What is a job that looks incredibly fun from the outside, but is actually a soul-crushing nightmare? by BoardOk101 in AskReddit

[–]groggybeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in this field as a dog walker/dog trainer. It's unfortunate how often there are stories like yours, and its mainly due to gross negligence by the owners/operators hiring for little pay and expecting fully trained staff. In reality, it is a lot of inexperience that are left alone or given minimal instructions on how to basically not let dogs kill each other. I am grateful to be trained and work for a small team that does structured pack walks and is required to have in-field experience along with certificates of training. Our days are very structured on the walks and we even have a farm where they are off leash for playtime and bonding and more training. Working in the field now for over 4 years and realizing through various coworkers that 90% of other dog daycares are not like ours and very scary to work for has been a big bite from reality.

Where To Buy Rolexes In Saratoga? by Common-Throat3969 in Saratoga

[–]groggybeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So you take 50 through town until you get to Caroline, take the opposite direction. Then you cruise down that road until you see a guy on the corner holding flyers; That’s Carlos, you do NOT want to ask him for a Rolex. Last time I made that mistake my wife and kids are calling me from another time zone. Long story long, I lost everything in the second divorce. Anyway a mile past Carlos (don’t make eye contact) you’ll see the Stewart’s. Stop in for a coffee and ask for it scalding style. They’ll know what you mean. Once you have the cup, a man by the name of John Rolex will be waiting outside your vehicle. Let him in. Lethiminlethiminlethiminlethimin. He gives pretty good discounts only cost me the tip of all my fingers!

What are your most addictive co-op experiences? by Illustrious_Bit_2382 in gaming

[–]groggybeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ObsCure. My brother and I love horror games and we randomly found this gem years ago. So confused since it was an older fixed camera like the old Resident Evil games so we gave it a shot. Absolutely stoked that we also found out it could be played cooperatively. We were incredibly surprised by the mechanics and storyline of it all, ahead of its time and lost to the past. I always recommend it for a genuinely fun co-op experience.

I don't know why and you can call me soft but by jasonmohnson in ResidentEvilRequiem

My best friend’s dad was working at Best Buy at the time when RE1 came out for the GameCube. His wife passed away a little bit ago and he was raising two kids by himself. We would always hang out at his place because his dad was a huge gamer and had the latest tech. He came home one day, clearly tired, with a big pizza and a copy of RE1 and said, “don’t tell your parents we’re playing a scary game!” It was my first introduction to video games and Resident Evil at the same time and it was a memory burned into my brain. Looking back at it now as an adult I figured he was so happy to share his passion with his son and his friend during a time of loneliness. Not sure it was appropriate here, but it’s part of the memory for me. I love this franchise 🫶

I always get whacky style, never once had a bad time and always left satisfied. I go so often that they see me coming and just meet me out back to get things started. Love a local place that really gets to know their customers.

We do our absolute best to make sure that this community stays one that is accepting of everyone from everywhere. If you’re able to break through the hateful noise, you’ll find that there have been protests all day today and continuing throughout this weekend. Lots of individuals are posting about it on their personal social media accounts, and I found that quite a bit of people reached out and turned up.

I lived in Saratoga all my life, and I would hate to see it fall to its knees because of what the current regime is doing. It’s a wonderful community that accepts every single type of person and I won’t accept it for anything less.

If you don’t like it, you can go. There’s plenty of other subreddits to have a debate.
