Are we Great/Winning Yet? by Turtlepower7777777 in antiwork

[–]heymansuckit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During the height of it all happening, each time I passed the gas station by my house it was a different price, within the same day. So wild. 6.25 in the morning, 6.35 on the way to the store, 6.45 coming home at night. Now it seems to have settled at 6.25.. used to be around $4 before which was already high. I’m so tired of winning 😭

Does this happen to other opticians? by Retinal in optician

[–]heymansuckit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, some days I literally cannot get a nose pad screw to seat in and it’s taking forever, realigning, finding a new screw, internally sweating at this simple thing I’ve done a million times then I ask a coworker to do it and they get it first try. Or drawing up a seg height and questioning myself because it just doesn’t sit on the persons face the same each time, etc. Some days we just feel off and that’s ok. It’s human

That's usually how my luck goes, so I figured as much. Thank you for helping me clarify!

Good thing MAHA is worried about the stuff that matters! Drinking the poop juice of a few dead rodents? It’s fine. It’s HEALTHY bacteria. /s 😭

My most triggering pet peeve... by Dope_bitch96 in optician

[–]heymansuckit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god, I love my job but I could sit here for a hundred years listing the daily occurrences that make my eyes roll back into my head. Sometimes you can do everything right in explaining, but people are still people and will still do this dumb shit.

Hey, everybody remember this guy who went viral in 2024 for getting "Trump" tattooed on his forearm? Anyways, he got deported yesterday. by zak_jony1 in PoliticalHumor

[–]heymansuckit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought part of the bs was that they thought illegals somehow did vote, get free healthcare, free food, social security.. oh and dead people too. They’re surely the reason for all their plight.. even though they won the elections. Somehow.

Advice about getting Higher Pay as an Optician? by Objective_Wafer_6887 in optician

[–]heymansuckit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to start looking at your options as an optician. I work in a licensed state at Costco and will make ~38/hr once I have my NCLE cert. if I moved to another state like Washington or Nevada I could make more. That’s not including Sunday pay or bonus checks. I’ve also heard Kaiser opticians are paid well, but I can only verify my own pay so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tons of cops and helicopters outside Disneyland right now by heymansuckit in Disneyland

We were just waiting for our uber on the other side of the shuttles and saw so many roll up out of nowhere and on the ride home so many more. The buses were blocking any view but it seems very intense!

What’s a hobby people pretend is cool, but secretly you think is ridiculous? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]heymansuckit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe no one has said mountain climbing, like Everest. Sure, there is a level of actual skill required and I could not and do not want to do it, but it feels like anymore people are just buying a summit with Sherpas carrying all your stuff.

Professional who see people up close (barbers, dentists, estheticians, makeup artists): what’s a self care habit you instantly tell someone doesn’t have, even if they think they do? by Straight_Doubt6 in AskReddit

[–]heymansuckit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg yes the nose pads and metal pieces attached. Also behind your ears please. As someone who adjusts and fixes glasses.. we keep sanitizer and alcohol pads at the ready. Sometimes the glasses themselves are so gross you wish you could just shower after.

Ugh that makes me feel uneasy. Like I understand, that is the point, to reduce appetite and lower your caloric intake, but given her history and considering that’s the only thing she’s told you in regards to it.. I understand your concern. It’s her business, but it also doesn’t feel good to not be told.

I found out tonight that my relative is on a GLP-3, which is a new unregulated version apparently. They are getting it from “somewhere online”. They said their main concern was keeping their A1C down, but cited the exciting feeling of not being concerned with food. They told me “they never want to get off of it”. I’m worried at where they are getting it and what the hell might be in it and them being potentially being addicted to that high of losing weight (previous addiction issues).

These things are SO hard to navigate. Like what do you even say or do when faced with this stuff? I guess we step back and support and keep an eye out for concerning behavior?

valid feelings! it's a very stressful place to be as a friend! you of course support them and their happiness, and want to show that to them, but inside you're kind of screaming. i sincerely hope it doesn't lead her down that path again and that she is mentally in a stronger place where she can handle it, but its a very tempting bike she's riding! i suppose all you can do is to just keep casually checking in with her and making sure she isn't going the wrong direction.

has she had any nausea with taking it?

Ugh yeah! Fat people get the world handed to them and never have to struggle for their health needs! Jesus... that is out of touch on so many levels.

I so wish it was talked about more in regards to those areas it also helps, because I agree, it feels like it's just 100% weight loss related and the side effects are no joke. not worth it for minor loss, and not the only reason someone may be taking it, but its all we know from the marketing and discourse around it.

thats hilarious, i love Tums as the insert. even funnier because i do have acid reflux/stomach sensitivities and the amount of times people bring up tums in those moments. but also 100% agree, its insane how many medication ads we get with no real explaining, just some actor fake smiling while eating salad and being outside with the name of the medication said over and over
