Politics And Current Events

If you haven't been here, you probably have the best take. Ha. Doubtful. I have all the obvious takes and just feel like the only way to work out how I feel about the most recent world events is conversation. Trump being a grave existential threat seems beyond obvious. COVID being worse than Fox an...

I'm 42 pages behind. We solve anything in there or can I just skip ahead? I'm 1,562 pages behind. What's the LGP take on the world? Everything sucks. As close to being true as this has ever been, that's for sure (in my lifetime anyway). I've given up on trying to find reliable information and figur...

Since I feel like I can relate to some of shmenguin's comments, I'll chime in. For me, I guess it's about the quest for equanimity. And I think that starts with finding a reliable, scaleable something to guide how you live. Call it a personal philosophy, worldview, ethic, style. I'm not sure there'...

I think this process actually physically rewires your brain. Eventually you have to “try” to feel like you used to. Yes. Establish new synaptic pathways and allow the old ones to atrophy. LSD could be exceptionally effective in this regard - not recommending, just saying. Just listened to a Tim Fer...

Thought Nugget Nectar was solid this year. Found Hopslam to be much better than the past couple years. It's funny how much palates can shift. I feel like initially when I started drinking lots of NEIPAs, I was a little down on Heady. Once I started getting sick of NEs, beers like Heady and Head Hunt...

So as some may have noticed, I took a bit of a breather. I devoted a lot of the last year to deep introspection. Cut out some of the noise to explore what I wanted out of life and try to find peace. I discovered determinism in 2011 while struggling to fall asleep one night. I didn’t know it was a t...

Trying my first offering from Maine Beer Company, their pale ale. This is fantastic, even for an overly saturated style. 5.5% but a really nice, full but smooth flavor. Pleasant surprise. MBC kills classic IPAs. Lunch, especially fresh, is a fantastic beer. Had Woods and Waters recently and was pre...

I am currently looking to buy a new pair of daily browns myself. Over the past 10 years I have had an AE pair for 6 years and the Mags currently on my feet for 4. I saw a pair of To Boot NY at Nordstrom Rack recently and was curious about them. I remember trying a pair on when I got my original AEs ...

Just had a goddamn tragedy occur. Was all ready to try this Fantome... Pop the cork and the **** basically explodes in my face and sprays nearly to the ceiling, sending most of the precious beer onto the counter and floor. I was able to salvage a few ounces, but it was impossible not to get yeast. ...

Has to be one of the most underrated shelfie beers out there. I keep planning to buy and hold a bunch and then I can’t help but drink through it. Really hoping there’s some in barrels somewhere.
