Hello! I'd like to know if it's possible to have left aligned text and center aligned text in a post. I'm having difficulty figuring it out with this new site.

Indeed it is. 
We have buttons for left aligned, center aligned, right aligned, and justified.
You can find them on the buttons bar above the text box, here (yours may not have Source yet):

What exactly is "source"? I can click the buttons but I can't have one section be left alligned and another be centered. It affects everything in my post not just the highlighted part. @Kaerri

Source is what's used to enter HTML, which unlocks at 500 posts.
Have you tried highlighting a particular section to align?

Yep just double checked and it's the same. Shows on the top that something is left aligned when I click on it but when I highlight a particular part and click a different alignment the whole post moves. I think this may possibly be a bug regarding the source option. I'm not sure if there's anything you guys could do to make the basic options editable without source. But I think it would be reasonable to request the base options to have more flexibility than this.

I exercised my Mighty Admin Powers (tm) and tried editing your post. Exactly what you're describing happened to me: whether I had nothing highlighted, something highlighted, or everything highlighted, the whole text moved when I changed the alignment. I think you're right, this seems more like a bug.
@The Dark Wizard Any idea why it's doing that?

Try switching alignment before typing?
(On mobile, so i don't know if that had anything to do with my ability to do this?)

I think its the RTE working with the HTML paragraphs it creates. It needs to create an new paragraph within the code for the new alignment to take effect. That or the span style it generates.

Sorry for tiny gif :x @Kaerri
as you can see I'm unable to assign different alignments. I did try what @punkinblackk suggested but no luck
I'm running on:
Chrome
Windows 7
Night Life Theme

Try highlighting everything, then making them bullets (the dots and lines next to the Alignment buttons). Then remove the buttons and see if that will let you make different alignments.

@HarleyQuip So, we're experimenting. I've found that if you place all your text as bulleted (the option on your editor with the two dots after the eye/spoiler) and then remove them from being bulleted, it seems to clear that issue. Not a true solution, but it's an option right now to get past that formatting issue temporarily.

@HarleyQuip Query: Are you just hitting enter for line breaks or are you using shift+enter?

Alright lets test test this @Kaerri
and this
and this
anddddd this
That's an odd little quirk
There's a new problem now, any time I go to the first line of text it won't let me not highlight a letter. And it does it every time I try to go to the beginning of a line

Is it everywhere, or just when you were trying the bullet-list fix?

Okay, this is a shot in the dark for the highlight issue; does it highlight only one letter? If it does, try typing something and tell me if it is removing the next letters with what you type. If so, you might have accidentally hit your insert key which initiates a function called a "type over" (overtype actually, derp) and will highlight a single letter wherever you click.

@The Dark Wizard(how do u get such high quality gif from video?)No idea why this text is underlining and linking to picture. But yes @Fyuri it's acting as if I hit insert but I haven't.
I use https://getsharex.com/ to take my own gifs and screenshots and it gets uploaded to a server of mine instantly and it automatically puts a share link in my clipboard which I just paste here.

wow... that's pretty convenient I'm having cropping issues with my video editor which is causing me to do more work than necessary which also causes the image to get compressed way too much

Yeah, that was really my only guess to a possible reason for that annoying highlighting behavior.
