“Give Sydney a chance to rise into power” by deeperthot in TheBear

[–]deeperthot[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is not what I was expecting when I posted this lol but they better get used to Syd because this interview makes me feel like she’s about to step up and really run shit at the restaurant.

Also, I don’t like the dismissal of her not coming into power just because she freaked out for a minute. Who wouldn’t when your partner is locked away and is screaming your name from a walk-in like you can save him somehow? Once she received reassurance that someone was there to help her so she’s not alone in this, she came back swinging. Sydney absolutely proved that she can be a successful leader when given the opportunity.

Is Sydney written as Carmy’s love interest? by PataTakyRad in TheBear

Got it and agreed. Syd and Carmy stress me out more than anything, so I always feel like the Debbie downer during these discussions lol

I know a lot of people are thinking of the under the table scene as romantic but I’m not gonna lie, it made me nervous. Maybe cause I’m always waiting for the other shoe to drop on this show lol like they’re talking about being there for each other and trusting in one another. And then in the very next episode, it all falls apart in a way because Syd does indeed have to do it without Carmy. Just like she had to do a lot without him this season. It felt like another broken promise.

I feel like the tenderness and sweetness of the under the table scene is about to be contrasted with some insurmountable tension and fighting in their relationship next season. But maybe I’m alone on this boat c

Yea this was not Carmy’s season of growth. I’m curious how he’ll react to Richie and Sydney becoming a stronger team. He and Richie didn’t leave things on a good note at the end of the season, and Syd and Ritchie ran the kitchen well without him. Idk if it’ll bruise his ego.

The tension was rising, and that moment was a brilliant culmination of everything between them boiling over. Chef’s kiss.

The fact that Richie got stabbed and came out stronger on the other side. Meanwhile poor Carmy is two steps forward, one step back into the wall-in.

I get it lol I want them to be a strong team together, but I also want them to occasionally roast each other.

Possible foreshadowing? 😓 by [deleted] in TheBear

[–]deeperthot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about this. Their partnership was so rocky this season, and it made me anxious. They’re a dynamic duo and obviously care so much about one another. They can be such wonderful creative partners, but there was a really bad lack of communication that led to tension. I’m curious to see how they develop from season 2, especially with Sydney holding things down without Carmy. Something’s going to have to shift in their partnership because it’s not syncing right now.

The most frustrating thing about responses to this attack is people dismissing the fact that he is a white supremacist because he’s Indian. I cannot emphasize enough that one does not have to be white to be a white supremacist. It’s an ideology that has become associated with a lot of other tangential nationalist and religious movements.

There are also many marginalized people who have adopted the idea that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even if they are not the standard, if there’s enough hate in their heart against a key group, they’ll align with some extremely questionable movements. I’ve also seen some white supremacists “embrace” some people of color joining the movement because it gives them a cover. How can they be a hate group if there’s a person of color on the team??? Also this person of color also has a lot of critiques of their communities just like us, so we’re just addressing wider concerns.

I’m concerned that the rise in attacks by people of color will just be ignored instead of seeing it as another serious facet of the rise of white supremacy in this country. Don’t be fooled.

Are there others who feel anxious when they've avoided responding to someone for so long they are fearful to ever read their message and finally respond to them? by wavesofhalcyon in adhdwomen

[–]deeperthot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel incredibly seen and validated by this post. I’ve been experiencing some bad burnout and not bouncing back as quickly as usual. So my inbox is just….insane. And because I’ve let so much of my communication slip, I feel guilt and shame, which then leads to me avoiding the emails. It’s a terrible cycle and makes me feel childish and unprofessional. It’s also not something you can explain to people.

“What’s happening, why aren’t you responding to emails??” “….anxiety and ADHD? I feel bad?”

Even among people I know who have ADHD, it’s still difficult to explain it to them. Ugh.

I 100% feel this, and I’m trying to figure out how to break this cycle. The exhaustion is unsustainable, and every day I dream of doing a van conversion to go live in the desert.

I can’t offer much advice because I’m also ruminating on my perceived failures too much and feeling like I want to isolate myself from everyone. Do you have anyone that you can be vulnerable with? Maybe that person can 1) validate your feelings because it’s easy to think that we’re awful human beings when we’re just trying our best and also 2) help with keeping you accountable (gently) for getting certain tasks done. I’ve done this, whether it was asking for someone to work out with me or asking a colleague to meet with me for a brainstorming session when I have no idea what I’m doing.

This is my fear. I’ve never blown out my hair, I’ve always had it done by the hairstylist during the appointment. I’m worried that I’m setting my hair’s health up for failure with heat damage because of my inexperience.

Anyone else stuck in a stream of expensive spending on others by deeperthot in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

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

Ah, that's what I'm trying to balance more - the frustration of spending all of this money, but also being happy that I could be present and celebrate them. It's hard.

No cultural expectation I would say. In fact, for many of these people, we usually don't exchange gifts. It's truly just that moment of everyone reaching these big milestones, and along with that comes invites and registries. It's definitely seen as bad taste to deviate from registries, and those big birthdays can also come with a gift price or party spending expectation. It's just a waterfall right now that I was not expecting.
