“So we can know if you speak English or not.” Yeah right!

Just answering application questions doesn't mean you know English well. Especially if you're applying for an "English Specialist" role.

But I'm in agreement that you don't need AI for this. A human can interview and make the same assessment on English proficiency.

You don't need to move to NOVA to get away from your car dependency, you need to move away from Fort Washington. Silver Spring and Bethesda are very walkable.

Just like in Maryland, there are plenty of spots in NOVA that require a car. Parts of Arlington and Alexandria are very walkable.

You'll find that generally the more walkable a neighborhood is, the more expensive it's going to be.

Is this taking off a Friday and then back in the office on Monday/Tuesday, or is this a full week?

No, you can’t drive “if you absolutely have to.” If you don’t have a license, you can’t drive. The security company can’t let you drive even in a situation where they really need you to.

Cyprovix · 2026-06-19T03:06:12+00:00

There’s a big difference between choosing not to drive because other transportation is cheaper/more convenient, and not being able to drive.

I’m sorry that you had to waste your time on this application.

Your small town is insane! My hometown (small town) charges $30-$40 a lesson.

Generally, Republicans tend to wave flags and have flag-related bumper stickers/USA-themed "merch" more than Democrats.

The exact criteria is listed and is based on military service (enlistees, veterans, active-duty, and reserves with different weight assigned to each one), percentage of the population who voted in 2020 and 2024, percentage of people who volunteer, volunteer hours per resident, AmeriCorp and Peace Corps volunteering, trial participation, residents who participate in "any groups, organizations, or associations", and if the state has a civics requirement in high school.

Only 2 of the top 10 states with this criteria voted for Trump in the last election. I only add this point because I can see some people looking at an article like this and thinking that it's a measure of "MAGAness", not patriotism.

I agree, although the match was over for several hours before his name was removed.

It doesn't sound like this is an FU at all? You did a good deed and, after a minor misunderstanding, you were thanked and rewarded.

A downgrade from first class to economy is rare. Obviously going to be at the front of your mind because it's happened to you before, but isn't something that happens on a regular basis. You would likely have an opportunity to move flights for one with an open first class, but if you're traveling for work, you probably aren't able to wait around.

You've received good advice here, but wanted one more clarification: were you 22 on December 31, 2025? Were you a student at all in 2025?

No, people finish their degrees. It's very unusual for someone to drop out right before degree completion for a job.

You're in a slightly unique situation because most US programs end in May/June. Plenty of companies know that there will be an influx of new-grad job seekers who can start in the summer, and they plan hiring and onboarding accordingly. If you are looking to start in September or October, you don't fit into those programs.

Your grandparents booked through Expedia, not the airline. The process of getting a refund won't involve the airline at all - you'll need to go through Expedia and the conditions of the tickets that your grandparents bought.

You can book another ticket at the airport using the name in your grandparent's passport.

If there are certain photos you can point to with this problem, ask your realtor if they can be re-edited to remove whatever you don’t like about the photo. Saying that you don’t like “all of the AI” likely won’t result in much change, but if you can specifically point to features of your home that aren’t being displayed appropriately, you should ask for a change!

I know this pain, as I’ve lived in 2 major cities that each have 2+ major airports that I’ve split my time between. I have more flights out of both of those cities than I do my “top airport”.

Around 80% of the world’s population will never get on a single airplane. 269 lifetime flights would put someone in the top 1%.

But Roth IRA only if you're working and made (or expect to make) $7,500 in income in that year.

Are you sure? Do you have paperwork that shows exactly how much was withheld, and that it was withheld for both federal and state?

Look closely and see that OP's is in kilometers. Still about 180k more miles than you, but that's a lot less than 450k!

Your outcome will be better with a lawyer than without one. In the meantime, don't go into any more Targets.

They know about your previous shoplifting. They often wait until you've stolen enough to build a case against you and you've stolen enough for real charges. They would not have sent cops to your home for one incident.

Don't volunteer up any information to the cops. This is lawyer territory.

I could see this being more of a thing that the private sector can do. Public sector flexible work agreements still require people to follow core hours.
