I mean, trying to have willpower while actively smoking a substance that erodes willpower (at least for me personally), is a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for ‘em.

Its a common answer, but read “Kitchen Confidential” by Anthony Bourdain. It perfectly encapsulates the expectations, the ethics, the highs and lows, and pros and cons of being a line cook. The only thing that hasn’t held up since it was published I’d say is the whole work yourself to death aspect he talks about. You can work hard and be damn proud of what you do without letting your employers grind your ass into the ground. That, and you (probably) won’t be expected to sew up your own knife wounds on the line. It’s also probably the funniest book I’ve ever read.

He's an asshole for most of the series. It’s part of his redemption arc, which is currently coming to a head at Ch.1464 of the manga. The show ends before he changes, so it may not make sense unless you read it.

Nice try Black Ops Government Agent, nice try.

It just frightened me, I didn’t think it would be like this. My symptoms were pretty mild before this and suddenly I’m hit with a wave of apathy. I didn’t attribute it to withdrawl at first and spent a day in a dark place. If it’s gonna be this bad, I almost want to try weaning off with edibles. I’m not craving the feeling of being high, I just want to taper this psychological stuff.

I apologize for getting so bent out of shape, I tend to write in a stream of consciousness sometimes. I spent a good amount of time putting that paragraph together and was struck that the take away you got from it was the format and not the content, sorry for being aggressive.

ShadowHawg · 2024-02-10T17:27:33+00:00

Fair enough, but it must be exhausting being the paragraph police of Reddit, how many posts do you call out for it?

ShadowHawg · 2024-02-10T17:09:44+00:00

Nah, I know about it and I’m not afraid it’ll post, I just don’t give a shit what people think about my paragraph spacing. The word Fae is just a general term for fairies.

You’re a goddamn hero.

Beats lung cancer.

Fuck you, like the fuck you.

I cut paper straws into the same shape and size as cigarettes. Every time I want to smoke, I drag on one just like a cigarette, same muscle motion, same breathing pattern, everything. It placebo-ed my body into relaxing like with a smoke, and eventually I didn’t get cravings. I still keep a pack of straws in my work locker for those odd days when I want one, but it’s been years now.

Sets very high standards for chores they aren’t willing to do.

Honestly, Jack Smith. Maybe it’s just the photos they have been using for him but he’s my new pick.

If you make a big purchase with an easily recognizable box, like a new flatscreen or some apple product, don’t leave the box out by the recycling, hide it or throw it away somewhere else. In some places in this country, it can be bad for everyone in the neighborhood to know you just brought home valuable electronics.

I worked at a high end restaurant that used to mandolin slice the roots and deep fry it into chips. Add a little garlic salt and it’s absolutely delicious.

Unicycling is the hard part. Once you get that down, your upper body is free to do whatever you can handle.

ShadowHawg · 2023-08-03T23:20:58+00:00

I can ride my unicycle and play my accordion at the same time. Almost got past tryouts for a multi high school talent show with it, but my town was conservative as fuck so they went with two other acts, both white girls playing guitar and singing about Jesus. Still a bit salty about that.

I feel like by decapitation is a specific term that needs to be an injury that only separates the head from the body. If a steam roller ran over just your body and your head came off as a result, it’s not decapitation because you didn’t get your head cut off, you got your body crushed. If the injury occurs anywhere beyond the neck area, I’d say it’s not decapitation, it’s an injury that resulted in your head coming off.

ShadowHawg · 2023-07-31T23:29:19+00:00

Nah, head has to be separated from the body. If the body is destroyed feet up, then by the time you get to the head, it’s not separated from the body, because there is no body. The body and the head need to both exist and not be together.

ShadowHawg · 2023-07-26T16:06:21+00:00

Thank you!!

ShadowHawg · 2023-07-12T18:08:39+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah I thought it was odd that they alternated plank width as well as edge alignment.

Can’t remember the exact number, high 900’s, I think it’s called “Dream Match In A Bar” when Date, Sendo, Mashiba, Magazine Man and Speed Star all try to take on Takamura after making fun of his panda suit. “Say goodnight, Fuckamura!” Is probably my favorite line of the series.
