From seeing all my alcohol-drinking friends experiencing it, gin is apparently disgusting and shouldn't be drunk.
That said, I've never had the stuff, nor will I ever, so I can't comment from personal experience.
Gin is the most delicious thing in the world.
Now. I know why most people don't like Gin and that's cause they want to try a Martini and it's made wrong. If most Gin haters hate Gin and have only had a Martini then maybe they should check and make sure they didn't have a "vodka" Martini and it's just the flavor of vermouth they dislike. Vodka martini's tend to be what one gets when they order a martini now days.
Anyway.
A real Martini that is made well is heaven. HEAVEN.
True freedom is freedom from thinking about all that complex shit the lieburals want you to think about. Let us true patriots take all those worries about what to choose off your hands.

YES! Ha mother fuckers. Don't bring that weak ass shit against me. Some thieves attempted to take advantage of a power outage to hit a school that has a system I designed. Mother fuckers didn't think I'd have redundant power supplies in my design? Fuck you. Enjoy prison bitches. HA!
God damn do I hate people who need you to walk them through things that are simple fucking things. I mean jesus have a little bit of intellectual curiosity.

Although gin is revolting on its own, gin-gin mules are really good. i had one that wasn't quite orthodox at The Whistler in Chicago: broker's gin, ginger liqueur, ginger beer, lime, mint, bitters.

Gin fear is the same as spicy fear.
"oh noes this item has actual flavor! fetch me a mashed potato sandwich on white bread and some vodka!"
Good flavor /= flavorless. If it tastes like shit then it tastes like shit.
Except it doesn't. You can find people who hate the taste of beer, the taste of whiskey, the taste of any manner of spices, and who hate the taste of gin. Gin tastes fine.

Gin tastes fine to you. For all I know I might like it, we'll never know. For people who don't like it, they don't like it, and saying they have no taste seems inappropriately snarky.
I think the reason Cara and Paul still have many open gaps in their story is that there is so much that I have written I get confused. Maybe I need to get a big sheet of paper and draw a rough outline to make stuff clearer.

Some days my job is rewarding. And someday I get to have a grin on my face that scares other people. I really like those days.

all we ever talk about nowadays is lentils, i'm losing track of you
no it is saturday
i am actually feeling pretty good about it, but I am also nervous because it is currently the only dark spot on an otherwise stellar grad school application
Gin is refreshing when mixed with other things. Even soda, just to water it down. Drunk straight though it feels like I'm drinking a liquified plant.
Also desc I'm pretty sure you don't understand the original, Russian point of vodka (to get drunk very fast, particularly via shots w/pickles)
I totally thought the whole "russians and vodka" thing was some kind of terrible stereotype until the first time I hung out with three russians and vodka came out. oh goodness.
Anyway, pounding shots is not something I foresee myself doing again ever and vodka is the generic example people give of a "good alcohol" in response to gin, so it gets to be the foil in my pro-gin arguments.
some flavors are, for me, very tenuous. like, i can catch a note of a flavor in some dishes and love it- i'll feel like that slight note unifies everything, tastes fresh and pleasant, etc. but a tiny bit more, even only a quarter again as much, can make the dish totally inedible to me.
like coconut chicken. i fucking hate coconut, but a very light coconut chicken is great. a little bit more of it, though, and even the thought makes me want to vomit.

Then spicy food isn't a necessary taste as was described earlier.

Yours sounds like a fun job.
It has it's moments.
You should ask to be at their arraignment so you can break it down end-zone style.
Vodka kinda sucks because you quickly hit a ceiling when it comes to $ - quality. Eventually it's like bottled water and you're paying for brand name.
It's always hilarious when someone pretend to be a serious connoisseur of alcoholic beverages joins your group and then orders nothing but vodka based drinks.

Gin is the best alcohol and should be thoroughly enjoyed with club soda and two wedges of lime. Fuck tonic. Tonic is for pussies and weirdos

Arch. Did you really have to guess? I mean, there's just nothing good about that guy at all.
club soda? too sweet.
Fancy tonic all the way. In a G & T, it's nice and bitter. Just like life is bitter!

You should try fernet.
I had a bartender once describe its flavor as "Santa Claus's balls."

Oh passer, I've gotten to you too late. Your innocent mind has been warped by this twisted anti-gin ideology to which you've been exposed.

I think I could eat it if I split it with someone else and had a salad to go with it.

Though I definitely will give you tonic being more bitter, I think club soda can hardly be classified as "sweet".
Where's Arch? We will hate olives and drink gin together and none of you can join us. Unless you also hate olives and love gin. Then you can join us.
Also those who are attempting to colonize Africa.
Hilarious.
