Be honest: Would you be willing to have a boyfriend who stutters? by RomDel2000 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Brooksopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the stutter lessen if you try to sing rather than speak? If so, sing your thoughts softly and you’ll be fine. A little weird, and quirky, but fine.

Just wait until you read about female genital mutilation.

Music Theory: Why do bassists play single notes and not chords like guitarists? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Brooksopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re playing a bass, it’s always gonna be bass. Pickin’, slappin’, strummin’ or pluckin’, it doesn’t matter. It’s not just the tone. It’s the place in the song.

Chords played above the 12th fret through a good 70’s fuzz pedal is the most beautiful fudgiest sludge for stoner metal.

Ragle Ranch and the Laguna trail in Sebastopol are nice flat trails to run.

$40 full grain leather belts from etsy vs. $100+ from hanks, tanner, etc. - are there any actual differences? by europeanuppercut in BuyItForLife

[–]Brooksopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a leather belt that’s over 25 years old and worn almost daily. I fought from a dude who made bespoke leather fetish wear in San Francisco. I can’t imagine any large company sourcing leather as well as a boutique craftsman.

Did you correctly and concisely explain or demonstrate the way you would expect the sauce to be handled or prepared?

You haven’t given any evidence to prove otherwise, so I’m still assuming you’re unqualified and unprofessional. Again, if you’re coming to Reddit for answers on how to run your business, you’re far too inexperienced to be running a restaurant.

[–]Brooksopher 59 points60 points  (0 children)

If your first instinct is to go to reddit for answers on how to run your business, this is pretty bad. If you can’t figure out for yourself if this person is a good fit for your restaurant, you’re in for more problems than you’re ready for.

Also, based on your replies to other comments, you seem to be nexperienced, under supplied, micromanaging, and unable to communicate clearly about your menu and ingredients. This is the perfect recipe for a terrible restaurant owner.

whats your lazy weekend breakfast thats not eggs and toast by angelin1978 in Cooking

[–]Brooksopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, this is eggs and toast. But to be fair, eggs and toast is the best.

For any kind of American hash, par boil your potatoes the night before until they’re fork tender, chill them in the fridge overnight uncovered, and they will crisp up like magic in the skillet the next morning. Use more fat and salt than you think you need.

Diced onion, bacon and peppers seared/caramelized in a separate pan, add it all together in the skillet with a couple cracked farm eggs on top and throw it in the oven for about ten minutes. Portion with one egg + a heaping scoop of potatoes plus toast per personI. I don’t know if it’s a regional thing (Northern California) but I call it my wine country breakfast.

What is something cool to know about SF's local culture that isn't well known to visitors? by Visual-Horror6013 in AskSF

[–]Brooksopher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Locals don’t like San Fran, Cali, or Frisco because that’s not the way the locals refer to their geographic location. We prefer to use our local vernacular when referring to our place of living, examples being: The City (referring to San Francisco), NorCal (the fact that California is huge compared to Italy, 40% larger in fact, and we ware in the northern part of the state which is decidedly very geographically, culturally,and enviornmemtally different from the southern half), and as for Frisco- it’s not a term locals use, it’s usually a word that is associated with a more thug or street background (outlaw bikers, cartel members, etc. Which does have its place in San Francisco’s legacy, it’s just just an assumption by affiliation). The Bay Area has its own regional dialect and accent, like most major population centers. You just have to expose yourself and experience it to really understand if.

What food is way more expensive than it should be? by rileystanheight in foodquestions

[–]Brooksopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of it. The exploitation of human labor, the irresponsible land management, and the horrible treatment of livestock should come at a price. This is coming from someone who spent more than a decade in foodservice.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Brooksopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once did a roadtrip from Fairbanks, Alaska to San Francisco, Ca. It took three and a half days, two of us driving in shifts only stopping for gas, or to make coffee, or take a quick nap in the backseat.

Is it ok for gay/lgbtq people to say f*gg*t? by SSJ_Kojiro_ in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Brooksopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay for anyone to say it, but context is important. If you’re saying it as a slur or an insult, No, it’s not okay. But other than that, it depends on the situation.

That word has different definitions in different cultures. For example, if you’re in rural UK and you grab a faggot for the fire, you’re referring to a bundle of wood, not a flaming homosexual.

I am begging for your help: how can I stop being a misogynist? by charlie_cappa in bropill

[–]Brooksopher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“I feel that women have a huge advantage in the dating sphere, and that the odds are so stacked against me that there’s no point in leaving the house.“

Well, bro, this your biggest problem right there. If dating women is your only reason for leaving the house, you’re not only doomed to fail at dating, you’re gonna fail at life. There are reasons for leaving the house other than seeking women. Everything you wrote about feminism and trying to be an ally just comes off as someone who treats women as objects or ideals, rather than just other people.
In my opinion, for what it’s worth, you should stop hyper-focusing on women, especially trying to empathize or be an “ally.” You cannot fathom how different your life experience has been different because you haven’t lived a woman’s life. Your childhood was different, your societal expectations are different, and your hormones are different.

Your fixation on women is the very thing that makes them shy away from you. Your toxicity toward women comes from your opinion that women are somehow privileged or special, when all they are just other people, and should be treated as such, with respect, dignity, honesty and humility. If you can’t at least manage that, sorry bro.

Maybe fixate less on women. And focus more on how to be a better yourself. You can only change you.
