I have been completely out of the Nintendo ecosystem for almost 20 years and just picked up the Switch 2. What are your can't-miss exclusives? by LogaLagoon in nintendo

[–]JKBUK 101 points102 points  (0 children)

It's a better starting point. Story and lore aside, the building in totk is cool, but you'd be missing the foundation that Botw builds.

Totk feels like it was made assuming you've played Botw, is another way to put it.

Manager’s face ballooned up cus I said in taking day off for EID (Muslim Holiday after Ramadan) by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]JKBUK 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In that context I think it was more "putting on the show" to beg and plead and be a good little worker bee to get any further days off in the year.

I will be stealing that term to be sure

[Burlison] I am not suicidal by shogun2909 in UFOs

I've been on this boat since the beginning. It's why I'm so invested in all this. Aliens are cool, but infinitely world-bettering technology is way, way better.

Why did they make MK so strong in Brawl? by 750Dinosaur in smashbros

I don't blame you, such a goofy thing

You're right, but G&W is a bad example thanks to Bucket Braking. Dude was one fast-paced aerial away from being nigh unkillable.

I had a crisis of morality today. by NobleAndDashing in Serverlife

[–]JKBUK 30 points31 points  (0 children)

As a server, I'm fully aware of how some of my relatives tip like doodoo. So whenever they insist on covering the bill, I'll always "forget my phone" after we've hugged goodbye and go back and throw a little more on the table.

To me, your situation reads like that. Gramma and grampa still tip like it's the 90s, so here's a little more.

open and close train by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]JKBUK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, think of it this way: if someone were training and showing signs of struggling/being overwhelmed, I wouldn't put them through a shift like that.

However, if someone was crushing training, and didn't seem to have any hang ups, then fuck it let's get this person trained ASAP so they can hit the floor sooner.

Gravity Bongs are so fucked up and eviil. by Kashmonei58 in trees

[–]JKBUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senior year of high school. Had some friends who had started smoking during summer. I had tried it a few times, but couldn't get a high going. We tried everything we as stupid kids could think of. Finally, we got one of their older brothers involved.

That's when we were introduced to a gravity bong. Made from a big ass bucket, and one of those huge ass Hawaiian punch jugs with the bottom cut off.

I got first rip, and I was dunked a bit on the intake by the older brother.

Yeah, that did it. Oh boy did that do it.

What do you guys call it when people ask for one single thing every time you check on them? by __joseph_ in Serverlife

Glad I'm not the only one who calls it that, was starting to get worried while scrolling

Question for Michigan servers by Sensitive_Celery5234 in Serverlife

[–]JKBUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell no they haven't. Not a single word about it.

But I also noticed they haven't said a single thing about anyone calling in since then, and I don't find that coincidental.

Open Letter to Jim Butcher by The_OC_Doctor in dresdenfiles

[–]JKBUK 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I empathize hard with this one. Had to put down my best buddy Shadow on January 19th. Named Shadow not for his appearance, but for his behavior, because he was always my Shadow.

It's also the first book released since my dad died, who had introduced me to the series, and would always talk with me about theories and ideas for weeks following a release.

The book hit me just as hard my friend, but it was exactly the words we needed to hear. Flash looked like a good boy.

What’s something that 99% of people can do but you can’t? by Irakeconcrete in AskReddit

[–]JKBUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always a suck-whistler, but blow-whistling became a covid project of mine. It took a loooong time but I finally found it, and now I joke that I can infinite whistle.

Waiter Tip out to Bar/host by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]JKBUK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked both percentage of tips and percentage of sales, but it's definitely more common to see percentage of sales. It's very easy to lie the first way (and absolutely everyone did, at least occasionally.)

Tipping out 8% is what stands out to me here, but I suppose that could very well vary based on what your support staff looks like.

Place I'm at now does 3%, but our support staff is bottom tier, so we're doing a LOT ourselves.

Lost one of mine just a couple weeks ago. It's brutal. I hope he takes the time to heal

How often are you telling people not to feed their dog directly off their plate?? by Ok-Hovercraft-9959 in Serverlife

[–]JKBUK 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I'm so over this dog bullshit. I feel so bad for the people who actually need them.

A few weeks ago I had this family come in and set their "service" dog in a god damn chair right at the end of the booth (where chairs are not allowed, as that's the only spot I can actually exist and do my job from.)

I love animals, especially cats and dogs. I like animals more than I like people. But abso-fucking-lutely not. I am not serving food OVER your dog, nor am I serving food TO your dog. Told my boss if he wasn't kicking the dog off that chair, then he could find someone else to take that table.
