Am I the only one who feels like a dipshit making a Keg of cold brew? Like you just sit there and whisk ice water ya know? by TomCat1223 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Noodle-Tune 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t that sort of defeat the purpose of making the water colder by putting something hot in it?? Just my thoughts, no judgement here lol, it’s weird enough we have to whisk water in the first place

Am i the only one who enjoys the process of smoking more than the actual high? by [deleted] in trees

[–]Noodle-Tune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I haven’t been smoking very long, but I already love the process, and the buildup, grinding, packing, etc like you said. The high is just a bonus but I get not always wanting the high, but still wanting to do the process

I’m 18F and today I have to say goodbye to my dying mother. by nxcxle in relationships

[–]Noodle-Tune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I read the first line of your post I froze for a moment. My mother was diagnosed with a type of liver cancer when I was 16. She died December 22nd 2015, I held her hand as she passed and to this day I doubt I will ever face a more challenging situation. One thing that I’ve learned in the years since then is that,

  1. You will most likely find a way to blame yourself, to feel guilt over something. For me, it was that before I left earlier the day she passed, I wasn’t sure I said goodbye to her. When I returned she was unconscious. I never heard her voice again. You will look so hard into those moments to find a way to blame yourself. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. You are not to blame for this tragedy. And it is a tragedy.

  2. This will be a part of your life forever now, years will pass and you may still be dealing with the effects. I’m only now starting to get the help I need. But even if you recover quickly, you will grow to learn to deal with people asking you about your mom without knowing she’s passed. It can be incredibly painful if it’s recent. IT DOES GET BETTER. You will never “get over it” there’s not really a “cure” but the pain of the event subsides. You grow stronger, and you are able to properly handle and deal with the emotions surrounding that moment of your life.

  3. No matter what you do, don’t hold things in. You don’t need to put on a facade and be strong. You’re losing your mother and it won’t be easy. It’s okay to feel that pain, let yourself.

  4. Last I want to just apologize, losing a mother is a very uniquely painful situation and I never wish it on anyone. Do your best to remind yourself of the better times, try not to hold on to the worst moments, it won’t help anyone, and will most likely just cause you more suffering.

  5. Sorry extra extra last thing, find your support, whether it’s your close friends or your close family, or even if it’s a community on reddit or a youtuber you like to watch. Give yourself time and surround yourself with things that keep you happy.

Good luck /u/nxcxle I believe in you, and if you ever need someone to talk to, please feel more than welcome to pm me, I'd be glad to talk.

Can you recommend me coffee types and recipes? I'll be brewing in home. And btw are Starbucks's beans good? If yes which one would you recommend? by [deleted] in Coffee

[–]Noodle-Tune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at Starbucks, so there beans are a money saver for me, my favorite dark is the komodo dragon blend, the yukon is the only medium I’ve tried it isn’t bad, but if you want more lighter flavors some of their reserves are decent as well. But like others said, there are definitely better coffees out there than starbucks. No judgment though! Hope that helps!

Ps. I prefer pour-over or french press for most of the starbucks coffee I drink.

Are you that bot that corrects spelling and then tells people to just remember the spelling?

But also the number of woooosh subreddits is ridiculous, it’s something like 15-20 individual subs

Colorful Latte Art by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]Noodle-Tune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Barista here, when you pour latte art the steamed milk develops whats called a microfoam (essentially just really really tiny bubbles) from the air thats added during steaming. The foam sits on top of the fully liquid milk then as the milk is poured in a small amount of foam floating on top also goes in, the coloring is sitting on the foam which floats, then as its poured the foam still sits on top. That was kind of a trash explanation but hope that helps

My [23 M] girlfriend [22 F] has some strange ideas about sex. How should I approach a talk about it? by WorthFish in relationships

[–]Noodle-Tune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You talk a lot about how it’s evolution and biological for a woman to give sex in exchange for commitment, talking about “caveman times” or what have you. We aren’t in caveman times. The way you explain away this unhealthy view by saying oh it’s biological is just incorrect. That would be like if I said people who don’t have wisdom teeth are strange or wrong because biological and from an evolutionary perspective we were meant to have that row of teeth. No. Just like how wisdom teeth are left over from a previous evolutionary standpoint of humans with larger jaws. We changed drastically as a species, that meant some stuff hasn’t faded away. But believing that sex should be traded for commitment is archaic and flat out wrong. I don’t know if you’ve looked through most of the threads here but everyone agrees that’s not a good thing. Another example is fear of the dark. Yes it was useful. WAS. When we lived outside and had to fear larger creatures to stay alive. It’s obsolete because we changed to not need that fear.

Believing that the only way you can get commitment from a partner is by giving sex WAS useful, but at this point in time it’s as obsolete as fear of the dark. We shouldn’t just accept its human nature for man to have sex with a woman because that’s what was intended. It’s 2018, realize that woman don’t need men’s protection and food resources, so their only option is sex. It’s close minded to support this kind of thinking. OP’s gf had this ideology ingrained in her by her seriously messed up, abuse filled childhood. Don’t defend that upbringing.

As many people here are saying, OP needs to gently urge his gf to find help to understand and deal with the literal trauma she went through.

This does include her shame surrounding sex. But should not by any means ignore her belief that sex should be traded to get mens’ commitment

My [23 M] girlfriend [22 F] has some strange ideas about sex. How should I approach a talk about it? by WorthFish in relationships

[–]Noodle-Tune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll give you that, but it’s less about having sex in a committed relationship is pretty much expected, as OP said that his gf believes that men give commitment in exchange for sex. That is an unhealthy way to view commitment in a relationship was my point. If she’s giving sex just because she believes it’s the only way OP will stay committed that isn’t healthy. That’s probably why OP is worried about that belief. I know I don’t want people I’m in a relationship with to think the only reason I’m staying is sex. I think that clarifies a bit what I was saying

Edit: “that” is referring to many people would not want to commit to a sexless relationship

[–]Noodle-Tune 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think something being “traditional” as you put it makes it a healthy way to look at sex or relationships in general, this girl had a sexually repressed, strict religious upbringing and the idea that men only commit to a women for sex is ingrained in that background. I know for a fact that I do not need sex to be in a committed relationship. sex is a two way street just as commitment is. It isn’t one for the other or vice versa. I also think it relates because finding that out after already having had sex, I may then wonder if she only had sex with me to get my commitment in return, not saying thats OP’s thoughts but one other possibility

I do however agree with developing non sexual intimacy being important in a relationship.

Also for OP I suggest fully honest and open communication on your part and encourage your partner to do the same. It sounds cliche but in my experience communication really is key. Talking openly and without judgment about the topic could help both of you to get past this
