It's definitely true sometimes. The tortured revolutionary that took it too far is a very common trope. A lot of the time, it's just very wishy-washy, as you'd expect from a mass produced cash machine like Marvel. When you're making so many stories, they're not all going to be winners, for any number of reasons. The people that think Marvel is making propaganda are just looking for it. The movies just aren't that good, they're not hiding some sinister motive

I think he lost all points when he started actively trying to make the pandemic worse

Yeah, each one of them individually would be totally fine with it if they were being made King Fascist, but they can't allow anyone else to take the spot

The UT can also tell somehow when the speaker doesn't want their words translated. Anytime Worf says something in Klingon, or any Vulcans talk about their culture, they're able to say their words as they normally would.

It must have some kind of ability to translate meaning, not just words. That's probably why in Lower Decks it's able to translate some Tamarian now. Once they started working with the Federation, we were able to teach the UT some context for their metaphors.

The real question is, when Quark uses a human idiom, is he actually saying that, or is it a translation of a similar Ferengi phrase?

Maybe that's why we didn't have the Bell Riots. We're in the porn universe

"constantly miss small details and need to quintuple check everything do."

This one is the opposite for me. I'm great at detail work. The stuff I miss is the glaringly obvious giant thing right in front of me.

I went to a wedding this weekend, and bought four drinks from the bar before I noticed half of the bartop was covered in two liter pop bottles I could have been pouring drinks from for free the whole time...

 

A lot of memes I across the Internet are about how everyone, no matter how old, is just a kid inside, trying to figure out what's going on, which is something I definitely identify with.

But every once in a while, something happens that does actually make me feel like a grown-up. It's usually small, and kind of silly, but it's fun, and I thought people might want to share theirs.

For me, most recently, it was realizing I like Greek yogurt now. It was trendy when I was like 12, and I couldn't stand it then, but I bought some on a whim, and now I keep the fridge stocked. That drastic change in my tastes took me aback momentarily, but I thought it was a nice fun little milestone.

How about you?

This is a personal creation, so I apologize if the name is already taken.

*1.5oz gin *1oz Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro *.75oz honey syrup *.5oz lemon juice

Shaken and served with an expressed lemon peel, and a dash of Hummingbird Bitters

 
 
 

More Expanse crossovers? Yes please!

 

Unfortunately, you can't get real Orion Dulac in Michigan, so this is my take on what Mariner would have served Those Old Scientists

  • 1.5oz White rum (I used Plantation 3 Star)
  • .75oz Cinnamon syrup
  • .75oz Lime juice
  • .5oz Absinthe (I used what they make at my local distillery, American Fifth)
  • .5oz John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum Liqueur
  • 1 barspoon Blue curaçao (for colour)

Shake, and double strain. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, and slowly pour in two barspoon of grenadine so that it sinks to the bottom. This could also be swapped for butterfly pea flower syrup, which is purple. I just wanted the grenadine flavor

First cocktail made in my new bar! Just moved, and finally have it set up. Lots of decorating left for the new space though.

This is a basic twist on a Daquiri.

  • 3oz Angostura 5 Year Caribbean Rum
  • 1.5oz lime juice
  • .66oz rich symple syrup (.75oz if you use 1:1)
  • 3-4 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters

Shake, double strain, and garnish with a lime wedge.

The ultimate brunch cocktail.

Equal parts gin, orange liqueur, Lillet Blanc, and lemon juice, shaken and served in an absinthe rinsed coupe.

I think this drink alone is enough reason to keep Lillet on hand. American Fifth is my local distillery; I highly recommend their spirits if you get the chance, but any absinthe will do here.

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.

 

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
