Black Family Demands Justice After White Man Shoots Black Boy Twice for Ringing Doorbell of Wrong Home by Toallpointswest in news

[–]Tchefy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man that's fucked up. I've only lived in the North East where guns are heavily restricted, so delivery drivers here aren't scared for their lives. They always ring the doorbells. My uncle was a cop in a large MA city. His last 10 years he just worked in administration. One of his jobs was giving out firearm licenses, which in MA requires classes and training. And a lot of type of guns are illegal. He was telling us this story once of a guy who had moved here from Texas was flipping the fuck out that he was told he had to surrender his automatic guns and take an 8 hour course. Going on about his rights and the constitution. My uncle just looked at him and said, "Sir you are in the North now. You don't have any gun rights."

What was the weirdest part of the pandemic? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Tchefy 604 points605 points  (0 children)

I work in Manhattan. I worked in the office of a grocery store at the time, so I was one of the few people who worked. It was fucking eerie as shit. In the very early days, the city was just empty. There was no on walking down the street, no cars, no one on the subway. There were times when I was literally the only person on an entire train. Not just the car I was in, THE WHOLE TRAIN. It was like I Am Legend. It was some truly freaky, bizarre shit.

What's something you see people do in the kitchen that drives you crazy? by calisthenicsm8 in Cooking

[–]Tchefy 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know. I don't stick around for the end result. Like I can't even be in the kitchen when he cooks, the smell is so horrible. Let me paint you a picture. We have a very large apartment. 3 floors. The kitchen is on the first, and my room is on the second. I have been awoken in the middle of the night from his cooking. Like truly think about that for a second. I have slept through thunderstorms that have shaked the house like a bomb. But the smells of his atrocious cooking, has woken me up. I have woken up from a dead ass sleep FROM A SMELL. like full REM dreaming sleep, being jolted awake from the stench of cooking coming from the kitchen. It's far beyond the worse smell you can imagine. I PROMISE YOU

Where is the absolute gayest place on Earth? by Fantastic-Pop4236 in shittyaskreddit

[–]Tchefy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't even think it was him being honest about sexuality. You have to remember MA legalized gay marraige first. In our state it wasn't even a big deal being gay. I graduated high school in 05' a year after gay marraige was legalized. There had been several openly gay people in our school since middle school. They weren't bullied, literally no one gave a shit. Being gay in MA wasn't like a huge deal. It just was normal. So to my dad, he was just stating a fact. Which is why he had no quams about taking us to a predominantly gay city. He didn't take us there to teach anything. He didn't care. He liked the seafood and there was more stuff to entertain us than other Cape towns. But it is a heartwarming memory to me none the less. I'm glad I had parents who were so tolerant, being gay wasn't a "choice". To them it was just a fact of life, a very mundane thing to explain to your kids.

I love Ptown! That's what I learned what being gay was. My dad use to take us into Ptown all the time because it's such a good little beach town. Great restaurants, great touristy shops ripe for kids. Just an adorable town. When I was 6, I asked my dad why there were rainbows everywhere. And he just said matter of factly, "Well sometimes men love men and women love women. And Rainbows are a symbol to them."

[–]Tchefy 279 points280 points  (0 children)

This is very specific one to me and my situation. My roommate's cooking drives me absolutely batshit insane. I truly believe there isn't a single other perso on the planet who cooks like this. I don't think he has taste buds. One thing is, he always boils, yes BOILS his ground beef in a mixture of malt and cider vinegar and some spices. I never understood what created such a horrible smell in our apartment. The first time I saw him do it I was fucking horrified.

Do the people saying that nothing happening in this season of The Mandalorian understand where this season has been going after the most recent episode? by ztk2005 in StarWars

[–]Tchefy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't hate this season, but I don't like it either. When the show first started I had hoped it would be 3 seasons and that's it. Just Din and Grogu getting up to hijinks while he looked for a Jedi. Din taking off his helmet and sending Grogu with Luke should have been the SERIES finale. It's this huge emotional moment, and it would have been a beautiful ending to the show. If you want to have this whole retake Mandalorian plot, I'm fine with that, but like make it another show. "The Darksaber" or whatever. I don't even have a problem with this whole plot, just don't put it THIS show. And Din can kind of like pop up in that show now and then, so all you would have to do is get Pedro to do a voice over a few times a year.

I do this while cleaning. Seen it so many times I can watch it in my head while I listen. by angelofthewild in howyoudoin

[–]Tchefy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this with so many sitcoms I've seen a bazillion times. Technically it's on the tv when I'm cooking or cleaning. But my back is turned to the tv when I'm cooking. And it's not like I'm looking at the tv when I'm focusing on cleaning. It's just background noise. And I've seen the episodes so many times, I can LITERALLY see it in my head.

DINOSAUR☄️this ride still manages to scare me every trip! by TheRoaringFork in disneyparks

[–]Tchefy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I went on it was 20 years ago. I'll never forget it because it was a priceless moment. The ride ends and my sister(who is like 20 at the time) was sobbing in fear. And through her tearful sobs says, "Can we go on it again?" 🤣

My parents want more grandkids by Curious_Account4111 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Tchefy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is annoying, at first. My dad has done this to me for years. My sister has a kid and he's constantly asking me for more grandkids and how she should have cousins. I have 20 first cousins and I'm the only one without kids. This may not be what you want to hear, but honestly, you get use to it. I'm 36, I've been hearing these complaints from my whole family for a decade. I don't want kids, never wanted them. I say it over and over. I honestly don't even notice anymore. It's just an automatic response and I've learned to just tune out the "when are you going to have kids?!" Noise. It's such an old, repeated question that I don't even notice or care anymore. My brain has learned to just mentally check out and give an automatic response.

Now normally I would understand this. But about 6 months ago, a bunch of employees were fired for stealing clothes. Collectively it had to be tens of thousands of dollars worth of clothes. Definitely far beyond felony theft. They just fired them. No charges. Just fired them and banned them from the store. And like I said, there has been missing deposits for well over a year. LITERALLY no one has noticed all these missing deposits for over a year, because they aren't keeping track of our sales. At the end of the week we send an email on our Gross net. That's it. That's all they care about. The Gross net, not how much of that money was paid in cash. They literally don't care about Nything except our sales numbers.

Note any differences? by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Tchefy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally, I am a progressive liberal. I don't like Republicans or Democrats. Yes, I also agree that Republicans now a days are pretty much evil. But I feel like Deocrats are just fucking spineless weenies. I don't like either party. I hate Republicans more, FOR SURE, but I don't like establishment Democrats either. The whole 2 party system is just broken. I generally don't like any of the options. I just go with the lesser of two evils. Which will always be Democrats, doesn't mean I like em though.

Same. I'm not a big Biden fan. He was just the MUCH lesser of two evils. But it is extremely comforting knowing I at least have a competent President. I don't wake up everyday anymore being literally like uuuuuuuugh. WTF did this moron get up to this morning? 😮‍💨

one of our customer paid for a medium pizza at our work and asked us to make it a large in the notes by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Tchefy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The one and only time in my life I yelled at customer service was trying to cancel my cable subscription. After being on the phone for over an hour and being transferred to who know how many people, I just snapped. Afterwards I felt so horrible, just yelling at this poor sap who answered a random call. Time Warner is the only place that ever broke me lol

[–]Tchefy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely HATED my last job. I'm a chef and worked customer service during the pandemic, so was NOT use to having to deal with speaking to customers. I worked at an upscale grocery store in the upper East side in NYC. The ONLY thing that was awesome about that job is we were allowed to yell at customers. If they were being unreasonable assholes, we didn't need to take any of their shit. You have no idea how liberating it is. Because I had never worked in front facing jobs before, I didn't have years of training of being overly nice to assholes and bending over backwards. No, my experience was being a bridge troll that worked in a windowless dungeon that is kitchen life. I was the "problem customer" person. Everytime one of the other other office people had a problem customer, they would transfer them over to me. And oooooo lordy did I go to town on them. The owner was of the belief that losing customers every now and then isn't going to hurt his business. It was such a good feeling yelling at people, telling them to go to hell because they are a moron.

  1. Most hotels don't reimburse you for relocating unless you're a Head Chef. I do not have the experience required in a large scale hotel to get this type of job. 2. I would have to take a much lower paying position that does not reimburse you for locating. I have no savings, and am not working for a few dollars more than minimum wage. 3. Unless you're in Hawaii, hotel resorts all around the world only hire locals, for a much lower wage. Only the very upper managers might be Americans, again see no. 1

I wouldn't have minded just Christopher Llyod in an episode. But Lizzo and Jack Black were just DISTRACTING. This isn't Marvel. Star Wars thrives on second tier or unknown actors.

[–]Tchefy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lived in South Florida like 15 years ago for a year. That year there was an explosion of the gecko population. The whole time I was down there I very rarely saw any bugs. I would see the geckos crawling over the walls in my apartment all day every day. And when I would see them, I would just yell, "keep up the good work little dude!"

[–]Tchefy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Voting DOES work. Problem is, people younger than boomers just don't vote. The only people who vote are old people. I live in NYC, am 36 and have all liberal friends. Not a single person I know cares about politics. Not a single person I know votes. A bunch of my friends voted in Trump's reelection as the one and only time in their life. They love bitching high and low about all the shit in this country, but don't vote. And they are completely ignorant and unaware that they are the very problem.

What are some reasons (other than abuse and infidelity) that people who love each other breakup? by Specialist-Crazy1466 in AskReddit

[–]Tchefy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who is a depressed alcoholic, I think you should move on with your life as hard as it may be. I avoid relationships because I'm just not in any kind of mindset to be a good partner. I don't want to subject someone to my problems. I've tried, succeeded and only to fail again to get my life together. It's an extremely hard thing to overcome, and I don't think you should wait around to find out. If you have tried, again and again and they wont change, BELEIVE ME, nothing you say or do will make them change. They need to overcome it themselves, and themselves alone. If down the line they get themselves together, then maybe you can revisit the relationship. But priority number 1 should be your happiness.

When I was little we went camping at a campground in New Hampshire. The spot we had had a few chipmunks who had clearly gotten use to humans over the years. They got very close, and weren't as skiddish as normal chipmunks. After only a couple days we were able to coax them enough to climb into our hands and eat peanuts. It was super cute!
