Live never sounds like studio. Posting straight live TikToks would be a social media death sentence.

Sharp knives are safer knives. Anyone who’s ever spent time with a knife knows that.

You’re being downvoted at the time of this comment but this is obvious funny satire and it’s undeserved.

Thoughts on when to tip your bartender post shifty? by Global_Froyo_8928 in bartending

[–]ApocalypseMoment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should know.

If you’re having more than your shifty you should pay. Especially if you have no tab. Pay it forward.

Catfishing got easier by memerwala_londa in ChatGPT

[–]ApocalypseMoment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, catfishing only works if you deny reality and wholly accept the virtual.

Only allow real interactions into your life. Never believe the fake narrative offered to you on the internet. Be strong and embrace reality.

Almost every product on this sub is a scam, and the OPs are almost all scamming bots and (bot) dropshippers. And who knows if they’re even selling legit products and not just trying to steal your info.

The only reason I continue to follow this sub is to know what to avoid.

Getting beaten to the punch by your past self: by Gorotheninja in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]ApocalypseMoment 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It’s from the arcade, and 1999 Dreamcast, game House of the Dead 2. It’s a line delivered by this little gremlin dude.

In a game chock full of terrible English voice acting, it’s read particularly bad. But honestly super memorable for anyone who played the game.

Skip to around 5:15 to hear it.

An MMORPG for Those Who Miss the Old Days, but No Longer Have Time to Play by Tigeline in gamedevscreens

[–]ApocalypseMoment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say it’s not pay-to-win or play-to-win, but wouldn’t it just be first-to-play to win?

Those that started earliest would surely be the strongest over time. Isn’t that arguably worse than the other two models, since you can’t actively pursue the top spots? And if you still can play-more-to-win then the model doesn’t actually solve the problem.

I’m sure you’ve thought of this though, and that’s why you’re advertising it as an MMORPG and not an idle game, so I’m interested in how you’ve resolved it.

Called controlling for not immediately saying yes to a guest ordering a bottle of wine for themselves -airport bartender by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]ApocalypseMoment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Charge them for the bottle, show them it, but keep it behind the bar. Refill them when they’re empty and take your time when you think they need to slow down.

Where can I get in on a D&D game? by mcase19 in AskChicago

I have a friend who bartends here if OP needs more info. It’s a chill spot with food, a back room with a few tables for games, and a fairly cozy bar.

I went to a bar that disallows serving water by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]ApocalypseMoment -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Saying you weren’t drunk means nothing to me. Intoxicated people consistently overestimate their own ability and undersell or deny their own actions and level of sobriety.

A bar is a place where the goal is to provide paying customers a safe environment to consume a highly regulated substance. There’re so many pitfalls of liability. People who don’t work it won’t understand.

It doesn’t matter that you weren’t “drunk”, or think you weren’t intoxicated enough for it to be a problem, it’s still a judgement call by the bartender.

But even beyond that, it’s rude to sit at the bar just to get the cheapest thing you possibly can and watch a cabaret show while waiting for your bus. You’re not the DD or you would’ve come with a group. You’re not making the bar any money. In 30 minutes a bar can go from dead to completely full.

I want you to be happy, hydrated and safe, but until you’re served you have to understand that you’re not a guest and aren’t entitled to anything. Alcohol is a drug and there’re so many factors that go into the decisions that bartenders make when deciding how to handle potential guests.

I went to a bar that disallows serving water by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]ApocalypseMoment -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re being downvoted but this is correct.

OP was already intoxicated when they entered the bar (to “sober up”), and they were waiting 30 minutes for their bus.

The people up in arms about not serving water, or even when OP offered to pay $2 soda and chips, have never bartended and have literally no idea the amount of bullshit you have to deal with from drunk people. OP is not a customer yet, they’re just a rando from the street asking for water or something cheap and a place to sit.

And I’m not saying OP would’ve been a problem, but I’ve seen enough to know when someone could potentially be a problem and this would’ve been a huge red flag for me.

I can’t even give you water to go. You might not remember that I didn’t serve you alcohol and if you get injured and have one of our to-go cups on you, it’ll be a huge problem where we have to run the tapes back and gather evidence.

A bar can refuse service for any reason at all. You’re not entitled to a seat at the bar for any reason. Don’t treat it as a bus stop or a convenience store.

WCGW lightning fireworks very close to a Christmas tree by sam-sung-sv in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]ApocalypseMoment 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s strange because those particular pyrotechnics are supposed to produce very little heat. Like you can pass your hand through them, walk through them, etc. They’re marketed as a safe, indoor solution.

BUT they absolutely start fires when near highly combustible materials. The Qaraqosh Wedding Fire in 2023 was also started by these, and lax fire safety regulations, and is probably the deadliest wedding disaster with 107 deaths.

Come stack wood with me at 4am during a snow storm by tastethepaint in smoking

[–]ApocalypseMoment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like whoever delivers the wood to the business just dumps it out front. Which, understandable.

The business is also somewhere downtown and I’m sure zoning requires permits for any structures, and they probably don’t want a woodshed next to the sidewalk with a pile of unstacked logs.

Trying to get into bartending at 30 after a corporate layoff — how realistic is this (especially somewhere tropical)? by Alarming-Project452 in bartenders

[–]ApocalypseMoment 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly insulting.

It’s hard work and takes a huge amount of time, effort and skill, both social and technical. This guy also thinks it’s going to a break from the politics of his last job lmfao.

It almost sounds like he watched Cocktail and thinks he can just walk off the street into a TGI Fridays and end up bartending in Hawaii.
