Actually, @Rockster160 aren't we celebrating a little bit late??

The very first Post was yours. According to the date stamp that was on Nov 4, 2017....
?

Correct, but that was still in testing phase. The announcement that the site was open was made on the 11th, so thatโ€™s the date we decided should mark the birthday. ๐Ÿ˜

PS: Next challenge for Rockster - can the posts be previewed before posting them. If I remember right, the old helpdotcom had that feature.

Yeahhh. I need to do that. Just been busy so havenโ€™t been able to put in as much work into features and upgrades as I would like.

anyone fluent in spanish?

Different languages are focused on different areas of speech. Iโ€™m not multilingual myself, but my more tongues-gifted friends say that English is is the language of expression.

However, given that, because languages have different sets of words and there isnโ€™t necessarily a direct translation for every word, there are definitely some things that only make sense or can be communicated properly in the certain language. Generally the first language a person learns to speak fluently, their โ€œnativeโ€ language- is the language they โ€œthinkโ€ in, and what they find the easiest to convey thoughts in. Other languages tend to have to be thought in their native tongue and then translated before verbalizing. (Depending on their mastery of it.)

My girlfriend and I need a ride.

Different people feel different ways.
Specifically- she sounds extroverted and you introverted.

Extroverts generally donโ€™t see issues with being friendly/close with friends- regardless of gender. In her mind itโ€™s very likely just a sign of โ€œrespectโ€ to sit up front with the friend to keep them company while they do a favor for you two as a couple.

Agreed with the above. Not too strange unless there are other things going on to make you uncomfortable.

I need to get out more.

Literally as I posted that 2 of my cousins came and sat next to me and started talking cars. I just sit and sip my drink and laugh/chuckle when they get excited ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I like to give people complaints. Just the little things like โ€˜I like your shoesโ€™ or saying happy Friday to people.

If I compliment someone's shoes, what if they think I am able to talk shoes? If they start about pumps and slides and whatever, I'll just stand there looking stupid.

This happens to me all the time. ๐Ÿ˜‚
People assume I know all about sports and cars (you know- being a guy and all) when in reality Iโ€™m like โ€œBaseball? is that the one where you take the ball to your own base, or try to get it into theirs?โ€

When they do that- basically just prompt them for more info. Let them keep talking. People love teaching others about things they know about.

anyone know how to change a jpg exetnsion to a gif in windows 10..

We donโ€™t currently host images (they take a ton of space on the server which increases costs pretty drastically)

So best way is to upload to another source like imgur or another media platform, then you can drop the link in.

No code. Just get the url from wherever itโ€™s from and drop it in, like:

http://example.com/image.jpeg

If you've converted it to a jpeg, you've lost some data, so you can change it back to a gif, but it will lose the animation you are probably expecting it to have.

Most of the time you should have no issue saving a gif from a website though?

Is it ok for male actors or musicians to wear a touch of makeup on stage?

I'm not a theater person, but if I recall correctly- that's the norm.

Generally males won't wear blush (I wouldn't say it's a problem if they do) - but I think it's very common to wear touch up to cover up acne, scars, or generally just to appear younger/glowing.
