"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I got carded once when going to a place, but they also patted me down, so it was less because of a place minors shouldn't go and more of a place no one should go.

Eh, I worked security at one of the biggest nightclubs in the midwest and on weekends we patted every dude down.

I complete believe Woody would work security at a nightclub.

I'm not doxing him, he did an amazing cosplay of Woody from Quantum and Woody and that character would definitely do that job. Well, he would half-rear end that job. Well, Woody would probably sign up for the job, but spend most of the time just buying beers and harassing female patrons. Well, he'd actually probably just not even show up and go to a different bar.

LoL, you guys. I really did work security for a while. Mostly at a smaller bar but it was in the same complex as the club and I frequently picked up shifts on concert nights. I also got free chicken wings every shift and thanks to customer bought drinks I rarely paid to get drunk.

So I got FAT. Which is what lead to me leaving that gig for the comic shop full time.

I understand. My last employer lied and said it was permanent position when they hired me, but brought me in the second busy season (60+ hour/weeks for 3 months) ended, as in the second I came in the following morning, and told me they were a small company that couldn't keep too much staff during the off season. So, I get messy employer situations.

I've been trying to be nice and not talk poo poo but I keep hearing horrible things that have happened since I left. Two people walked (one being my replacement) over it being a hostile work environment. It just hurts my soul because I worked so hard to build that place into what it was and now it's burning to the ground.

I used to?

I post in AI more than anywhere else these days and I shared most of my weight transformation over there. This the only thing I have hosted but it kind of shows the change.


Left is me at 225+ or so. Right is me in the same shirt at 165. The red circle shows the excess fabric that was previously part of a skin tight shirt.

Being fat absolutely has a negative effect on your mental health. I'm at just over a year since I started and with a few ups and downs I've lost roughly 60 pounds since March 2017. And honestly, since I'm no longer at the shop I'm 100% happier. It just sucks to watch it fall apart.

Something tells me that a pedophile will likely not be able to keep business for a long period of time before being shut down either due to lack of customers or finally crossing the line.

He's not an actual has-touched kids pedo. He's just a huge loving creep with disgusting opinions about women.

Edit: Everything you guys assumed about how I looked and was? That's pretty much him. Except he has hair. He drinks 5 or 6 cans of pop per shift, eats a shitload of fast food and SURPRISE has diabetes because of his diet.

I was an assistant manager for 6 years before the ownership changeover (father sold to sons). From that point on I was just an associate as they felt they had too many people with that title.

Yeah, but again, considering he looks 12 you'd think he'd go out of his way to carry some sort of photo ID. Even in the UK they card you if you look young.

Yeah, but young people are idiots and while the "rule" is you card everyone who looks under 25 or thirty or whatever there's no legal definition of what "under 25" looks like. I'm sure this happened in America and it was a bartender being paranoid because the local liquor board entrapped some other bartender at another restaurant for selling to a minor and gave them a huge fine (it varies state to state, but it's usually around $1000-$3000 and also means you lose your job). When that happened near me I was carding everyone including a woman with grey hair who had no ID and when I was still a bit paranoid but more relaxed I sold some booze to a woman with no ID but she had a hint of crow's feet around the eyes.

You aren't legally required to carry ID in America, even if you're a foreigner.
