I got no slip shoes from Walmart and every little thing and bit gets caught in those. They smell bad, just like the grease trap at work. I just tried using dawn dish soap and a hard bristle brush and just hosed them down but I can still see bits and stuff stuck in there.

I'm not a stranger to the show but my gf is. When I was a teenager I ended up first getting into the show, watching it with my mom. But that was the cable days so I have better memories of the later seasons and probably watched them out of order too.

But my gf and I were debating what to watch, we've watched so many movies and shows we were running low on ideas. My mom has been rewatching the show again recently so I suggested we watch it. My gf thought it would be really cheesy and such or not like it, but no by the end of season 1 we were fully invested.

We both like Bree a lot. She is the kind of person we would dislike if she was a real person, but Maria Cross' acting is just chefs kiss. I really do think she is the reason why I love Bree so much, as well as her later developments.

Has anyone else got into this show this way or had similar memories like I am if we are similar ages?

Really need to vent about one of my shift leads today. I've had some issues with her attitude in the past and have even debated changing the hours I can work to avoid her. But after talking about it with some friends and family they said I should just ride it out and just avoid her as best I can when are scheduled together, just try to be on her good side and maybe things will turn better. It did not, today at least.

I was on back cash all shift and halfway through I had a brain fart and really couldn't remember if I had a 5 or 6 hour shift. Here in Michigan you get a break at 5.3 hours so I just looked at the schedule sheet to remind myself.

Shift lead comes over and demands to know what I'm doing and I tell her. She blows up on me, inventing this story that I have been 'begging for my break all shift' and that the dishes need to be done now because she's already being forced to work past midnight 'because of me'.

I leave her alone for a bit until I'm sent for my break and as I'm leaving to my car I say "I'm sorry you're frustrated, but I have had non stop customers all day and little time to do the dishes."

The dishes were like that, worse even, before I got in and the person before me said the same thing, also telling me they got so behind because the kid before her was a fresh newbie so dishes weren't being done at all when he was there. She screams at me again for 'standing around' which is another lie she made up. I didn't dignify her outrage with a response and went to break.

I reported her behavior to the gm and even said that if she did see me 'standing around' I probably was just breathing for a second or waiting for the next car to pull up to take their payment. The gm was on my side and was just as confused by this as I was, saying they will have a serious talk with her. The gm also mentioned good news to my ears in that 2 weeks she's leaving for university.

Good, would love to see how they handle this piece of work over there.

Also the real kicker? The gm knew the dishes would be behind today and planned extra coverage for someone to only wash dishes for a while in the afternoon. And she left 1 hour before me, while having a much shorter shift than I did. So she also lied about having to be forced to stay until after midnight.

I just want to find a normal subreddit with normal people who dislike ai art.

r/antiai is just basically an ai art subreddit at this point, the mods don't give a damn and still have a rule about censoring ai art even though NO ONE follows it and posts are never removed for it.

r/Ai_art_is_not_art looked okay, but they just had a drama about an ai supporter who was just confused and starting to change their views on their support of ai but they basically called a witch hunt on the poor guy because he didn't sing their praises in less than a couple hours and said some lukewarm insults about them on a separate sub that they seem to think are slurs (luddite mostly is what they were saying was a slur against anti ai supporters). They all seem to think this guy 'betrayed' them is what I read over and over.

So yeah is there any sub that is semi normal and is able to have adult discussions on this topic?

My friend recently posted in our discord group that I own about the one good thing of ai is does summaries a lot better than she can. She said that she sucks at them and just uses ai to make them now. I'm conflicted on this and just haven't responded yet.

On one hand I don't want to basically crucify someone for having a mistake, when she's not even using ai in the writing, but it makes me a bit sad and worried. I suck at summaries too but I got better by just doing it over and over, its like she's given up and seriously thinks she can write these amazing stories but just can't do summaries so she just gave up. Then worried because what if ai is training on her work? Or what if other readers see its an ai gen summary and then don't want to read her stuff if they assume the whole thing will be like that?

I already talked to my gm about this and she promised things would change, but lets see.

I'm often just put on back cash and promptly forgotten about. The front staff turn off their headsets so any time I need help I need to tell the customers to wait and go to the front and ask for help in person. They forget my breaks for hours even we we aren't busy or behind. They have admitted to forgetting about my break too. I'm forgetting service entirely and don't even know how to make the new drinks because I'm just on back cash. I had to use a slow moment to go in the front and read our cards to sorta teach myself it.

I told my gm that being on just back cash is really effecting my work preformance in service and now they just get upset with me for not knowing everything up there anymore and then send me back, so can I please have some hours on presenting, or service, literally anything. I said I wouldn't mind back cash so much if maybe they remembered me once or twice. I even asked some other managers if I did anything wrong and they couldn't think of anything. My gm said that I should be rotated, especially on a 8 hour shift, but I'm worried today will just be the same and I will bored to tears on back cash. I'm covered in dirty water basically head to toe every day from doing dishes. And once for my go home task, they made me do ALL the dishes, which was a full shelf. The shift lead smugly going "You can do this in 10 minutes right? :)" and me looking at the biggest pile of dishes ever. It took 30 minutes after my shift end until someone else said "Oh she only meant front end dishes, you can go."

This story I'm writing with my gf is still a bit of a wip, but I'm not sure if I am very committed to it and open to feedback or ideas.

Stigr is a demi god from my medieval world set in the 1300s. His father is Loki and some tldr backstory on him is that he starts off chaotic evil. He's in a deal with the Goddess of Death, Hel, to trick souls into Helheim when they die, but he cannot kill anyone for any reason. Even though he basically has the mind of a serial killer, he accepted but later on kind of regrets it because he really wants to kill people. He's never actually killed anyone in the canon but he's witnessed my other villain (briefly mentioned below) kill people and did nothing to stop it. Overtime he meets my gfs oc, Ivar whos a werewolf pagan who's a follower of Baldur and Stigr gets this stronger than usual urge to kill him, almost like a supernatural pull to do it. But he stalls on this because of the limits of his deal and he's trying to find a loophole in his deal. With him being around Ivar so much and pretending to be somewhat friendly with him, over time it develops into actual feelings for Ivar and he starts to second guess himself.

However his scheming for so long was enough for the Aesir (Norse Gods who live in Asgard) to notice and his plans really piss them off, because apparently it turns out that if Stigr kills Ivar, that would technically count as 'Loki killing Baldur', which starts the Prophecy of Ragnarok. Which this is the first time Stigr is learning that he actually has the power to end the world if he really wanted. So he has to explain and prove to them that he wasn't trying to end the world on purpose. He's evil, but doesn't want to actually end the world, why end his fun? The one thing that actually scares Stigr is the Aesir so being put on trial basically scares him into starting to become a somewhat better person. As well as Stigr and Ivar eventually being a canon couple. But it's not very quick, a bit more gradual.

I wouldn't say he's fully redeemed, he ends up more Chaotic Neutral, because he still is in his deal with Hel, but at least is more honest what happens if people accept the wishes he can grant now. Before he didn't tell them and was pretending to be Christian Miracle Worker. For a while when he's introduced in the story he's pretending to be a human priest 'working' for my other villain Inquisitor Zeno. He was there to trick souls into Helheim. But most of Stigr's redemption I mentioned here starts after Zeno died in the canon.

Last night me and my girlfriend watched the Jeep video together. We joked about how we have a friend who has a Jeep (he's not that into the culture but he keeps the ducks he gets) and how I debated getting a Jeep after my Ford Focus got totaled. (I hit a deer)

Anyways today I had my shift at my fast food job and it was just a 4 hour shift on drive through the entire day. I swear to god every other car was a Jeep and started to wonder if there was a jeep convention in town. Usually where I live, this place is near some fancy suburbs so I normally see porches, bmws, and then the average everyday people with their big ford pick ups, minivans, and worker trucks.

And not even like Cherokees that I usually see but every other car was a jeep wrangler or such.

I just have to rant about this. This situation happens at least once a day but this customer was really special about it and made me kind of lose it.

We were really busy so I’m handing out orders and this happens

Me: order 180!

Other customer: ummm it wasn’t 180 I’m 179 but that’s okay right?

Me: this isn’t yours then. Yours will be out soon

Other customer: -grabs the bag from my hands and looks inside- yeah I didn’t order this

Me: because it’s not yours

Other customer: well that’s weird

No it’s not weird! It’s not our fault you ordered a fuck ton of food while order 180 was just a McDouble

I can see why not everyone can do it due to work but for the lucky few who work later than everyone else, have you tried the method that humanity apparently slept with for generations and that is sleep early in the night, wake up in the middle of the night and do whatever, then sleep again?

I tried it a few times when I could and I like it a lot actually in my loner lifestyle.

A lot of time school and dare made it seem like your friends will be dead set on forcing you take drugs and drink underage. These situations do happen and we shouldn't stop teaching kids how to say no, but we should bring focus on that those who peer pressure you do not have your interests in mind and are not your friends or good people.

As a lot of learned that when we grew up, our friends were totally cool if we wanted to be sober or not and sometimes if we did say yes they would keep us in check and not go absolutely crazy. This has lead some people I found to believe that peer pressure doesn't exist at all and never happened in the history of humanity just because they were sold on the idea that only your friends do it. When in reality, only really shitty people peer pressure and you likely won't be friends with people like that as they will show it in other ways too.

I don't get it. We don't have a lot of space for our ice trays upstairs, so we take all the ice cubes to our old fridge we have still in the basement for storage. He goes ballistic every time we take the big tray of all the ice trays down there. Barking and spinning as he does too.

If we go to the basement for laundry or anything else he doesn't care. He isn't allowed down there as we are worried of him hurting himself but he's scared of it anyways so we can just leave the door wide open and he will never walk down there.

Even yesterday he saw me filling the water in the ice trays and I walked away to do another chore nearby before I brought them down. He started barking at me until he realized I didn't have the ice trays and he stopped instantly.

We have no idea where his hatred of ice making came from. When we bring up the ice cubes back up after they're done freezing there is no reaction and he never was interested in eating ice. So it has to be something about when it's being made that sets him off.

So I am very white and American, but some background context I have family in Thailand who are related to me by marriage and we're close. I have a uncle who moved there for his job and he settled down and married there. We visit as much as we can and talk when we can too. My extended family are native Thai.

I have talked about visiting it too but when my gf started talking about bringing a bunch of sex toys if we ever went I reminded her that Thailand has laws against bringing porn into the country.

First she over reacted because she thought she would have to delete every nude off her phone, (Mine and hers) I told her its a strict country, but not North Korea. Not like they're going to go through your phone and have you delete photos.

Ever since I bring it up anytime Thailand is mentioned she goes "Yeah but you can't bring porn, why do you want to go?"

I dunno? To see my cousins who are kids? To see my uncle? To be with family.

I feel like she's treating it like a future porncation which I guess is fine for the average person visiting Thailand but like, I'm visiting literal kids and family? Sex isn't the first thing on my mind.

I have tried to tell her its starting to sound a bit offensive like she only views Thailand as "the country where people go to fuck" which is a stereotype I know my family doesn't appreciate either. But she just says its just a joke and not how she really feels, which I could see if it wasn't EVERYTIME the country is mentioned.

I don’t know, maybe didn’t sleep enough but my shift is soon and I honestly feel like napping. I’m basically at the maximum daily limit of caffeine already and still tired because I have adhd so caffeine just chills me out usually.

What meal would perk me up you think?

For dinner me and my gf went to this Cajun boil place. I had snow crabs and clams while she had crawfish and shrimp but we also shared our food too. We wanted to try one of everything at that place but we didn't have that much money or big enough stomachs.

But later when I got home and I'm really high and mildly cross faded. I had one buzzball and a sip of vodka because I wanted to know what it tasted like. (A locally made cherry flavored one)

But now I was thinking, I haven't had crawfish before and I hadn't had clams for a long time. The chance is rare and of course didn't happen but what if I just randomly had a crawfish allergy or developed an allergy to shellfish over time. The only shellfish I eat a lot regularly is shrimp but yeah, what if. What if someone didn't know they had shellfish allergy and went there and found out.

Do places like that carry EpiPens? Or is it just eat at own risk always?

I'm in the United States for more context too.
