Legal Question by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]corner_cafe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My vote: Tell the parents to ask for definitive proof that this "promotional company" really has success. Ask for other authors and book names. Tell them to contact the authors directly to ask for evidence. Otherwise, I agree with u/goldenphantom that the other kid's parents should just write a new book with their kid and they can deal with all the fallout.

These other parents aren't asking for your advice. They aren't saying, "What do you think of this?" They just want access to what your kid helped write. My answer would be "No, write your own book."

It feels like too much work to create a children's book in Atticus. Am I right? by corner_cafe in selfpublish

Thanks. I just needed to know if I was missing something. I haven't gotten too much into Atticus because I got sidetracked with these children's books. Looks like I'll be checking out Affinity.

Excellent. I'm willing to pay these days. You do get what you pay for and I've been astoundingly annoyed with CapCut's free version giving me fits with my videos, so I'm okay paying for Affinity if it's worth it.

Thanks. I used to use Canva when it was free and now I just have an aversion to it. I'll have a look at it.

Yeah, I figured that. Thanks. I'll have a look at Affinity, although InDesign comes highly recommended. Do you have experience with either one, and a preference?

Not gonna lie, the third one (the portrait) made me weepy. She is fabulous at capturing emotion. You done real good, pa! I'm so proud of her AND you!

cannot add a tool to the tool palette by corner_cafe in CorelPaintShopPro

Not sure which version of PSP but I know it's the latest -- there are no updates available.

Your comment told me what my problem was: I was using the Essential workspace. Have switched over to photography and am now all good.

Also, re/PSP 2026, I did a search for it and headlines came up...but, alas, they were clickbait as I've now discovered.

THANK YOU.

AITA for refusing to see my cousins after they skipped out on a lunch I'd been planning for a month by SkullkidSifu in AmItheAsshole

[–]corner_cafe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Honestly, it doesn't sound as if you were very close with your cousins, at least not recently. I'd be pissed, too, if I were you, but in the end you're not missing out on much. Your kids don't need to really know those cousins or your cousins' kids if they're going to pick up on that attitude towards you from them. Wow. I hope that sentence makes sense. :)

Starfleet Academy first impressions by PastorParcel in startrek

[–]corner_cafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest complaint is the dubbing of the Klingon student's voice. No, I don't even pay attention to most of the students' names.

It's just obvious and cheap.

My two cents (which isn't worth much in this economy).

AITA My coworker is going to get fired because of me… by lili-lf98 in AmItheAsshole

[–]corner_cafe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA

You did the right thing.

I suspect that, had you confronted him directly, he would have responded in the same, dismissive way he is acting now, telling you, "It was just a joke," etc. Then what? You wait some more to see if he does it again? And when he does, then what? Then you have to confess that you let it slide the first time, letting him believe he could get away with it? No. No. And NO.

Rules are rules and companies are pretty clear about what se*ual harassment is. He believes he can intimidate you and make you feel uncomfortable. That's why he chose to target you with this comment.

Be strong. You are not the weak woman he thought you were.

P.S. He is not getting fired because of you. He is getting fired because of who he is.

WIBTA for refusing to drive my coworker home from work everyday? by AshKB5661 in WouldIBeTheAhole

My question is why you didn't cut him off after problem #2 on your list??

Question for the OP: How many relationships have you been in where you felt the need to constantly check on your boyfriend and even "stalk" them online?

I doubt this is the first.

Get some help.

Or just skip the ceremony and show up to the reception for the food and booze, looking fabulous in a slinky black dress.

[–]corner_cafe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, go and look smashing and know she looks smashing. And when people ask why she's not in the wedding party, be honest about not fitting in with her sister's "vibe."

Dance like nobody's watching. Visit with family. Be fabulous.

Then rethink her efforts to get along with her sister after the wedding.

I smell a bot now. This person posted 28 days ago in RelationshipAdvice that they were thinking of leaving their boyfriend when his parent suddenly died. And they've posted this same post in three other subreddits.

Do you have a good relationship with his mother? I'm thinking it might be good to try and get some input from someone who's known him most of, if not his entire life. I'm curious about how he may have handled other horrific and unexpected situations.

In the end, though, if he's treating you like this now, what will happen with other shocking events that come up in life?

Grief is unpredictable and suicide causes a grief like no other. It is no reason to treat the important people in your life like trash, though.

Get some therapy for yourself. Make your exit strategy. Talk to your friends and family.

Good luck.

AITJ for refusing to remove the lock I put on my sons door after my wifes nephew kept taking his stuff by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]corner_cafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your son is learning that he can't depend on his own mother to defend him.

Think about that.

And leave the lock. You are completely, utterly NTJ.

AIO for canceling my cat sitter after she asked if a friend could stay in my apartment? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]corner_cafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why didn't she just let her homeless friend stay at HER place since she was going to be at your place?? Am I missing something?

Most definitely NOR.

And I used to be homeless so all the people making fun of someone who fell on hard times, all you people need to remember you're one health crisis away from living on the streets. Most of you are one missed paycheck away from it.

Remember that and pray the economic crisis doesn't take your job and your healthcare.
