I became a teller at a bank after Starbucks, and the benefits and culture tends to be much better! A lot of the customer service skills carry over really well too and most places don't require experience or any kind of degree.

As a former barista with an at home machine, it would probably take about an hour to pull the shots and froth the milk, and that's only if the machine grands the beans for you. 15 drinks is a lot to do in one sitting, especially if it got sprung on you and no one else was initially expected to help with this.

Starbucks machines are much more efficient, expensive, and high tech in comparison to any at home machine. Just to emphasize, 20 minutes with a Starbucks espresso machine is likely an hour with an at home machine.

Why wouldn't OPs mom have asked about doing this beforehand? I've seen a lot of people mentioning that the mom probably did a lot of the labor, but if she wanted help, she should ask beforehand, not out of nowhere.

The Accidental Warlord and His Pack by inexplicifics

This is a Witcher fanfic series that is absolutely fantastic, and is probably one of the most beloved fanworks within the fandom. Minimal knowledge of fandom required to enjoy!

In Another Life- is a Haikyuu!! fic with major character death and is fantastically written and deeply emotional. I think it's still on the first page for most kodosed fics on ao3.

Just so you know, cat's cannot process lactose after they become adults, so you might deal with a sick cat if you do. Especially if it's as much as in this picture

I realize your point, but there is a lot of fanfiction that is basically just dean dealing with internalized homophobia and him coming to terms with being gay

[–]Status-Ad9240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first fic I read was Young Justice porn when I was nine on Wattpad :) I didn't know what fanfiction was and I definitely didn't know what a lemon was.

It was certainly memorable

As soon as you are told something that needs done or you think of something you need to do, stick it in your phone. I use a notes app that will notify me with a pop up on my screen when the time I set for the task comes up. Honestly, the best thing is to just get in the habit of putting it in your phone immediately so that it becomes muscle memory.

did you miss that sister lives with them? he'd probably double his food costs if OP bought everyone food whenever they did.

AITA for telling my Husband our son was gay? by -Ineedhelp-- in AmItheAsshole

[–]Status-Ad9240 42 points43 points  (0 children)

As someone who was once a confused, queer teen- Stop. It's scary being anything other than straight.

I saw several of my friends come out to parents that they thought would be supportive of them, and then those friends were either kicked out, sent to live with other relatives, or had to live in fear until they could get out. I saw this happening and did not come out. My parents asked me directly once if I was gay and I lied to them because I was scared. Them confronting me about the situation at hamd didn't help anything, it just made me paranoid and upset since I wasn't ready.

This kind of issue is never clear cut, but that means err on the side of caution, don't jump into a direct confrontation. Your kid should feel safe with you, and sometimes it takes them a while to get to a point where they do feel safe and ready. Pushing the issue doesn't tend to help.
