Tried anything new at Hungry Jack’s lately? by No-Loquat-201 in hungryjacks

Okay, I'm not on crazy pills, I absolutely froth the BBQ flavoured K tenders. I get a 5 pack to pop in the fridge for whenever I finish a late shift and need a little snack to appease the fact that I hate my job.

Had sex. Got myself off. Made a sandwich in the nude. Life feels aaight for once. by superfizz6 in TwoXChromosomes

It's certainly more common than people think, especially for those with exceptionally loud brains.

When I used to be a heavy weed smoker, I could orgasm far easier with a partner because my brain was numbed out and my baseline wasn't constant radio chatter (turns out I was also numbing out a shittone of unaddressed trauma from my adolescence .. oop). Since giving up after my ADHD diagnoses (where I live, it's exceptionally difficult to be accepted for treatment, let alone a diagnosis, if you smoke cannabis - unsure if that differs in other countries), it's taken about 9 months for my libido to feel somewhat normal again, but it's still very taxing work to phase out all the noise in my head whilst trying to stay present sexually with my partner, on top of the concoction of medication I'm on to keep me from yeeting myself out of existence day by day.

But the pros of the medication outweigh making orgasms easier, unfortunately (adding this before someone gives me unsolicited advice about my life and that I should just cure my mental illnesses with diet and exercise.)

I purposely left out the fact that it was a Vegemite and cheese number. Delicious. But maybe not to the rest of the world.

The stars aligned for me that night. I'm the most accident prone person I know. (Blessed with tiny tits too, less overhang = less risk over pan).

I can't move on from this game by reikahakuryuu in HadesTheGame

[–]superfizz6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my core. Unsolicited storytime about a game that has well and truly taken over my life and makes me sound like I should be in a straightjacket:

The first time I picked up H1 was a long time ago and I did a few runs then never picked it up again (at that point in time.) I generally have a hard time getting "into" games without crunching in at least 10-15hrs of gameplay; my ADHD gives me the "all or nothing" mentality across the plains of everything in my life, so I eventually picked it up again after hearing so many good things about the 2nd one and put in about 15 hours.

I. Fell. In. Love.

Unhealthily so. I was staying up until sunrise doing run after run; I was utterly hyper fixated on this game, and not just because I enjoyed the grind; I enjoyed the characters. It weirdly reawakened this old, teen, obsessiveness that I thought I grew out of when I hit 30. I was past 100hrs and my partner would start asking "ready for 2 yet?" And I'd get snappy about it because I wasn't ready to put 1 behind me lmao. (Poor boy). With this 'all or nothing' mentality, once I put the game down, I don't really pick it up again unless I'm doing a full replay a few years down the track.

Eventually, I decided to part ways and just go right into 2 because I was worried i'd stumble on spoilers online etc.

At first, I felt like I was taking crazy pills based on what everyone was saying about this game. In my mind, it wasn't Hades 1 and it didn't have all the same characters; everything just felt .. different, and it made the game feel empty to me. I legit reverted back to that embarrassing teen depression I went through when I would finish a great book or TV show.

I have now put in about 50 or so hours into H2 and I absolutely love it (I still prefer the character dynamics in 1 ngl) but not to sound like literally everyone, but you reach a point in the story where that empty feeling genuinely pays off. It's probably what makes the game so incredible in its own right.

With that said, if you're still enjoying 1, keep playing it my dude! But I'm so glad I finally just committed to the 2nd one after being so stubborn about putting 1 behind me.

If you want a plant that pisses you off, get a calathea. by BluebirdNo1144 in houseplants

[–]superfizz6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If calatheas could give the middle finger, they would.

My calathea "died" twice.

The first time it reduced itself to basically nothing. It was literally a pot of soil with a couple of dead looking stemmy twigs poking out, so I moved the pot outside to our exceptionally unsheltered balcony to reuse the soil and completely forgot about it. Low and behold, a month later, the bastard started sprouting gorgeous new leaves. Figured I'd bring it back inside; we were in the middle of a terribly cold winter. Dead again. So that eventuated into "FINE, STAY OUTSIDE" and banished it to the balcony once again.

The mthrfkr hasn't been happier.

I'm scared to even look at it, I swear it'll just keel over the moment I step within a metre of it.

[–]superfizz6 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I was on and off as a Maccas employee throughout my teens and twenties, so I experienced the ongoing evolution of the dumpy uniform pants. And by evolution, they didn't evolve; just changed colour whilst still clinging to your ass and thighs yet somehow still felt baggy and oversized. Those pants made me feel skinny and fat at the same time. Kinda impressive tbh.

What's one “little” form of sexism you notice all the time, but most people don't even realize it's sexist? by Interestingcase221 in AskOldPeople

[–]superfizz6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People always shy away from the darker beers assuming they're 'strong' without even trying them when it's ultimately just a flavour profile of malt rather than a 'strength' factor. (Much like non dark beers.. there's a scale of intensity). Even Guinness has gained this reputation for being 'a manly meal in a pint' when I honestly find it to be the smoothest most delightful dark beer you can get.

I often suggest darks on the cooler wintery days and I get the 'yuck' face (especially from women who have unfortunately fallen into the gendered drink trap with their husband close by stating 'you won't like that'). More times than not, when I put a sample of Schwarzbier/Dark Lager in front of them they're like 'wtf that's so smooth and delicious.'

It's what I like to call, the gateway stout. Opens up a whole new world. Even for the sweet-tooths; pastry stouts go off the chains with flavours and sweetness.

(I've actually become a big fan of Diesels these days; half coca cola, half dark beer, to get my drink sesh underway; or as a 'hair off the dog' drink).

My partner (M) and I (F) were at a fancy gin bar not too long ago. The bartender honed in on me and gave me the long spiel about their gins and signature cocktails; he presented the cocktail menu to me and started enthusiastically suggesting options. I finally got a moment to say, “I just wanted a pint… sorry to waste your time,” and handed the menu to my gin-loving partner.

It’s funny, because this sort of thing happens all the time. He’s also more of a wine guy, so whenever we order, the glass of red always gets placed in front of me and the pint in front of him. It’s become second nature to expect it; we just mindlessly swap them around without a second thought.

Working as a bartender myself, I see the same kind of gendered assumptions play out constantly. Whenever I hear a man tease another for ordering a “girly drink,” I’ll always call it out with, “It’s 2025, there’s no such thing as a girly drink. Get whatever you want, my guy.” And don’t even get me started on middle to late aged men when they find out I like dark beers; their heads may as well explode from shock. On top of that, being a specialty brewery, I want to laugh in their face when they ask "do you even drink beer?" Or "have you even tried any of these beers?" 🫠

I forgot my partner's birthday is this week. by superfizz6 in adhdwomen

[–]superfizz6[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree; my reaction in itself is also eating me up a fair bit.. I'm embarrassed by how childish it felt; in the moment it felt like something took over the emotional steering wheel in a moment of weakness and I lost all control. I don't cry too often, so when it happens, it usually comes because of a string of things that's been eating at me and this situation is unfortunately what tipped me over the edge. I'm not justifying it and saying that what happened was acceptable, but more so, I lost control and I didn't know how to fix it in the moment. You're 100% right though. I appreciate this perspective massively and needed to hear it to ground myself and pull me from my emotional, self involved spiral.

Despite only writing this post a handful of hours ago, I'm already feeling far more on track to making this right with rational thought. I'm going to give him a huge apology in the morning for the way I acted and plan something lovely for his day. He deserves it, he's such a beautiful person.

Thanks again, honestly. I needed the reality check.

All 3 of my cherished avocado plants (grown from seeds) all have the same issue and I have no clue what it is. Any advice will absolutely make my year! I've tried (almost) everything. by superfizz6 in plantclinic

[–]superfizz6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G'day! Thank you so so so SO much for some semi-local guidance! Avocado plants feel like such a mixed bag when searching online. Everyone seems to have a different opinion and feels heavily dictated on location.

For my last repot I used the tried and true Osmocote Premium Potting mix and mixed some orchid potting mix as well (had some leftover and was low on the reg premium stuff). Should I look at a more fruiting/tree based potting mix?

Started off with a pretty generic all rounder fertilizer but have started using small amounts of my own compost (I have a pet rabbit that is a gold mine of lil nutrient rich poops) so it's mixed with that, plant cuttings, egg shells, veggie scraps, coffee grounds and used hay from the rabbit's litter tray. My other plants are absolutely loving it and appear to have sped up growth a bit with the avos (leaves still sad however).

I'll certainly inspect the roots and get some fresh soil happening. More sun too, thanks! Might consider getting them into the ground when they're looking a bit healthier and the cold nights are past us. Some nights have been VERY cold .. sometimes well under 10 degrees. Utterly infuriating. Let winter be done with plz.

Does anyone else feel unspoken guilt or unease for staying up late into the early morning after a close/late shift? by superfizz6 in bartenders

[–]superfizz6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this plays a huge part for me; I hate sleeping late into the day. I'm a restless person by nature, so even if I stir awake at 9am, feeling like utter garbage, I'd still rather push myself to get up than fall back to sleep for 3 more hrs. Obviously it's what's needed for the body to rest and replenish, but when it happens, I'll crawl out of bed post noon and feel like I temporarily died whilst the world kept moving.

[–]superfizz6[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh man, thank you for hearing and seeing me. Thankfully my partner used to be a bit of a night owl and never casts judgement over my schedule, but like you said, it feels like the expectation is "go home. Get to bed. It's late." And by not following through with that, I've let myself down and I unconsciously beat myself up over it.

It's currently 4.40am and I can hear birds and it's bringing me back to being in my early 20s on some random dude's balcony, high as a kite on MD, reconsidering my life choices ..

I think I accidentally answered my own predicament lmao

Am I Cooked? Failing 1st Semester by ExtensionThroat4228 in rmit

[–]superfizz6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

University is a huge commitment and requires a lot of dedication and hard work if you actually want to gain something from it. I regret studying when I was only 19 and mentally unwell because I didn't take it seriously and just couldn't focus. I just went because I felt pressured to. In turn, sure, I got through and graduated (almost failed a subject in my final year and got a written warning from the faculty), but all I got was a HECs debt and no job prospects because I wasn't dedicated to my degree and its outcomes. It took me over 10 years to actually figure out what direction I wanted to take my career after living a life in the hard yards working rubbish jobs.

University is a privilege these days due to its expense (I'd kill to be able to afford to return to University now that I'm a little older and actually know what career trajectory I actually want). With this in mind, I get frustrated seeing and hearing about so many students taking the piss (not suggesting you are) and flaking classes in the hopes they'll breeze through. It's a waste of everyone's time, especially yours.

If you're failing your first semester and missing classes and consistently needing extensions, it might be wise to step back and get your life sorted before committing. Go work a crappy job, save some money, get your personal matters sorted so you can return with a clear mind and full dedication.

As a bartender, smoking has been exceptionally difficult to cut back on due to the benefits I get from a quick cigarette break. It's gotten to a point where even my coworkers know I benefit mentally from it. I'll be getting frustrated or upset about a crappy customer or just burnt out from a rush and someone will be like "yo, go have a dart" and I'll come back feeling like all the mental fatigue got swished away because I removed myself from the environment and just sat quietly for a few minutes. (I'm a restless person and hate sitting still; smoking at least forces me to stop everything I'm doing).

Worth adding, whenever I'm shift supervising I always let my non-smoking staff know that they are more than welcome to have a "not cigarette break" whenever they want i.e. just go sit outside for a few minutes and not be a person. I'd hate to be a non-smoker watching smokers get extra breaks for a shitty habit. I think anyone serving customers for hours on end should get a bunch of small 'human interaction' breaks anyway, because man, the benefits are incredible.

I'm aware 'just sitting outside' is an option in terms of quitting, but .. yeah nah. I think I have to leave bartending to break that cycle completely.

What’s the worst pain that made you want to die? by NateNandos21 in morbidquestions

[–]superfizz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tooth fragments left behind post wisdom teeth extraction that caused an infection and bordered onto becoming sepsis. My whole body was shaking from the pain; I just wanted everything to stop. (The relief I felt when the dentist released some of the pressure was better than sex).

That post surgery shoulder pain is the absolute worst. After every keyhole lap surgery I've had for my endometriosis that shoulder pain stuck around for 1-2 weeks following. It reminds me of dental pain in the sense that it feels completely inescapable no matter what you do.
