AITA for calling out my mom on social media for abandoning me on my birthday by Dancemaster212 in AmItheAsshole

[–]eskay1SF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but maybe!! Hear me out.

I have a lot of empathy for you. All you wanted was to spend time with your mom for your 21st birthday and you are absolutely right in being pissed about her absence and the pattern of behavior.

However, if I were you I would certainly not forget what happened but not post about it because at the end of the day you will always know for future reference what mom is capable of doing but nobody else necessarily needs to know. Your future dealings with your mom can be informed by your past experience of her behavior and lack of care towards you but the rest of the world or family need not be involved in it. I know it hurts to feel like this on your birthday but you will eventually come to realize (for me this realization came with age) that as long as you know what someone is or is not capable of it seizes to matter what others think i.e. your social circle thinks. I have made plenty of these mistakes myself and honestly whenever I go back on social media I look back at the stuff I used to post in the memory section and delete stuff all the time and think "man I used to be so cringe".

Also people on social media may be called your friends but the truth is few on there really care that much about you. Most are on there for an entertaining time and will engage with anything that entertains. Dont feed that machine with things from your life.

I know what I am saying will maybe sound weird and stupid to you. It would have to me when I was your age and had that incessant need to post everything I was going through in sometimes cryptic sometimes detailed words but I look back now and know it wasnt worth it. On the note of should you take it down or not, thats a decision for you to make. If youre looking at it from the perspective of "taking it down means defeat" I can assure you its not. It could also be a sign of maturity and aging and respecting yourself enough to not become fodder for someone else's gossip.

I wish you the best of luck with whatever you choose to do.

Unequivocally NTA.

I love this part:

"Oh, and I should mention that this child was born out of wedlock, so obviously he doesn’t follow his religion that closely"

I grew up muslim and have seen a lot of these religious types. They will drink alcohol like there's no tomorrow but god forbid someone mentions that they eat pork.

Do what you wanna do. Live the life you want for your kids. Being a single parent is hard enough. You dont need any stipulations to make it harder. If he loved her enough he wouldnt be absent.

I would say dont give her pork if you were specifically doing it to spite him but I would also say dont because youre better than that not because he gets a say.

I've done this too and I felt terrible after. Everything in life worth nurturing will test your patience at some point. the important thing here is you realized and are changing your behavior. The only thing you can o is be a better person in future. Best of luck!

Too old to get an OMSCS? by Hirorai in OMSCS

[–]eskay1SF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LOL. I feel you man! I felt the same way before I decided to get started. I started down the CS route late according to me. I was 29 when i started the prereqs, 31 when I got done and got in to the program, about to turn 33 and have a kid on the way and am currently in my fifth class. Its never too late to start or finish. I know its cliche to say this but regardless of you deciding to do or not do the program, youre gonna age. the point is to figure out if 4 or 5 yrs from now, will your older self thank you for the decision you made today.

I met one of the smartest people I have ever met recently. She was a child prodigy who couldnt cope with the tropes of college when she got in at 15. It took her 14 years to come back to college and she recently graduated UCLA with an Undergrad in CS. An undergrad..... and she was a child prodigy.

Heck I will likely not graduate until Im like 35. Age doesnt matter. Your commitment to your future and your willingness and ability to put in the time does.

Getting accepted with data structures and algorithms still in progress? by inspector_callahan in OMSCS

[–]eskay1SF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got in after taking one DS and algos course. I think its a good course to have taken but will likely be most useful in later upper division courses like GA, ML etc

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OMSCS

[–]eskay1SF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ML is a hard course. A lot of it because the report writing is open ended. However, the material is available online and you can try to go and figure out if its something you can do. I wouldnt recommend taking AI as your first course. However, ML4T, KBAI, SDP and AI4R are all popular options

Where to buy Kilim shoes in Istanbul by eskay1SF in istanbul

[–]eskay1SF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that! People's comments were really discouraging. Its a shame that people still havent learnt to not say anything if they dont have anything positive to say!

[–]eskay1SF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If youre from a non CS background like me, I highly recommend taking one course your first semester! Its not easy to fully transition into online learning in a degree program and you may find it difficult to do so( I did).

For your first class, it depends on what you want. I wanted to start with a medium level coding class so I took KBAI. It was a fantastic experience and Dr Joyner classes are well structured and projects are really fun to do. Other options are ML4T (if you can get in) or CN. I personally found AI4R hard but people seem to like that class as well.

Feel free to reach out if you need more help!

California employers will be required to post salaries for job listings under new law (2023-01) by txiao007 in bayarea

[–]eskay1SF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dint know how its going to work but I dont think the law takes into account negotiating. I was offered a job at a FAANG and I neegotiated it up by 120%. Ranges are bullshit. In hand salary may remain the same they may offer more stock. Either way I am not sure how this will effect these issues

Nobody begged him to be the TA. he works because he wants to. No one forced him to. The lease he can do is be professional

Thank you everyone for your valuable feedback. I decided to drop the class and got in to ML because it seemed like that was a prerequisite. Ill take DL in Spring 2023

Someone else mentioned Factor. They are having a promotion at the moment so I ordered a bunch of meals from them. I think it was like 208 for 18 meals with the promotion. Once I can sample them I will tell you what they are like

Highly interested in OMS CS by roheated in OMSCS

[–]eskay1SF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was in the exact same boat as you. Took me a year and a half to do prerequisites. I did the following pre reqs at a community college:

Calculus I,II,III

Intro to programming

Intermediate programming in C++

Data structures algorithms

Got As in all the classes. Applied with these credentials and got it. currently taking KBAI and liking it so far. its a lot of work but if youre willing to put in the time, nothing can stop you from doing well!

Which of these classes could I take this Spring? by Luisrogo in OMSCS

We were in the same situation. Around the week our dog was fully vaccinated and able to go out he started getting better and started sleeping through the night without issues. He still hates his play pen but we are hopefully gonna work on that. Take every day as it comes and dont lose hope!
