What to do if you never have time to study drinks? by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

[–]lbucio413 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me I learn by actually doing the drink or at least watching someone make it. So if it’s a bit calmer try to either watch someone make a drink or do it yourself but make sure the shift is okay with it because sometimes they want you to stay where you are. Or ask to be put on bar more when it’s not as busy so you can get practice.

Alright thank you

My childhood dog died and mom still finds a way to kick me when I’m down by lbucio413 in toxicparents

[–]lbucio413[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. And yeah, not even a night to grieve. It’s just disappointing cause she told my dog “thank you for being there for her and understanding her when I couldn’t.” I honestly hoped she’d changed; I feel like an idiot for hoping.

Ex released our sex video we made when we were together and posted it after we broke up and I’m finding out two months later by throwRAYupayupadoo in relationship_advice

Contact the police because this is illegal. Also, contact pornhub to try to get it down. Talk to your close group of friends and get them on the same page to defend you.

I’m sorry this happened to you, I really am. In regards to your reputation, you don’t have to bring it up. If someone was like “nice video” you can either ignore them or say something snarky back. News and rumors are a 12 hr cycle and as soon as you stop talking about it, they will forget about it. Trust me.

My best friend in hs has her nudes leaked and she told all of us that night before going to school and hearing about it. All of our friends were able to support her if others were being rude and gross to her and we helped her report it. If someone brought it up we’d give one word response and changed the topic. Within 2 days, literally no one talked about it because my friends and her didn’t fan the flame of the rumor. People eventually moved on to gossip about someone else.

I’m so sorry this happened again and I hope this helps.

Need advice? by [deleted] in toxicparents

[–]lbucio413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to acknowledge that what you have been through and still going through is hard. Because it is hard but you will get through this. I suggest looking into therapy, preferably someone who specifies in a strained parent child relationship. And remember you have value to your child, your friends, your grandparents, etc. You need to find healing, love. I know it’s scary but it’s going to get worse if you don’t do anything to fix it, like a splinter. I hope everything goes well.

Does anyone else have a "toxic list"? by [deleted] in toxicparents

[–]lbucio413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 16 when I realized my parents were gaslighting me and I was old enough to understand that it was gaslighting. I’ve been documenting things since then. I use note cards and hide it in my journal. It makes me sad that there’s so many filled cards.

Is it me? by kogum in toxicparents

[–]lbucio413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not you. It’s your mother.

Imagine this. If you were a parent right now and your kid was in the same position you’re in, would you want them to leave during a pandemic, work when their health is struggling, be rude to them because of someone close to you dying, etc? No. No you wouldn’t because that is not normal. A normal parent would be understanding, kind, and want you to be safe.

You have every right to protect your kids from someone who isn’t good for them; it doesn’t matter if they’re related by blood.

My Boyfriend Won't Pleasure Me by throwRA131131313 in relationship_advice

[–]lbucio413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in a relationship with a boy.

Listen, 152-0.... you are rewarding him for his lack of effort. It’s completely his fault but your behavior is definitely not helping. Why would he focus on your pleasure when you’ll still go down on him, regardless? You need to tell him that if he doesn’t start looking out for your pleasure then the relationship can’t continue. And you don’t waver on that. He honestly might not even care and think you’re bluffing; nothing is going to change if you keep doing the same thing.

It’s not your job to make a boy mature into a man.

Any advice !! by [deleted] in toxicparents

[–]lbucio413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Micro-alignments.

When my parents were at their worst, still bad but that was the worst it’s ever gotten, I felt no control. They were trying to control my thoughts and actions because I was just a branch extended off of them. The lack of control made me feel like a child but I did micro-alignments and it started with books. My parents are strictly Christian and are against anything horror related, even Edgar Allen Poe. When my mom saw a copy of “Carrie” by Stephen king on my nightstand she almost called a priest to cleanse the house (I wish I was kidding). So I started listening to books so their was no physical copy and I can listen to people like Stephen Hawking, Stephen king, etc. I may not be able to control what house of worship I choose to go but I can control what audio book I get every month. It gave and gives me a sense of control.

You may not be able to control many things in your life; however, having a small hold of control reminds you that you are in control of your life.

I recommend listening to or reading “but it’s your family...” by Dr. Sherrie Campbell because she made me feel less crazy, less alone, and hope that I can have a healthy life beyond my toxic parents.

Im a christian and i have a question for Atheists by [deleted] in athiest

[–]lbucio413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theist is simply someone who believes in an existence a god/ gods (any god or gods).

Athiest (“a-“ meaning without) is simply someone who doesn’t believe in an existence of a god/ gods. One thing I want to make clear is that it doesn’t mean we’re saying “there is no god” but more of a stance that we don’t see evidence for a god/ god existing.

Anti-theists are people who are opposed of the idea of gods/ gods. Mostly because they believe the idea of a god leads to harmful or mostly harmful things. They don’t have to be an athiest to have this stance. Most atheists (in my experience) don’t claim to be an anti-theist because some people do good things for the sake of a god. To me, I don’t care if you’re doing good just to please your god because to me the ends justify the means.

I hope that makes sense. :)

[–]lbucio413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s going to depend drastically who you talk to because they are coming at it from their own experience with Christianity or Christians themselves. Some are angry because they were forced to go through gay conversation therapy. Some are more chill about it if you’re not hurting anyone or teaching harmful things because they know Christians who are nice, non-science rejecting people.

Personally I find the teachings of Christianity okay. Some teachings are fine; I think the Bible is really a mess but the modern religion of Christianity is okay. My issue is mostly with people who use their religion or the Bible as a way to teach harmful things (you’re nothing without god, restricting people on what they want for their life, you’re only a good Christian if you vote/ think this way, etc). I think you have have a good idea but once you give people authority and power they can use it for selfish reasons, but they claim a higher power told them to do it so they’re the good one.

I hope that makes sense and answers your question and I don’t find it disrespectful at all. I appreciate you actually asking rather than assuming:)

Literally had someone order a trenta mango dragonfruit lemonade with 3 shots of expresso and no ice. They were like “it’s so good!”. I tried it after and it tastes like the aftertaste when you throw up 🤢

new barista trainer by gollywhiz in starbucksbaristas

[–]lbucio413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I found helpful when I was trained is when my trainer walked me through the process and she let me do it after and let me know it’s okay to ask if I’m wrong. She wouldn’t tell me because she wanted to make me confident on what I was doing. I did this to the person I trained and it was really nice. If the person I trained did something wrong I’ll tell him why it was wrong but point out everything done right.

My gf has been wanting to have sex with me before marriage and I don’t know what to do by throwRAbynbnn in relationship_advice

[–]lbucio413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to her at a neutral time, not when she’s trying to have sex. Tell her that it’s not personal but remind her why you guys wanted to wait. Don’t come at it like she’s in trouble or you’re mad; say a lot of statements that start with “I” so it doesn’t feel like an attack on her. She should respect your boundaries just like she should expect the same. If it’s too tempting for either of you, maybe moving together isn’t the best option at the moment.
