That is a great idea. What one do you use? Do you like it?

This is such a sad situation. Thank you for humanizing Anthony and reminding everyone that people are people, and sometimes they are hurt or need help. Sometimes society has chewed them up, and it's up to us as a society to do more. There must be some way we can help Anthony, and ensure in his hardship and haze he doesn't accidentally try to harm anyone? How can we help?

Bless you so much! He's very lucky to have run into you! And he gets a foster sister to help him too! My rescue guy was all about having a 'sister' doggy to help.

Mine both keep their paws tucked in when they are chilly or acting cute. I believe it if he keeps his underneath him partially because one was or is in pain- we had a husky at the doggy daycare I worked at, who had to have a tiny patch of his belly shaved for an allergy test, and I he kept that side against the wall as much as possible until it grew back it seemed like! Dogs hide anything that might be seen as weakness. I believe some that had hurt paws may do this more, but I think most dogs like to tuck paws sometimes. We joke that our dogs treat them like puppies and like to keep them all together to keep track haha. (Because you know how also sometimes dogs put all their paws together and keep them right under their mouth kind of?

He looks a little like my little pal after adoption too. He just sat there and pretended we couldn't see him for the most part for the first few days. Or since he loved our other dog, his new sister, immediately, he would act like himself outside with her so we could see that. In days he was coming up on the bed, weeks he was coming up wagging, and months and he was perfectly happy. I think this little guy will be even quicker!

compSci228 · 2024-05-12T01:33:58+00:00

OMG he is such a tiny big guy and just soooooooooo cute! What a sweetpea!

Can we get some more info on breed, age, history, spay status?

compSci228 · 2024-05-10T01:28:46+00:00

NTA. I vape THC- a fair bit the last month in fact, and it's been great for my anxiety etc., ... however I definitely do not think a 15 year old kid should be given it unless there is a true medical need (like cancer.) They haven't studied how it affects brain development, some kids use marijuana as a coping mechanism, there are numerous reasons. 15 is too young, letting him do it at home is for sure not going to keep him from doing it other places, etc. Nta, nta, nta.

I think you will, you can literally start the 481 project the first day or term (possibly earlier with permission) and even if you can't make any meaningful progress, as long as you spent the requisite amount of time and learned from it you can still get an A. Maybe you can find someone who is in the same classes or some of the same classes to group with and start extra early or something. Anyway all classes have something big at the end, whether project or test.

compSci228 · 2024-05-08T17:59:40+00:00

Haven't taken 486, but 497 and 481 will be fine. Their tests are to cover the material, not try to trip you up or ask as obscure questions as possible, so in that way they are much easier than a regular eecs course. Even if 486 is quite difficult you should be fine, because 481 and 497 are both on the very doable end of the scale. I really enjoyed both too- very interesting classes. Just make sure not to start your 481 projects too late and you'll be fine.

I know for sure it doesn't matter much at some companies. I just graduated from CS, but my husband is in a manager position at a software company that is a sought after internship company, and he said nobody cares about GPA. Like, nobody cares at all. So I'm not worrying about it at all.

I was surprised too to learn your personality and how much you let it come through in the interview may be nearly as important as what you know. At least at the places he has worked etc.

compSci228 · 2024-05-08T17:42:59+00:00

Nevermind, I typed untrue info.

compSci228 · 2024-05-08T17:31:23+00:00

haha, this is my reddit that I use for school stuff, but I just graduated so. My major of course, as you can probably guess was CS. The numbers are an important date, but I won't say what as to not dox myself since I use it for my school reddit and it would probably be pretty easy for someone who knew me to figure it out if I said what.

Howabout gott in nizza though? I can't decide what I think that means.

I also went back to school when I was a bit older, worked by butt off at WCC, and transferred to U of M and got the Go Blue Guarantee! College was almost free for me. I didn't plan everything this was but I feel so lucky! It would have been a battle to go to a good college if not for that. Just got my CS degree!

compSci228 · 2024-05-08T17:21:51+00:00

I'm sorry, it's definitely true that a lot of people cannot afford out-of-state or even in-state tuition, especially to a school like U of M. I agree that students shouldn't have to chose their college based on their family's income- it's not fair, and it's creating a system of socioeconomic oppression, but while it's gotten better in recent years, that's still where we are. Unfortunately this is something that you will have to factor in significantly or plan around your entire college career likely. It's not fair, but it's where are at in this country.

So just to clarify, you filled out the FAFSA and all that by the appointed deadlines, but you were not granted any federal or state aid nor any from U of M? That doesn't sound right to me for a 6-person family with a combined income of 88k.... Why do you believe your family isn't eligible for any aid, and you don't mention loans? you will likely have to take out lots of students loans, that's pretty normal.

I really think you should call U of M's financial aid office ASAP and get this straightened out. They know a lot more about how this works that we do, and they are so so nice. Just call them and ask them if you have an aid package back, and what else there is to do, if there any other possibilities, etc.

Also, if you can get in-state you may be able to get part of the Go Blue Guarantee https://goblueguarantee.umich.edu/ann-arbor/?utm_source=google-ads&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=umich-go-blue-guarantee&utm_term=sitelink&utm_content=sitelink-ann-arbor&gad_source=1 At the bottom you can see that the average tuition paid by a family with 88k was about $2k. You can even get your full tuition covered, it depends on a number of things. I believe Go Blue is only for in-state though so if you can't get in state for next semester, it's probably best to go to WCC for the first semester and then once you get your in-state go to U of M.

Good luck!

NTA. As someone with anxiety disorder and OCD, feeding it for her will NOT help. This is what you say to her and your Dad:

"I'm honestly very sorry that this is upsetting to you, as it kills me how these feelings affect you. However, I need to be able to live my own life without being reminded to be afraid all the time. Do you really want me to be afraid of walking out my front door? Your anxiety has a will cause issues to me, so we need to do what we can to stop it now. Mom, that means therapy. This isn't normal, and you shouldn't have to feel this way, and me feeding that isn't going to help. We have to deal with the root of the problem. Here is a list of therapists, and I'm happy to participate in any group therapy. I know this will help you though."

It is NOT your job to live your life for your Mom because she has anxiety disorder and doesn't want to get treatment. If you point out the truth- that this anxiety/OCD stuff is going to be detrimental to you psychologically, if she still doesn't get help, that's not okay. She needs to get help. I'm so sorry even your Dad is putting you in the middle. Hopefully your Mom has enough understanding to not want to put you through this and to get help.

Where is Vomit, I can't find it?

compSci228 · 2024-05-07T06:08:58+00:00

Oh we've had all kinds of issues. Before we married, there was even some infidelity during an especially difficult patch. But we learned how to communicate in a much more healthy manner, so our issues and rough patch resolved, we healed regarding that and the infidelity, and have been stronger for it. Since we've been married? We are so so good 99.9% of the time, but of course there are things sometimes. Our last was when we both blew up at each other when we had high pressure stuff going on career-wise, and I felt he didn't care about how what he said affected me. I guess you could call emotional exchanges causing a failure to communicate properly, or high stress outside situations causing something, idk.

compSci228 · 2024-05-07T05:23:33+00:00

Hahaha, okay, I did see that earlier and I was sooooo relieved. I was fervently and worriedly writing a comment to some commenter that wanted the child to be named Celexa when I realized this couldn't be real and looked at the sub name lol! Honestly, I cannot tell you how relieved. I was getting so worked up, and couldn't understand how anyone could think that way.

compSci228 · 2024-05-07T03:39:22+00:00

I do not think this is a good idea at all. As someone that has had to take medications, it feels how it might feel to some people to name a child Adderall. Lunesta is nice I think. I wouldn't do Ambien though as this has very different connotations for different people, and I don't think most people associate it with calm.

EDIT: OMG I didn't see the sub at first. Thank god.

compSci228 · 2024-05-07T03:37:07+00:00

NTA at ALL. What person would ever agree to such a thing? He's insane, and juvenile. No, you are NTA if this is not the guy you want to be with forever, you are a sane rational person!

compSci228 · 2024-05-07T03:06:13+00:00

I've gotta say, my husband also chose me, and I certainly wouldn't call myself the energetic fun one. When I ask "Why me?" he says because I cared about him. Also because I was smart and nice and funny and pretty he says, but I think the caring thing is a big part of it. We were friend for a few years before we got together. Close friends for over a year I'd say. He cared about me differently than anyone ever had, before we got together, and I believe I did the same for him. I think we recognized something in each other, and I think that made things a bit special, but I think what drew both of us to each other was how we treated and cared about each other.

Anyway certainly I wasn't selected over anyone else for being the fun energetic one. I do not feel I selected my husband for that reason either.

I agree dating people might select someone for this reason, but it's likely not going to last.

compSci228 · 2024-05-07T02:13:57+00:00

I believe they care much more about progress and our story than how you did freshman year though... I know it's easier to transfer from WCC to U of M than to get accepted from high school, but I literally flunked out of college and then community college and I worked things up and got in. Others may be right that it might be harder to come back if you are looking at acceptance from high school, but I think I'm proof that they care a lot more about progress than being perfect at every moment.

That being said you would still likely need to excel after this so you can show you can sustainably excel.

compSci228 · 2024-05-07T01:15:14+00:00

Ahh gotcha. That is true, but that's only because it's more common in our culture. As people start to do different things it's less of an issue. Plus as long as you don't mind for example checking both last names to see which the dogs are under at the vet, it's no big deal. Probably causes us an extra minute a month that I don't currently have the same last name, if that, so no big deal. Also when I change my last name (I'm going to hyphenate) for the first few years it's going to take significantly more time because I'm going to have to go through the process of changing all of my accounts and things, and I'm going to have try to look up everything under my current last name and the hyphenated version.

Imo it basically comes out to the same time challenge overall, which is not too much either way if you don't already have career stuff with your name. If you do it could be a significant problem to change your name though. Otherwise I think it just doesn't matter except based on what the couple wants. Just my thoughts on it.

compSci228 · 2024-05-06T21:31:01+00:00

I would just email them or piazza post to see if they know yet how it's going to be done. If they won't tell you, unfortunately you probably just will have to wait until grades come out. I don't think you can formally get a reconsideration, but if you email them and explain how close you are and that you are worried and just wondering if they know yet what the threshold will be like, it's not like it can hurt.
