I’d believe some teenagers don’t know how to mute their phone. Tech illiteracy is off the chart these days, especially for young people.

An Op Shop is Australasian slang for a thrift store/charity shop. Not to be confused with Opshop, a New Zealand rock band formed in 2002.

I went back to my old forum haunt after a 10 year absence recently, very surprised to see it’s still kicking, though a bit less active. Nice to talk to some old friends lol

Last time, I apologized and said I should have realized (I should have), and my friend and I got into a two-day argument about whether it was a sincere apology or not. I finally asked what I did to deserve being accused of lying and he just said “well if I had said that I’d mean it manipulatively, so I assumed you did”. So apologizing in that scenario is taken as manipulative, right?

I mean… I think you did the right thing here. Hard to say without any context, but your friends kinda sound like dicks, like really taking offense at small things that really don’t matter that much.

Sorry, not sure what you should do with this take, just that maybe the problem is not entirely you.

A Foo Fighters concert years ago in Auckland, New Zealand where Dave Grohl burped in the middle of a chorus and kept on trucking. Automatic winner for me

The only good thing about the security industry in my country is all breaks are paid. However if there is a security emergency on your break you need to drop everything and sort it, as these things tend to be time sensitive.

That said do NOT get into the security industry, workers are treated terribly by the public and higher ups, if you can imagine.

I thought you were gonna say he’s going to have a grand old time listening to Grand Old Flag
