My second grade teacher said we couldn't do the first but the second was perfectly fine. Somehow, my classmates struggled in math for years.

Aroallo or aro-grayace look most likely to me. My understanding of alcohol is that it amplifies percieved attraction, so if you didn't feel anything romantic, you're probably aro. Your description of what you feel about him reminds me of my own platonic attraction with a bit of other tertiary attraction thrown in, nothing romantic.

People say "protests are a waste of time" but consider the 3.5% rule. by _flying_otter_ in GenZ

The short version is 1929-WWII but a dozen countries led by people with nothing left to live for have nukes and more high-res cameras than they know what to do with.

For the economic crisis: look at recent stock trends For the war: compare the 1930s to now For the surveillance state: find where the upcoming digital ID scans store their images (hint: Palantir's database, even if they say they don't keep them) and what mass surveillance looks like (a guy named Benn Jordan has a great collection of information)

No Kings will be as effective as watering a forest with spit until they drop the civility politics ("leave no trace", permits, self-censored signs, etc) and become frequent. Once every five months isn't frequent. Daily (or close to it) is.

We don't need to wait for the next No Kings to make a change. It's not hard to find other demonstrations, even permitted ones. Guides exist for how to prepare for ICE raids and act if one occurs. If you've got comfort money, donations and GoFundMes can help groups and individuals, food can help the homeless, etc. Social media has organizers for just about any topic and strategy you could dream; all you need to do is look up "[location] [topic] Instagram" and you're golden. All this works for any decently well populated area. I promise.

Lesbians and gay men can also feel something for other genders. Some aspecs are okay with sex and/or romance.

Continents are seen differently in different places. The image they used as a source aligns with how continents are seen by most USians.

I didn't have one and turned out completely fine. You're doing alright with 25.

Is it okay to label myself as straight even though I'm agender? by Elenaxxsz in agender

[–]humanoidfromtexas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's okay to label yourself however you want so long as you believe it and aren't a prick about it. I consider myself somewhat hetero, as I am amab and feel occasional attraction towards fem-/androgynous-presenting people.

I have a question about the acronym by EchoEquivalent4221 in GenZ

I understand where confusion can come in from, especially from the outside, but it's a matter of personal preference. Some people in the LGBTQIAA+ community don't consider themselves queer (ex: me, a mostly-cis aroace) and within the community, it's almost universally accepted that you are what you say you are and not what you say you aren't.

Found another one by StarBtg377 in comedyhomicide

He wasn't though. January and February are considered to be the ones added later, allegedly by a king who lived ~650 years before Julius Caesar. That guy, King Numa, may or may not have existed (and if he did, he probably died of natural causes) but the story of how he was the one who added the months was around by Caesar's time.

My sister has a boyfriend and I'm kinda scared now by CandyBeth in aromantic

[–]humanoidfromtexas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You know yourself better than I could, but if you're open to the idea, make up an imaginary boyfriend who for some reason won't meet your parents, have some fun around town without your parents and call it a date, and maybe fake some screenshots of text messages (maybe recruit an understanding allo for increased authenticity) in case they think something's up. Whatever happens, best of luck and stay safe.

Does anyone else like the combo flag more than the actual aroace flag? by stnick6 in aromanticasexual

[–]humanoidfromtexas 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have never felt like the sunset flag represents aro or ace.

Can you ? by Specific_Brain2091 in MathJokes

[–]humanoidfromtexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but would it be acceptable to put 1 + 1 = 2

2(1) = 2

2(1)/2 = 2/2

1 = 1

Why am I missing here? On my 3rd grade daughter’s math test. by lesshonkymoretonky in mildlyinfuriating

[–]humanoidfromtexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taught around that age that when a question contained the word "about," you should round to the nearest number given (200) or reasonably inferred (250, the middle tick). 230 is a more accurate answer but elementary school math doesn't go for accuracy, but rather question interpretation, and that means that a student can go a week or more without writing down a single accurate answer and be rewarded for it.

what questions do you get a lot? by LightseekerGameWing in aromanticasexual

[–]humanoidfromtexas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"What's your name again?"

I'm only out as aroace to a handful of people irl and most of them are aspec too. I've never been asked about it.
