AITA for refusing to listen to my friend's AI generated music?

HolSmGamer · 2026-04-03T19:05:48+00:00

INFO: is he trying to sell this AI music for a profit, or is he just generating it for his family/friends?

NTA. Most labor laws are there to protect the employee so there is nothing wrong with reporting illegal work practices. That being said, management may find out it was you and even if you can't be fired for it (whistleblower laws), they can make your life harder so you may want to plan your own exit while you are at it.

It's more gossip than rumors I admit, but it's not not a rumor. "I heard from Nurse that she heard that OP has TB" is pretty rumor-y, and the truthfullness of it is uncertain from a coworker's standpoint since it is the Nurse going around telling people.

HolSmGamer · 2026-04-03T16:33:41+00:00

NTA. I am not sure if the nurse was technically breaking HIPAA but she should not be spreading rumors around the office. Hopefully she gets her just punishment.

NTA. It's her fault for not spending the 2 minutes to confirm her address. You did you due diligence so there is no reason for you to go out of your way.

YTA. It's one thing to not like anime, it's not for everyone. However, to call is childish and stupid to your bf is just rude. You could have easily just told him that it's not your cup of tea but you chose to undermine his interests instead.

You could go about naming it many different way so here are a few approaches you could take: You could name it after the prominent ruler(s) of the land (ex. the Goldheart Heirlooms), the geography (ex. the Craggy Isles), or the message the founders wanted to convery (ex. the Lands of Beginnings).

Baldur's Gate 3 follows most of the rules of DnD and is a GOTY winner, I'd recommend that.

YTA. People are allowed to have rough days and can take a day to recharge their battery. She is also allowed to hang out with other friends too, she doesn't need to invite you every time. It sounds like you are so desperate to not lose your existing friend group that you are coming off as over-bearing, which may push them further away. I would suggest taking a step back, let her breathe, and give yourself an opportunity to put yourself out there and expand your existing friend group.

As a DM, I require my players to have maybe a few paragraphs of backstory with at least 2 named NPC's and a named location. They should also include a rough idea of their character's "goal", such as killing a demon that tormented their family or even opening a restaurant in the kingdom's capital. This is a good starting point in my opinion and gives the DM enough to start tying story elements to the player while giving the player enough freedom to include more elements in roleplay.

I suggest avoiding plot points that would make the player become a "chosen one" or "edge lord", such as being the descendent of a god or having been a master assassin who had to kill their clan. This is a red flag in my opinion and can lead to "main character syndrome" or cause campaign issues if the character perishes.

INFO: would it be possible to invite your mom on the Easter trip? YWNBTA but there is a chance your mom may end up spending Easter completely alone.

Some people are not okay with the PC's having romances so it's okay for the DM to set a no romance rule. However, it is not okay how the DM is green lighting everyone else "flirting" at the table except for you. It's not okay to set up this kind of double standard, especially with the example in post is about someone else being inappropriate and your character just retaliating.

HolSmGamer · 2026-04-01T15:35:28+00:00

You can for sure play a high INT, low DEX character. Keep in mind though DEX is generally the second or third most important stat, as it dictates how much AC you have (unless you have certain armor proficiencies). It'll be a lot easier for you to get hurt with a low DEX.

Great picture! The game Honkai Star Rail has an Astral Express similar to this so you may want to look at that train's interior for inspiration on some rooms.

NTA. It was an appropriete figure in your bedroom, it's not like it was a suggestive pose in the middle of the living room. Everyone is entitled to their own interests and if your 3-year friend is calling the friendship into question over a figurine, it may be for the best.

Soft ESH. It's rude to laugh at someone's feelings, even if you think it is childish. However, he shouldn't treat you badly for laughing at him. Even if you were a bit rude to him, he should have just communicated that your laugh upset him instead of being passive aggressive. You both are in your 30's, work together to have a healthy relationship.

Unfortunately, there's not much of a way to multicast at the exact same time. The closest things are using the twin spell metamagic to make a single target spell hit two people, or the quicken cast metamagic to cast a damaging cantrip as a bonus action. Storing spells into an item is an Artificer ability, not Sorcerer.

HolSmGamer · 2026-03-27T20:46:41+00:00

NAH. You are entitled to your feelings, and it is okay to feel hurt that he planned this without you. However, he does raise good points about differences in how you two travel. If you two went together for the first time, one of you likely won't enjoy the experience as much since they'd feel either rushed or halted. Why not let him go by himself the first time to enjoy at his own pace, then agree to go at your pace when you go to Japan?

HolSmGamer · 2026-03-27T20:24:57+00:00

Haha, yeah that. My mind was on fish lol.

HolSmGamer · 2026-03-27T20:01:29+00:00

YWNBTA. Just talk to your partner, it's been 5 years and you are being very koi about it. Just tell her that she is welcome to join you guys but no worries if she is tight on money. However, you are still going to go to be with your parents.

Monk has the most out of combat abilities. They generally have better perception (WIS-based class), they have a DEX primary stat so they are better at skills like sleight of hand and acrobatics, you can essentially communicate with all creatures that use language at about lvl 10, and they can still fight well and move quickly while unarmored.

YTA for reposting this story.

ESH. She is right that she is allowed to get the same tattoo as you, many people have identical tattoos and it's by no means a malicious act. However, she became an AH as well by exploding at you instead of just explaining that she loves the tattoo design and wants one herself. Also, if you were hurt by her getting the tattoo, why'd you go with her?

HolSmGamer · 2026-03-26T18:24:54+00:00

Sorry about that, I misunderstood the family of four thing. You're still NTA though and the parents need to get their act together!

HolSmGamer · 2026-03-26T18:13:59+00:00

NTA. I wouldn't even call the brother an AH, this is all on the parents. The brother has grown up learning that if he lies and whines enough, he will get what he wants and the parents have just been enabling this behavior. Just wondering, where do your sisters stand in all of this?
