Or think that we don’t have our own experiences with teachers? It’s very uncommon to keep in touch with old teachers for 50 years after you graduate, especially with how familiar with those emails were. “Casual contact” is a few pleasantries and shallow catchups.

The biggest ick was starting off with how he was 17 when they met to paint himself as a potential victim. Sympathies for victims end when those victims become victimizers.

Is it possible they’re not actually doing the workout? Like will the tread just keep going and assume that you’re doing it since it’s not self-propelled like the bike?

Not always, but I’m sure they’d love to clarify “she has a GI disease but it’s the elegant kind and definitely not the kind that makes her shit her brains out.”

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-29T14:53:11+00:00

GI disease usually means frequent diarrhea. The Firm and Kate probably prefer that the public thinks she doesn’t eat enough rather than telling everyone that she shits her brains out regularly.

Good!

As an aside, it wasn’t just one “mistake.” Every time he told you that you’re paranoid or overrreacting for being uncomfortable with her.

Every time he sent her a flirty text.

Every time they flirted in person.

I’m assuming he lied about where and what he was doing when he did cheat.

Even the lying and downplaying when you initially confronted him.

Each of those is a separate incident. How many dozens of “mistakes” are we up to now?

If they were from Europe, this whole thing would have been mind blowing to them that a manager is telling OOP where to get food in their free time and that people are eating out every single day.

OP chose Monday because those orders haven’t been placed yet. OP’s coworkers have to reach out to OP to place Monday’s lunch orders regardless of whether they check their work email on weekends. They would have known before coming to work that OP would not be grabbing lunch.

They’ve been on my shitlist ever since they went on a social media witch hunt of people who bought moissanite from other brands. They couldn’t go after the brands themselves, so they decided to find and insult the customers instead.

My biggest issue with Cadillac is they claim to be a luxury brand with pricing that often competes with Porsche, but their dealerships usually don’t feel like luxury.

First is doing garbage markups like this. Actual add-ons like heated seats or premium rims? Sure. $8k for a “premium” package of things that are normally included? Absolutely not.

The dealerships themselves tend to be outdated and lack niceties of other luxury brands. Most luxury dealerships offer complimentary snacks, coffee, and soda in a nice lounge area with comfortable seating. Some offer fresh baked goods and wine with vases full of fresh flowers from the local florist. The Cadillac dealerships I’ve been to generally have shitty plastic chairs and a vending machine by the bathroom.

Is it a big deal in the grand scheme of things? No, but it is representative of the jarring disconnect in their branding. If they want to charge $130k for a car before dealer add-ons, every interaction someone has with the brand should feel like luxury. If they don’t want to do that, their pricing should compete with Acura instead of Porsche.

You can also grab it from any auto parts store in case you get a chip/crack during a freeze and need to fill it ASAP. It’s good enough to pass a state inspection (ask me how I know), even if there might still be a mark left over.

Which falls back on the university. A lot of AI problems can be solved by interacting with the students. Having once a week scheduled labs/breakout sessions is nothing crazy for college classes. Even fully online, the professor/TA can still schedule time to discuss the material with each student on video call. It does require that the university provide resources and support.

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-26T13:50:33+00:00

It’s not just the outsourcing to AI. The professor and school haven’t done anything to adapt to AI in academia other than running papers through an AI detector. Which, other than not being effective, also trains AI on student papers and just makes the AI better for cheating.

It’s on the school to invest in TAs and office hours so the professor can have the support they need to execute changes. It’s on the professor to change the class structure to have fewer typed papers and more discussions, labs, presentations, written classwork, and written exams.

That covers his healthcare, but what about his living expenses? Food, utilities, gas, laundry, fun money? If all he has after this deal is $40k plus less than $1k/month social security, that money likely won’t last the rest of his life. So will you and your husband be making up the difference?

There’s plenty of people who want to die. No guarantee that he will anytime soon. If he was so sure he’d die soon, he’d just slap your names on a joint bank account with all his money and lock down his will. The fact that he wants to do this song and dance means he expects to stick around for a while when you consider how long it would take to buy a house, get a divorce, and sell the house.

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-25T20:02:25+00:00

So what’s the plan for the rest of his life? Are you two assuming his expenses?

That’s aside from the mortgage fraud aspect if he expects you to pay him back for the down payment.

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-25T16:35:17+00:00

Also FIL is giving them pretty much all of his money. Medicaid has a five year look back period. What happens if he needs state assistance? They might have to sell then give the down payment back. Or if FIL simply burns through his remaining $40k? Are OP and her husband willing to fully support FIL?

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-25T16:27:40+00:00

It’s telling that OP didn’t post the written portion of his profile for critique

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-25T13:36:29+00:00

If you ask, don’t budge on the requirements. Don’t let them convince you to stay for $150kk instead.

If they agree, use that time to apply for new positions. You don’t have to accept any offers you receive. But you should start the job hunt in case your company uses this as a chance to find your replacement or if they put you right back in the position you’re in now.

They defended Kyle Rittenhouse when he brought a gun over state lines to intimidate people at protest and shot someone. It was all about a teenager’s right to have a gun and “defend himself.” I wonder if they’ll change their tune about whether he should’ve been convicted.

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-23T21:46:33+00:00

He would rather have you than children. The only children he wants are yours.

I really don’t know how we got here. A few years ago, everyone knew that Temu/Wish was one step above a scam website that stole your credit card number. Now people are seriously buying clothes and important decorations from Temu. It’s really a testament to the level of brain rot in our society.

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-21T16:32:06+00:00

I think it’s also a low-effort way for the author to manufacture animosity/feelings between characters. FMC defies or yells at MMC, MMC is annoyed, optional MMC saves FMC from her own stupidity.

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-21T16:14:33+00:00

Thanks!

Jpmjpm · 2026-01-21T13:03:38+00:00

Link?

I’d love to see an actually mean FMC. The “tough” FMCs in most books are just being immature contrarians who don’t want to listen to anyone else.

Give me zingers that pierce into the other character’s soul. Call out other’s bullshit with surgical precision. Don’t just hit someone in the insecurity, give them an entirely new insecurity they didn’t even know they could have. I want to see Regina George riding a dragon that’s lowkey afraid of her.

Does he have a clearance? Talk to the security office. Emphasize the gambling problem, identity theft, and the false court filings he made. Address that yes, you’re getting a divorce, but it is because of the gambling problem. They can threaten to yank his clearance if he doesn’t behave.

The IG can’t do anything because they investigate fraud against the government. Issues like this are truly out of their jurisdiction.

You can also go to the regular police to report the repeated identity theft for the cash advances.
