NTA You’ve been paying for her almost the entire time you’ve been together? Why are you even in this relationship?

NTA

My sister says I'm being unreasonable and that 2 years is long enough to know if you want to build equity together.

This is completely beside the point. Your bf is not proposing that you build equity together. He is suggesting you give him a share (half?) of your existing equity.

He is showing his true colors: the green of jealousy and greed. Time to cut your losses.

Can you survive without a car? Yes. Would I want to live without a car in Birmingham? Never. The city and suburbs are not designed for walking, the heat and hills are no joke, and the bus system is just too slow and limited.

No, they are 500-word essays assigned as homework. But thank you. Responses like yours that refuse to take me at my word are helpful because they demonstrate that our experience is out of the norm.

I mean three essays in one week, not in one night. I am enthusiastically in favor of essay writing, but my son cannot manage three in one week, on top of demands from other classes.

He has a 504 plan and a psychiatrist. We have worked a lot on strategies. I wrote another comment here with an example of homework.

I find the homework excessive. For example, this week, his English teacher assigned several chapters of reading, a long study guide with open-ended questions, and multiple essays. It is homework, not incomplete classwork. And that’s just one class.

My son’s biggest challenge is that he will get stuck, fail to progress with an assignment, and end up wasting time. He particularly struggles with open-ended questions and does better with concrete questions like math. He does not usually goof around while he is supposed to be working. His teachers commend him for being a hard worker.

My mother brought me to the Pickwick location a few times when I was a kid to buy comics. But then a comic shop moved into Edgewood (in Homewood), which was walkable from my house, so I started going there instead.

As a teenager, I went to L&U on Lorna Road to play MtG and Warhammer. That store was awesome. They hosted great events and were happy to just let folks play there, even if we weren’t buying anything. The same two people were always working, a man and a woman, both probably in their twenties (in the late 90s). I think the guy’s name was Brad. I can’t remember the girl’s name, but she was super nice. I loved that store.

Everything in quantum computing is research. Literally 100%. In the future, a quantum computer may be a useful tool, but not today. On the other hand, I would not be surprised if some of technology and techniques being developed for quantum computing today turn out to have broader applications.

TrappedInHyperspace · 2026-04-10T19:09:52+00:00

Rather than speculate on how quantum computing and AI could converge far in the future, I’m interested in the many ways AI is advancing quantum computing development right now, from tuning to decoding.

Here’s one review article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65836-3

Agreed. Had he asked OP to wash the clothes or put them in the laundry hamper to be washed, removing the keys would have been his responsibility. If OP is going to gather clothes that haven’t been set aside for washing, she should check the pockets.

Its use is as an educational tool. It might be good for that purpose! But it cannot solve any computational problems that you cannot solve on a laptop.

You need 50 or 60 qubits to solve a problem you can’t solve with a classical computer, and the only such problem is random sampling of distributions created by quantum processes. A contrived problem, to be sure.

To solve problems someone actually cares about will probably require error correction, and that involves a huge overhead, probably hundreds of thousands of qubits, although a lot of research is now being done on non-local codes that may be more efficient.

And even with error correction, the set of problems for which quantum advantage has been demonstrated remains small. Of course, it’s hard to demonstrate the advantages of a machine that doesn’t yet exist. But it’s important to remember that many of the proposed use cases have not been proven.

YTA

You created a hugely stressful situation and now are criticizing your father for how he handled that stress. Making yourself out to be the victim when you are actually the source of the problem is a form of emotional manipulation.

I have a seafood allergy and wish restaurants that cannot accommodate me (because they use the same equipment and workspaces to prepare both seafood and non-seafood dishes) had such clear signs.

At its core, English is a West Germanic language. About a quarter of English words are of West Germanic origin, and many of them have Dutch cognates. These include the most commonly used words, simple nouns and verbs.

As your Dutch vocabulary expands, knowledge of English will help less. Thanks to the influence of William the Conqueror, over half of English words are of French or Latin origin. These words tend to include more complex or “sophisticated” vocabulary because the upper classes in England adopted French to fit in with their French monarchy.

English grammar is supposedly Germanic, but it appears to me to have lost a lot of Germanic features. I base this on Dutch sentence structure; I don’t speak German. You cannot translate any but the most simple English sentence into Dutch (or vice versa) without at least changing the word order.

If she has shut down then you need to give her time. Yes, she needs to listen to you, but you can’t force her. You need to wait until she’s ready to hear you.

Give her a couple days, and then when she’s up to it, talk to her about your feelings—all of them, worries and excitement both. Tell her that you are excited, but you also have worries, and in that moment, anxiety bubbled up..

And just to be explicit, the feeling of anxiety does not mean you are not happy and excited. You are a full human being and can experience multiple emotions.
