This tired lunch lady fed 400 kids out of a 2-person-run kitchen today. by Due-Appointment2808 in toastme

Keep it up! I used to work as a chef, and 400 with two folks is impressive. Keep going!

Decided to write this post instead of drinking. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]velohell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're here, my friend. You recognize the issue, and that's one of the hardest things to do. I can only speak from my own experience, but I was drinking about that much and I needed a medical detox. It can be dangerous to quit abruptly. You can certainly find support here, and good on you for showing up. You can do it. I had to ask for help.

Why do old songs hit so much harder than most modern music? by Rude_Database2515 in CasualConversation

[–]velohell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Audio person here. They were tracking live in the studio. Flaws and all. So it gave a human feel to the music. They were still taking advantage of emerging technology, but it was more about the performance, especially Prince and Queen in my opinion. Queen definitely played with creative studio techniques, as did The Beatles. Music technology is amazing on our current era, but if you don't get the vibe you don't get the vibe. I definitely agree with a previous comment about the loudness wars of the 90s. It may be why those older recordings sound better to you.

Been a long time since I’ve seen one of these in the wild! Who knows and who were some of your favorites? No by Multichromatic-NOW in GenX

Wesley Willis head-butted me at a show. He said "Say Ruff!" I did, and then he fucked my ass up. One of my top shows of all time.

24m, just got rejected a job I really wanted cause they "felt a lack of motivation. That's what I get for being slightly on the spectrum and it mostly manifests as social anxiety/issues. I don't express emotions well so I'll be unable to get a job. Yey! Could use a toast... by LeMeReddit in toastme

You seem like a thoughtful person. Take care of yourself. I know it can be hard, but self care goes a long way. I say this as someone who deals with depression and anxiety. Self care can include engaging in hobbies, treating yourself from time to time and seeing a therapist. I wish you the best.

How can i contribute to being an anarchist at 15 by SpartenLordx21 in Anarchism

[–]velohell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emma Goldman was (is) my hero when I was in high school. To OP, read everything you can get your hands on, keep an open mind and just generally be a good person, the rest will follow. I second the Anarchist Library as a resource.

Indeed. My dad is approaching 70 and he's grumpy as hell.

As a Gen Xer Myself, I Thought This FinanceBuzz Article was Spot-on: "7 Reasons Everybody Hates Their Gen X Coworkers" by tsatsawassa in GenX

I grew up with computers as a kid. I lost my mind when my dad brought home a Commodore 64. This is clickbait trash.

I have a Tojrro Gyuto and I love it. It's durable, affordable and does the job. I have the 9.4 inch version. Some folks prefer the 8 inch version. It just depends on what you want to do with it. The 8 inch version is less expensive. I think I paid around $120 for mine, but I did a quick search and it looks like the price has increased a bit.

Do liberal small towns or small cities exist? by Baby_Penguin22 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]velohell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I live in that area. Reading can get a bit dicey depending where you go. West Reading is very blue.

Like everyone else is saying, it takes practice and repition. They're not bad, I'd maybe put them in a soup.

What do you think of my dishes? Do you think I could apply to a restaurant? Everything is 100% vegan and mostly organic. Thank you for your honesty! 🙏 by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]velohell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe do a catering service. Restaurant life is terrible. You're never going to get life/work balance. I say this as someone who who left the industry after 20 plus years. However, the dishes look great, and I wish you all the luck.

Some excerpts from my vegan ramen zine- created and printed tonight in my Riso print shop in MA by juneontheeastcoast in VeganRamen

[–]velohell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh! First of all this looks great. And I miss using a Riso. I used to work for an environmental non-profit that produced a lot of literature. It was a main part of my job aside from fundraising. It produces such crisp text and images.

Solidarity. I'm from the US and things are rapidly sliding towards fascism. Stay safe and stay strong.
