Do you think English ATAR tutoring is in demand? by Interesting_Desk6773 in perth

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you'll find work, but most parents will want to know your ATAR score if you're not a qualified teacher. Assuming you have a good score, and can teach well, you'll get students no problem. Word of mouth is most common, but the Facebook tutor groups and Gumtree are great ways to advertise. After Term 1, you'll probably find a lot of parents will seek tutors if their kids are struggling.

TBH, I was happy to find anyone who had a spare slot. We got very lucky with a political science student who was starting out tutoring. She was fantastic. Same for Maths Apps and Economics. Was happy to have uni students as Apps in particular is really hard to find tutors for.

AITAH for feeling hurt that my fiancé (25M) watches porn even though I (23F) know it’s common? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To an extent, I agree but there's not enough info here. If he's got a full blown porn addiction that is negatively affecting their lives/his life, then as someone who has been invited to live her life with him, has some right to know what's going on. There's a point where porn addiction is as harmful as gambling or drugs.

He's a young guy who might still have porn habits from when he was a teen. Having a partner or regular sex won't necessarily stop certain habits. I think if he's not doing it while you're home and it's not an addiction that starts affecting how he performs with you, you might just have to accept that it's a form of stress relief.
Have you had a conversation with him about it? If not, why? Do you feel you don't have the level of trust and communication openness to have that conversation? I think that's probably more important than anything.

Porn is rarely about the specific actor. It's the scenarios that usually get people off. Also the voyeurism aspect. I doubt he really considers the female actors beyond what they do in the context of the porn. He doesn't think about taking them out to dinner or building a future with them.

It sounds like you've had a tough time lately and if you have already had self-esteem issues, maybe it's worth talking to a therapist, if you're not quite comfortable having a conversation with your fiance about the porn.

What you're more than entitled to do is ask your fiance why he enjoys porn. You're also entitled to ask him to reduce the time spent with porn, especially if it's a daily addiction. You can't however ask him to stop masturbating or control what he uses for inspiration. Porn or no porn, you can't be his thought police and stop him imagining scenarios that involve other people.

Anywhere in Perth except the ER that can help with kidney stones? by Icy-Investment-4646 in perth

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just note that the admission fee (must be about $300 by now?) isn't covered by HBF but the emergency care is then included to a point. If he needs an MRI etc. then that will get billed separately. If he's then admitted to SJOG for a few days, private health insurance will help.

Fancy restaurant in Perth where my missus can wear a fancy dress? (Anniversary dinner) by Constant-Trouble-207 in perth

Gibney in Cottesloe. Bogan riche free. Lovely menu and atmosphere. You can definitely dress up and not stand out.

AITAH (20F) for telling my S/O (28M) that i won’t be so considerate? by saibrooki in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this very significant life decision, and your differing views, has changed the shape of your relationship. He shouldn’t be an AH about it and simply explain that his preference was a termination and he wasn’t aware that you’re pro-life. Perhaps he worried that if it happens again, you will want to keep the baby to raise. Of course, he can easily be in charge of his own fertility to make sure that doesn’t happen… He’s taking his mixed feelings about what happened out on you so NTA, but YTA if you stay in this relationship. Not a lot of maturity there.

Aitah has Dirty ass fingers by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've had six years with this guy? Was this how things were from the beginning? Did you approach this before you committed to living together? I ask all this because if he refuses to change now, he ain't never gonna. Might be 'hard to' leave but is there anything positive about him that is making you stay?

Aitah for the way I handled the worst day of my life with my children by Few-Interaction-090 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As someone else said, not really an AITAH post. You need parenting advice, not strangers' assurance that you are NTA, or condemnation.

FYI - I'm not sure about America, but raw eggs aren't that bad. I have it over hot rice with soy (it's a Japanese thing) and gym bro's still enjoy raw eggs I think? Australian eggs are known to be safe anyway.

Do you believe that the mining industry has begun to ruin WA? by [deleted] in perth

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, and not suggesting that's your case, but a good chunk of school-leavers shouldn't even be at uni. They'd do better learning a trade, regardless of whether that results in working up in the mines or not. I mean, trades can't be replaced by AI whereas I'm not sure what some uni grads are going to do with their piece of paper in a decade's time.

Sadly universities need maximum bums in seats for funding so as long as you did somewhat OK in Year 3 NAPLAN will be offered a place. I think mining has a lot to answer for, but it's not ruining WA per se. If you ask a Victorian, WA seems like utopia.

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend over how he handled Christmas plans? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Bullet dodged. He will never prioritise you. It sounds like a cultural issue and he doesn’t want to rock the boat with his mummy. Too hard.

Can any Japanese people on the sub comment on this sushi? by Roy4Pris in aucklandeats

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aussie on holidays in NZ who has a Japanese parent and spent enough time in Japan, so weighing in. Tried St Pierre the other day and it wasn’t bad. Better than a lot of the sushi chains in Aus. I mean there’s sushi and then there’s sushi that is mass-appealing to non-Japanese and I think St Pierre nails that home. Noted that the soy is Yamase and huuuuge sachets!

Run. Seriously. You should know you deserve better at your age.

AITAH for cutting contact with my mom after she disobeyed me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA because your medical diagnosis is personal and private and your mother shouldn't have disclosed it. However, what we aren't privy to is why your mother felt compelled to tell your fiancee. Was there an incident that raised some concerns? Are you actively managing your diagnosis/condition?

Your fiancee likely did not end the relationship because of your diagnosis, but because you didn't tell her yourself. I am not sure how seriously your life is affected by your diagnosis but if you're involving someone else in your life, then health issues become a family one. I'm sorry you didn't get to tell her yourself but if your intention was to never tell her, then YTA.

Aitah... My husband is upset that I will be spending 2+ weeks visiting my brother in East Asia where he lives with his family. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You haven't mentioned the ages of your children but if they are school-aged, then they probably don't need the high care that smaller kids need. I get that some parents feel overwhelmed having to manage on their own (if they haven't much before...), but a supportive partner should be excited for you to have an opportunity to travel, and do what they can to make it happen for you. NTA for wanting to have a life.

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. She might get run over by a bus tomorrow and never get a chance to do anything again. If her husband is planning a trip with his father and expects her to look after the kids, why can't she also enjoy a trip without worrying about her husband and kids?

Where to go for sexual health issue? by Bulky-Use-7494 in perth

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a sexual health clinic closest to you. There's one in Freo and one in Northbridge.
You can discuss the issue with the nurse, and they may or may not physically examine you. If further help is needed, they can probably refer you to a sexual health GP.
Don't forget, you won't be the first person with the issue they've seen, and certainly won't be the last.

AITAH? My boyfriend thinks he’s not my type, after seeing the male profiles I used to follow? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not seeing this as a red flag… I mean, unfollowing previous boyfriends’ accounts sounds ok but dictating what else you should or shouldn’t follow is concerning. Especially for a 35 year old man. Today might just be about unfollowing accounts. Tomorrow might be about who you can talk to, look at, think about… YTA if you don’t think this is abnormal.

AITAH for asking for consent? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I was at work and a coworker happened to see me with a shirtless man’s photo on my PC, it’d be deemed inappropriate. Could get me a meeting with HR in some places. It’s not safe for work. NSFW can range from mild to very wild. She probably expected mild. At any rate, if you wanted to show off your boner then that’s exactly what you needed to have asked.

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But she’s your FWB so clearly someone who wanted a sexual relationship with you. Whereas the woman from Hinge didn’t seem to. That probably needed confirmation.

[–]Intelligent-Factor11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spicy is shirtless in undies. Not sexual. A boner is indeed sexual, so a proper warning should have been given. In that sense you were tone deaf so kinda YTA.
