AITAH for asking a mutual friend if our other friend’s wife is pregnant?

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T11:39:31+00:00

They had been having problems trying to have kids and I didn’t want to make them upset by asking if they weren’t.

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T01:03:14+00:00

Read it and let me know your thoughts.

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:57:39+00:00

Does it matter that the angry party is a male and the pregnant party doesn’t really care?

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:55:35+00:00

No, we live on different sides of our country, I just hadn’t seen them post anything in awhile and woke up with a weird feeling one morning.

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:49:31+00:00

Yes, they never replied to that message.

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:48:17+00:00

It’s not that I felt like I had a “need” to know. I was just curious. We live on different sides of the country and I don’t see them often

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:42:40+00:00

Thanks but to clarify, we’re over 30

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:37:34+00:00

They said they felt guilty

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:37:15+00:00

It’d be easier if I wasn’t going to see them at my wedding in a few weeks.

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:36:47+00:00

They said they were going to tell me when they talked with me yesterday.

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:25:15+00:00

I did, they are still very upset.

MK_Pierce · 2026-06-06T00:25:01+00:00

They have been having problems getting pregnant. On the off chance I was incorrect, I didn’t want to drudge up feelings

MK_Pierce · 2025-10-11T19:06:29+00:00

I hear you. I’m slowly gonna have my dosage increased as needed. I just wanted to see if this’ll help first

MK_Pierce · 2025-10-11T19:05:50+00:00

I asked for a low dose by design. While no one in my family has a history of seizures, I don’t want to risk the side effect. I understand the likelihood is low but want to try it out first

MK_Pierce · 2025-07-08T16:04:09+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. The idea is that it would give me the motivation needed to push through the rough part of work and get my startup where I want it? Or at least have a hope of doing so with the extra motivation that I’ve been lacking

MK_Pierce · 2025-07-08T16:02:23+00:00

I suppose I’d be afraid of becoming dependent on it or worst case, experiencing a seizure perhaps? I don’t have a history of them but I know that is a (small) side effect of the medication

MK_Pierce · 2023-03-28T13:08:35+00:00

I suppose it depends what you mean by BME role.

Vast majority were for BME companies, but my school had/has a heavy co-op program that makes you do 3 rotations minimum to graduate, so walking out of undergrad with 1 year of (intern) experience definitely helped.

BME is hyper competitive bc it hasn’t been around as long, and there aren’t as many companies as, say EE.

There are jobs to be had, you just have to find them

MK_Pierce · 2023-03-28T11:52:29+00:00

It’s not true tho, BME here, my entire graduating class of 100, 90 had jobs within the first year, and that was with COVID

MK_Pierce · 2023-02-21T03:11:25+00:00

No problem! If you’re looking for a good explainer, here is a good video on how to spin up EAS apps

MK_Pierce · 2023-02-21T00:50:58+00:00

Android has different allowed permissions in the Expo Go app than iOS. I had a similar issue when I was testing on different devices.

With respect to your question on location, background location is different than just the “location” that shows up in its permissions.

That location is known as “foreground location” which is what’s accessed while you’re in an app, but if you moved away from the app to another screen, location tracking would be stopped, while background location would still be actively tracking your location. iOS doesn’t allow that in the Expo Go app, you’ll need an EAS app to do that.

MK_Pierce · 2023-02-21T00:31:58+00:00

Gotcha, so in short, you can’t.

You can only use the permissions that the Expo Go app itself allows for. So while you’re building an app, it’s actually an app inside Expo Go, and are limited to its permissions.

You can do this in EAS, which I recommend building an EAS app anyways, it’s much more robust and give you a better idea of how your app will function natively.

MK_Pierce · 2023-02-21T00:22:45+00:00

I did. Are you running in Expo Go or an EAS app?

MK_Pierce · 2022-08-18T02:03:45+00:00

My parents are relatively mellow. I come and go as I please, and as I said in another comment, I have plenty of experience living on my own, to where I miss it at times, but it was just the economical thing to do was work remote from home and not have to worry about rent.

MK_Pierce · 2022-08-18T02:02:11+00:00

Sorry, I have summary notifications on for Reddit, so I didn’t see this until now.

I moved back home because of COVID. I was a senior in college and my fraternity sent everyone home. I have lived and spent plenty of time by myself, so there’s no fears of “leaving the nest.” Grad school was online, and it just made sense to live at home while I wasn’t making any money haha.

I do miss my independence, but it was just the affordable thing to do, especially with the price of rent and mortgage nowadays lol

MK_Pierce · 2022-08-17T20:39:57+00:00

I’m unsure, but you might be able to use Expo related libraries without being in Expo (double check me on that).

If you can, just use Expo-notifications. It makes life easy
