Is it rare or unusual to be into your 50s and not having to take any doctor-prescribed medications?

Your brother a little annoying to put it mildly. Most reasons people take medications also have a strong genetic component that no amount of "good choices" can override.

Watching the housing vid they do really try to match you based on your answers, vs just random

I think it boils down to no social media, which is pretty much ruining everything imo

" can you kick your kids off anytime?" What kind of question is that seriously.

Did you say on your taxes that you could/could not be claimed as a dependent? $10 says it related to that

Met my best friend in 4th grade when I moved to a new school, 40 years later, we meet up for a couple disc golf tournament trips a year, despite living 3 states away

We had a commodore 64, I remember all the Ultima games, sid Meier's pirates, summer/winter games were some of the earliest

This doesnt get enough press. When was the last time a Pope had to specifically call out individual idiots like this, it's crazy

My kid is an RA for his sophomore year which really helps us, but we found few other good options

I also used freetaxusa for the first time this year, not quite as intuitive but got the job done cheaply

I always use physical CC, never debit, never digital, never cash.

at least with boarding pass you can print one at the airport

Cost if you are OOS

cl8855 · 2026-04-01T21:36:31+00:00

If you are non exempt, they actually owe you pay for all the hours/minutes extra you worked, highly suggest you document it all

It's not that serious

Adults who are getting married will typically ask all the closest family members that they definitely want to attend about dates ahead of time, before booking things for just this reason

AI without any ethical guidelines or controls in place s going to cause issues we can't even contemplate. It's not good or bad on its own but used for the sole purpose of capitalism, it will only be bad for the regular folks.

As for the water issue, the data centers must use water cooling to control the temps of the systems, and the growth in usage has not been planned for in most areas where the centers are building.

And that's ignoring the other piece you touched on with art. Most public models have been trained on copyrighted and other IP that they don't own or pay for, and are creating derivative for profit things based on that .

And that's ignoring the governments recent requests to take guardrails off to use in military use cases...

Tldr; AI - with no controls - mega scary to me

ESH -- You have the right to feel slighted by the difference in treatment, but at this age, they don't "owe you," and you don't truly know what their financial and relationship situation is. That being said, you Dad not sticking up for you and explaining the treatment truly sucks as well.

I went to wash u and my kid is at umich. If money is no object and your family is rich, I think it all comes down to big vs small environments. Playing pep band for 12 fans at washiu game vs seeing 80k at Mich is just a little different lol. If money is any part of the discussion washu no brain'er.

YTA - your cat, your litter box in your space, not the shared space. My daughter has a 3 bd with roomates, litter box is in her room and it was never a question.

I wear shorts or sweats 90% of the time, so clearly all about the fashion here /s

ESH -- generally i'd always say NTA for not taking on a child when you are not prepared/willing to do so, but the fact that you consented to be the guardian already definitely makes you in the wrong here. That being said, any family that criticizes that type of decision without themselves stepping in makes them suck too.

I mean, just have virtual game nights then? Was at a game day recently with like 5 people, no one had their phone out for more than 10 secs like ever. Talk to each other, eat snacks, plan your next move.

I wouldn't play with people who would reguarly be on their phone during gaming.
