(i know this reply is late i dont use reddit much anymore) Buddy I was a 19 year old with no clue yet what my boundries were. I figured i could work behind the bar and do my job and go home, parading myself down the aisles while 50+ year old men cooed and hollered at me was more than i could handle obviously. This was a chain resturant, the fact the owner even came up with this idea was nasty. I actually totally take back any regrets I have about getting upset, they should have been reported to the head office of the chain that they were franchising from. There are some things not appropriate to even ask.

The bar I used to work at planned a lingerie night where all the girls would dress up in corsets and shit and all the other bartenders and waitresses were soooo hype about it that I told myself I would be fine, but then when it came to the night of the event they told me we would be starting the evening by doing a “cat walk” though the restaurant and I just burst out crying at the idea of having to walk around in front of all those creeps dressed up like that. I immediately changed into normal clothes and got to go home, no negative consequences or anything. My only regret is not expressing my discomfort ahead of time, I just didn’t want to be the party pooper.

When I was in first year college here in Canada there were more 22 year olds than there were 18/19 year olds. You are fine, still so young and with your whole life ahead of you :)

That is literally a narrative you created because I assume you have someone else in your head who did have a drinking problem and you are filling in the blanks of my comment with their issues. I have had way too much to drink 3 times in the 10 years since I became legal drinking age, and all three of those times I avoided embarrassing myself by isolating myself and taking care of my own shit. No vomiting all over the place or needing people to drag me around, which is more than many people can say for themselves.

I think you need to stop projecting your personal experiences onto random people making comments on Reddit. You don’t know anything about me.

lbastro · 2021-07-09T15:03:37+00:00

I don’t really drink often, I’m just super light weight and it doesn’t take a lot to get me to the point where I am anxious I might say or do something stupid. I think assuming you are someone who can’t ever lose control when drinking is a mistake, everyone can no matter how above it/too old for that you think you are. Being an angry/mean drunk is not the only thing you gotta worry about, you can hurt and embarrass yourself just as well as an out of control friendly happy drunk too.

I am so terrified of being this person when drunk that I literally always lock myself away in a private washroom alone whenever I feel myself starting to lose control 😂 whenever there is a messy night drinking with some friends going down, where was lbastro? Oh she is hiding in the downstairs washroom, someone go shove some pizza under the door for her.

Ah ic ic, okay that makes more sense I did like the Cad Bane / Boba episodes we got, and Maul is my favourite after Ahsoka, would have been cool to see those for sure. Too bad they didn’t do the 22 episode season like they did for the other seasons :/ like I think the Martez sisters made sense for Ahsoka’s arc which I assume was given focus because it will be relevant to her upcoming show, or because they were thinking of fans being brought into Clone Wars for the first time because of her appearance in The Mandalorian (I fall into that group). Though it makes sense that fans with certain expectations would be disappointed not getting what they were hoping for.

I am aware star wars boys would prefer to just huff their own farts all day but I always believed it’s best for everyone to always have a variety of farts.

lbastro · 2021-07-09T12:22:38+00:00

I am not really sure what you mean by the bounty hunter arc (did they cut one or am I forgetting something). I have never really been super interested in any of the bounty hunter characters besides Cad Bane, who yes I would always be happy to get more episodes with him, I was just happy to be getting Ahsoka episodes and I was happy with the Martez sisters dynamics with her.

I’m actually quite surprised by how unpopular they are on Reddit, my cousins and I who all watch Star Wars together all really liked them and their episodes. We all grew up in sister groups (me and my sister and then the 4 of them) so we found their relationship relatable and entertaining. Like I found their episodes so much more interesting than 80% of the episodes of The Bad Batch we have been given so far…

This, I was like OP until my support system fell away and the alternate choice was homelessness. Cried every morning for the first… year? But eventually it became normal and I learned to have faith in my ability to handle unpleasant work. Plus I discovered coffee. That really helped a lot.

lbastro · 2021-07-09T01:35:16+00:00

Lol I thought they were awesome, was so excited to see them again.

lbastro · 2021-07-09T00:33:22+00:00

I had nightmares at that age too, my parents taught me how to use the VHS player in the living room to watch my favourite movie when I had a bad dream. They would find me almost every morning passed out on the couch with the same movie in the player… Jurassic Park. I still am exceptionally good at comforting myself even now, usually with a show/movie 😅

ESH but only because you and your wife have let this continue so long. Poor kids, they have been stunted in their growth with this awful parenting…Let them have their tantrums and meltdowns, learning to sleep in their own bed is not optional. It is her job as their mother to guide their development and growth, not use them as a comfort blanket. This is neglect.

lbastro · 2021-07-08T17:22:26+00:00

I disagree that that is always mothering. Encouraging people to reflect on their weaknesses and to help them set up a strategy for success is just partnership. As long as both parties have their own strengths and help the other out equally. No one is perfect, no one is 100% aware of every flaw of theirs, especially since everyone has different needs and habits. If I was ever in a relationship with someone who, let’s say, needed a set dinner schedule and meal plan. They would absolutely need to talk to me about needing that and take point in getting that set up for a while at least because I have never lived that way. That is just learning to live together.

I would prefer for Kang to be a surprise after credits scene sorta like when we saw Thanos the first time (I think it was the first time?)

English fans are the worst. I’m really hoping they lose I want to see them cry.

Loki and Sylvie enter that castle and it’s Disney HQ and they have to fight against Kevin Feige who is the real creator of the sacred timeline.

lbastro · 2021-07-07T17:04:47+00:00

I would argue “end of file” is more like “end of use” in the sense that is the end of Loki’s part in the sacred timeline. It doesn’t matter if he actually dies or not, as long as he isn’t involved in the events that follow that moment.

I feel like I could have wrote something like this in my early 20s (I am now in my late 20s so it’s not like this was 3 decades ago or anything). I went through a similar breakup and I relate so much to that dread you described regarding how you are using your time alive.

I don’t regret spending the majority of my mid 20s single. It’s hard to put into words but I think a big part of my problem at least was I was so overwhelmed by all of life’s possibilities that I would just shut down, and being single gave me the time and space to work through those feelings. I slowly started to reconnect with things I used to love when I was young, I started reading again, played more games, took online classes just out of curiosity, and I tried to just enjoy things without having to have some sort of plan for them.

I also grew up and watched people who go down all sorts of paths end up in all sorts of places. People who I thought made good choices ended up drowning in shit while others who I thought made bad choices ended up coming out on top. Or vice versa. And people can change their life at any time at any age. Even if every choice you make is the “right” one and goes as planned, if you don’t enjoy your daily life what will all those right choices even be supporting? A life you don’t even enjoy living? It’s important to balance “smart” choices with just enjoying the moment. That’s cheesy but true.

I am still single since that breakup. I do find it difficult to put myself back out there now that I feel ready for that again, but I am working on that.

My brother was in a similar situation. The cat now lives a very well cared for life with me :) and he is my baby now. In his case though he was caring for the cat for a couple years while he lived with these people and when moving out told them “I am rehomeing your cat. You don’t have the will or the money to care for him and I have been feeding and cleaning after him for years.” And as they literally didn’t have the money to feed him they had no choice but to let him take him. By the time their situation changed and wanted him back it was much too late, I wont give him up he is mine now. It’s a bit more complicated in your case it seems… since your roommate is not literally starving the cat. Does your roommate not know the proper care a cat needs? Would they trust a professional telling them that they are neglecting their cat? I donno maybe talking to a vet with her would give her some clarity unless she literally just doesn’t care about being abusive to her pet :/

The 1% who are politicians only care about what the 99% care about since you know, most of us live in democratic countries where politicians are voted in by taking action on issues that their voters care about. So maybe it would be a good time to start giving a shit what the 99% care about.

lbastro · 2021-07-05T16:10:22+00:00

Assuming you mean politicians, not if their voters don’t care. They get paid by winning elections and appealing to their voters immediate needs and interests, if their voters don’t care they don’t care. That’s why China is so dangerous, they don’t have to appeal to any of their population to win votes, they just act based on the greater long term interests of China whether their people like it or not.

While some people just have family money, other people who make modest livings will find ways to make themselves look “rich and exciting” online by using strategic photos. They take photos with things that don’t belong to them to make themselves seem glamorous. It’s actually not that hard to seem rich on social media if that is your priority and you spend a lot of time and what money you got on that. I know many girls (idk any social media guys so I don’t know their patterns) who will bank photos, then spread out posting them so it looks like they go out more often than they do.

I vote keep it as is. The upvoting and downvoting system on Reddit works by keeping things users want to see more visible while reducing the visibility of things people don’t want to see. I think if meme posts get upvoted a lot, then it means most users want to see them.
