I see several for political news but IDK if there’s one for discussing/asking about them.

Native speaker of English & Spanish. Born in the US, technically, but we moved because of some job my dad had, I think.

He decided to stay in South America, and when I learned about certain things via friends, school, and the Internet, they happened to be in Spanish.

My parents, who I spoke English and Spanish with, didn’t really teach me certain adult stuff, so I learned through literature and school assignments (but also TV).

(So sexual topics and topics related to drugs I learned in Spanish)

A community for people to congratulate your accomplishments, major or minor.

This guy at school who my sister knows keeps meowing. My sister also has him added on social media, where he sends random videos of farting, burping, or him saying stuff in a weird voice to all his contacts of people his age?

Is this just typical teenage boy behavior? I didn’t talk to many boys at that age, nor were they American/English-speaking boys so I don’t know.

I’m a bit confused, mainly because I’ve never been told this before. I once was trying to talk to someone I met, and asked them questions about themselves to get to know them.

After a while, they just said, “You don’t have to do this, you know. I’m fine with being silent.”

How would you respond to this? I don’t really know the implications or anything.

I was told quite recently that I had an English nose. What does this imply?

It seems that the LGBT ones we got are for news and I don’t want to post random stuff about for example, my boyfriend, on a news community.

My 14-year-old sister Lena has made a friend who is constantly picking on Lena for the slightest things, calling her weird, screaming at her in social situations and in athletics, saying she is useless, etc. [my sister has mobility issues and asthma as well]

Fortunately, Lena told me that she and another friend of hers stopped hanging out with the friend but the teachers still want her paired up with this girl? (No one else will hang out with Lena’s friend because her friend group is preppy and very cliquey)

The friend is also doing the classic “You can’t be friends with those girls and leave me, they don’t like you/understand you like I do. I’m the only one who will accept you.”

Yeah, I don’t really know how to help as I don’t go to her school and I’m obviously several years older than her

I’m still fairly young and hear many women my age making certain references, using slang, or memes related to the U.S. and American culture.

Sometimes, I don’t understand the references though, as I do speak English but grew up where people did not.

My parents grew up in the US and speak English but of course, only really know the pop culture of their day.

Does anyone else (especially people who grew up somewhere else) not understand Anglophone slang or pop culture?

I don’t mean morally wrong, I know that sexuality is a spectrum, that everyone is different, and I shouldn’t let anyone tell me how to describe myself, I mean wrong terminology.

Like how a man who’s attracted to other men wouldn’t call himself straight for example.

I’m certainly not straight, even if there’s one woman I’ve ever liked and the rest were men, I still liked a girl.

I would definitely date regardless of gender but only one women has really been attractive to me. Although I’d date and love regardless, other genders don’t really give me the spark men do.

If I dated a man who transitioned to nonbinary or transfem, I would still love them regardless and wouldn’t lose my interest in him.

I consider myself attracted to women maybe ~5% of the time, 95% other genders (most of the 95% is male but IDK the exact percentage on that part)

Would omni/bi be a better description?
