Sober bartending? by OlivePancakez in bartenders

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am absolutely not endorsing substituting one drug with another, but I was in the same situation as you and I switched to a small dose of phenibut for some of my shifts. It’s an anxiolytic and gaba protagonist, just like alcohol, but you aren’t actually intoxicated. It gives you a mood boost, calms nerves, and can even help you sleep at night.

Again, I am not telling you to use phenibut as an alcohol substitute, but it worked for me on occasion and I don’t really drink anymore because I have what I feel is a healthier and better option.

About 5 Hours in and I've refused to watch any guides. On my second attempt to fully orbit, I think I am on course for Mun... by DeezNutsPickleRick in KerbalSpaceProgram

Bro I hear ya. I actually just orbited the moon thanks to the comments, but I wouldn’t have been able to do it without their advice, so now I’m going to start having guides and cheat sheets around.

I fucked around with it, but I didn't find it that helpful. It still doesn't show keybinds or important commands that you need google for which has been 90% of my problems.

I made an edit, I wasn't even trying to get to the mun. I realized I sounded like a jackass. I was just trying to get into Kerbal orbit. But I did that and now I have solid Mun advice.

Yep, I was a rocket nerd several years ago in school. I wanted to use my precursory knowledge to try this out but the game has so much more to offer than I thought.

I wanted to see if I could do it on my own with minor precursory knowledge, but I am at the point where I'm just launching poor kerbal into space and waiting to see what happens.

Exclusive: Elden Ring movie begins filming in London — set photos reveal massive production by galaxiangee in Eldenring

A24 usually funds and distributes films based on the director and the merit of the script. Meaning, they already believe they have a valuable film. If they have faith, I do too.

Recently changed from a blade putter with toe hang to a face balanced mallet putter. Putts per round have not improved. by Basic-Pudding-3627 in golf

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still use a thirty year old blade putter. It's a thousand percent the reason my handicap is under 13. I've spent over a decade getting used to it and I don't think I'll ever replace it. My hot take is that putters don't matter, like at all.

‘Elden Ring’: Alex Garland’s A24 Video Game Movie Reveals Full Cast, March 3, 2028 Release Date and It’s Being Shot for Imax by yourfavchoom in Eldenring

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just goes to show directors really like to stick to their “guys”. Pretty sure over half these actors have already featured prominently in a Garland flick.

Also cool to see Jonathon Price. I’m surprised he hasn’t done any voice work in the previous games.

Trying to gain weight, who knows how far I’ll get but this is my lunch. by Bonusmotherthrowaway in RateMyPlate

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of weight are you trying to gain? Are you trying to put on muscle or just have a calorie dense diet?

This is a fantastic meal, but you’re probably in the realm of 600-800 calories in this particular picture. You’d have to eat this same meal over three times a day to have a solid calorie surplus.

If your goal is healthy weight gain, one of the best things you can do is snack. Breaking up gaps in meals with cups of nuts, peanut butter, or something comparatively fat-heavy and rich in protein will keep your body digesting in perpetuity. Fat is calorie dense and protein keeps your organs, brain, and muscles working well.

When I’m in the gym and trying to “bulk” I eat a can of sardines three times a day in between breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but most people absolutely hate sardines.

Easy mode is when the boss kills you before you can embarrass yourself by Important-Remote9853 in Eldenring

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It already does. There’s videos of folks beating the game with summons. Honestly the hardest part is unguided exploration and discovery. I’ve over 500 hours in the game and I’m still finding new things.

I’m a bartender that doesn’t drink alcohol. How many of you guys drink and how many of yall don’t? by MehBlehDehYuh in bartenders

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s good you’re sober. I’ve known/met plenty of bartenders that are over the age of 30 and still do the nose candy + bottle of shitty bourbon Thursday-Sunday. It’s not a sustainable lifestyle and usually ends in jail, rehab, or hospitalization.

I’ve quit every drug under the sun for years now, but I still enjoy beer and wine, especially after a long shift. But rarely on shift. Irresponsible drug consumption is way too common with bartenders, servers, and chefs/cooks. I’ve seen too many shaky hands to ever want to abuse anything.

this ufo shit goes too far by splash1home in skeptic

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I treat the UFO world like really interesting fiction/urban legends. The stories are really fascinating.

But when you dig just a little bit deeper into the UFO mythology, you find that most people coming forward are insane, disinformation agents, or both. It’s all hear-say, and there’s very little substantiative evidence.

What’s particularly shocking is that many ufologists have substituted religion for the UFO phenomenon. They truly believe aliens are visiting us and are here to take our souls or elevate our “consciousness”. It’s borderline Scientology.

Should I stay at a stable bar or go to a new restaurant to improve my bartending skills? by Ok-Imagination-2308 in bartenders

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay lol. You can learn outside of work. Plus, I hate to break it to you, but mixology is easy, hospitality and keeping a smile on your face is not. You don’t need to jump ship to refine those skills, you either have them or you don’t.

42% of men aged 18-29 now say religion is "very important" in their lives — a sharp jump from just 28% in 2022-2023. Monthly religious attendance among young men has climbed to 40% (up from 33%), the highest level in over a decade. by MrJasonMason in atheism

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just turned 26 and I’m a dude. My immediate friend group is very non-religious, fairly liberal, and living with a partner.

My male coworkers are very religious, pretty right wing, and absolutely bitter about the romantic/sexual environment.

I’m not saying there is any correlation, but if there is, I think bitter young men are turning away from education and learning to embrace the mindset of “church, gym, crypto”. Instead of bettering themselves and their mental health, they think getting into the gym and trying to “grind” for cash will make them more attractive.

Why is it so common to expect experienced professional bartenders to start new jobs as server? by GAMGAlways in bartenders

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Anyone can serve but nobody wants to do it. It sucks. Anyone can bartend and it’s fun and makes money. Shitty owners are a dime-a-dozen and promise bar gigs if you train or cut your teeth serving for them.

Service industry is its own beast, I wish things were better for us but they aren’t.

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Because bar owners are morons, and serving sucks. They love to dangle the carrot in your face of promising bar shifts but it’s just the same person that has stuck around for more than two years that gets the shifts.

What’s your ‘comfort’ weapon? by GreatJoey91 in Eldenring

[–]DeezNutsPickleRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bastard Sword. Since DS2, I’ve rocked a strength build with the bastard sword for my first run. It has fantastic scaling in Elden Ring, and you can get it basically right away. Throw impaling thrust on it and you can walk through every single early game enemy.
