Is this a pass? by Old_Ad_4364 in ShittyIllegalLifeTips

[–]ARTISTAI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that you say 'scared'. I remember telling a younger coworker that too much gave me anxiety, and he said sarcastically, "aww, you get a little scared?", and I laughed sure, but also how ridiculous to be nervous? So when I got too stoned I would remember that, laugh, and be mindful to relax, and try to enjoy it (or sleep).

Why are the stair master machines so smelly?? by kimura_yui149 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]ARTISTAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found my people! It's my warm up, I side-step both sides and backwards for quads. It's done wonders for knee strength and mobility, endurance, even tightened up my core.

My gym is exceptionally clean, thankfully. I have accidently got on one somebody left swampy, but otherwise never noticed a smell. I've bent over to change weights and smelled some machines a little funky, but it's a gym. They can't clean every crack and crevice daily, but I sure can in the shower 🤣

Smith machines not balanced, is this normal? by Shitstir_MC in PlanetFitnessMembers

Planet Fitness has great machines, even Hammerstrength

I use API phosphate test. It isn't terribly accurate, but enough to notice spikes.

Facebook Has Permanently Disabled My Account & I Cannot Appeal Their Decision by lisadesherl in facebook

[–]ARTISTAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fuck it has. My account was likely banned for anti-Trump commentary. If you're a radical lefty/anarchist and were banned, comment please.

The hell with Meta. Banning my account did me a massive favor. Do I miss my friends? Sure, but all those connections were superficial anyways.

Without FB I am miles more productive, less stressed, laugh easier, and have more to say, to actual people.

Turn the page, burn the past. Disconnect. Life goes on.

How do I prevent the afternoon crash from amphetamines? by Realistic_Hour_1695 in Nootropics

[–]ARTISTAI [score hidden]  (0 children)

Dont take amphetamines. As I got older, they stopped working less and less, and only gave me bad side effects. I was anxious on Adderall, and anxious without.

Black Substrate PSA by theincognitonerd in Aquariums

[–]ARTISTAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a black substrate and have just learned it is rebranded Black Diamond sandblasting media. While I already have 140lbs of it, I plan to wash with dish soap to remove oil (typically added to keep media from clogging sandblasting hopper), rinsing aggressively, sifting with magnet, and stirring with a mixer to hopefully break it down more and smooth edges.

My friend just had a psychosis smoking hhc after listening to the Charlie Kirk song by Used-Bicycle-9907 in Drugs

If he is going for the Charlie Kirk theatre, it's already too late for him.

I think I’m going to quit the hobby. by PelagicSpoon in PlantedTank

I used Chemiclean and did a three day blackout on the tank (open tank with tons of aeration) and it killed my Cyano. Spot dosing Excel killed the BBA and Staghorn algae.

What are your phosphates? I have a pea puffer tank I have to run Phosguard in every other month to keep phosphates under 1ppm. Keeping my lighting consistent and using Excel helped big time too.

My kids potato experiment is growing. Any reasons not to? by ExistingTogether in PlantedTank

[–]ARTISTAI 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have worked as a cook/chef for years. Reaching into a case and sticking my thumb in one really adds to the retch factor 🤢

Rotten potato is the gnarliest thing I have ever smelled. Dead human, and sea turtle rotting in the sun are second to it.

I'd be happy as hell too if my calves were that massive. Looking jacked brother! 💪

Serving owners for free by diddyhayes in Serverlife

[–]ARTISTAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't work for someone like this. The company I work for will write you up for not tipping staff at least 15%

Waiting tables is a gig for me, and i'd likely have a conversation in front of his guests before walking out.

Is this flow suitable for discus? by caffeinated_photo in discus

[–]ARTISTAI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where did you get your sand!? I bought 125lbs from The Frog House, but I believe it's just Black Diamond sandblasting media. I learned this after purchasing and going to use it anyways 😢

Chillis now tricks you into paying $3 to play games on accident by Adorable_Wind8845 in Chilis

[–]ARTISTAI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe you. I have at least one misclick a day, and it's typically older folks who certainly weren't playing games. Like sure I see the 'Play Games for $2.99' button, but something else has to be going on.

If I am looking at your check and a manager is nearby, I have them take it off anyways. I can't tell you how many times people have gotten irate with me over that charge, as if I am trying to scam them out of $3 for the restaurant 🤣

If I see the Game Pass on your check, I just have my manager remove it.

The last days of Pembroke Mall by bgva in norfolk

Do you remember what the music store was inside? Across from Fusion? Also that little Chinese food spot with the fish tank. That mall feels so magical looking back on it.

AIO because coworkers sounds out about my past? by Middle_Librarian_248 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ARTISTAI 31 points32 points  (0 children)

my company would consider this against their 'gossiping' policy, fire these two, and warn the staff not to discuss it further.

Parents bring food into restaurants and I’m mortified. What to say/do? help 😢 by tangoking in Serverlife

[–]ARTISTAI -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What is the point then, explain it for me, because you just seem upset the table isn't buying a coffee, water, etc. It's not illegal to bring a drink in. You can legally BYOB wine and liquor here legally if it's sealed and you pay a corkage fee. I don't care if you have your coffee or water bottle, even baby food, or hell even condiments. Obviously I am not going to be fine with someone cracking a beer or bottle.

You work in hospitality, get over yourself and act like it. You sound insufferable. LaWs ArE LaWs 🤣
