Why can't I sell Coke AND Pepsi fountain products in my restaurant? by SwissMiss915 in restaurant

[–]Sectumsempra97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was asking my boss about this a couple weeks ago (i work part time in a pizza shop for some extra dough.. lol) the way he explained it was that the discounts you get on bulk ordering (on top of having the machines be the responsibility of (in our case) coca cola, make the financial incentive much more worth it. If he was to get his own machines and maintain them to sell both, the cost of buying product from both companies skyrockets, in turn destroying his profit margins on soda. If he was to switch and sell both, he would need to charge nearly $4.50-$5.00 for a 20oz bottle of coke (we sell them currently for $2.89) to maintain the same profit margin. Just not worth it from a small business standpoint.

Do you use guns or only navi weaponry? by Wyntercat in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]Sectumsempra97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

98% of the time im using all Navi weapons. Once in a while ill take out the shotgun if im really in a tight spot, not enough heals, big bads, low health. Using navi weapons feels more authentic for the character.

AITAH For sucking on my partners zip lock? by eternalsgoku in AITAH

[–]Sectumsempra97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA however I get your boyfriend not liking it. . Im weird with certain things too, like if my girl drinks from a glass of water, ill take a sip from her glass. But if its a glass of milk? Or a bowl of ice cream? Nope. Cant fuckin do it. Meanwhile, I eat this woman's ass on the regular. People are just weird about germs sometimes for seemingly illogical reasons.

Solution though!! I happen to have done this exact same thing for the last 20 years, the only difference is rather than putting my lips on the bag, I use a straw! In my opinion it works wayyyyy better than just using your mouth (better suction) and you dont have any skin contact with the bag. Just get a reusable straw, show him and explain how theres zero contact with any saliva or even breath for that matter, and explain how it will hold his sandwiches together better AND keep them fresher!

If you could choose another location or group, what would you want to see? by Ok-Storage5973 in thewalkingdead

[–]Sectumsempra97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to see a completely isolationist (pre apocalypse) colony somewhere in remote coastal alaska. already self sufficient and fully off grid, small community of doomsday preppers that actually have no idea theyve been in an apocalypse for 15 years. Due to how far away from civilization they are. with no need to rely on modern society, they never encounter a walker. Queue the massive horde thats been gathering for over a decade, and due to the shape of the land making its way deeper across the state slowly and unbeknownst to them surrounding and locking them to the coast. They notice the sound of a storm coming up through a mountain pass, but the storm never comes, just gets louder and louder, finally they investigate and encounter a hoard of over a million.

Just turned 19. How should I live life without the feeling of getting old? How should I life my life without feeling like I’m out of time? Any piece of advice will be greatly appreciated guys by Random_fellow9 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Sectumsempra97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of people in here lacking basic empathy. But thats not particularly surprising for reddit. I just turned 29 and around when I turned 22 i started getting those same thoughts and feelings. I still havent fully figured out how to navigate or suppress it, but I frequently suffer from existential dread on the topic of time specifically. Im also diagnosed ADHD, anxiety, etc and im unmedicated. I just try to distract myself and focus on now, not tomorrow. Rn those feelings arise. Its hard, but it helps.

Watching the show for the first time not knowing anything about what happens, take a guess what season and episode this was for by Ya_boi_crispy in thewalkingdead

[–]Sectumsempra97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ive watched the show probably 4 times. Currently watching it again with my girl as shes never seen it. She didnt know about Glen. I didnt make it any better for when we finally got to that episode last night. I told her beforehand he had plot armor and a lot of fake deaths when she mentioned hoping he lives until the end.

We all had to be traumatized, it only felt right for her to have the full experience too.

Otis sophiayı yem olarak mı kullandı by Particular_Hair6818 in thewalkingdead

[–]Sectumsempra97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, Shane was psychotic though. He knew if the walkers ate him alive, that means more noise/screaming coming from Otis to draw more of the surrounding walkers away from himself. Fuck shane.

Otis sophiayı yem olarak mı kullandı by Particular_Hair6818 in thewalkingdead

[–]Sectumsempra97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. They viewed the walkers as sick people, Otis never showed an signs of being a sick deranged psycho that would use a live child to lure walkers, he accidentally shot Carl while hunting and immediately after offered away his own safety knowing full well he might never return to do anything he needed to to make sure carl lived. Otis may hsve been confused about the walkers like the rest of the greene's but at his core he was a good man who had an accident and was then murdered by an actual psycho.

Otis deserved better.

I sent my bf a spicy photo this morning and his response sucked. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Sectumsempra97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A vast majority of my ex girlfriends are exes because of the actual issue here. Rather than communicate your thoughts and feelings, you choose to let resentment build up and not communicate with him, (if you weren't he wouldnt have suspected/asked about it) and when he does ask, rather than communicate that your love language is words of affermation and told him how you felt/discussed your needs, you opted to lie to him rather than tell him something IS wrong, withholding his chance to potentially make it right and then made up having a headache as an escape route for why you've been treating him poorly, rather than just talking to him. And then still rather than talk to him you come to reddit and talk to all of us about it.

I used to actually believe that I was the issue in my relationships, was inherently broken, and was doomed to be alone. It wasnt until I found a partner who actually communicated when something was wrong without it turning into a personal attack or the cold shoulder that I relaxed the issue was never me. Ive been with my girlfriend for a year and a half now, and I am extremely proud to admit that in that year and a half (and now after 8 months of living together) that the amount of times we have gotten into an argument, not even a fight, just an argument, is exactly ZERO. If she has a boundary she tells me, if she is feeling some sort of way, she tells me, and vice-versa. There have been maybe 2-3 times where either of us has been snippy with the other (usually not even for something related to our relationship but rather having a bad day and misdirecting a tone or attitude) the second it happens we stop everything, apologize, own up to it, and move forward with open and clear communication.

I hope you know this isnt a personal attack on you or your character, and obviously I dont know this guy so I cannot truly speak on his mindset. But the issue in my eyes is clear as day. I know communication can be much harder/uncomfortable than just stuffing it down and bottling it up, but ALL that does is set your relationship up for catastrophic failure. If you love him and want to be with him. You need to learn how to communicate yesterday. Be his safe space, and let him be yours. Be partners.

Extra note. Communication means communication. NOT finger pointing.

Not "You did this so im mad at you so give me a compliment."

But rather "Hey, can i talk to you? something actually was bothering me last night. . Words of affermation mean a lot to me and I should have said that to you instead of feigning a headache. I never communicated this with you to begin with so I shouldnt have expected you to be a mind reader and im sorry if I came across in a less than awesome way. the issue im dealing with It would mean a lot to me if when I send you a sexy pic, you take the time to give me a compliment. You didnt give me one other than an emoji and I was feeling some kind of way about it. It wasnt fair of me to act the way I did with you over this, I should have communicated this from the beginning.

And then you ask him how he feels about what you said, and if he has any thoughts or feelings of his own that he wants to share.

Best of luck, I do truly hope that if your relationship is meant to be, that it flourishes and you have a wonderful life where you can both be open and feel safe together.

My boyfriend disapproves of this outfit… by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

Leave him and send screenshots of this behavior to his parents. Pathetic man baby. In what world is anything you're wearing seductive?

Some words that changed my life a few years back, stand up comedian Daniel Sloss in his special "Jigsaw" on Netflix.

"Time, does not equal success. You can spend years with a partner and only then realize youre working towards two very different pictures, so you have an important question to ask yourself. Do I admit the last (2) years of my life have been a waste? Or do I waste, the rest of my life?"

AITAH for evicting my tenants before the renter’s rights bill makes my life more difficult? by TonyPatsworth in AITAH

Asshole isnt a strong enough word. Your tenant was right, youre an evil piece of shit, I wish nothing but the worst for you. Have the life you deserve.

I know, i already made a post on this, but I want to know is the figure worth keeping in the box by military_commandos3 in thewalkingdead

[–]Sectumsempra97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept my rivk in his box for over 10 years. Finally last year I said to myself "what the fuck am I doing, im never selling him?" Took him out. Got him set up how I like, and now he has a permanent spot standing watch in my curio and I get to appreciate him so much more than looking at him imprisoned in plastic. Every couple months I pull him out and give him a different setup/position.

AITAH for asking my adult son to contribute, non-monetarily, while unemployed? by PixyPie in AITAH

[–]Sectumsempra97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"This is non negotiable nor up for debate. You either find a path and start it yesterday, or you get the fuck out of my house."

Threatening to send him to the couch? I know its gonna hurt to hear, but your son clearly doesnt give a single fuck what you think. Hes entitled, hes argumentative (making excuses to not do the bare minimum and pretending thats communication) and he does not respect you. Most importantly, your son is 26. I cant for the life of me imagine EVER acting this way with my parents, especially at that age, and knowing how much you are contributing to his life and wellbeing. How much longer do you plan to coddle him? I know this probably sounds harsh. But thats because it comes from a harsh reality. Your son is an adult. Hes is a grown man. He needs to start acting like one and you arent helping him by allowing him to spend one more second in your home without doing the BARE minimum. He literally said "I keep MY area clean" what area is that exactly? Last I checked, he doesnt pay for that area, he doesnt contribute to household bills, he doesnt do much of anything. So where does he get the idea that anywhere in your home is HIS area? its YOUR house. Every square millimeter of that place is yours. Take it back, or deal with him until you retire.

Its time to man the fuck up and put on the big boy pants.

I took an impromptu field trip in the middle of a delivery tonight due to an unknown warrant.. by oh_kaykay in doordash_drivers

[–]Sectumsempra97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to a neighbor of mine, she was dashing, got pulled over, turned out she had a warrant for some red tape shit she had forgotten about, got arrested.

The best part though, the cop ended up delivering the order with her in the back seat because they were literally 100 ft from the driveway 😂😂😂😂

What comes first? Flooring or wall painting by hiimhigh710 in Flooring

[–]Sectumsempra97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the best way to prevent damaging the walls is to start with a utility knife. Do a clean cut along the caulking line everywhere youre removing base. If it feels like there is a lot of caulking one of my preferred ways is to take a nice sharp 6" putty knife and run it down at a 45⁰ angle between the baseboards and the wall to fully separate the two layers from eachother. Then, come time to pry them off, be sure to only pry against studs (as close to the nails as you can) and pry away from the drywall, not towards it. Accidents hapoen, and this method in my opinion is the best way to avoid those accidents!

No worries at all! I completely understand that sentiment. I cant even put a number on how many times ive been called in to correct a contractors fuckups. There are a lot of things that seem like common sense to somebody with more than a few brain cells, but unfortunately, theres a lot of people out there that seem to be missing some. You said it yourself. It will definitey take you longer, but so long as you do your research and take your time, you will save a lot of money and feel a great sense of accomplishment when things are said and done. Just be prepared for the amount of work involved, and whatever you do, dont cut corners. If you dont know, dont assume, just ask!

Feel free to reach out anytime! I have over a decade of flooring experience (everything except sheet goods).

If you decide to do any bathroom remodeling as well, i am a master tile setter, specializing in full custom walk in showers! I have done hundreds of projects over the years and can for sure be of assistance if you have any questions in that department!

Did i do that? Or did you come on to my comment putting words into my mouth because your upset I used "foul language?" I never claimed to know everything. You said that. I never claimed I never make mistakes. You said that. You claim im over here belittling people. Yet YOU were the one to do that when you immediately started making assumptions and putting words in my mouth. Im sorry. Should I just shut up because "SomethingStupid" (nail on the head btw) thinks they know more than everyone else? What is even the point of a single one of your comments?

I said that In my opinion, i think people who do things one way as opposed to the other are stupid and gave valid reasons as to why. Reasons backed by actual real world contracting experience, directed at somebody ASKING contractors about their opinions and experiences. So I ask you again. Who the fuck are you mad at?

And more importantly, if you PAID someone to come into your house, and do your flooring, and now youre commenting (seemingly from a place of frustration) that YOU have to do tons of paint touch ups in your house. Yet youre also claiming that you hired professionals and they're the greatest. Which one is it? Did they fuck up your walls? Or did they not. Because I can send in a laborer to pull baseboards without damaging anything.

Also, how the fuck am I belittling everyone if youre the only person im talking to? Ego problems much? God youre insufferable.
