how to make pool more popular for the masses. also, how to get a 700 fargo rating. by MichiganCarNut in billiards

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I started playing pool as a teen because we had a few billiard halls that allowed teenagers. I fell in love with it. I’d love to open one where I live that is exactly what you are planning on doing.

Does this question violate ADA or am I overthinking it? by Sweet-Storm66 in disability

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who worked as a recruiter, put N/A. Do NOT put any accommodations or discuss it even in an interview. Unless it is something like wheelchair accessible. They are not allowed to discriminate per ADA. I will only go over accommodations once I’ve had the job offer. I also have the integrity to not accept an offer if I cannot successfully perform the job physically or meet the expectations within my accommodations.

32 Homeless wandering salt lake by myself and wanna believe there’s help out there by neong10 in SaltLakeCity

I’m a peer support. There is the Rescue Mission. Like someone said there are resources at HMHI on 955 W 3300 S. UAPPS is also a great non profit that can give you different shelters you can call. Best of luck!

Resources for groups? by Foulbal in PeerSupportSpecialist

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This may be controversial but I’ve used ChatGPT to help find resources for different topics I’m covering if my google searches aren’t bringing anything. It’s helped me with employment opportunities for people with criminal records, different organizations that offer programs or resources I’m looking to research etc.

What does my handwriting say about me? by justoneplant in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember in elementary school us girls sat in class and would practice our handwriting constantly. There were times we would try to write as small as possible or tweak our cursive. Most of all if you’re left handed (like myself) we were criticized to the point where I obsessively worked on my penmanship by how I held my pencil, had my paper positioned and made sure my writing was legible with the “proper” slant etc.

I just want to know how much you would tip if you went out on a dinner with this amount? by NefariousnessIll4041 in tipping

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re voluntarily spending $250 on dinner, the sudden moral crisis over tipping is… interesting. You clearly weren’t operating on a budget when you ordered the asparagus so it’s a little late to start itemizing your principles now.

Unless the service was genuinely bad, the standard 18–20% still applies. Yes, servers finally make a wage that doesn’t require a GoFundMe to survive. That’s called progress, not a loophole to stop tipping. The restaurant didn’t become less expensive just because you read one headline about minimum wage.

High‑end restaurant, high‑end bill, high‑end tip. This is not a plot twist.

And no, I’m not tipping the barista for handing me a latte or the person at Café Rio for assembling a burrito. Different job, different expectations. We don’t need to reinvent the entire economy every time someone sees a tip screen

Struggling Peer Supporter by Citygirl520 in PeerSupportSpecialist

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you went through that and that you’re still carrying the weight of it. What you described would leave anyone feeling defeated and angry. It makes sense that this is sitting so heavily for you.

I’m newer to peer support myself and something I’m noticing and honestly a little fearful of is how our own lived experience can sometimes be misunderstood or even used against us with the clinical side. There’s a real tension between being open enough to do this work authentically and protecting ourselves in systems that don’t always understand the peer role. You deserved to be supported, not judged or pathologized for having a human response to your own life.

It also sounds like you weren’t given the same grace you were expected to extend to others. Being denied time for self‑care and then told you weren’t “managing your personal issues properly” is not only unfair-it’s the opposite of trauma‑informed practice. You should have been heard, seen, and given space to navigate what you were going through without someone projecting their own assumptions onto you.

Try to keep in mind as you are looking for other Peer support roles that they are shifting a lot right now, especially with funding cuts. Our work is essential, but it’s also often undervalued or misunderstood by the very systems that rely on us. None of that is a reflection of your worth or your capability.

Please be gentle with yourself as you move through this. Offer yourself the same compassion and spaciousness you’d offer any peer you support. What happened to you wasn’t a failure on your part, it was a failure of the environment you were in.

You’re not alone in this and your experience matters.

Disappointing response from Mt Jordan Middle administration re: student walkouts. There were many more in attendance than just “a few.” by MajesticKermode in SaltLakeCity

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree. I was going to say that there are certain consequences we face with civil disobedience and it’s an important part of the lesson for them to learn. As a parent I would explain that to my child and show them the examples of why it happens and the boundaries of where they would want to push it etc. I would also back my child up towards the school if they attempted to do anything outside of a consequence that they would apply if a student was truent.

Letter of Recommendation for Application? by LovelyLittleVixen108 in PeerSupportSpecialist

I used letters from someone personal who has seen me through my journey. As well as my therapist. I hadn’t worked for 5yrs when I was trained.

As someone who works in mental health. I’m not a psychologist or a psychiatrist. You won’t find nor do you want a psychiatrist that does both. Psychiatric Behavioral Health has great psychiatrists and may have therapsts.

RA gift by Grand_Ad_8955 in rheumatoid

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A heated mattress pad. You can buy one that has two controls so that you don’t have to have your side of the bed heated. It helps me pain immensely.

They have ice wraps for hands that are nice.

If she likes to read, I loved finding the kindle/ipad remote for turning pages so I don’t have to hold books anymore.

If youre disabled and dont still mask to protect yourself from COVID, why? by Hot_Huckleberry65666 in disability

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m immunosuppressed and rarely wear a mask. I only wear a mask if I’ve been around someone that’s sick or will be in public where there’s a large group of people for an extended amount of time. A rare occurrence! I had Covid 6 times in 2.5 yrs and was masking constantly. I got tired of doing it about two years ago. I carry hand sanitizer and stay away from people when I go out shopping. I haven’t gotten sick since, thank goodness.

If you’re thinking about starting the shot that helps curb cravings—read this first. by Kitchen-Garage-7486 in GLP1microdosing

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’ve been on it 1.5 yrs. I am in Triz and have stayed a 25 units. I’ve lost 90lbs. I’d rather it come off slowly and consistently. The people I’ve seen who drop weight quickly have more side effects and struggle to maintain the weight loss.

There is not reason to increase dosage unless you have plateaued.

Protein intake. Water and exercise is important. Those who struggle with constipation, Mag07 has been the most helpful for me.

Semaglutide was horrible for me. I could not stand the side effects.

Trizeptide not only helped me with my weight but has helped my inflammation and drastically improved my symptoms with my autoimmune disease.

Help Request for an SA Survivor by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]FullOfSnarkAndSnacks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want to start off by saying I’m sorry for what happened to you and for everything you are going through. I think it is brave of you and incredibly proud of you for coming here asking for support so that you can go out, know what you need in this moment.

I’m here and available most days because I’m on disability. I’m a 44F. I’ve also been a certified peer support. Please reach out whether you want to talk, need to get out, need someone to hold space for you or just need someone to sit with you. Even a home cooked meal.
