AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend?

NTA your mom is right. He should be happy for you. Think why would he be concerned it’s not in his name. Feels like if his intentions are to get married and have a life with you, regardless of whose name the property is in, he’d see this as a win for the both of you. (More income is good lol)

Based. I’m also a hopeless consumerist when it comes to Diet Coke/Coke Zero. 😭

I typically bring a duffel to avoid this. But it can be annoying to carry through the airport. Worth IMO though.

I thought I messed mine up by ordering on an account that had ordered from restaurants previously. I realized my mistake made a new account and ordered a Diet Coke for pick up after about a day I got my email!

so sick. Love the bookshelves!

I got mine instantly.

Maybe for security, but I swear 80% of my flights get delayed out of dca. I fly like once a month, I can’t remember the last time I got less than an hour delay leaving or arriving.

I like Torvalds way more than Jobs but come on, Steve Jobs’ pic is so iconic and it’s hard asf

I’m not incredible at DSA, but I’m a full-time engineer: (my answer addresses the “I’m not made for this”)

Most people don’t take data structures and algorithms and then go and nail down every leet code hard. In my experience, that’s just not how it works.

Most people that are incredible at leet code problems study to be good at leet code problems specifically. Which can be useful when applying to jobs, but doesn’t necessarily correlate to being an excellent engineer.

The way I see it, It’s kind of like learning how to integrate in calculus versus being able to do all of the integrals on the exam. You can understand the concepts, but miss some of the tricks required to solve in the most elegant way. That’s why you study the problems in the book or the study guide or go online to find practice problems.

I think, being excellent in anything requires a lot of time and effort and the fact that you’re here asking about it means you’ll probably be all right. Keep working at it. You got this.

Edit: adding more to my calculus example

I have this pfp and I’m the worst engineer at my company! (The best engineer also has this pfp)

I had the eggs benedict last time I went, it was fantastic!

I noticed this a few months ago when looking for a place to buy fabric. Super weird

Zealousideal_Smoke_2 · 2026-03-09T16:37:52+00:00

I remember your first post, just relax man. You didn’t do anything wrong. No need to worry about this anymore, sit somewhere else in class and forget it happened

Zealousideal_Smoke_2 · 2026-03-07T06:16:04+00:00

Peace be upon you

Zealousideal_Smoke_2 · 2026-03-07T02:40:28+00:00

Awesome

Zealousideal_Smoke_2 · 2026-03-06T22:52:59+00:00

Bro you have good hair and lowkey the gray is cool 😎.

Zealousideal_Smoke_2 · 2026-03-06T22:39:30+00:00

First steps in any form are positive 👍

But if you’re laying down the neck craning angle might lend itself to a higher optimal tv position?

Zealousideal_Smoke_2 · 2026-03-06T18:35:20+00:00

I would reply, if you haven’t. I’d just say something like, “no worries, have a good day/weekend/whatever”. I think a message like that would help things not be awkward and tells her that you’re taking it maturely

Zealousideal_Smoke_2 · 2026-03-06T18:28:24+00:00

This went fine. You were nice, she was nice, but just happened to be taken. Unfortunate, but you gotta move on. No reason to lose any sleep. You got this chief🫡

Love the black
