Its like anything. I have had some real dicks. Others keep to themselves. Can't say I have had pleasant interactions but can't say that much about the non homeless on the train either. By and large we are all keeping to ourselves and getting to our destinations. The thing with the elctric is the cost. The manual costs for a year what a transit does for a month and no extra cost after that. I mean you have to do the dock undock thing if you need more time but thats no big deal.
I probably have a lot more interactions with houseless people due to my demographic (queer, genderqueer, poc, smoker) so i often get stopped by someonr asking for a cigarette or mutual aid.
thats funny. im a non smoker and nearly a non drinker long hair type. So often I would asked for cig and when I said I don't smoke I would get looks like I did smoke but just did not want to give them one. Its like dude I know what I look like but you know my lung collapsed one time. I always said I have a natural resistance to stuff because I can't handle inhaling things, Im a needlephobe, I don't like eating or drinking anything that is not innately tasty, etc, etc. Even when I was younger and would go to clubs the drink I could handle I would get sick of drinking them while only maybe getting buzzed. Oddly I actually would get zima's back in the day as while I did not like them I did not just hate them. they were tolerable to me.
If you like coffee espresso martinis are dangerously delicioud. the one's at Mother Hubbard's are quite good despite being boxed espresso
nope. coffee much like beer is not tasty from the get go. I really don't like anything I have to build a taste for. I have had some people claim they like this stuff from the fits sip but I have extreme doubts on it unless they already got used to the flavors from some other part of the diet. Im one of those people who are adverse to cilantro and horseradish and wasabi so maybe its me with the wierd gene or something. Its kinda funny to because at one point I thought I hated avocado but what it was is I only ever had it in quac which almost always had cilantro. Once I actually had just avocado in something im like. OMD! this is the best!
well then say away from soju because the right brands are basically alcoholic juice. same with the barefoot red moscato.
besides wine cooler and mixed drinks I use desert wines and sweeter bubbling ones. I actually posted to the mix drink community to see if anyone knew how to make this variation on a long island ice tea that I used to drink to get hammered. Literally made it taste like lemonade. My sister was looking into going into bartending and taking classes and found it for me but apparently their are a bunch of variations and if not made just right it loses the nice taste. So I only was ever able to get it from her or some friends of hers at certain places. I even asked her about it in modern times but that was such another life for her she cannot recall how to do today.
