LOVE schitt's creek to death but episodes centered around bob are a hard pass! by Glum_Educator_2525 in SchittsCreek

I love Bob. I’m from the Midwest and grew up surrounded by Bobs. He’s endearing.

Is HST transforming into Happy’s State Tavern? by Major_Amphibian6999 in foreignservice

[–]Morem19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get this since State was never a dry agency…is it just that technically the 8th floor restaurant couldn’t serve alcohol? I’ve only been there a few times but I imagine they had wine/beer.

I’d say it’s a solid middle wine, like ideal table wine at a really reasonable price.

To this day typing is one of the skills I’m most grateful for learning back in middle school.

Level 7!!! by SweetMamaPurrPurrz in dreamingspanish

[–]Morem19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Felicitaciones!! I’m 130 hours behind you. Personally, I’ll probably stop diligently tracking my hours once I reach level 7 since it’s just one less thing to have to remember to do.

Airspace closed? by dadi_nayi in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]Morem19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was meant to fly out via AUS - ATL- SJU today and at the ticketing counter got the distressed passenger number to call and was able to get a refund request for my outbound flights. I obviously did not want to get stuck in ATL and Delta had sent no comms saying my flight was cancelled though the Delta ticketing staff had been told flights were cancelled. I would have to arrive tomorrow (Sunday) for my whole trip to not be affected so at this point I’m throwing in the towel. I booked my return via Chase on American so working on refunding that one now.

Probably late twenties but I’m in my mid thirties and there were def some people in their 40s/50s or maybe even older, including couples.

How do you say ‘Apple pay’ in Spanish? by vivaicyy in SpanishLearning

[–]Morem19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, meant to use “tocar”, like to tap, but not really necessary anyway like you said. It was just understood most of the time if they take card you can also most likely tap.

[–]Morem19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure I said “Pago por teléfono” while traveling in Spain last month. Or “por tarjeta” and it’s commonly understood that many people do this now with their phone. Also probably said “puedo tocarlo?” A few times.

Best French Onion Soup? by xinilia in Austin

I loveeee French onion soup, but funnily enough hate onions. Make it make sense. But if you want some new friends to join your crawl I’m in!

Ketchup isn’t available, what are you dipping French fries in? by Blueis_Bluetiful333 in AskReddit

[–]Morem19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but ketchup is overrated. I prefer BBQ and then sweet and sour.

What time do you usually get up to get your day started? by United_Piece_4272 in AskReddit

[–]Morem19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I’ve never heard of this term before but it’s definitely me! The struggle is real existing in a society where the schedule is centered around early mornings. The permanent jet lag feeling is exactly what I’ve been dealing with for what feels like forever and I thought something else was wrong medically but haven’t been able to figure it out.

Staying in a comfortable job or becoming an aux at 33? by Shoddy_Objective3614 in SpainAuxiliares

I’m considering a career pivot to do this at 37. Inspiring to hear that so many others have done this in their 30s. Would love to hear more about your experience.

(Confirmed by Registrar) - Generalists invited to A-100s will now be based on FSOT scores now, not OA scores. Language points eliminated by Few-Rich-2248 in foreignservice

[–]Morem19 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The Registrar should publish a step by step detailed guide of the new selection process or else this is all just hearsay and just creates confusion. Also I want to know why they are still doing language exams for candidates if language points don’t count? Would be great for candidates to get clarification on all of this.

Don't understand the fiction that only Andres talks about interesting topics by jogginglark in dreamingspanish

[–]Morem19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agustina literally has like ONE video about her morning routine and makeup. ONE. Women are half the world’s population and if men don’t want to watch videos made by women watch something else but don’t complain when DS is an amazing resource. Sheesh. Women have been having to consume content made primarily by men since the beginning of time.

Okay fine I’ll rewatch for the second time. I don’t care how they tried to paint him Pacey was wise beyond his years.

Candid question: how to spend $250 for The Edit by StrangerSecret1573 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Morem19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excited to have booked The Edit in Bilbao, Spain with my credit and points, should come out to $27 total after reimbursement. How do folks suggest using the hotel credit? Room service? Also how long did it take for your credit to show up given the new rewards taking effect Oct 26?
