Yeah, but the Airman know what people mean when they ask, because no one else knows what an Air Force Specialty Code is outside of us.

I usually just dumb it down if a Marine or Soldier asks my Mos and say that I was in IT because I’m not sure that they can handle any words that aren’t acronyms.

I’ve operated under the assumption that everyone’s polite to my face, but can’t stand being around me since high school.

It’s always been easy to believe because I don’t think I’d be interested in being acquainted with someone like me if I was somebody else.

Everything I’ve accomplished in life has just been exceedingly rare blind luck.

Then they offered to resolve it in whatever way CF deemed appropriate and CF refused to elaborate exactly which domains were the issue.

That’s a pedantic way to answer a question that you understand the purpose of, but are choosing to answer it hyper literally. So, I’ll respond hyper literally. You don’t remember anything about before you were born because you weren’t there to experience it. You’re recalling scientific theories and stories passed down through the years about historic events that took place before your birth.

The question again since you want to be hyper literal is “what do you remember about ‘your life’ before you were born?”. It’s a thought experimemt to make you think about the totality and finite of nothingness.

What do you remember about before you were born?

It also has games now.

I don’t think it’s rolled out to a lot of people. No one at work can see them except me, but my Google app has games that I can bring up.

Also, a business “making 80k” doesn’t mean that he took home 80k. His operating costs and expenses could have been 79k for the year, leaving him with 1k in profit to pay himself out.

For everyone wondering how republican voters justify this type of shitty lawmaking, it’s like this.

“No one’s forcing them to work.”

“They came to this country to work, and this is our laws”

“They have it way worse in Mexico”

I’ve heard em all from people I work with.

Add “The Northman” to this list. It’s amazing and Alexander Skarsgard is fantastic.

I know other people replied telling you already that this is exactly what the Op is taking about so I’ll be a little more exact in my reply.

I’ve had this exact scenario happen to me two different times and with two different women when I was younger. One viewed me as someone they were interested in and one viewed me as a platonic friend amongst a group of friends.

The first one was the platonic friend. I took this as her trying to snuggle up to me when we were sitting next to each other on a couch and she flatly rejected my advance where I asked if she just wanted to snuggle so she could be more comfortable.

The second time a similar situation happened with a different group of friends at a party and instead of trying to reciprocate what I perceived the first time as a flirt, I opted to stand up and go sit on the bean bag chair so she could have more personal space. Much much later someone told me she was flirting with me and asked why I didn’t try and snuggle with her. By the time they had told me this, she was no longer interested in me romantically. Presumably because I spurned her in front of everyone, much like the first person I mentioned did to me.

From then on I accepted that if I missed out on potential romantic opportunities because I didn’t interpret a hint from a woman correctly then it was no great loss. They’re clearly not a good match for someone like me who prefers clear and enthusiastic consent when entering into a physical relationship.

The first time I kissed my wife on our first date I asked her if I could kiss her. I’ve had multiple people tell me that it was lame to do or that I “should have just gone for it”, but I preferred to be very direct with my intentions and make sure I’m not putting someone else in an awkward position where they’re letting me kiss them because they’re not comfortable plainly rejecting me.

Making the conscious decision to always be direct with my desires and potential love interests was one of the better choices I’ve made in my life. It allowed me to by myself without requiring “game or rizz”. If the other person didn’t respond positively then no big deal as we likely aren’t compatible as potential partners.

TL;DR: Hints are fucking dumb.

Be open, speak plainly, and be direct. This isn’t just something for people who fall on the spectrum. Pretending to be anything other than exactly who you are around the people you’re most comfortable with is a silly game that will end up with you likely losing in the long term. You can’t keep up your “first date persona” forever and eventually the real you will come out and they might not like who they see.

If you don’t want to try and find the correct pins to jumper, you can also unplug the pc from power (which it already should be if you’re digging around in it) and pull the little watch battery for about 30 seconds.

If my Windscribe Lifetime VPN eventually disappears, I’ll of course be pretty upset. However, for the 35 bucks I paid for it in 2016 I feel like I’ve received an amazing value.

If I had gone and seen it in theatres I would not have known that it was a musical based on the advertisements.

The same thing happened with me and my mate when we went to see Chicago. I guess we didn’t catch any of the trailers that showed it was a musical, so we went in thinking it was going to be a gangster film akin to Goodfellas. We stayed for the whole viewing though.

Bonaparte.

I watched that one at home and I had to watch it in segments because every 20 minutes some A list celebrity would show up for like 30 seconds never to be seen again.

Is this just coincidence that it was the same guy at 2 different movies or is this someone you’re going to see movies with?

Oh yeah, you’re quite a bit older then me because I loved that movie even as a teenager going with my younger siblings.

Sounds like you actually know. It’s been over 2 decades since I saw that movie, but I’m sure they handwaved it with something like that.

Is that the one with Willem Dafoe dancing around with his dong flopping around?

Somehow my Mom bought tickets for the movie Idle Hands when me and my siblings were small instead of Anna and the King. We didn’t last very long in the first film before the manager let us move to the right movie.
