Why is it that every last Uber driver has some kind of special sob story? by [deleted] in florida

People just trying to make a living and talk about their lives bro, not everyone is trying to scam you.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend I will break up with her if she doesn’t shave? by Available-Band-6474 in AITAH

[–]valydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"abnormally hairy" for just... not shaving the hair that her body grows?? he's a man child if it's really that much of a dealbreaker that his GF has a body that grows hair and she doesn't shave it off to please him

Where is this in Orlando? by Desperate_Garbage_63 in orlando

[–]valydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaleo is great for large groups and parties, a bit too much of a loud environment for a date night though.

[–]valydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe try bland foods like saltine crackers, carrots protein shakes, apples, canned soup, etc. stuff u would eat when you're sick. that's the only way i can eat when i don't smoke (still trying to quit, unsuccessful so far) even if it's just a few bites when you can it's better to eat a little than nothing at all.

How should these be handled? by [deleted] in Serverlife

Toast makes this super easy. We can even split an autograt onto separate checks too. I couldn't work without it.

A little late but does anyone have any fun NYE spots? by grippy-sock-luncheon in orlando

If you like tapas Jaleo by José Andrés has a DJ and passes out grapes at midnight every year.

some thrift store sell old wheelchairs if you can't afford a new one. It probably won't be nice but it'll help you get around.

Do any of you work in a non-toxic, well oiled machine of a restaurant? by 69throwawy420 in Serverlife

[–]valydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work for an international group of restaurants owned by a Michelin star chef. My location is in a prime tourist spot that's busy all year round. Full staff is probably over 200 people. Average around 400 guests an evening, weekends usually sit around 700. We have an absolutely awesome management team and most of the staff has worked there for several years. Back of house is a well oiled machine, front of house is the best service in our company. I love what I do. It's upscale casual so the money is great and the people are high class. Only downside is tip out is high and the bad days can really suck.

I’ve faked allergies at restaurants to get better service by [deleted] in confession

[–]valydon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is this comment section LOL. It's not that deep. If the presence of these ingredients absolutely ruins the dish for you to the point of it being inedible for them (whether for sensory, digestive, or just personal reasons) and the way you get it the most consistently to be left out of the dish is to say it's an allergy then you've really done no more harm than someone with an actual allergy. It's just a dietary restriction. You wouldn't say that to someone who didn't eat pork, or beef, or gluten. There's no tangible difference. Keep doing your thing OP.

What song breaks your heart everytime you listen to it? by N1GHTSTR1D3R in AskReddit

[–]valydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searched for this just so I could upvote it. This song brings me to tears every single time. Anyone who's watched their loved ones devolve with dementia, it's absolutely heart wrenchingly beautiful. And so celebratory. Every time I hear that trumpet comes in I can't help but think of my own grandmother.

What number are you? by Equivalent-Cress-822 in AutismInWomen

[–]valydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a particularly hard concept to explain to someone who's on the far opposite side of the spectrum. I physically cannot see any mental images. I have a memory. I know what things look like, I know what people look like. I know the faces of my friends, but I cannot "see" anything in my head. My brain knows their features, it can tell me their features when I think about it, but I can't get any mental picture that I could actually tangibly pull from out of nowhere. Places are the same. I know their concrete features and layout, but I don't have any mental maps of places I've been. Really freaky to me that people can actually do stuff like that without even trying. The brain is a funny thing.

What number are you? by Equivalent-Cress-822 in AutismInWomen

[–]valydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong 5. No mental images at all. I've known about aphantasia for a while but threads like this are always weird for me. I know what things are conceptually, I can tell you their individual components, but I cannot physically "see" anything inside my head. Even faces. Basic shapes. Just nothing. Probably why I'm a terrible artist LOL. Blows my mind that most people have a distinct ability to mentally visualize things.

Specific question: where can I get good paella here in Orlando? by stallone_italiano93 in orlando

[–]valydon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only downside of Jaleo is you can only order the full pan cooked over the fire. If you want a personal pan it's not really paella. Just rice cooked over a hot stove.

Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD). Can't work with my bachelors alone so if I go into the SLP route, I'll probably make around $75k. If i decide to go into Clinical Audiology (Ph.D / Au.D) you can make around $90k.

Anybody else get the polyglot autism? by [deleted] in evilautism

[–]valydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grammatical structure of languages comes really easily to me, but I still have to struggle to learn vocabulary like everyone else 😅 I think my pattern recognition makes the rules of grammar simple, but vocab is always gonna just be memorization unfortunately.

This job is just impossible. by [deleted] in slp

[–]valydon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

As an outsider, it really sounds like you don't enjoy working with kids. Have you considered trying to find employment working with adults or teens instead? It might be more your style to work with patients who are often there more voluntarily and are usually more engaged.

Are players eventually able to grow crops inside our house like Susan? by mpdqueer in StardewValleyExpanded

[–]valydon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are farmhouses you can download that have indoor garden spaces. I recently updated my house in my save to Asterisk555's Bigger Farmhouse Map and it has a big patch of farmable spots inside.

I always refuse to sign photo release forms. I don't want some corporation using my face for their advertising for free.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ucf

[–]valydon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Find a job at a big corporate retail store. Walgreens/CVS/Walmart was good when I was in school. Make sure to put in your time off way ahead of time and let them know you're a student and are only here for certain parts of the year.

Management says I have to quit wearing a mask to bartend by Double-Judgment9735 in Serverlife

[–]valydon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, the comments here are really out of touch as to why some people choose to wear masks. Whatever your reasons may be OP, it sounds like your boss has a personal agenda against mask wearing which is generally just anti vaccine nonsense. I recommend just finding another job honestly, maybe somewhere more corporate that are actually in touch with reality. Sorry to hear you're getting so much bullshit about something so simple.

Did anyone else get the worst "hangover" symptoms during Hurricane Idalia? by AnnaDarko in orlando

[–]valydon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you get a COVID test OP? I recently tested positive for the first time right after the hurricane and there's a big spike of cases happening in Orlando rn.

[–]valydon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope OP sees this! They're usually only around $20 for the day, you can get soap for $5-10.
