The odd acidity.
Funny how real and fake profiles can sometimes be! My Salsa dance teacher Ms. Monica and I rarely talk (we did yesterday when I got an inquiry from a Mr. Harry). She's a great teacher and you can see more about her on my Dance With Me India website (didn't share the link to avoid self promotion, please Google it if you like).
Some fake looking profile with name Monika liked so many of my posts! I do hope this person got value from my posts if it's a real profile.

Yeah its in the title. Anyway so in 7th grade my father had brought home like 12 gallons of salsa from work. Well it was getting to the point where we couldn't use it all in time so as the ingenious solution my mind came up with was bring it to school.
For about 6 gallons out of eight (We used 2 and we gave 2 to our neighbors) it went smoothly. Except one day I ever the risktaker brought 2 gallons with me. The first deal went off without a hitch. But the last deal when I gave it to my friend the principal saw them with the gallon.
For some unknown reason the principal took the gallon who knows why only they do. The principal asked who gave this to you but apparently I chose the right person to give it to because he said I brought it from home like the good person he is. They took it to the principals office.
Yet afterwards when I went to retrieve the salsa they said that If no one came to claim it they were gonna eat it with some chips. The. Audacity. I kinda cared but then I thought "Hmm thats talking to authority and I'm liable to be angry and then get in trouble.". So like the saint I am I said okay thanks through a bleeding tongue from biting it so hard.
Finally with the happy ending to this I gave my friend the salsa after school and it all ended happily ever after. (Sorry for possible bad grammar English is even my first language I'm just dumb).
Smile and move along. For some it feels super awkward, but what is the outmost general and fair way to handle a no. Especially if you walked all the way across a dance floor, everyone's looking at you, and the follow you asked said "no" and pointed at her boyfriend or something. Then you're stuck there, because there are no other follows beside the other leads and her boyfriend just looking at you. Is an "oh" with a low-bow plus slither-away good? Or do you randomly scream at the bartender for some water?
What about a follow who just outright disliked your first dance with her, and does a very impressionable "no" with a big frowny smirk, and a bonus screaming addition of "NO, WHY DON'T YOU DANCE WITH HER?" after pointing at a random lady.
Or that one follow who you never even danced with, and let's say you've had great dances that night-- you look and smell great, and you're not sweaty... Just no's you and then a second later you see her doing a sensual session with an awesome muchacho who literally just came in the scene, and no, that's not her husband, she apparently quickly dances with other folk.
What about those seemingly personal no's? Like most, you have salsa as the only intention of the night... In this instance, you had no idea that her boyfriend already asked her to dance or that she is waiting for her boyfriend. She suddenly does a very interesting facial expression to say no, "I'm dancing with my husband" or my husband only chooses me attitude even if she looked like she was looking to dance. Then you find out that her husband who is 500 feet away, suddenly appears out of nowhere to dance with her. And the guy just smirks at you like it was some ploy.
What about the advanced "no", when you're resting during a bachata set and the follow you ask (in advance) to dance salsa didn't like this, and then now automatically no's you because you went for the reservation strategy.
Just humoring the dance floor.
But a lot of these happened to friends and myself alike. I'm wondering if there are any interesting or funny no's you all can share. Obviously, the best way to get fanatic dancers is to hang around infront of the DJ but sometimes that front is a dance floor and/or the stereo blasts your skull off, the bar can be mixed with non-dancers or couples only, and the place you end up sitting on is a corner.
Share us your funny "no" moments. I just want to see how we can creatively turn the no's, especially the harsh, weird and even rude ones into a

I was just eating some chips and salsa and I thought, "If I was eating those Flamin' Hot Cheetos, this would be considered bad of me cause I would be eating junk food. However, these plain, lightly salted chips and salsa aren't. I guess it has to do with what is on the nachos vs what are in the bag of chips...

Partner [10 years married 3] (38M) wants me (33F) to stop salsa and bachata [Aug 19 2018]
Hi r/ relationships
Apologies in advance for terrible spelling and grammar. I posted this to salsa dancing but had to slightly amend for this sub. This is also this is quite long.
I've been married for 3 years and we have a 15 month old. We have been together for over 10 years.
When we dated earlier on and had a big break up when I started salsa and fell in love it. I was quite young then so when we got back together, although he tried a couple of classes with me, he didn't feel the same. I did some more classes off and on but then I eventually stopped going. I thought why would I keep this up if my partner won't even dance the dance with me. At the time I only did the classes and didn't feel confident enough to stay and do social dancing.
Not continuing was always something I regretted. I get really sad when I hear salsa and bachata music as the music transports me to another place and also reminds me I didn't continue to learn the dance.
The first 10 months of having the baby was tough as I just stayed at home, finding it very hard to leave the house and organizing things to bring for the baby if I did take the baby out.
My partner also still continued his social life going out to friends places drinking and coming home late. In essence, although he is a great father, having a baby didn't have a major impact to him as he did to me. There were times when he came home at 3 to 5 am in the morning from drinking at his friends place. I was home with my baby alone on New Years eve as I did not want to bring the baby out late and I knew he would want to stay out. There are many functions I would not go to as I don't like to drive home alone with the baby and know that my partner would not like to leave the event early with us.
My partner did not do anything different and continued his exercise regime even picking up an extra activity. There was one stage were he had something on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and was about

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
I just had it for the first time. Holy guacamole, the Adobada and the Suadero tacos were amazing. I’m going back for sure.
Do your worst!

“There’s a new fiesta in the making as we speak. It’s out at the Moontower. Full kegs, everybody’s going to be there—you ought to go.”
Hello again to all my fellow degenerate gamblers riding this cresting late-stage capitalist wave for both fun and profit! Many of us had a grand old time at the big $GME hootenanny (box social?) earlier this year. And some of us with a high tolerance for something or other are still hanging around that party smoking joints and talking with a bunch of primates about all the spooky shit on the back of the U.S. dollar. Ryan Cohen still shitposting sometimes-indecipherable muckety muck....it’s been fun. We get older, $GME stays the same age.
But there’s a new fiesta in the making. With some familiar faces in the mix again. And in case you weren’t yet convinced that this is all part of some weird simulation (and with apologies to our man DFV), the gods of the obvious have deemed this new play: Big Fucking Value—or $BGFV for short.
Now, before CNBC gets its panties in a bunch about those dastardly Reddit deviants colluding again with their mean internet words to hurt the widdle fee fees of the rich and obtuse, let’s be clear that even though many of the old GME gang seems to be in this thing (Hi again Rod!), it’s only because we each very much enjoy spotting asymmetric opportunities created by dumbasses—and, most importantly: We Like The Stock. As for me personally, I came to this BGFV party to do two things: drink some beer and kick some short seller’s ass. And I’m about all out of beer.
Wut BGFV
So let’s get right to it: what the fuck even is BGFV? Well, you insufferable coastal elite, Big 5 is a pretty straight-forward sporting goods chain headquartered in that little California hamlet where Q-tip once left his wallet. Their sporting goods stores are often found in the kind of place you might stumble upon if you’d ever put down that avocado toast and your vanilla latte and deign to visit Real America™. You know, to pick up a Real American baseball. Or maybe a camping stove. Or most definitely an AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle. Which you might later open carry on the steps of a capitol statehouse like a fucking badass Because Second Amendment That’s Why.
Point is: Big 5 of El Segundo, First of its Name, is a

He's clearly a funny guy, several moments on the show made me laugh out loud (the salsa on the baby story, the 'say smarter things' quote, asking for the mole tacos)
It's strange because when he goes to perform he loses all that natural sense of humor and timing. Like dude no one wants to hear pedophile jokes! come on!
They were cooked in Greece.
Section One: Assets and Debt
Retirement Balance (and how you got there): ~$34,000 ($21,500 in 401k and $12,500 in Roth IRA).
I did not started contributing to retirement until 2020 because I was prioritizing aggressively paying off student loan debt and building my emergency fund, plus didn't have access to a work sponsored 401k. This year, I started contributing to a work matched (5%) 401k and about halfway through the year decided to up my contributions so I could max out to make up for lost time.
Equity: n/a
Savings account balance: ~$56,000 across 3 savings accounts ($33,000 emergency fund, $19,000 reserved to pay off student loans, $4,000 vacation fund)
Checking account balance: $1864
Credit card debt: None, I pay off in full each month
Student loan debt: $18,778 (I graduated with ~55k in debt for an english degree from a fancy liberal arts college in 2016. I refinanced my private loans in 2019 to bring them down from a whopping 12% interest rate and then paid them off in early 2020. I only have federal loans left and have managed to save up the total during the pandemic. I'm keeping the money in a HYSA until payments resume next year.)
Section Two: Income
Income Progression:
High School: got a part-time job at 16 working as a waitress in a retirement home for $7.25/hr
College: worked as a cater waiter for $20/hr about 1-3 nights a week, had a handful of summer publishing/media internships that paid $15/hr at the highest, occasionally did freelance writing for $150-$300 a piece
Currently, I am a full-time copywriter for a brand with side income as an author.
2016-2017: 55k - First full-time job working as a blogger/social media manager at a media company.
2018: 49k - Freelance income from a combination of author signing advance, freelance blogging, and copywriting work. Got laid off with severance from first job, took a few months to draft my first novel and broke into freelance copywriting via some friends who worked as graphic designers for various brands and recommended me.
2019: 88k - Started freelancing at a hot mess startup run by rich business school bros who did not understand how money works, but really liked my other coworkers. Got paid $350/day, then eventually went full time at rate of 84k/yr**.** Also made ~15k from 2nd installment of book advance and some other random freelance work.
2020: 104k - Unsurprisingly, got laid off from hot mess start up in early 2020 due to poor money

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
I always thought dancing was somehow ridiculous, like i imagine people moving without any music. But funny to change the music at the same dancing.
Its hard for me to just relax and go with the flow. I overthink about the process, step 1 2 3 4 5 and how it should look like. I just cant relax and enjoy it that i decided its not for me for so many years.
I still think its healthy to use bones and joints while dancing.
Are you familiar with this? How did you learn to dance and not overthink?
Ps. Most dance music used these days are very stupid - at least where i am its mostly reggaeton, salsa, merengue bachata, etc most of them are about moving your butt as if you are having funny sex
It really does, I swear!
Second charter off training, I have a 10 guest full day booking. I work as chef/first mate on a luxury day sail catamaran. We pick up our guests from St. John dock, and my 3rd guest I help onto the boat is Ben. I almost pee myself.
After we get off the dock and do the safety spiel, my captain comes down and goes “hey that one dude looks familiar….”
YEAH. He sure fucking does. Ben. The yacht chef. Below Deck. I just poured him the cheap shitty Prosecco we had on board and put out shamefully cut fruit and Pillsbury crescent rolls.
Cap: “oh yeah it IS him! and they bought the full lunch upgrade so you gotta cook for him right? …..well, good luck kid……”
I made a veggie board, fish tacos, salsa, fresh guacamole, and ceviche. Ben came into the galley and was chatting while I prepped, so awkwardly I go “you know, you look a lot like this really cute chef from this show about yachting….”
To which he responds: “DAH-LING I totally AM that chef.” He then proceeded to stick his hands into my ceviche to help me toss it in the citrus while continuing to chat about work, life, etc. I actually took the bowl from him and told him he was going to give me a complex. Wanders away with my humiliating Prosecco.
Serve all the food, dishes collected, the guests are happy and said it was delicious. I go on deck to pull in boat toys and release mooring lines and come back down to galley to find Ben DOING THE FUCKING DISHES. I had to chase the man out.
TL;DR, Ben was just as he is on the show, funny, adorable, and obviously a great tipper

Years ago me and my family went to a public fireworks display for 4th of July. The community was mostly Asian. And I am Mexican. They had some vendors there so we decided to eat at the only tacos stand. I order my tacos, add onions, and salsa. I Turn and there’s this Asian guy looking at me. Ag: Asian guy Me: me
Ag: oh I don’t want onions.
Me: what?
Ag: I don’t want onions.
Me: oh, i don’t work here. These are my tacos.
It hits him and we both start laughing. He apologized and I said it was cool. Still funny as fuck lmao.
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Long post warning!
Hey everyone,
Long timer lurker here. Figured I would maybe try and put myself out there to test the waters. I haven’t really enjoyed the online dating scene in the last few years. Was never really into hookup culture, and it turns out that it is difficult to find someone who wants to live a CF/DINK life. Here is a little bit about me!
Personality: I’m normally an extroverted person but can be a homebody at times. I think it’s all about finding that balance between FOMO and JOMO. If it means anything, the last couple of times that I have taken a Myers Briggs test I would either get ENTJ or ENFJ. I would say that I am a conversationalist that enjoys connecting with people, sharing stories, learning about cultures, bantering, and discovering new things. I try not to take myself too seriously and can definitely joke about myself. I am quite affectionate.
Not the biggest drinker (I can’t keep my alcohol like I used to, and the hangovers suck) but I do like the occasional glass of wine or cocktail. On rare occasions I'll smoke a joint or take an edible with friends.
Appearance: I’m 6’2, broad shouldered, athletic build, with very curly hair. I’m not materialistic but I do like to have a couple different styles and keep myself looking nice. This is what I look like.
Career: I studied urban planning in university since it touched on so many subjects that I thought were interesting. After graduating I spent a couple of years working in real estate development. About two years ago I stumbled upon the fields of data analytics, data science, and machine learning. After a long period of reflection I decided I wanted to pursue a pivot into these fields and go back to school. This year I am finishing my studies and will be transitioning into my new career, I am very excited.
I am carrier oriented and have set some ambitious goals for myself. I don’t want to work forever. I like the idea of having a FIRE lifestyle and being able to enjoy life while I am still young and healthy.
Hobbies and Interests: In no particular order, I would say that my biggest hobbies are cycling, playing guitar, wood working, learning Spanish (me defiendo bien), and cooking. Sometimes I feel like I am stretched pretty thin between these and that it is hard to prioritize which one I want to focus on.
Some other things that I really enjoy are hiking, skiing, reading, investing, watching soccer, dancing salsa and bachata,
