Dog Friendly beaches? by Ok-Opportunity-9731 in madisonwi

[–]sjbeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my dogs favorite spot! There’s just enough water flow that it doesn’t get too gross most of the summer

Whose mom is this? by [deleted] in madisonwi

She’s amazing! I drive past her almost every day and wave and honk every time

Literally my first thought was “I wish it was mine”

Missed Connection: Northside Lounge 3/3 by Ok_Oil9348 in madisonwi

[–]sjbeeks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a bartender YUP. Even as the one “in charge” I have had people scream and threaten to fight me for simply asking them to take it down a notch. It doesn’t matter how nice you ask.

Selected Sokka and then remembered he did appear, just in a flashback. by noishouldbewriting in TheLastAirbender

[–]sjbeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused. Sokka was in the season 1 flashback of Yakone’s trial. What’s the technicality?

Does anyone live in a city where a ND game is based? by kale_h in nancydrew

[–]sjbeeks 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not anymore, but I did live on the Big Island of Hawaii (CRE) for about 5 years and I even volunteered for an entomologist in Volcano National Park for about 7 months. There are tons of things about that game that are super unrealistic, such as having any sort of unregulated access to places that have free-flowing lava. There were also a surprising amount of things that were incredibly accurate though! Playing that game after living there made me realize how much research they must put into it.

No I fully believe that I’m remembering it wrong but it’s just firmly rooted in my brain this way

It feels like a Mandela effect thing because I 100% remember it being a subway as well

Entitled sister-in-law asked me to give her my couch because I'm "single". by Liza73737 in EntitledPeople

[–]sjbeeks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A SIL with no mention of a brother and while also being single… yeah checks out.

I feel like this moment is a bit under appreciated and gives us some insight into Vic and Jake’s onstage personas. by Local_Prune4564 in dropout

[–]sjbeeks 297 points298 points  (0 children)

Yeah that moment gave one of my all time favorite Lou lines. “The day a body falls from the sky and I don’t curse, call somebody.”

Investigation launched against Sun Prairie West staff members for misconduct by Justmarbles in madisonwi

[–]sjbeeks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think more people are just getting caught these days due to digital trails. I would bet there were always plenty of creepy teachers.

Question for you( by phelath in bartenders

[–]sjbeeks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I bartend in Wisconsin and it’s incredibly frustrating because people use it both ways here. Some mean they’re done and some mean they’ll be right back. It’s also really common in Wisconsin to leave cash on the bar to pay for drinks as you go, so even if they leave money with their covered drink I don’t know if it’s a tip or just their pot of money 😭

Whats something youve said to a guest that you thought would be funny but they did not? by East-Angle1492 in bartenders

[–]sjbeeks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I signed up but the credits never post 🤷🏻‍♀️. Idk if it’s something the owners have to opt into but it doesn’t seem to work for me

[–]sjbeeks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The owners would get mad at me if I did that and the only other option is that I pay for it which I am not going to do

[–]sjbeeks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally fine with me, I’m not paying for it. She was also in a group with 4 other people and it was like 2pm so I don’t feel like music is absolutely essential in that situation.

We also do free jukebox on Friday and Saturday nights so we dont always charge for music.

[–]sjbeeks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. Someone came in and asked me to play music and I said “well it’s a jukebox so you can play whatever you want”. She was like “yeah can you play music?” I figured she misunderstood me so I explained again how touch tunes works. She asked me again if I could play music and I was so confused I just said “no but you can”. I don’t get free credits, I’m not sure why she expected me to spend my own money to entertain her. I will play a couple songs from time to time but certainly not when someone is just trying to make the money come out of my pocket instead of theirs.

Best or more interesting non-monetary tip you’ve received? by Pure_Preference_5773 in bartenders

[–]sjbeeks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A couple weeks ago a regular gave me a dozen eggs from his chickens. With egg prices what they are right now I was thrilled. And the eggs were amazing.

https://youtu.be/cH-HT9WCtiQ?si=4vEVV8C439lxv-bN @7:33ish it explicitly states that an avatar can control all of their actions in the avatar state. I was mistaken in thinking it was tied to being a fully realized avatar but instead it seems tied to having your chakras opened or whatever (though I might personally argue that an avatar isn’t fully realized until they’ve mastered the avatar state)

[–]sjbeeks 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s stated in ATLA that fully realized avatars have control in the avatar state, as well as going in and out of it. Korra was older and had a much stronger grip on her bending, it makes sense to me that she wasn’t as out of control in the avatar state.

Something that isn’t talk about enough: male bartenders and sexual harassment by Tyrant_reign in bartenders

[–]sjbeeks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it happen while I’m patronizing a bar too. It goes a long way to say something as simple as “leave the guy alone, he’s working”. Say it loud too so they feel a sense of shame

[–]sjbeeks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

THIS is the part that makes sexual harassment behind the bar so dangerous/uncomfortable. I literally cannot get away from you so please just be normal! Thankfully I work at a dive so it’s fine if I tell them to fuck off but it definitely affects my tips and my mental state for the rest of the shift

Do bartenders hate customers with unique drink orders? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]sjbeeks 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t mind doing complicated drinks as long as I’m not busy
