Breakout Room 

It's a feature in Zoom where the host can divide the participants into randomized groups. When it comes to online school, it is the worst thing on the planet. On the surface it sounds like a decent idea, but when you have classes with only a few friends and a lot of students who you know never do any work, it's all on you to get anything done. You have to have pretty good RNG to be paired with students who will actually also do work.
Teacher: Alright guys, I'm going to be putting you guys into breakout rooms for the next five minutes.
Student A: Great, time to try and be productive for a whole five minutes while no one else does anything.
Student B: *Says nothing because he isn't even in the room*

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
