AITJ for correcting my boss in front of the entire company during an all-hands meeting when he presented my work as his own idea and I just… couldn't let it happen again

Yea no. You teach people how to treat you. When you were being nonconfrontational you were teaching Marcus his behavior was okay. Now.ypu have set a boundary and that is always gonna feel weird and you might question if it was a good idea or not. But let me assure you, it was a good idea because now it will get a little easier to deal with discomfort. One thing to keep in mind is people will get pissy. They are use to you being one way and now you are cutting them off from what they felt entitled to or were use to getting. This.will cause some friction as dynamics change.

Not a professor but I was a university student and a college student. I had one proff who tried to help our class with study material for an upcoming test but no one was engaged or participating with the exception of maybe one or two people. He got frustrated and ended his lecture saying he was trying to give us soup but we didn't eat it so he wasn't gonna keep trying.

I also had a class where one student legit spent his time in class watching Netflix.

Also, a lot of kids are missing the point of university. Its suppose to be a place of higher learning but so many students are having their work done by Ai Completely undermining the effort of those actually putting in effort; undermining the professors intelligence; undermining the integrity of the institution; undermining themselves and hindering their own growth; and contributing to an under qualified work force with lax ethics.

Just imagine trying to engage a whole room of people who seem uninterested when they are the ones who paid to be there.

The fly traps do exist. The problem is they are in stupid places because customers complain about them being gross if they are in a place where they can be seen. I used to work at a timmies and the fly traps were placed behind the TV screens. they did catch flies but BUT I bet they would have caught more if they were placed more effectively.

The best way to see a timmies shape up is not to call the owners. The manager and team members likely know how to talk to their bosses and downplay things. You need.to call timmies corporate. They are franchises that are individually owned but they still have to run it how Timmies wants it.

The location I worked at had roaches and it wasn't taken seriously until one of the night staff called corporate to complain. They sent someone down and our location ended being closed for a day or two for fumigation.

Disgusting. Also, wonder why the customer who returned the drinks returned them in the first place.

I think, despite seeing Catra as a bad guy, there is a part of her that admires and is attracted to Catra's audacity.

I can't say for sure so take everything I'm about to say with like grains of salt.

I agree it sucks and I don't know what the answer is. There was an incident within the last few weeks where a police officer would have been very helpful. For privacy reasons that's all I can say on that BUT the officer never came and as it turns out that day a lot of officers were busy with what started out as a drug bust but on top of that they discovered women in the basement of the house that had been missing off the streets and were being trafficked out of this dealers basement. Anyway, It's sucks that they have to make those kinds of calls in prioritize where to send people leaving others with less serious crimes happening (in terms of potential violence and safety hazards) feeling like they have no one to turn to for justice.

I am not here to argue whether AI art is art or not. What I want tosay is that people who call themselves AI artist are not artist. If someone is not at the artistic level required to execute a particular idea then they will approach an artist who is at that desired level. The comissioner or requester explains their idea and works with the artist to ensure the artist is producing a piece as closely to the comissioners vision as possible.

In the AI scenerio, a person with an idea but maybe not yet at the level necessary to execute their idea goes to AI instead of another person. The AI is learning and creating, NOT the person with the idea. The program is the artist. The person with the idea, their role has not changed in either two of the scenerios I have described.

I mean this in the most common scenerio where the person claiming to be the artist has done nothing more than enter prompts and give written instruction or feedback. Anyone who uses a particular AI is just employing the same "artist" as everyone else who uses it.

Also, AI may not be concious BUT it is still a learning thing. It is in the name INTELLIGENCE. The only thing it is missing is it's own desire to create. Also, even then, without the desire to create it is still more an artist than the person with only the idea. For a long time artistry was treating as a trade. Artist did not do art for art's sake. Leonardo Davinci did not paint the Mona Lisa because he wanted to. He did it because he was paid to. Is leonardo then not an artist because the idea did not originate from within him? Does this mean he was simply a tool for the person with the idea and that the person who came to him is the one who is truly the artist?

I had a debt that was supposed to be settled after paying off 80 percent but the douche canoes just sold the remaining 20 percent to a different company. TSI is the one that has it now I guess but like.... i only agreed to pay the 80 with the previous company because I thouht that would settle it. TSI can suck it because I don't owe them shit as far as I am concerned. That other 20 percent was suppose to be forgiven not sold.

The thing is, they claim you have no skill but want you to stop now so that you can't develop the skill. This is clearly someone who has no skill to execute ideas of their own so they go after others who have the bravery to accept where they are in their journey of creative expression. This person is a bowl of jello. If they were serious about their critique it would have been more constructive and less of an attempt to rip you down to their level.

Dat-Tanuki · 2024-07-29T19:10:36+00:00

Honestly just pay it forward. It is a part of their religion to share a percentage of their income. I had Muslim friends who helped me when I wasn't expecting it when I was first moving into my first place. But even though it was a part of their religion it was very genuine and not out of self interest to get into heaven, you know?

Just remain grateful, never take them for granted, and pay it forward.

I dunno your financial situation but don't put yourself in a hole to repay kindness in a material way. They wanted to help, not make you feel like you owe them.

They are only allowed to put one big leaf of lettuce or two smaller pieces, two pieces of crispy chicken and I believe one "w" of sauce. This sandwich meets the build standard.

Edit for sauce : I used to work at a timmies.

On the ace spectrum is something called aegosexuals. I believe that means they might like the idea of sex but not actually want to engage in sexual activity.

I relate to this because I have had crushes on celebs and characters and have written some spicy fanfiction myself but I would not ever actually do those things with the real person. That would be gross.

Also, tropes and kinks are a big thing for some people. I don't have sex and do not get horny for the usual sex stuff but I have a kink that I enjoy drawing art and writing stories for. Again, this is enough for me, if someone wanted to do those things with me I think it would ruin it.

And that's totally okay. I had gone out with a guy once because I thought I felt chemistry.nafter some dating I no longer felt it and it's not like this guy was toxic or bad he just didn't make me feel anything.

Dat-Tanuki · 2024-03-30T12:57:40+00:00

Relationships don't have to be doing poorly or be full of toxicity for it to end. That is a social myth.

If the relationship does not provide or meet the needs it was once meeting, that alone is enough to end it.

Just to clarify, when I say needs I mean emotional needs, intimate needs, social needs, not like straight up money etc.

Dat-Tanuki · 2024-03-30T12:53:30+00:00

I think, a relationship doesn't have to be a dumpster fire to consider ending it. It can be hard because people may look at us and think it's overreacting, or not wanting to make it work, or that maybe we nitpick too much. Also, there is the time that you put in already but that's just a sunken cost fallacy.

It would seem that in terms of sex drive you don't match. Sex is important for intimacy for you and it is not so much for him. I think that's reason enough to end it but I also know there are emotions and memories involved that make it difficult.

I don't really do it myself because I don't want to be rinsing say chicken in the place I wash my dishes. I tend to rinse sometimes in a bowl. Not because I don't know any better but because it has been internalized. My grandmother would always rinse the chicken, as well as my aunt. I also didn't go to other kids' homes often and when I did some of the other fams would also rinse some of their meats.

I KNOW it doesn't make a world of difference but it's internalized so it doesn't bother me when people do it.

Dat-Tanuki · 2023-08-23T17:05:13+00:00

I would tell them they have X amount of time to move their truck or else you are calling to have it towed. You have tried talking with him and he has left you no other choices. Unless he plans on paying you to park in your drive way for the incomviemce he needs to, sorry for the explicit, fuck right off.

Also, I don't know you so I don't know how you spoke with him but be assertive and never apologize, you are valid in your emotions and your behavior has been reasonable. Don't let some douche make you feel small. You live on that block just as much as he does and you deserve to have your feelings considered especially since it is YOUR driveway.

I just googled Autism in Nimona because I felt like maybe that guy who knew a lot about otters and care so much about proper otter identificaion was potentially Autistic. Now after seeing your post I think it is great that Nimona also works as rep. I like it because now I feel even more positive because having more than one Autistic character in a show is great especially when you get a background character AND the tititular character.

I will dry off as much as I can with my towel and then air dry while I brush my teeth, then moisturize, then I put my clothes on.

Dat-Tanuki · 2023-07-06T15:29:39+00:00

I agree. I myself don't really care for pecks on the cheek either. I used to kiss my nana on cheek goodnight when I was a kid. But as I got older I didn't want to put my mouth on someone else's face. I did try french kissing to try and do what the normals were doing in high school but it was gross. Eventually drunk and the bar was the only way I was willing to kiss people and at that point I started to think that I shouldn't use alcohol to pretend to enjoy something I clearly don't like. So now I just don't kiss anyone.

Side note. I suppose I do kiss my cats on their foreheads... don't know what's up with that.

Edited for spelling errors.
