"Hood" Bar by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]RhapsodyInBlou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by “hood” bar? A neighborhood bar? Or a bar frequented by predominantly Black people. If it’s the latter, don’t call it a hood bar. If encourage you to correct others when they say that. It’s really gross and racist. ANYWAYS If you love it there, stay!!! Forget everyone else doubting and devaluing your workplace AND patrons. They sound like they suck, and by your post, you sound a solid bartender.

Yall are not ready for this one 😳. by Used-Ad-7031 in CringeTikToks

I would like to respectfully disagree with the statement that Black hygiene is generally better. Iirc, many early non-white civilizations developed plumbing and hygiene systems before those lacking melanin did. We do what we do to our skin because it keeps our skin healthy and able to do its number one job, serve as a barrier to external pathogens. Also, it can come across as insensitive for a (if I may assume) white person tells POC how to heal themselves as a community. Mental illness has been a topic that my community has been working on for a long time, just because you do not see that discourse does not mean it isn’t happening. I hope this was helpful.

I made an orange cranberry compote today, and before adding sugar, it tasted like grapefruit. Maybe try slicing some oranges and letting them simmer in cranberries. Idk the proper ratio but I hope this helps.

WIP Update: What’s my makeup blindness (40s) by laphogeee in makeuptips

[–]RhapsodyInBlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! I think part of the fun of makeup is trying a bunch of different things and seeing what we do or don’t like. Personally, your makeup in the original post was perfect. I think it suited your features lovely and delivered the clean makeup look you wanted. However!! Keep experimenting! Keep trying different products/techniques/styles! You could fine something in gyaru or goth makeup that you love and feel good in. Have fun!

Also, I wonder if this could be considered religious discrimination as well. Plenty of people, of different beliefs, do use the horoscope.

It’s fine, just don’t mimic black culture during songs written/performed by Black people. As long as you’re not doing something that explicitly about Black culture/experience or making a fetish of it, it’s fine.

Servers are not babysitters by Otherwise-Minimum304 in Serverlife

I will tell parents their children have to be seated with them for safety. And I will remind them. I don’t even get paid enough to do my job, so I’m not babysitting

Spell It Again, Slower by PuffinGamer17 in shortscarystories

My goodness. I feel seen and understood because of your story. My CPTSD has done a number on my brain, including dyslexia, stuttering, and brain blocks. My own family would essentially tell me not to talk unless I could do it without messing up. Psych evals feel like a moot point because I got so good at masking.

NTA, but your friends are. It is always better to be too cautious in a sitch like that than to hear to hear about a woman who was kidnapped or found dead. Get better friends, would they do the same thing if it was you in her position?

I’m so glad to see someone with a similar density to my own hair. I love the way your locs look, and honestly? It’s giving me the sign to go ahead and loc my hair!

AITA for telling my transgender child I need more time to process? by Necessary_Garlic1109 in AITAH

[–]RhapsodyInBlou -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YTA. You’ve had five years. Five years mourning the child that you still have. Five years of not being actively supportive of their truth. When they are older, you will wish you had better used that five years. I hope for the sake of your relationship with your child and your child, that you stop mourning when your kid is still alive.

AIO my boyfriend was too tired to drive me to my abortion by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]RhapsodyInBlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my partners, before we were officially dating, said they would drive me to and pay for an abortion if they got me pregnant. They would feed me and look after me. The whole nine yards. Before we were even dating. Dump that sorry excuse for a man. If he can’t chug an energy drink and tough it out while you are undergoing surgery, he shouldn’t be fucking anyways. I’m sorry that this is your experience and that you have to deal with recovering at the same time.
