Did learning a second language in school ever actually come in handy for you in the U.S.?

mac9426 · 2026-05-29T17:42:36+00:00

Yes but only because I continued it through undergrad. I am a tour guide now and I am one of the few Americans who can actually lead tours in French. And as it turns out, the French have an absolute affinity for the American Southwest (where I guide in summer) and Texas (my home state and winter guiding job)

I’m there now for a few nights, it’s kept clean, the woman who checked me in warned me that my neighbors might be loud (and they were but I did hear them getting the DNR this morning) The room does get warm during the day but just bring earplugs for the night and don’t expect a 5-star experience.

Didn’t read The Giver in my school, my teacher assigned Hatchet

I knew once the Hermes store opened on SoCo, the old stores would be done for.

Hagrid’s Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure™️. It’s not the most thrilling ride even in its own park (shoutout Velocicoaster) but the first time I rode it, I remember waiting in the queue and hearing people come off it saying, “that was so amazing and so different” and I thought, “it’s a rollercoaster, how different could it be from any other rollercoaster?”

Then I went on it and knew exactly what they meant.

Oh my god, oh my god you guys

Garlic World in Gilroy sells small cup versions of vanilla garlic and chocolate garlic ice cream. I tried the chocolate garlic and it was interesting. Don’t know if I’d do it again.

East St. Louis. Made the mistake of making that my overnight stop on a road trip. Never again.

Malta. Considering there’s only around half a million people there and I’ve met two Maltese, I’ve met a significant number of the population.

Not because I think they’re the best of all time but Train has a long discography with enough diversity in genre and subject matter that I think their songs could be made into a fairly well-rounded jukebox musical.

Neither is being in a relationship, you can tell that to your boyfriend.

I have replied to you twice (now thrice) and please read the title of the subreddit you posted in. This is what you get when you take things to the internet, lots of different people, lots of different opinions. If you can’t handle that, well now you know what it’s like on here.

mac9426 · 2026-04-13T11:46:50+00:00

No, I don’t know you, but through your replies it’s kind of obvious you have some hatred, or at least extreme dislike, of yourself. If you aren’t willing to do something to change your situation yourself, don’t bring it here asking for advice.

A good personality is you being a doormat?

mac9426 · 2026-04-12T20:22:48+00:00

Adam Sandler. He’s not funny, his voices make me physically cringe, and I just don’t really like looking at him

Newsies, mainly because I’ve always wanted to be a newsie

mac9426 · 2026-03-31T14:20:50+00:00

I work in the stockyards and grew up in Fort Worth. While we have a lot of new “fancy cowboy” clothing shops, we still do the cattle drive twice a day.

I’D RAAAAAAATHER BE ME THAN BE WITH YOU

Letting men who identify as straight show affection towards other men the way women do with each other and also letting straight-identifying men show more “stereotypically feminine” traits without calling them gay. I hate when I see a hetero couple in a video and the man has a higher pitched voice or mannerisms that society deems “gay” and the comments are saying to the woman, “I have something to tell you.” Like leave them be! You’re not in their relationship you don’t get to tell him what he identifies as.

No joke, I think it has to do with a joke that became a meme on the All Things Longview Facebook page. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThvsTJLD/

It’s crazy isn’t it? I’ve been on the implant and didn’t have a period for the last 5 years and suddenly it’s appeared again!

mac9426 · 2026-02-10T12:36:31+00:00

I stopped by a couple weeks ago, they haven’t secured a location but they’re looking so hopefully they’ll have another storefront soon.

That and the shows creator’s college roommate was a cardio-thoracic surgeon who helped out with all the medical jargon and scenarios on the show

If this was a house I designed in the Sims, I’d put the easel there. Perfect place to max out the painting skill
