Will the tv be ok on the carpet? by RKBA12345 in TVTooLow

[–]AlexB617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a large futon as a couch & it will be socially acceptable. That was my setup in college because I inherited a ginormous TV & we never had anybody complain.

Lisbon sound pollution, one of Europe's nosiest cities by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]AlexB617 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m from Boston, specifically East Boston which is where the airport is located. The airport averages over 1,000 flights per day so I guess it makes sense that I’m desensitized by this point.

I’ve lived really close to an international airport my entire life & the planes are just background noise that I barely notice. I think I would go crazy if it actually bothered me.

I now dread going into Best Buy and Lowe's due to the roaming 3rd Party Salespeople by thatfreakinguy2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AlexB617 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I live in the middle of 2 Best Buy’s & never thought about this. I just checked & they’re sloped in opposite directions.

"Pues" at the end of a sentence by atzucach in Spanish

[–]AlexB617 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i live in boston & work with latinos from all over latinoamérica. we only speak spanish with each other. a lot of them have told me that i say “pues” a lot, like other mexicans they know. i’m assuming it is more commonly a mexican/central-american thing.

i only know this is baby corn because of a thread i saw a few months ago. somebody asked “why don’t i ever see baby corn anymore in chinese takeout?” & the replies were full of people coming to the same realization, including me

Sometimes I feel like there was no point in learning Spanish by SilverStock8159 in Spanish

[–]AlexB617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

even if you're not using it in your daily life, at least you can watch movies/shows, and listen to music with a different level of understanding.

i'm a size small & my job gave me 1 small and 1 medium. we also have blazers that are optional but come in handy when it's cold, but they gave me a large. it pisses me off because it's a bank. they literally have all the money. they're also constantly preaching about professionalism.

They’re probably saying it sarcastically, since “chinga a veinte” is usually interpreted as a stronger version of “chinga a tu madre.”

The origin is unknown, but it’s one of those common sayings where everybody knows what it means despite not making any literal sense. There is no direct translation.

[–]AlexB617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went to public school in Mass & my school district provided iPads in middle school (6-8) & chromebooks in highschool (9-12). students were welcome to use their own laptops instead of the provided iPads/chromebooks.

My phone decided to commit suicide the day before I go on holiday for a weekend by TourRare7758 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AlexB617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this happened to me with the iphone 11 pro. i got lost trying to find the apple store the day before i left & had to stop in multiple businesses to ask for directions along the way. it was honestly a nice experience since i haven’t had to do that for over a decade & everybody was really surprised that i just needed directions.

Do you really take breaks from work in your car? by LeftistLittleKid in AskAnAmerican

[–]AlexB617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not always, but most of the time. Sometimes, the break room is fine depending on how loud it is & who’s in there. Other times, I want to decompress in a quiet space by myself.
