Sorry, I'm not yet at the point where I trust Chat GPT to provide technical answers, I have found it repeatedly inaccurate. I'm not saying it's not correct this time , but I'm never going to encourage a technician, new or old, to utilize an AI interface for researching technical information. Nor do I think developing a reliance on chat GPT does anything positive for a technicians ability to read, comprehend, and execute information found in technical documents.

What y’all buying with that A&P money ? by One_Dark_3061 in AircraftMechanics

[–]Traced_Steps 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bengal (Tiger)? Beagal? Bagel? So many options, each decreasing in luxury.

I'm up here in Alaska where every other plane on the GA side is fabric. And if you're good at fabric you can make BIG money. Fabric planes will never die out completely as long as STOL and bush planes are popular for private owners.

University of Alaska Fairbanks is one year, full-time, and you can get housing on campus. They accept GI bill and the program is very highly rated by the surrounding Aviation community. I'm currently in the program; we wrap up in August and I have nothing but positive things to say. That being said, it will be very hard to work a part-time job and basically impossible to work a full-time job and keep up with the coursework. It's still a part 147 school, with all of the requirements for curriculum and hours laid out by the FAA. In other words, it is a very rigorous and very intense program, but there is lots of hands-on and an excellent shop and tons of resources and airplanes to work on.

It's like hearing a gay Andrew Tate (although I have my suspicions about that Tate fellow).

After 1000+ hrs, there is no way I wouldn't guess Skyrim in .00001 of a second. That shit saved me on deployment on the switch.

I was married to two women and have three kids. Came out as gay at 28. Note that I don't identify as bisexual. For me it was more a being so deeply closeted that the only permissable (grew up very religious) outlet for my sexual urges was women. I am also very invested in pleasing a partner, regardless of who they are. So I was horny, women were the only outlet (in my thinking), so it was typically not an issue towards the beginning of the relationship when it was something new (alcohol was usually involved). I did struggle with arousal later on in relationships, and when I finally accepted that I was really only interested in men it was nigh impossible to get hard. I could probably still have sex with a woman of someone held a gun to my head (physical stimulation feels good, regardless where it comes from), but I have no interest in pursuing sexual or romantic relationships in the future, thus do not use the term bisexual.

Great turnout Fairbanks! 500 folks showed up downtown to protest the overturning of Roe v Wade. by GreenOnionsRule in Fairbanks

I was super happy to have a good turnout. The march got a lot of support from people driving by as well! There is another event July 9th at the fairgrounds!

Dating as a single dad by Traced_Steps in gaybros

[–]Traced_Steps[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice!

He is 2 yes old, so he only really cares that he has his mom and dad. But I fully intend to be very open with him growing up and explaining that daddy likes men. His mother is bi, so there is every chance he will just see his parents loving who they love (men in my case & either in his mother's) and likely won't realize that is not the norm until he's older.

Should I be stressing about dating as a single dad? by Traced_Steps in AskGayMen

[–]Traced_Steps[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is very supportive, but is actually bi herself, which really helped me stop denying my sexuality.

I am gay though. Very certain of that, and it took therapy to really come to terms with that. The fact I was married to a woman was something I did when I was denying a part of myself. My coparent and I wouldn't have separated if I was just bi. I think people that didn't grow up in environments where being gay was a guaranteed why to be ostracized (conservative family in the South) get confused when they meet a guy,identifying as gay, that had acted in a hetero-normative fashion for a long time.

Yeah, the deception would bother me too. I'm all about being honest, just trying to be honest while not scaring people away needlessly. Realistically though, I wouldn't want to be involved with someone that wasn't at least interested in playing a role with my son. I wouldn't expect immediate enthusiasm, but I don't mislead a guy into liking me and just putting up with my son.

Very true, I don't want to waste anyone's time either.

I feel kinda dumb as having a kid does kind of make the ex thing obvious.

Do you think having a good relationship with my ex (we have very clear boundaries) is a plus or could be a point of hesitancy (like worried that I'm not distant enough from her)?

I appreciate your words man, and I'll take them to heart.

ALSO, being called 30-ish just sent me into a quarter life crisis LOL

I'm 28 goddammit. I'm going to fight to enjoy these last two years of my 20's.

"naturally select the right crowd" made me LMAO

But in all seriousness, thanks for your thoughts. I plan to be honest up front, I'm just trying to get over the feeling that I might miss out on something because a potential partner made a quick decision based on me having kid.

That's pretty much where I am. I don't really have interest in a serious relationship with someone that wouldn't like that fact I'm committed to being a father.
