You might enjoy this book. It’s like dictionary of random slang words from around the world, with different chapters based on categories.
Personally, I was a little disappointed because 99% of the definitions are just one sentence or sentence fragment. I was hoping to find out a little more about the origins of more of the words and maybe a little of the culture behind them.
I had a dream that my cousins and I were having a get-together at my aunt’s house, in the yard. My cousin, John, was the last to arrive and his car fell into a ditch as he was attempting to pull into my aunt’s driveway.
We all ran to his aid. He got out quickly and yelled “I’m okay!”
We all laughed. I said “Wow, this is just like old times! Everyone is here, even (my other cousin) Jane! … wait, Jane is here?”
I look at Jane, and time stops. The color fades from the background, but she is still there in full color, smiling at me. I wake up crying.
Jane (not her real name) died a couple years ago, and I have variations of this dream still.
Actually, me too. Leos are supposed to be outgoing, but I’m usually not. Eh, exceptions prove the rules, right?
I’ve kinda made up my own pseudo science that astrology is real. However, it has nothing to do with the location of the stars when you are born.
Instead, the time of year when you are born affects your personality for life. Think about it: babies born in winter and constantly being wrapped in blankets and mostly isolated from others except around the holidays. Babies born in summer wear light clothing, and are more likely to have encounters with others, perhaps causing them to be more social later in life.
People like you are the reason I was afraid to go to school as a child.
Cute wallpaper though.
Being a native from The South, “Yankee” to me means anybody from the area above the Mason Dixon line. Full disclosure, I’m not proud to be from The South. However, I do find many Yankees to be at least a little bit strange. So, the designation stands in my head.

You sure that’s hard wood? You sure it’s not laminate designed to look like hard wood?
Step one to fixing it would be actually finding out what it is.
I can just imagine my whole-ass piano glaring at me while I use my computer to play midi music!
Thanks for the reply. I might try that out.
What are you doing, though? What’s going on, on the left screen? Why do you need a virtual midi keyboard? Wouldn’t it be hard to use with a mouse? Wouldn’t assigning each piano key to a key on your physical keyboard work a little better? Or something like that.
I’m not trying to judge you, I’m just stupid.
I have this recurring theme in my dreams where my grandfather is there. I ask him, “aren’t you dead?” And, he says “no, no, the doctors got that all wrong,” and he laughs. Then I say “oh yeah, I forgot.” And we just keep on talking.
Cheerwine Zero exists. It is a black cherry flavored soda. Idk if it is available outside of the SE USA, where I live. Wikipedia says “It has been produced since 1917, claiming to be ‘the oldest continuing soft drink company still operated by the same family.’” So, maybe less evil? I do know it tastes quite good.
I’m sorry you’re forced to live with her. I’ve been there. You aren’t alone, and you are stronger than you think.
Here’s a prayer/mantra/whatever that has helped me:
“May we be victorious over our fears. May we be happy without hope. May we be of benefit to all.”
You don’t have to be like her. You aren’t her. You are who you are despite her, not because of her.

OP didn’t say they were unattracted to them either. And if you saw my advice as anything other than a joke, that’s on you.
Telling someone you are attracted to them and asking them out is not sexual harassment. It might be against workplace rules, but that depends on the workplace. Having consensual sex with someone after a date is also not sexual harassment. It could be seen as “quid pro quo” if one of them is the other’s boss.
If at any point the person asks you to stop and you continue, then that is sexual harassment.
Tell him you feel shy around him because you’re attracted to him, and then ask him out on a date. Either he’ll leave you alone or you’ll get some. Win/win
Put the same text in 6 different languages (maybe: English, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Russian, Arabic, and Bengali to get as many scripts as possible?) on each side of the cube. Be the Rosetta Stone of the future. Be sure to get a native speaker to look over each text before you comission it.
That should be enough work to discourage you. :)
I got a better paying job. Pretty much every aspect of my life has since improved.
I was gonna suggest this. Have you tried dolphin on your phone, OP? If it can run the games well, then just add a controller like the “GameSir Lite” for relatively cheap.
