Here it is. He says "Cindy and I are breaking up" - then proceeds with the review of Laphroaig 10 Year Single Malt Scotch, which he tells us has been his go-to single malt - it's a "no compromise" Malt, he assures us.

Looks like they are back together or something. Lots of videos of them both recently including one released 22 hours ago of them going out to eat together.

A few months ago he had a video where he was vacationing with Cindy too.

In the description there is follow up video as well:

It’s like 10m long and haven’t been bothered to watch all of it. I guess they just mended their relationship after so many years. I guess at a certain point in life you just say fuck it and go back to what you know.

I guess at a certain point in life you just say fuck it and go back to what you know.

Or you've been abused for so long as well as isolated from all your friends and family, that you're easily manipulated back in to a situation you('ve been made to) feel you can never escape.

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 59 points 1 year ago

You got all that from a scotch review? Damn

Peaty and isolating, with just a touch of domestic violence.

4.5 stars.

First of all, let me introduce you to this little word:

or

it means one could be, or another could be. It is not an assertion.

Now to the point:

Imagine that, a guy who centres his entire life around booze to a degree that he prioritises recording a booze review for an audience of zero over interacting with his partner that is walking out on their relationship, is setting of some red flags.

Also imagine that - people who have suffered domestic abuse can recognise those red flags from miles away while those who haven't sit there and smugly brush them off. I bet plenty of the people here also say shit like "if it was that bad she would have left" which is why I made my comment explaining why victims of abuse either don't leave or leave and then go back.

But hey, it's all jokes to those of you who think this shit will never impact you personally.

Wow, you are significantly insufferable.

Or two people mended their relationship. Nobody is perfect. For all we know that review could have been after his tipping point. People do weird shit when they feel they can't take anymore. Like reviewing whiskey while your wife is leaving.

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lol ok. Or you're just annoying as hell dude

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

There is definitely a degree of complacency with the familiar. That said, the guy reviews booze. Booze and relationships can be trouble lol. People say and do dumb shit no matter how “sober” they think they are.

It’s not a stunt. Some people just make better friends than partners. If there was no animosity during the break up, there’s no reason they can’t remain friends.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Not saying this is the case here because I don't know, but on the other hand of that abusers are really good at manipulating their way back in to relationships, so unfortunately that's also an option.

[-] WilloftheWest@feddit.uk 20 points 1 year ago

I don't think it's particularly helpful or even healthy to speculate about abuse in every conceivable scenario. The guy's a whisky aficionado who goes on frequent trips to distilleries and has uploaded and average of a whisky related video every other day for several years. You can see by the thumbnails a story of him growing a wall of whisky over the years. That factor alone is difficult to live with if you're not on the same wavelength as that person. It's not, however, an issue that would require you to burn bridges after separation.

Maybe she was packing for a vacation?

[-] PrivateUguu@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I needed to hear that, thanks!

[-] WetBeardHairs@lemmy.world 77 points 1 year ago

That video has a rich, complex undertone of depression. Mmmm that depression is smooth. You know, I find this video to be a real go-to for when I want that bouquet of isolation and denial. I just keep coming back to watch it again and again.

[-] BitOneZero@lemmy.world 46 points 1 year ago

I can't find it, but a dozen plus years ago I was reading an interview with Phillip K Dick, who was married 5 times, and during the interview one of his- wives was packing things - and he commented to the interviewer to just let them take what they wanted as he has already experienced this multiple times.

[-] kitonthenet@kbin.social 43 points 1 year ago

Tbf the laphroaig 10 year is a really good bottle

[-] TheFonz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Laphroaig 10 is currently my favorite. Burnt electric wire that fires up every sense. Love it.

God, who can tell anymore? It could be true, or he could just be doing it to get views. The internet is a shithole.

[-] Guster@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Video is 8 years old, I think it's a true story at least based on what I read. Also the fact that his own video doesn't mention this in the thumbnail/title makes me think it's real.

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Why is it sad?

Relationships end all the time. This guy is handling it better than most.

[-] relative_iterator@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 year ago

We’re not robots sir. Things can just be sad for human reasons.

Should it be happy? Should there be no emotions? It's okay to be sad. It's a normal average emotion.

I think It's the companies/ads who promote always happy / always smile sick unnatural environment.

Old but gold

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
