hate being the generation that remembers no ads on YouTube & the annoyance when we first saw 1 ad every 10 videos, then 1 every 5 videos, then on every video, then multiple ads within a single video, only for YouTube to market paying for Premium™️ to ‘get rid of ads!’ which weren’t even there at the start

I hate being the generation that remembers when I could easily find episodes of anime and whole ass movies on YouTube.

Hate being the generation that remembers when YouTube videos would buffer when you pause them, allowing the entire video to load and let you watch it without interruption even on slow connections.

Remember when you could upload things on youtube without fear of getting striked, as long as you credited the copyright holder?

Im a poor bitch without a job and stuck at home.

DO NOT DO THIS.

This makes me so angry.

If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.

My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.

When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.

If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.

Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.

Please signal boost this so people know.

This also applies to baristas

Fun story about the baristas doing this kind of shit. 

I am very sensitive to lactose, not Lactose intolerant but because of stomach ulcers that are still healing. A couple years ago I went to Starbucks right after my classes with some friends and asked for a green tea latte with soy milk. The barista, for some reason out of malice and/or hate for her life so she took it out on me, gave me whole milk in my latte.

5 minutes after my first sip of latte, my stomach cramped BAD. Not the “Oh! time to poop!” kind of cramp but it felt like someone had stabbed me with a knife and twisted it. Now I’ve had this happen before so I knew the cause of it. I went up to the barista clutching my gut screaming at her that she put dairy in my latte rather than soy LIKE I REQUESTED. She denied it and called me a “pretentious white girl for wanting soy”and so my friends got the manager. I had to explain that I had stomach ulcers that were still healing and if I were to go to the hospital for this incident, they would be responsible for it.

Manager flipped his shit and the barista was terrified out of her mind. Pretty sure both thought i was gonna sue. Manager actually fired her on the spot because of the negligence. My friends managed to get me home in one piece while I stayed home for 3 days in absolute agony and missed my midterm.

So remember kiddies, if someone is asking for Diet or “Skinny” or “soy” or anything that is not regular, give them what they requested because it may not be them being healthy, but a dietary need that can possibly be life or death

also if they ARE trying to be healthy you should give it to them to!! Its not your decision to police or question others food choices!!! 

also im lactose intolerant AND ive had stomach infections/ulcers so i feel this. 

I have Celiac Disease, so I’m very gluten intolerant. When I go out to eat at restaurants a lot of people just assume that I asked for my food gluten free because of the gluten free diet fad (which is usually a bullshit diet btw). 

Last month I went out to dinner with a friend at an italian restaurant that had a small gluten free menu. I had been there once before and had their gluten free pasta and it was great! I think one of the managers had been there and was super helpful when taking my order to make sure that everything was gluten free for me. When I ordered the gluten free pasta again this time though, the waitress who took my order all but rolled her eyes at me. I didn’t think much of it at the time, because the restaurant was so accommodating before, I just assumed it would be the same this time.

But sure enough, they brought out my pasta, I ate it, and about an hour later I had extreme stomach pains and was throwing up (in a movie theater no less).

Barfing and agonizing pain aside, eating gluten when you have celiac causes a lot of internal damage that’s hard to notice. The biggest thing is that it damages your intestines, preventing your body from absorbing nutrients properly, which can take months to heal.

So PLEASE, if you work at a restaurant or anything with food and someone asks for something a certain way, please listen to them and don’t just disregard someone’s order. It’s not funny and it can have serious consequences.

I will reblog this with every single story about someone getting sick because of an asshole giving them the opposite of what they ordered until it sinks in for everyone.

Recently on the news a 16 year old boy with a dairy allergy had gone to eat at IHOP with his family. The specifically asked if they could make dairy free pancakes and they said yes. Not too long after he had a reaction and was rushed to the hospital. This kid died because the was dairy in his pancakes that they asked for no dairy. His epi pen that his mother had wasn’t enough to help him. I know working in fast food or any job that’s serves food and beverage sucks but not as much as causing someone to get sick over negligence.

My youngest cousin – who is now five, he just started kindergarten – has Celiac’s disease. You would not BELEIVE the amount of times I’ve heard my aunt say she’s ordered something gluten free, only to watch the waiter or waitress’s eyes go huge when she gives it to my cousin – my cousin with the medical id band on his tiny five year old wrist proclaiming I HAVE CELIACS and have to take it back. Shit like this could kill my cousin. Knock it the fuck off.

I cannot tolerate caffeine–it makes me have chest pain and a racing pulse, and also gives me horrible body pain, so I always ask for decaf if I order coffee when I’m out, and doublecheck with the waiter/ress when they bring it. but instead of saying “is this decaf like I asked for?” I always say “oh, did I remember to order decaf?” I shouldn’t have to act like I’m the forgetful one (because I know damn well I asked for decaf) but it seems to work better than implying that they screwed up when I take the blame on myself like that. and if there’s any hesitation when they answer, I tell them, “if there’s any doubt, please get another one, or just give me water–if this is regular, it’ll mess up my heart” and lots of times when I say that, they look alarmed and go change it or get another one. 

but I shouldn’t HAVE to share my personal medical history with strangers just to get my order right! no one should! how is it their business? it makes me really uncomfortable to have to do that. JUST GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ORDER!

I’ve reblogged this maaaany times before but there’s a few new stories on here so i’m doing it again.

cut this shit out

don’t be that kind of asshole.

As a diabetic, this would make me so beyond angry. Skinny doesn’t mean they don’t have a life threatening illness. Skinny doesn’t mean they can process sugar the way you do. People that do this are the worst kinds of people. DO NOT DO THIS!

Me and my family went to a restaurant a few years back and one of the dishes we ordered was made with wine vinegar, which I am allergic to, so we asked the waiter to skip it, and he said sure, no problem, that’s fine. So my food gets to the table, and I start eating and then my throat closes and I can’t breathe and then I start coughing and throwing up right there in the middle of the restaurant and it was very fortunate that I was with my family and they knew what was happening to me. I had to be rushed to the hospital, and admitted, and I came damn near close to having my throat cut open so I could breathe through a whole on my neck. Because they put wine vinegar in my food when I explicitly told them not to, because they were assholes, and I could have died. They probably didn’t mean to hurt me but they did. I missed class, and work, and, again, I COULD HAVE DIED.

i have cyclic vomiting syndrome and can’t tolerate dairy or red meat. violating my dietary restrictions triggers an acute episode, and i have to be hospitalized and given iv saline, ativan, and anti-emetics to stop the (extremely painful and incapacitating) vomiting. if somebody put regular milk instead of soy milk in my latte and i didn’t notice the taste immediately, i could wind up in the er and then spend several days in bed recovering, eating nothing but saltines and dry toast and clear liquids until my body was able to tolerate food again, unable to work or go out or do anything besides rest. whenever i go to starbucks, i WATCH them make my drink. cvs episodes are horrible and i hate them, and i can prevent them if i do everything right, but that means my damn barista has to cooperate. if somebody decided i was a stuck up white girl and gave me whole milk instead of soy they could put me in the hospital and cost me days of income. give ppl the food they fuckin order. it’s not that hard.

Reblogging because it’s so important. I’m “lucky” I don’t have any food allergies or intolerence, but it makes me mad when people take them not seriously, think you are picky or just following a “white girl diet fad”.

90% of people don’t take my cats and dog allergies seriously when I tell them I’m allergic and wondering if a cat or a dog is present at X place. They think it’s just watery eyes. Nope. Well yeah, watery and itchy eyes, but I start wo wheeze and have trouble breathing. They don’t give epi-pen for those (anyway you have to go to the hospital after) just inhaler. It’s no miracle, specially if I didn’t take other meds before.

When people tell you about their allergies or restriction, trust them!

Reblogging for all the stories here because this is sooo important! 

I have a severe allergy to gluten and relate to MANY of the stories above. My daughter has a severe allergy to milk fat, and I have had to hold her hair many times while she vomits on the side of the road because we couldn’t even make it home from the “accidental” whole milk instead of skim. 

I’m super lactose intolerant so accidental milk is always fun. Severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, and gas like you wouldn’t believe. Better than death you might say but, I have other medical conditions, so that diarrhea could lead to vomiting(it’s so bad the vomit comes out my mouth AND nose) and dehydration that in turn becomes low cortisol and adrenal crisis. A bitchy barista can land me in the hospital with an intramuscular shot and saline iv. Hun, it takes no time to listen and follow my order. It takes me at least 24 hours to get out of the hospital. Be nice.

I’m allergic to pork. Legit allergic. I can’t count how many times I’ve had to ask it off my food only to receive it with bacon or ham or something on it.

Please respect peoples food requests. It costs 0.00$ to not be a dick.

I actually have customers who say they’ll only eat at my restaurant when I’m there, because they know I require all policy to be followed, as in “I will kick you the fuck off your shift if you skimp,” if someone says the words “I have an allergy.” I developed our allergy policies, for that matter, because what we had in place before was “I guess you shouldn’t change your gloves … . ?” On my shifts your gloves get changed, that line gets wiped down with a new cloth, paper under EVERY ITEM for the person with the allergy, bag their food separately to prevent contact. If there’s a risk of cross-contamination with an allergen, like tomatoes in the guac because stuff spills when you’re moving as fast as we do, I’ll open a new bag of food. I learned the ingredients in every item we serve so I could advise people on hidden allergens (e.g., there’s a small amount of wheat in our beef as a thickener; we fry with safflower oil). We have a grease pencil to mark special builds and I use it liberally on allergy orders. If all of this sounds like overkill, you’ve never watched a child suffer from anaphylaxis. I don’t play around.

Like, I bitch about my job a lot, but food allergies and special needs are not something I will ever bitch about. Even if you’re a complete asshole I won’t risk contaminating your food. (Although people with allergies seem to be way nicer than the general population, I gotta say.) Don’t do it. If someone’s a petty asshole to you, give them too much ice in their drink. Don’t play with their health.

DO NOT FUCKING SCROLL PAST THIS P L E A S E

Reblogging this again because it is important. Doing the right thing has no cost but doing the wrong thing can cost a person’s life. Don’t be a dick, give the person what they ordered

yes, finally this is on my dash

luckily i haven’t had many problems with this but if someone gives me an “accidentally” non-decaf drink after i’ve taken my meds I WILL OVERDOSE. don’t fuck with ppl’s orders.

i have severe allergies to gluten and dairy and large amounts of sugar make me really sick, and i cant imagine what would happen if someone did this to me. dont scroll past this.

My partner is extremely gluten intolerant, and really badly sensitive to it. He’s very chill about the whole thing, but every time we go out to eat, a part of me is absolutely terrified - it wouldn’t kill him, but I can’t bear to see him in the pain that he goes through when he accidentally has gluten

Imma just… hit that reblog button.

My mom has fibromyalgia & is allergic to gluten & whitenol(however it’s spelled),the stuff that’s put on salads/lettuce to help keep it fresh. It’s not a severe allergy,but if she eats too much of either,then it will cause her to break out in a painful rash,& can sometimes cause the fibro to flare up. She’s learned what to avoid eating,& most restaurants are helpful if need be. The biggest problem she’s had has actually been several doctors she’s seen about her fibro. Quite a few had such a superiority complex & arrogance that they’d barely listen to her & ended up making things worse with what they prescribed. So yes,restaurant staff can be bad,& as I’m sure we’re all aware,doctors & hospitals can be just as bad,if not worse. Stay safe everyone.

Be safe friendos

NOBODY FUCKING DO THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE A POTENTIAL FUCKING MURDERER. THIS ISN’T FUCKING COOL. DON’T LET A “stubborn white girl on a diet-fad” FUCKING DIE BECAUSE YOU THINK THEY’VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG TO YOU.

I hope no-one minds me ranting about personal life yet again, but I’d like to make a contribution to these stories. I’ve mentioned it before I think, I’m a type one diabetic who’s also likely borderline insulin resistant due to hormone imbalance and mental instability. Yes, mental problems and hormones do cause added issues with type one. Anyway, I’ve had an experience with things like this myself. It lead to one of the very few times I’ve almost been rushed to the er or actually have been to the er due to high glucose. This was IHOP, a few years ago me and my family decided we’d try the place, as we’d never done it before. My parents did research and found there was pancake batter in the eggs to make them fluffier, so when we ordered, we asked for no pancake batter in my eggs, as we didn’t want to go too high with the carb count, it was already something like 80 or 90 carbs. So we eat thinking they followed what we asked, and later that day i start feeling really sick like I’m going to either have some sort of stroke or throw up, I check my sugars, and I’m at around 650-700 I think? Not the highest I’ve had, unfortunately. But still, I ended up needing to stay at home for three days, throwing up and feeling terrible, and struggling with ketones and high sugars. So as has been stated many times, PLEASE FOLLOW CUSTOMER’S ORDERS. YOU COULD KILL THEM IF YOU PURPOSELY NEGLECT THEM JUST THINKING THEY’RE ON A DIET.

I am severely lactose intolerant. I won’t die, it ain’t an allergy, but even a spoonful of milk could literally send me to the floor for a full day. I also happen to be vegan (this is a choice, but it also helps me for other health issues). What happened, you might ask? I was at work, just started a new job, and they feed us breakfast and lunch daily. This chef, a very rude and judgy man in his 50s who claimed to be the best because he’d worked all over the world, when I told him I was vegan and I therefore couldn’t have meals with cream/milk in them (he made lots of those) rolled his eyes. I thought “whatever, as long as he gives me what I need, he can roll his eye all he wants”. A day later, he made a curry plate and told me it was vegan. I double checked with him, because it looked very creamy to me. “Are you sure there’s no dairy in here?” “Of course.” he said, looking straight at me. So I ate it. Not even a full hour goes by and I start to get really sick. Gas, insane stomach cramps, diarrhea. I manage to get home, and I proceed to spend a full day in pain, sweating like a mad man, going from couch to bathroom and back, highly dehydrated because of the whole ordeal. THe day after I barely manage to make it to work, but I do, and I tell my manager.  He doesn’t believe me. Said I probably ate something after work. I’m furious, but I let it go… … Until that shit happens again. I see the plate, the chef tells me it’s vegan. I’m like “Are you sure? Cause last time this and that happened” He says “Of course.” So I go to check in the pot, and another chef, this small woman who’s been working as a kitchen help for the past 30 years, comes to me and whispers “That’s not vegan honey. I saw him toss at least half a bottle of cream in that recipe. Which, to be honest, it doesn’t even need.” Furious, I go talk to my manager again. Finally, with a witness on my side and the proof of what happened last time, my manager believes me and talks to the chef. He did not get fired (not at that point at least) but only sent off with a warning. He claimed he “didn’t know I was intolerant to lactose” and it makes me FURIOUS because it doesn’t fucking matter. If I tell you I have a dietary restriction it should NOT concern you WHY I have it. I owe no explanation, but I have the right to eat what I requested. The guy eventually got fired for other stuff, but guess what? The kitchen help lady started making the vegetarian dishes for both me and the clients, and every time she made sure to make it vegan. I never once felt sick or had any problem. She trusted I needed that specific diet and she rolled with it.

The people on this post acting like Diet soda isn't worse than regular soda

The cause of racism is often fear of the unknown - lack of knowledge about other cultures. Travel, explore and learn - open your mind.

I will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, reblog this every time it comes up on my blog. This is the BEST statement, I’ve ever seen. 

I really love this. So many are dead-set on the view that people cannot better themselves but that simply isn’t true. Everybody deserves a second chance and everybody has the ability to better themselves. 

We can all grow, we simply need the right conditions to do so.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Akatosh sealed Aerys in her own little divine space when she ascended bc she’d keep trying to knife Talos in his sternum if given free reign to do whatever

I doubt Akatosh would care, it seems the other divines have no love for a usurper like talos

I feel completely and utterly betrayed. More than I ever have before I feel sick to my stomach. I'm upset, I'm sad but more than that, I'm ANGRY. So very VERY ANGRY!

Not in an "oh no, my ship :(" way, but in a way when your identity is cast to the wayside, invalidated and squashed beneath someone's foot. As a bisexual woman I am angry. As someone who has put so much faith and love into Magic as a whole I am angry.

But I also have faith in those who are just as hurt- who are just as full of blinding rage as me. I can't count on WotC to provide for us anymore, none of us can. Time and again they have spat in our faces, more and more each time with increasing power and phlegm. But I want to think I can count on the Vothoses who won't back down without a fight- who aren't cowards or liars of people just trying to profit off a marginalized group while only providing scraps.

I want to put my faith in creators who have the same love for what this story once was and could have been as me. I want to embrace the stories we can create, the tales we can tell that will embrace one another and make it known that we aren't just another group to blindly advertise a product to. Because, as we are let down deeper and deeper, we're all that we have left.

We can build this story a new, we can shape it how we wanted it- how we needed it. How someone questioning their sexuality, or struggling with their identity who has found d themselves in pur fandom needs it. Because "canon" won't provide for any of us anymore. Those who we had put our faith in to represent us won't even perish the thought.

I devise that "canon" is what we make it now. We are the story, the lore and characters that can provide a place for those who feel invisible and ignored to be seen.

No fucking joke, I was offered 4 days of film-set marshalling and I told him I was unavailable for one of the days but I could cancel. And he told me he’d potentially found someone else.

I reblogged this.

And not 20 mins later, he came back to me and said if I really want it, let him know now. So fuck. Wow.
