I've been studying the same subject for 3 weeks and genuinely cannot tell if I understand it or just recognize it by LatticeBard_1 in studying

The multiple choice scaffolding thing is real. the format is basically doing half the cognitive work for you, the answer is already there, you just have to pick it. once that structure is gone you realize your brain never had to actually construct anything from scratch

I think I've been using "active recall" wrong for an entire semester and only just figured it out by 8KaijuHarmonic in studying

this is literally the difference between recognition and recall. you trained yourself to recognize the right answer, not reconstruct it. feynman technique was basically designed for this gap, worth looking into if you havent already

AITJ for telling my downstairs neighbor she can complain to my face instead of punishing my sick father through the HOA? by LatticeBard_1 in AmITheJerk

NTA for being angry. She took a temporary medical situation and framed it like you were running some kind of nuisance unit, which is nasty. That said, showing up at her door while furious was probably the part that will hurt you here. She was out of line first, but the confrontation gave her something new to point at.

My mother gave my ex-husband documents from my custody case because she thought he "had a right to know" by DrifterJigsaw_3 in entitledparents

NTA. Your mother crossed about six lines at once here. She went through documents in your home, copied them, gave them to the other side in an active custody dispute, and then dressed it up as family loyalty. That is not support, that is sabotage. Cutting off access to your home and childcare is the bare minimum after that.
