time to go down this shitstorm of a rabbit hole? Maybe you do, but I don't. Also how stupid do you think I am? I'd get dogpiled in a microsecond. :lol: Hard pass on that.

    I'm not a one issue voter either, but how is openly attempting voter suppression not a big enough issue to give you pause? How is that not a dealbreaker? :shrug:

    It won’t take long. And, if you’re afraid of getting dog piled, it’s likely you’re afraid to be proven wrong.

    See, I’ll start. I vote Democrat because I believe women have the right to make decisions about their own bodies.

    I believe we humans have a moral obligation to take care of other humans who are not as fortunate.

    I believe we need to keep the planet clean and not intentionally destroy it in the name of profit.

    I believe science should take precedence over religion.

    So you're basically going to ignore the problem in favor of denouncing the people complaining about the problem.

    Whatever helps you sleep through the night, I suppose. I'm certain absolutely none of this will prevent you voting a straight Republican ticket for the rest of your life.

    See, the funny thing about OF is that he'll spend a lot of time bitching about what Democrats MIGHT do to limit freedoms, and very little (i.e. zero) time bitching about what Republicans ACTUALLY do to limit freedoms. In other words, your basic low-information, vote-with-my-feelings conservative.

    Oops. Sorry to dogpile you, buddy.

    Moxie is the Devil's beverage. I grew up 45 minutes from where it was inflicted upon the world, to my everlasting shame.

    Moxie is.. uh... a beverage... eh... it’s an experience...

    You either grudgingly accept the flavor and swallow and then inexplicably take another sip or you immediately gag, spit it out and curse the person who suggested it to you.

    There is no in between.

    Woah!

    MLB Players Union is discussing not playing in Georgia (RIP Braves) in response to new black disenfranchisement law.




    If so expect other players unions to follow suit.
