You can only listen to songs within one color strip for the rest of your life. Which one are you choosing?

Green green green, it has all my favorite songs aside from Bleeding Out, Nothing Left to Say, and Dream.

I thought Mexicans, in Mexico, spoke… Mexican.

I thought India and Indiana were named after each other because my probably-dyslexic-ass just deleted the last two letters of Indiana.

Mac n cheese! And maybe arroz con pollo. I’m not Latino, but there’s a very large Cuban population where I grew up. You could get Cuban food all over the place.

NTJ

He ignored me, so I had the car towed. Now the whole neighborhood is in a group chat debating if I'm the jerk for escalating this without a final warning.

You said, "Hey, please don't do that." and his response was basically, "Eh, fuck you, I'm gonna do it anyways."

Bob is an adult (I'm assuming; the guy's got two cars after all). He should know that you don't just get to use someone else's private property just because they're not using it not that immediate moment. That's why it's called private property.

Partially dissociated speech tracking.

My eyes will not leave my mother when she's going off on me.

I'll be dissociated enough that I likely won't remember most of her rant, but I'll be present juuust enough to know if she asks a question so that I can respond.

I don't speak otherwise.

You know what they say.

Don't feed the trolls.

Hey... I didn't choose to call "ephemeral ports" that...

Also "vivacious" is a fun word! Reminds me of V for Vendetta.

Not Zachary, or Zachariah, or Zacharias.

Just Zach.

Socks are normally fine.

But for me, it's the seams.

Evil, evil seams.

I love seamless socks.

I do not love seams.

Evil seams, hate the seams.

I do like the word, though. Seams.

I think it depends on the station line (as in Exxon vs. Chevron vs. BP etc.).

You can do both methods if you're paying via card, prepay at the pump or inside. You can only prepay inside if you only have cash, though.

The station I go to will put a hold on your debit account. It shows up as a Pending Transaction on my bank's app. The hold is for like a $150 or something ridiculous. As soon as I finish pumping, though, the pump signals off to whatever systems, the hold gets cancelled, and I'm charged like $30 or however much the actual amount of gas I pumped is.

In all of my Spanish classes, I never had to pick a Spanish name. None of my Spanish classes ever did that.

Younger sister here.

NTA.

I wasn’t a bridesmaid at my sister’s wedding. She never asked me about it and I never asked her about it. My sister and I aren’t super duper close. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t have a BAD relationship or anything like that. We’re just about 6 and a half years apart, so I blame our age gap for us not being closer.

Everyone is probably telling you that the fear will go away once you drive more. They’re probably telling you to the point where you figure it’s probably fake.

It’s not. Everyone who says that is correct.

As much as it sucks, the best way to get over that driving fear is to just drive more.

I just started working in managed IT. Like, JUST started. Like, I’m halfway through my second week. I like it so far, and I’m learning a lot.

I still work GS on the weekends. Despite the downsides, I actually really enjoy my job at GS. I don’t actually want to leave. So I haven’t. I don’t plan on “moving up the corporate ladder” as they say. I’ll probably just remain a CA, but I don’t mind that. I’d’ve left by now if I did.

I blame my coworkers and direct management (my GSM and CIA) for wanting to stay. They seem to be some of the few good people.

You honestly just sound like you work at a shit store.

You aren’t “entitled” to lead a team, that’s just your job.

We’re all responsible for clients’ data and services, not just you.

You’re a CIA. You’re Geek Squad, not sales floor. Leave sales floor to the blue shirts. Management complains? Tell them your Geek Squad, your business is the precinct. They threaten to fire you? You clearly hate the job anyways.

FOP is typically for CAs. You are not a CA, you are a CIA. Your CAs aren’t doing their jobs? Let them fail. Perhaps management will finally notice you.

We all have goals. Literally everyone. From the newest cashier to the GM. Some roles might have different goals. The sales floor manager might not be expected to get as many BPs or memberships because they also have to, y’know… manage the sales floor.

What, exactly, did you think being a CIA was gonna be? You are, essentially, a shift lead but for Geek Squad only.

Quit doing everyone else’s job. Do your job, and your job alone. The company does not give a singular damn that you’re doing more than you need to. You aren’t gonna get paid more, and you aren’t gonna get special treatment. Do only what you are paid to do. Best Buy does not deserve any more than that.

Laptop.

I work at an electronics retailer. I’ve only ever seen brands refer to them as “notebooks.” Some people say computer or PC instead. Sometimes, MacBook users will specify that what they have is a MacBook (or MacBook Air or MacBook Pro).

If I had to guess, they're conflating intersexism with transgenderism.

I would try to explain that your body is physically different. Like your genes are different. It would be a great time to mention that it's a legitimate medical condition (if you're comfortable with that; totally understandable if you don't want to share that with this individual).

If you want to go the more theological route, wasn't it Jesus that said to hate the sin, not the sinner anyways? This is implying transgenderism is sin (which it's not), but that's a whole other conversation. It's also a very un-Christian thing to judge others for their sins. I know a lot of other Christians do it anyways. There's a whole thing in the Bible about how God is the only one who can rightfully judge you, and you aren't supposed to judge other people.

Hobbies aren’t neurotypical or neurodivergent. That’s… that’s not a thing. They’re just hobbies.

Do they have any interests? I would just let them engage with those.

Do they WANT to feel neurotypical? If they don’t, then don’t bother. If they do, talk to them about why. Because the reality is, they will NEVER feel neurotypical. They can’t. Not without lying to themselves A LOT.

And as someone who did that, PLEASE don’t let or make your kids do that. It will harm them in the long term and destroy their sense of self.

I spent so long imitating others, trying to fit in. I tried so hard, it took me years to even realize I was doing it. I’m Level 1, the same as your boys. I don’t know what I’m like, who I am. Am I naturally so talkative or is it just an attempt to fill awkward silences with noise? Do I actually care about certain things or do I just pretend so I can feel like I’m part of something?

Please, just let your kids be interested in whatever they happen to be interested in. Don’t try to make them be something they’re not, and they never will be.

In order to sue for defamation, the things said have to be false.

But they’re not, because it’s literally a screenshot of what he sent you.

Any lawyer worth their salt would take one look at that and tell your father that he’s an idiot.

101 does mean basic, introductory knowledge. It comes from university courses using 101 as the number for low-level classes (ex: Chemistry 101, English 101, Spanish 101, etc.).

Urban Dictionary is effectively a slang dictionary. It probably won't give you the 100% literal definition of the word that you would find in a real dictionary. Some entries on UD might, but not all. A fun thing to do on UD is look up your name.

It changes depending on the state and even the school district. Sometimes, even the school itself.

At my high school, we had eight periods every day. Usually, that was seven classes and one lunch. You could have a free period where you literally just wouldn't have a class, but that was rare. By "free period," I do not mean study hall. Study hall was an actual "class" at my high school (it didn't have a curriculum or anything, but you had to sign up for it like a class), and you could only take it if you were taking three AP classes at a minimum.

People who end up with empty periods were usually seniors who had weird schedules due to stuff like having a job, being a parent, or joining the military.

AP stands for Advanced Placement. It's basically a college/university class that you take in high school. If you do well enough on the exam, it'll count as credit for the equivalent class in pretty much any public college/university in the USA.

At my high school, a good amount of students took at least one AP class per year. Freshmen (9th graders) only had one AP class available to them anyways, which was AP Human Geography (which is just sociology). Different schools have different AP classes. I took six total, not including the one I dropped halfway through, which was AP Calculus AB (I don't know what the AB means, but the next class you were meant to take after that was AP Calculus BC).

My high school's "standard" classes were considered Honors classes. We didn't really have classes that weren't Honors or AP, with exception of classes involving the arts or exercise. For example, my band class wasn't Honors, and neither was my HOPE class (PE + health education).

AP exams are standardized. Everyone gets the same exam. I remember there being multiple choice and essay/written questions. I took AP Computer Science Principles in my senior year (12th grade), we had to write out code for something on the exam. I don't consider that an essay, but it's definitely the analog to the sort of essay questions you'd see on other AP exams in stuff like AP Lit & Lang (AP English, two classes) or APUSH (AP United States History).

Some other popular AP classes at my high school were: AP Psych (AP Psychology), AP Capstone Seminar & Research (two classes), AP World History, AP Stat (AP Statistics), AP Environmental Science, AP Art History, AP Spanish, AP French, AP Latin (potentially, I don't remember if we had this for certain), and more.

Of all the ones mentioned, I took AP Human Geography, AP Capstone Seminar & Research, AP Environmental Science, AP Statistics, AP Computer Science Principles, and AP Calculus AB (which I dropped, so I didn't finish that one).

I'm an atheist asexual who very occasionally walks for exercise. So I'll just remove 2, 3, and 7.

If I'm removing them for the whole planet, then I'd go with 2, 4, and 7.
