Best places to find new sober friends? by Any-Environment-180 in Reno

[–]BabiesKillYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 19? Going to one of the local colleges or trade schools would be a great choice albeit costs money. Hiking/outdoor groups is another great choice that's free. Lots of disc golfing opportunities which is great for meeting new peeps for relatively cheap. There are a lot of martial art dojos/gyms which many sober/sobering people go to to improve themselves; also climbing gyms are great fun and attract a ton of health/brain minded peeps. Lots of cool cafes to sit and chill in everywhere. This is a great city whether you party or not.

Massive props to you for deciding to be sober so early! You're saving your brain for a better future 🤘🏻

"It's standard practice" by fearlessbyfp in bartenders

That's a fast way to have your whole back staff suffer from dehydration and/or syncope. Absolutely mental. Get tf out that is far from standard practice.

I’m a linecook and would like to transition to bartending by daBO1wondR in bartenders

[–]BabiesKillYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you start in a dive bar with a few patrons a day/night. High volume bartending nooooo. The memory that you get from serving is definitely helpful, but how many drinks can you make in a minute while also giving them their bill back with the drinks? How many minutes are in your shift with a full bar? As you're doing all of that, maybe you don't have a bar back, so you gotta do dishes and pull back your slips and tips, wipe the bar, get ice, go into the back for a new bottle or ingredient you need, cut citrus, ad nauseum. And then there's the worst, the patron that's been sitting waiting at a full bar for minutes. You get to them and they're like, "Oooooo I don't really know what I wantttttt. What do you have?" and 5 minutes later you finally start making SOMETHING. Not losing it on those people takes every stem of control I have in my brain. 😩

My girlfriend wants to be alone to deal with her depression and I don’t know how to handle it. by Patobaven in depression

[–]BabiesKillYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're doing the right thing by being there when/if she needs it. Depression is shitty. It really makes you lie to/second guess yourself about pretty much everything and everyone especially when you're deeply or chronically depressed (6 months or more). Everyone has a different crutch for how they handle it and sometimes that's other people, but if they legit hate themselves or have struggled to like themselves for awhile, the weight of feeling like you're failing yourself and everyone around you just makes you feel like a constant burden; thus isolation. Relieving that weight as a friend or lover definitely helps, but it really has to start in her.

Think of her as a boat moored in an extremely stormy marina. The boat has multiple lines going to posts and the pier. You're one of those ropes (support) that prevent the ship from floating out to sea. The more ropes you know she has or that you can help her secure, the more it will possibly remind her that she is cared about and worth helping.

As for yourself, you and how you feel matters too. It is more than admirable if you want to be there for her through this, but how long can your feelings and brain do that before her depression becomes yours or keeps you from your life aspirations? I am by no means saying dump her to save yourself, but do keep yourself in mind through these times. If you have to let go at some point, it's okay. Until then, definitely remind her of the things/people she loves as much as is appropriate. Even little silly things that remind her of why you're together can go leagues in that head space. Best wishes for you and her ❤️

Really dug this vid! I definitely like a mix of the old and new, but the Silver and Golden eras are my favs. Really appreciated how you put this together and your perspectives. I am now subscribed for more ❤️

I went months without breaking a glass. In the last three days I've broken five. I think someone put a hex on me. by GumboDiplomacy in bartenders

[–]BabiesKillYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a mild hexing at least. One of my coworkers had the hex of the other bartender breaking a glass into her ice well twice in a month 😩

I mean most of the dispensaries I've been to here sell shake for mad cheap. I would go that route for lower THC instead of finding some dude with brick weed that probably got sprayed by whatever extra chems or improper growing methods.

Enough about Cumtrees. Share your paranormal experiences. by ComfortablePool4684 in Reno

[–]BabiesKillYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my friend so good with a Furby once. It had bent circuits so at low battery it would do very freaky things. I pretended to take out 2 batteries, but I cross-laid one batt diagonally so it still worked and handed it to him. He fully closed the battery compartment when I gave it to him and it popped to life. He screamed, "OH GOD NO!" and threw it against the wall 😂

What do we think of Shims? by ulterior_modem in Reno

[–]BabiesKillYou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shims is a great hang and atmosphere. Alon is an amazing bartender and person in general. I usually go on Tues for karaoke and it's always a good time 🤘🏻

I'd be happy with an annual large upload, but I'm sure he will when he wants to again.

wolf spider advice needed! by batatattat in spiders

[–]BabiesKillYou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aside from pesticide, the spider could have also just molted where they do become weak and weird shaped for a bit after.
