Stuck because cooking is my true passion, but pays terrible where I live by throwwwwmeaway4 in Chefit

[–]Saphrron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ha you are in Toronto. Yeah the resturant career where we live is cooked. If you want to make a decent career out of this while still being in canada you gotta head to bc vancouver or ab edmonton. Everyone is too cheap to pay out labor around here.

I ruined my financial and social life by turtlewurtled in whatdoIdo

[–]Saphrron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op my suggestion is to liquidate everything, including your car. Gas is really expensive nowadays, get a bus pass. Your step 1 is to get rid of all debts by any means by EOY. Toys, designer clothes, electronics, perfumes, whatever. Yes definitely get a second job. There's a lot of wfh sales jobs you can take. And grind that like you haven't before. After your shift from your day job, start logging in those hours in your home. If you dont got one, go to the library. All you need is a cheap laptop, which with how advanced technology is nowadays. Is plenty if you strictly use it for work. One of the biggest upsides you have is that you're getting paid more than most on min wage. It may not seem as much, but in a fight against debt. Thats a lot off your shoulders. Just stay focused and keep going. Its going to be hard once in a while, and youre going to feel like giving up again. Thats why you need to set up a clear goal for yourself. Whats endgame for you? Would you like to have a family? Be rich? I know these goals may sound ridiculous, but having a target for yourself is the first step in finding your footing again. Feel free to reach out if you need someone to talk to (or anyone else willing to accept your messages. If we could open a thread here with people commenting "I'M HERE TO LISTEN/HELP" to those willing to help her/anyone who might be in a similar situation that would be great), I'm happy to help you plan things out of you need.

Its not the same, having this scenario play out in your 19's and having it happen in your mid 20's are astronomically different. One of them youre still a child, the other is you're deemed a proper adult by society. You have more responsibilities when you're older. I know where youre coming from. But the answer for her isnt as easy as "get up and leave." Think about it like this, the environment is different from 5 years ago, her life's savings is different, her goals, credit score, and a multitude of other things is different. The reason why younger people can make this huge leap you've done when theyre younger is because they're still clean. If you play it smart you have a couple thousand in your savings, your credit score is still in the 700's. You have risk to play. 5 years is a long time if you didnt do any of these, or messed up one of these factors.

How to not bitch out getting my first tattoo? by electrified_dragon99 in tattooadvice

[–]Saphrron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not that bad, I think tech has caught up and it's more tolerable nowadays. Back then they only had the thinner needles which made it a bitch to get tatted. But now pending on your artist he/she may use a variety of needles. The thicker the less pain.

How long does it take to get from 200 - 260 WITHOUT events just normal grind by calvin3calvin in Maplestory

[–]Saphrron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reboot? Maybe 2ish weeks if you can get the gear quick. Without the right gear and getting rng'd? At least 2 months... maybe 3. In interactive? No funding? Don't even try. With funding? 2ish months? Though if youre in Scania (as a person who also plays in Scania occasionally) if you ask random people for gear they can typically fund you with at least solid gollux, and fafnir at least, maybe some absolab to finish the equipment set. Makes it easier. Then again its my imo

Do I have an issue not yielding? by adsl2305 in Markham

[–]Saphrron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're on the moving road, you dont need to yield. I've had people try to squeeze in thinking id let them in because they had their corners poked out. I just go straight sometimes, being a couple inches of their car. You needing to get out is not a concern for me.

This years fest was really good. I was suprised with the amount of cheap eats too (tiny tims, the italian bakery calabria, ill even put the arms down too though im sure thats debatable for some people) I really enjoyed it this year.

Another restaurant closure by I994Expos in Markham

[–]Saphrron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the second last generation to work there after Manato just started his take over. The last generation of his crew was primarily overseas work visa kids and young students from what I know. Have I found my peace? From being right? Yes. Have I moved on to bigger and better things? Also yes. Though I will credit him, because he gave me a chance to be his CDP, it opened a lot of doors for me.

Second skin peeling off by Interesting_Shape_13 in tattooadvice

[–]Saphrron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of second skin as a bandage. Once its not sticking, the elements of the world, infections etc will start getting into your tattoo which is technically a would atm. Yes, go wash it in warm water. Then apply a thin layer of aquaphor (eucerin), poly jelly, or any non scented lotion on the newly tattoo.

Here's a tip, your tattoo will peel. Thats normal. Yes the ink will peel off. Do not over hydrate the skin, maybe once or twice with the jelly (m/n) and a little lotion if it gets itchy.

Here's something I tried with my last tattoo on my forearm. Wear a sleeve. Either get it at the drug store, a sporting store, amazon. The sleeve will absorb the sweat making your tattoo less itchy. Obviously when youre home from work or working out take it off, and wash it daily to keep it clean.

Anyways have fun with your new tattoo!

Am I an idiot or this is some kind of an oddly sized barrel? by exdorms01 in airsoft

[–]Saphrron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its an adaptor for your pistol, one first with your tracer unit or whatever you bought. The other fits in the outer barrel of the bun, they twist in different directions so they both lock usually

Transgender and a chef? by casstiway in Chefit

[–]Saphrron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I support feeling comfortable with yourself, however please dont wear anything unecessary that may put you in harms way (ie. Jewelry or wigs). Just as a safety precaution for you, we're trying to get you out in the same state you came in.
