By me?
By the young bucks?
By all?

Not by you friendo. The young bucks.

I have no problem with someone shooting their shot. But there are clear “I don’t want to talk right now” signals being ignored

 

[Meow Mix]

“Talking” is harder and a bigger deal for me, so it’s especially annoying if people ignore signals. There are times I’m fine with the effort, times I’m not.

The mask is part of the problem! I can usually pantomime and mouth that I can’t speak. It is much more annoying to take an earbud out to hear, take one of the mask bands off if I want to mouth anything, otherwise I just try to use my hands to gesture I don’t speak. Then they want to keep talking and I’m like dude, I didn’t want to talk in the first place. Earbuds!

You're so naiive.
Wanna stop conversations before attempted starts?
Wear a sign...
"Ask me about life insurance"

So hang a sign round your neck saying "i dont dont speak and i don't want to talk about it"

On the flip side in bold print "go away"

I left campus to nap before my 4pm class. Otherwise it has been a great day, I had one of my professors during undergrad years ago and I’m happy to see her again. Several friends in both early classes so far.

I certainly miss remote classes though in some senses.

Thank goodness for the 20th and 21st centuries

I wonder what fresh horrors the 22nd will bring.
At least I won't be around to endure it.

Wait...now a woman science teacher.....is that a come hither thing

There are possibilities...
- She's a lesbian.
- She went into science to get a husband.
- She mistakenly signed up for cosmology, thinking it was "cosmetology".

Maybe but this would actually be she went into science to get a GEEK for a husband....they're more easily controlled... and just pining for attention

And geeks are stable....no chance that they'll run off with
some temptress. They'll earn a good, albeit low, wage.

Sounds about right

Oh no, I woke up super groggy and my cat’s on me and it’s illegal to move a cat so how do I get back to school?

 

[Brickjectivity]

Why? Why is it either hot or cold? Why can we not be amphibians or lizard people? Why?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Per the PRC..... they are freedom fighters..... what's that tell you, And the Russians had them listed as terrorists...but now they are in negotiations with them...go figure

I suspect China has ulterior motives, and learned from England, Russia, and America.
Russia, Putin is old and secure so he can basically do whatever. Including making it possible to ask if the Cold War really came to an end or if we just had a time out.
Or not, since Reagan said basically the same thing.

I still wear headphones and a lot of people still don't get the universal sign for "don't speak to me. No, I don't and can't hear you because I don't want to."

Wear a mask. But it must be nice to be fancies by peeps close to 20 years your junior. You must be what i call "well preserved"

It gets old and kind of frustrating to have people think you're a kid or young adult when you've been a regular *** adult for awhile enough now that you're looking at middle aged soon.
Nice, but at the same time you have to deal with people thinking you are that age and being dismissed and treated as such, because "you're still very young."
And then it causes "age group disturbances." Or something like that. Such as people questioning me and really wondering how I'm into the music that was popular when I was growing up. Thinking I'm too young to have been to or know of certain events.
Being well preserved is nice, but it does come with fundamentally being seen as someone you are not.
