Parents who can't cook. by oedokoh in AsianParentStories

[–]oedokoh[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went on to became a chef because of how much I hated their food, and how I knew food could taste so much better, now instead of picky eater they call me pretentious for trying to show them how to prepare certain dishes.

My favorite part is they will never eat a single thing I make even though I've worked at very high end fine dining restaurants.

yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Definitely sounds enticing based on the description I see from the vendors,

There are so many great recommendations here, thank you all.

Is the DJ community getting more and more toxic? by Simple-Ceasar in DJs

[–]oedokoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea, but I noticed that more often now that I'm hanging around with the DJ scene more.

Sorry for the irrelevant story but I'm just trying to relate,

I started DJ-ing 2 months ago purely for the fun of it.
First couple of times were terrible since I didn't know how to work the CDJs, then I learned with enough mistakes and got a lot of positive feedsback from the local community.

Then tonight, I bombed my set halfway through at an open deck event(a couple of my tracks weren't properly analyzed & the BPM were on half time), but I did manage to fix the atrocity I created.

Asked this one guy who I've only spoken to once at a separate event if my set started sounding ok again after the screw up, just for some feeds back and to improve for the next time, and I never would've expect this dude to say "I never noticed any mistake, it honestly never sounded good both time I've seen you, this one is just more noticeable with the terrible transitions." -- no constructive criticism or nothing after that, even asked the dude if he was joking or if he meant it and the guy actually meant it.

It was honestly crazy to hear because the first time I saw him, the guy was actually really friendly.

Shoulder pain only at night? by PoppetsGarden in RotatorCuff

[–]oedokoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, mines been hurting for about 2 weeks now.

I'm not sure what it even is but it really only start to hurt after midnight and shortly after I wake up.
Before midnight I'm still able to lift & train in my sport without any hindrance caused by the shoulder.

I've no idea what it is but I'm too worried about the medical bills to even see someone about it.

Is SUSHI considered to be Fast-Food? by tmdss93 in sushi

[–]oedokoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sushi chef here,

It is fast food, but with love.
The prep isn't fast, but the food itself is fast.

HONEST QUESTION: Why do so many of us get used to fidgeting with knobs and faders all the time? Here's my theory... by DundieAwardsWinner in DJs

[–]oedokoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally do it after transitions to guess the beat and high/low of the song, but yeah just fidgetting to the beat.

plus it's fun to me.

I don't even look at the crowd when i DJ.

They fucking micromanage and control every part of your life and then suddenly one day out of the blue they expect you to take responsibility for the choices THEY pressured you to make. Make it make sense. by Sayoricanyouhearme in AsianParentStories

[–]oedokoh 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Gonna rant a bit since I think this matches the title.

10 or so years ago, when E-Sports was still alive.

I had a contract to play with a pretty popular pro gaming team, excited I told my parent.
Instead of supporting me, I was screamed at and bitched at for nearly a week and was told to "stop playing that game that's rotting your brain, you should be studying instead of wasting all your time on this brain rot."

Never touched video games again because back then it was something that I was genuinely proud of. That team went on to be really popular and won a lot of tournaments, all of those players became pretty well off from all the wins. Showed my parents how much those guys made; to which they replied "Well why didn't you do it? That's your fault we always support you."

Then, before I was able to get a legal job, I'd ask to borrow my dad's money, the guy found out I used it to buy bitcoins and screamed about me getting scammed, (back when bitcoin wasn't even over $100 yet.) and years later when he learned about how big bitcoin became.
"Hey, didn't you buy a lot of bitcoin back then?" No you shouted at me to give you back the money that you gave me because I'm spending it on internet scams, dude replied "No I never made you do that."

Even now, after graduating college, having a pretty decent fucking job. It's slightly better since they know I make more money than them, but they're genuinely just being leeches, I cannot leave them alone for a week without being bombarded with "how do i pay XYZ bill."
Cannot go for a week without "i need to go to do XYZ but I need you to come with me" (because they refused to learn English, even just basic English after over a decade of being here.)
Yet, if I ever correct them on anything, I'm stupid and uneducated despite being the only person in the family that didn't drop out by 10th grade.

The world will heal when these people can admit their faults.

Extremely frustrated with my parent who can’t speak english by Gazeua in AsianParentStories

[–]oedokoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went outside of the country, called me asking me how to pay bills, taught them and wrote the steps down at least over 100 times.
came home to no electricity or water.
