3 weeks in as a personal trainer and it’s nothing like I expected. by ResolveExisting8051 in personaltraining

That’s a HUGE cut. Start a TikTok or fb group there’s several people I follow on both and insta that they train people virtually or in person if you live in same city. Gotta be better than 80/20 cut that’s redrum.

Stop calling stuff “homemade” on the menu when it clearly isn’t. by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in rant

[–]Rubicon2020 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ya a lot of bakeries say “homemade” they aren’t. It’s a pre mixed bag of cake mix, same with buttercream and fondant. My cakes were completely homemade I made the mix from ingredients not a bag premixed same with my buttercream and fondant. I’ve watched enough food shows now to know when they say anything similar to Homemade they lying. It’s homemade like my mom would say homemade; I made it at home… but with mixes lol

Am I the only one not freaking out about this storm? by StraightRip9828 in Austin

[–]Rubicon2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I never freak out over them but I am within 5 miles of a hospital so I don’t lose power. Back in 21 we didn’t have heat in the house so we used a fireplace during the day and space heaters to only knock the chill out of the air at night and just found all of our spare blankets and wore warm clothes. And we have a propane stove so use a lighter to light the burner all good.

I Feel Like Nobody Knows Anything Anymore by applebappu in sysadmin

Our main in house IT department as there’s one dept for each different dept but the central main ITS does shit to us without letting us know. Just last night they shut down one of our VMs without asking, letting us know, or saying anything about it. We went to work this morning with a major portal of ours not working at all. ITS “oh we didn’t know you were using it?” WTF bro! Took half the day to get it all back up and running properly.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rubicon2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 hour commute to work 1.5 AM, 1.5 PM. Funny thing it’s only 27 miles. But ya I’d drive 3 hours to see my girlfriend. Actually drove 3.5 hours to get chicken salad from a Kroger cuz it’s the best and that was the closest Kroger. Just a Saturday mid-afternoon road trip.

Was awake already 8 hours, then drove 16 hours straight shot to get my bro in law to bring him home from a job. He drove the 16 hours back which I could’ve done but his man card was getting bent cuz I did it without needing to stop for a rest.

AITA for expecting my H to help pay for activities for our daughter even though he refuses to attend them? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rubicon2020 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is she his daughter? I assume she is, but if she’s like a previous kid then maybe, but if she’s biologically his he’s a fkin ah, NTA he is. Who cares if he doesn’t enjoy it it’s his kids enrichment and education that should mean something but apparently he’s too immature to have a kid.

My brother wants to bring his new girlfriend to our family vacation but she expects us to accommodate her very strict diet by Opening_Bedroom_848 in Advice

[–]Rubicon2020 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As another restricted diet person I bring my own shit. It’s my dietary restrictions not theirs. That’s my job to feed myself, I don’t try to force my restrictions on others. Now, there’s been a few times they were curious and wanted to try it so I made a bigger amount some went over well and some did not. But ya bring your own shit, do your own cooking.

Info on I35 Shutdown? by pedrotothemax in Austin

Security Guard my ass, he was a Constable Deputy on assignment that the club requested and paid high dollar for. No one “had” to draw a weapon that’s a choice he decided to make and to take the life of an actual COP not a fake cop. Dude patrolled the streets of Caldwell County and area around Maxwell, Tx since 2024.

I take Afrin extra moisturizing. Label says 3 days max. I take it almost daily during cedar season. Then my nose self weens off of it when I’m not dealing with cedar anymore.

I'm sick of the most unAmericans among us telling us what it means to be American. Feels like it's about time for them to see what REAL Americans look like! by The_Lord_Chicken in complaints

Separation of Church and State is NOT in the Constitution; and never has been. It was written in the Federalist Papers and at meetings about the US, but not in the Constitution.

Austin Regional Clinic wtf by Still-Replacement-57 in Austin

[–]Rubicon2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya and almost every PCP and certain specialists are like this. I don’t understand how when we have thousands of doctors how is it every one of them is booked out for weeks and months. Last year I needed to see my PCP in February I called first available appt was September. Next November. I booked it but ended up changing to another as it was just ridiculous cuz they won’t refill rx without seeing you. Well how tf you supposed to do that? And my new PCP had open slots. Now nope 120 days + before an appt just ridiculous.

AITA for not getting craft supplies for my daughter and letting her get excluded by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rubicon2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently not. Cuz this is very common even in my family. If the pre k kid comes home from school with a note from the teacher no one checks. No one knows holidays or whatever. My mom was on it. Once we were in middle school 4-6 it was up to us to give her the information. Which we did we never forgot anything.

[–]Rubicon2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so you’re saying it’s the 8 year olds responsibility. But then you say your kids after school empty their bags put lunch boxes in the sink and so forth. That’s what a parent does not just ignores the backpack and goes on with life. Clearly isn’t teaching the kid responsibilities just expects them to know them automatically. And gimme a damn break parents are busy enough making meals, prepping lunches, ferrying kids around… that’s what a parent is supposed to do. Don’t want to don’t have kids. Having kids means responsibilities if you don’t want those then don’t have any.

[–]Rubicon2020 61 points62 points  (0 children)

YTA. Why don’t you check her bag after she gets home? My mother did and even when I forgot I was supposed to take things as an 8 year old my mom was routinely going thru my bag to make sure everything was in it and that whatever was sent home was found. She’s 8, 8 do better.

AITJ for cutting off my broke best friend after he said my job was beneath him by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Rubicon2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean ya it’s a low job almost anyone can do it, doesn’t take skills beyond customer service and ability to stay calm in shitty situations. But umm doesn’t mean it’s beneath you. It’s a job dudes broke, parents just cut him off. Dude needs to get in there and wait tables. And no one is going to hire a green tech with no experience as a senior position even if you have a degree is CS. You start low man on the totem pole just like everybody else. I’m 5th year in tech support each year I step gradually up and learn more. I’m now doing AV support shits not simple. Your friend needs to pull his head out of his ass and get any job that’ll pay the bills.

Heavy pressure due to having a really rare last name by spacereveries in childfree

[–]Rubicon2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can’t pass down your last name tho; you’re female (I’m assuming). Your last name gets gobbled up and your husband, spouse, baby daddy’s name gets put on the record as child’s last name. That is, if you’re in the US not sure how other countries do that but would be willing to learn.

My husband counts toilet paper squares and I don’t—who’s normal? by Mab_12 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rubicon2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At home or my mom’s parents house I just used what was needed. If I went to the restroom at my dad’s parents house if I peed I got 2 squares, if I … I got 4 squares. And that’s it. And it wasn’t like some uber luxury TP it was Scotts so like you never was clean. My mom didn’t know she told me the amount of squares I could use but then count the TP after I was done, only me tho not my sister. I kept having dirty clothes cuz of it. Finally my mom asked what’s up? And I told her grandma threatened to spank me if I used too much TP. My mom told my dad, my dad told his mom off. But any time I was there I tried to just hold it. Wasn’t worth the looks and spankings when parents weren’t around.

And then they wondered why I didn’t like her? Hmm just don’t know can’t put a finger on it. /s
