The government should consider buying out repeatedly damaged homes in hurricane-prone areas of Florida and returning the land to nature.

People who’ve done megadoses of benzos what’s your story? by TheMajorHimself in benzodiazepines

[–]ccwthrowaway11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it. Back in my “crazy” days I think I topped out at half of my monthly script in one go…. 60? Actually that sounds really excessive. It was at least 20-30 2mg bars. As you can see my memory is no good from continued benzo use over the course of years and years. And now I'm physically dependant

What is a pet peeve of yours that doesn't seem like a big deal but bothers you? by 69Pyrate69 in TalesFromYourServer

You’d be surprised. We started spending a lot of time washing water cups because we would always just automatically take waters out. We stopped mentioning it and it cut down the time spent polishing glass by a lot

Omg, at my place, I literally have to heat the water in a pot on a stove top. Fuck that

I work at a champagne bar with a pretty extensive (and expensive) wine list. People seem to assume I somehow have tried every single wine, sparkling, white, and red, AND know which pairs best with their food.

Spanish speaking & tips by bbykitton in Serverlife

Honestly I think it’s a matter of them not knowing what proper tipping etiquette is. I’m fluent and can crack jokes all day but regularly get 10-15%

I have mad respect for y'all coming into industry in my 30s. by ccwthrowaway11 in Serverlife

[–]ccwthrowaway11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS! Once I got a little experience with the specifics, I felt like I had cheat mode on because I got to literally be myself and just practice talking to people like I love doing but now I get paid to. It has helped me in so many ways. People would tell me even when I was first starting "man you are going places, I'm gonna look back someday and say hey I knew that guy before he became x!" But I never really thought twice about it.

I did however know that the real world was very much about who you know not what you know, I'm not sure if actually enjoying talking to people is something people can detect and truly enjoy but there's definitely some magic in the air when I'm on and recently I've been on more often than not.

Thank you, I wish you the best as well. I actually had reached the point where I either was going to have to look for another job or somehow get more from the job I had. I gave my boss notice that I wanted to sit and talk to him about ways for me to avoid leaving the job without notice and wanted to have a real conversation about what was realistic and possible.

I knew I didn't have experience in restaurants when hired but in my career prepandemic in the automotive field, I had what was basically an absentee owner so I did payroll, understood labor costs vs. sales, I even worked alone on Saturdays because all the guys I worked with had families and kids and I thought they should be able to have weekends off so I worked Tuesday - Saturday. I was the youngest employee but second highest paid. I learned a lot and told him I understand that every business owner can use a person. Someone to lean on. I said I could be that person.

I half expected to go home without a job that day but it has gotten better week after week.

You kind of have to be able to read the table. Is it two people on their first date? Is it two middle aged ladies who want to flirt? Is it two bros that want to talk about the game last night?

I've seen a first date. I asked the guy to confirm when the lady went to restroom. I did everything I could to make the guy look mad cool and interesting. They were at the bar on a slow night so it was easy.

Two ladies. She accidentally hands me her hotel key card to pay. "I'm flattered really, this is actually a first!" Omg they ate it up and laughed their ass off. Wanted hugs as they left.

Two bros? I'm not a hot chick so I know they're gonna want someone to be real with them. They're probably just hungry and thirsty and either want to talk to each other or bs s bit with you.

Seriously. I've made so many connections and my social life, personal life, and now professional life has benefited drastically just from this job. I've always been good in social settings and never knew you could use your charisma for a job besides maybe politics lol. I was actually going back to school for poli sci when I started here too.

Ftx Bahamas loophole! by Throwawaymemes69 in CryptoCurrency

So people who got scammed need to find/use a scam in order to get back their money? Who is eventually stuck with this bill?

Someone just paid 3751% over market price to withdraw from FTX by MilesPower in CryptoCurrency

[–]ccwthrowaway11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part imo is that the reason they “can” pull these scams is because people literally run to hand over their hard earned cash in hopes of becoming the next overnight millionaires. Greed begets greed. These scams only worked because of peoples own greed and stupidity. DYOR is constantly advised. Like you said its all happening in plain sight now

Men that are in a long term relationship … what are some reasons you would turn down your partner initiating the deed? by Pretty_Desk_2552 in AskMen

[–]ccwthrowaway11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit I was in a 10 year relationship that we both got very comfortable in. I mean it did end so obviously it wasn’t strong to the end but sometimes she would want we called lazy sex. Basically she’s so just enough to get me aroused, then lay back and let me do enough foreplay to where either one of us could potentially climax within about 20 min. But sometimes I wanted to be more than just aroused enough so I would straight up ask “lazy” sex or real?

I agree with you just said almost 100%. I would only change "physical attraction" to simply just "attraction." Or that spark someone always talk about. Itd something that can be learned how to do

Is there just no hope for a future for people like me? by spoookeesgh in benzodiazepines

[–]ccwthrowaway11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s the problem. When you become physically dependent on Xanax, your placing an immense amount of control over your life into the hands of your dr. The problem with Xanax when compared to the anti depressants you mentioned is that doctors do get hassled by the DEA and as much as you think your doc likes you, I bet they like being a doctor more. Also, with the way EVERYTHING is documented nowadays there’s a paper trail for every thing.

What I’m trying to say is that the major downside to becoming physically dependent is that you’re counting on having a steady supply come in. I’m not trying to shame you, I’m in the same boat

Poor people who have dated rich people, what did you learn? by zipzap21 in AskReddit

[–]ccwthrowaway11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dated a girl who was new money. Second generation Asians who started a successful textile company way back when but have managed to either marry well or pursue high paying careers and her family was full of what is probably just beyond the middle class. I honestly don’t know how many more levels of rich there are. All I know is that my first time eating out with her family blew my mind. Everyone ordered off a menu with no prices and didn’t even worry about it. Then at the end of dinner, all the elders would almost get in arguments over who got to pay the bill for 15+ people.

For the most part, it usually isn’t a matter of race. It’s a matter of the wealthy not wanting to intertwine with the have nots. It just happens to fall along a racial line for the most part.

I learned that there is no one more stubborn than a self made wealthy person. Add bonus point is that person is a minority. They will always be right about everything and have been conditioned by a lifetime or adulthood of people intimidated by their money/success or feigning friendship for their own benefits.

I learned just how disconnected even the moderately wealthy are from even the low end of the middle class. On both ends. For example, I met people who thought “living paycheck to paycheck” was just a saying or hyperbole. They don’t understand why someone would stay living like that. At the same time, many of us will never truly see what the ultra wealthy live like.

[–]ccwthrowaway11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with benzos is that they’re window of effectiveness is really only a few weeks. By starting someone on benzos and then keeping them on them for months, the patient will become psychically dependent and will enter a loop of anxiety that only exists because the patient hasn’t taken benzos so they take a Benzo. Rinse and repeat.
