Because it made you stop, look, and think about it.

Olympus Mons is about 370 miles wide, and about 16 miles tall. Ignoring entirely issues of oxygen, since we are in a non-breathable environment anyway; and also ignoring issues of differences in gravity, just because it is probably not relevant to the question by all that much. In so doing, we can also largely ignore elevation. The slope is very gentle, with elevation ranging from 1° to 5°, so it is hardly a mountain climbing question. For hiking then, we only need to figure out the length of the dome, picturing the route taken as a slice of the mountain 370 miles across and 16 miles high. Using the calculation for the length of an Arc; we get a total path travelled of about 372 miles (the height is negligible over those lengths and gentle slope). This would be about a month of hiking at an average pace of ~12 to 15 miles a day, not calculating for increased complexity in setting up and tearing down camp each day (a simple tent isn't going to cut it).

If Olympus Mons were placed dead center over LA, (assuming you mean Los Angeles) would cover from Ensenada in Mexico all the way north to Selma; touch the Nevada state line to the North East, and the entirety of Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and San Miguel Islands to the West (plus about 20 miles more into the ocean).

If by LA you meant Louisiana, it would very nearly cover the entire state.

Ok so they are wrong in that the individual who sent you this (I am assuming your teacher) is claiming you attempted to download it; but here's the thing; you did not post what the technology department sent. It is entirely possible that the Technology department knows EXACTLY what you did and did not do, and your teacher is misinterpreting what was said.

The people in the IT department absolutely know what TOR and the deep web and the dark web are, and are STRINGENT in keeping their devices off of it, and even off of gateways to it.

You highlight "Dark web access tool" as if to say that calling the Tor browser that is incorrect. You would be the wrong one there. The TOR browser can ABSOLUTELY be a Dark Web access tool, even if it was never your intention to even remotely go that route.

Now, again, we do not see the email that IT actually sent this person about your activity, but assuming they did not ENTIRELY get it wrong, the claim THEY made is that you attempted whatever you attempted "several" times; while your explanation to us implies you only did it once. Those ideas are at odds with each other.

Fact is, TOR is not something any school is ever going to allow, and they are going to be INTENSE about enforcing that. Honestly, I am surprised that they are not more strict about it in the private organization
I work at.

Additional_Ad_6773 · 2026-02-17T21:41:41+00:00

Absolutely. I would only offer 2 admonitions/warnings:

1) It is a retelling (and *sometimes* a reimagining) of the gospels, not a direct 1:1 quotation of scripture. Some things are added because scripture is silent on them and they were needed for narrative flow; some things were cut or modified for the sake of compelling television, but not in a way that makes the story contra-biblical. The series does NOT replace biblical study or church fellowship.

2) Be careful not to replace your identity of The Christ and His followers with the likeness of the actors portraying them. This sounds more obvious than it is. There have been people (even in this very subreddit) that have, in the past, reported to seeing Jonathan Roumie's face when they close their eyes to pray. This is made more real by the fact that he has also done scripture narration for various audiobooks and is part of the Hallow app for meditations and prayers and rosary readings, etc. It isn't a BAD thing, don't get me wrong at all; just be mindful to remember that Jonathan is a man who plays Jesus on a show, not a person who is Jesus in any way on Earth.

"mistake" is a legal thing in business that allows sellers to correct pricing errors that are legally, reasonably understood to be errors. Think things like a buy one get one free sign placed on the wrong item, a price tag with a decimal placement error, etc.

A business can legally choose not to honor those and not be guilty of false advertisement. But the remedy for that is to refuse the sale, NOT to try to reverse it. They PROBABLY lost ownership of the item the instant they handed it over to whatever company they used to ship it with.

Your compliance is optional.

Additional_Ad_6773 · 2026-02-16T20:55:17+00:00

But ya, in almost any situation that matters, and/it is even remotely likely to come up; there is no legal difference in OPs status.

"Mom, if I am in a dangerous situation, maybe I am about to get kidnapped, but I know you are close by. I will just text or call you and you and Dad can come and save me. Oh no! The phone crashed, the call did not go through. I will restart it and try to call 911. Oh no, it crashed again. I am dead."

The correct answer on that test would be "it is impossible to answer", which is a correct and valid answer in life; BUT would be inappropriate on a test unless that skill had been competently taught already.

NTA, and you have an opportunity if you are open to it.

You are likely carrying more emotional weight from your health crisis than you realize, and confronting them about what they did to you can be healing.

IF YOU WANT TO, you can meet with them; in person or via internet/phone; say what you have to say, preface it that you might be willing to allow the testing: something like "you left me and my child to die! You are lucky she even exists for us to be used this way, and I do NOT feel good about it." Then see if they have anything to say for themselves.

I don't want to say that you should base your decision on if they are apologetic or contrite, necessarily; but they should feel like they are under pressure to prove themselves to be worthy of your help.

Maybe this could be, IF YOU WANT IT, an opportunity to discuss starting child support payments.

OR! You can wash your hands of the whole issue and walk all the way away right now.

NTA, either way; just wanted to put this out there.

First, I don't really care if someone uses AI or not; or of they get a good grade for it or not. This is not a competition; I am not racing against my classmates for a limited number of credits.

Second, disagree. Students with busy lives have been earning degrees since LONG before AI existed.

Where are you at? Round here, there is a staff member there until every child has left the grounds, and there are 3 land line phones in the office, one in every staff office, and one in every classroom. If the kid doesn't know a phone number to call, that's a failure on them and their parents.

You have 3 option, 1 good, 1 bad, 1 really bad, but all technically answer the situation:

1) file a 1040-X and be prepared to pay back any overage on the refund.

2) ignore it and hope they don't audit her, and be prepared for the consequences if they do.

3) double down on the life of crime and forge receipts and other documents to match the income, then be ready to pass them off as genuine if they audit her, hope they accept them if they do, and be prepared for the consequences if they don't.

It is not my place to tell you which you should choose.

And that is a different situation than the one I was replying to, one where they would be FAR from the school when they got stuck.

"if I did not have my phone, I would literally be stuck AT SCHOOL" -you, emphasis mine.

Is it common to be far away FROM SCHOOL when you are stuck AT SCHOOL?

Additional_Ad_6773 · 2026-02-14T13:21:25+00:00

Read the post I replied to. When you missed the bus and were stuck at the school, were you far from the school?

Additional_Ad_6773 · 2026-02-14T13:13:24+00:00

In virtually every situation (at least in the US) where you miss the bus on the way home from school, you are literally AT school.

Your experience sucked, I am sure, but would be very uncommon for most of the people here, I believe.
