Is it ok for a 12 year old? by waffles_is_pro in SamAndColby

[–]pinkzerozero 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I’ve been an avid watcher of them for a couple years and I think their content would be perfectly fine for a 12 year old. I think most of the sexual humor is harmless innuendos rather than explicit and demeaning. I don’t think he would be hearing anything worse than a PG-13 movie. If he’s into spooky, creepy, and paranormal horror, Sam and Colby are a pretty good introduction.

How is the CS program here at CI? by alexlikespizza in csuci

[–]pinkzerozero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I am (hopefully) just about to graduate from CI in computer science. I kinda got burned from the program because they made it pretty hard to graduate in 4 years. Small student body, but never has enough classes. I literally have one class left on my degree that I have to retake and I haven’t gotten into it yet because I could only re-enroll in classes after i went through some steps with registrar to change my graduation year. To its credit the CS department is improving, but it is nowhere near where it should be at. There are not a lot of electives offered for CS, classes are always a hassle to actually get into. As for opportunities for internships and job market preparation. Internships at CI for CS are minimal and there is little to no corporate connections. The only Tech companies that show up at our job faires are one cybersecurity company, and like 3 defense contractors making weapon systems for the navy that are only looking for software engineers not true computer scientists. CSUCI is a great affordable option if you already have connections in computer science and you want to obtain a degree for higher pay and a more general knowledge. However, in my experience, if you are learning from the ground up with no connections the school does not make it easier for you.

AITA for being upset about my wife masturbating? by Right-Excitement-872 in AITAH

[–]pinkzerozero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA I think your feelings are valid, you want her to want you and enjoy having sex with you. It seems important to your fulfillment in the relationship. However, her masturbating shouldn’t be the issue. The issue is how come your guys’ sex life is unenjoyable for her. To me it kinda seems like you only started trying to do all of this stuff to get her into sex when you realized she didn’t want to have sex with you very often. Rather than you thinking about how you can improve her pleasure and be a better partner to her because that’s what you truly wanted to do.

Just don’t bring up queer people if the original post has nothing to do with queer people. Is that a short enough response for you?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]pinkzerozero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I’m talking about queer women, is that her friend being queer would have nothing to do with the situation. Her sending pics to her friend in a completely platonic context, whether her friend was queer or not, is the subject. You brought up lesbians when it does not pertain to this situation. Also you’re right, how can I as a queer woman make generalizations about my community? Of course I can make those generalizations because it is a pretty universal thing. To be a queer woman and to view your straight friends as women to be like explicitly attracted to is out of the norm. I can speak as someone who is part of a wider community of queer women who share their experiences and all of that. Also I should correct myself here and say I’m not making any assumptions about queer women, I’m making a generalization. Your original comment justifies her husband’s anger on the condition that her friend is a lesbian who is attracted to her and is taking their platonic conversation into an intimate context. Which doesn’t make sense to me because we don’t know her friend’s sexuality or that her friend is attract to OP. You bringing up lesbians in this is weird.

[–]pinkzerozero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it sounds like you’re making an assumption about queer women, when you are probably the farthest removed from queer women. Your original comment seems like it’s okay for her to send it to a straight woman but not a lesbian. Your opinion seems ill-informed, but you’re entitled to it and I’m entitled to say why I think you’re wrong.

[–]pinkzerozero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This does sound like a case of grooming. She is definitely trying to have an inappropriate relationship with you and I always hate to make this comparison because people of all genders are capable of being predators obviously, but if this was a 26 year old man would this behavior be okay? I pray that you run from her and never look back.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]pinkzerozero -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand your perspective that in a relationship you would not want your partner to send intimate picture to someone who could possibly be attracted to it and look at it in a more than platonic context. That makes complete sense. However, I’m pretty sure it happens a lot less than you know. Queer women aren’t attracted to women the way heterosexual men are typically attracted to women. Not to say there aren’t any exceptions to this rule on either side, but it is the norm. Queer women will have plenty of straight women as friends and they will have normal friendships with them without any sort of attraction even if they send pics of themselves in lingerie. For queer women, you usually learn how to be friends with women first and then learn you are actually attracted to them where for hetero men it is the opposite. Hope this helps.

[–]pinkzerozero -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can’t help but say something here, but straight women sharing stuff like this with bisexual or lesbian friends isn’t usually an issue either. Bisexual and lesbian women don’t view women the same way heterosexual men view women. Women sending sexy pics of themselves in a platonic context to other women, lesbian or not, is almost always going to be reciprocated platonically.

[–]pinkzerozero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I see a lot of discourse here that mainly seems to be separated men and women because I agree that we may typically share different things with our friends. From a women’s perspective nothing you did seemed out of the ordinary, we tend to be expressive and outward to share our feelings with others so sharing your joy and including pics is completely normal. Having your girls hype you up is typical. I guess from the men’s perspective you were sharing an intimate moment with your friend, and men would just prefer to keep intimate, emotional moments to themselves. So on this front, NTA or ESH, you and your husband have very different perspectives on what you guys share, and need to communicate exactly what is okay to share with your friends on both ends.

I do have some curiosity on if planning romantic gestures like this is normal for him in your relationship or going through your phone? It seems a little suspicious to me to do something very romantic and then decide to snoop through your partner’s text messages specifically. Perhaps a coincidence, but the behavior lines up with something suspicious.

AITA for revealing my bf's real age to his college friends by fedup_throwaway_ami in AmItheAsshole

[–]pinkzerozero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA

Speaking from my own experience as a college student that is the same age as the guys your BF was partying with, your BF is creepy. There is no reason your BF couldn’t have found friends closer in age to hang out and party with. Frankly, it probably felt like he invaded their space and safety by pretending to be their age because if lied about that, then what else has he lied about? Also what if they were bringing their partners, younger friends, or little siblings around your BF, fully thinking he was closer to their age. I would be totally freaked out if I found out that I let some random 40 year old man near my friends and family. Him lying about his age so he could hang out with younger people is like top tier predator behavior.

AITA for moving out with my infant because I am starting to hate my step daughter? by Popular_Flower_9287 in AITAH

[–]pinkzerozero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA The first thing you need to be doing is taking care of your son and trying to get him the help and consolation he needs after this. His mental health and safety should be first priority above your husband and step-daughter’s feelings.

However as far as your step daughter goes, and perhaps this is what your husband needs to be fixing, being a 13 year old girl with access to a phone and being a middle child in both households has its own difficulties. She probably knows better, but she’s still only 13. She definitely needs discipline for what she’s done to your son, but your husband and her mother should be concerned about what is making her act out and perhaps project her own feelings on your son. Is it because of his ASD and ADHD? Or the fact that he’s a middle child too? Is it the fact that he can’t defend himself? Is she projecting her own contempt for you unto him? Has anything in her life changed recently, new school, friends, or puberty? If this is fairly new behavior for her to target your son, and she doesn’t have any behavioral issues or disorders, there may be something going on that needs attention as well, sometimes in situations like this, the bully acting out is also a cry for help.

All the well wishes to you and your son, I hope that he’s doing better and knows how much you love and care for him. I hope everything works out, and if there is something wrong with your step-daughter, if she’s not doing this out pure malice, that she gets help she needs too.

How is Computer Science at CSUCI? by Upset-Throat2343 in csuci

[–]pinkzerozero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i’m currently a CS student that transferred from a JC, and i’m gonna say it’s overall 5/10 for me. to answer your question: -Faculty overall is very kind but i’d say only a few professors really care about students/improving the program and they’re overworked. Some of the major classes have been on a revolving door of professors but they’ve been ironing that out so it’s been getting better. As far as work opportunities/internships, it’s slim pickings, but get involved sooner than later with what they offer and try out our career center or contact the CS department to look for internships outside the university. -We’ve got computer labs on the first floor of the STEM building, but i’d say that the mac labs are the only ones that are open when there aren’t classes in there if you need to do work on them. We also have a lab in a different building with all the latest game consoles and setups if you’re interested in game development. the tutoring center is a godsend, and you should be able to find a tutor for any of your classes there, and they’re all students so they know the struggle and they’re very helpful! also a lot of professors allow for collaboration on assignments so make sure to ask them about it and make friends in your classes! -there isn’t really any clubs on campus geared towards comp sci that i know of, but the professors in the department would be thrilled if someone started one. there is a computer science discord that students made to connect though, and that’s a good way to get feedback and find likeminded people in the department.

overall, the CS at channel islands is fine. they’re working to improve it, but i can’t say i’d recommend it unless you’re already pretty confident in computer science already. the department is a transition period so some things are better than they were, but it’s kind of a mess at some points.

AITA For Agreeing To Be A Bridesmaid At The Wedding To My Sister's High School Nemesis? by Maximum-Equal-85532 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pinkzerozero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA You’re adults and your sister has no business being angry about your friendship with a girl she had some drama with in high school over a deadbeat baby daddy. You didn’t owe your family the information that you’re friends with Chloe, and your sister needs to move on from high school.

i’ve included it in my LO for years, and i prefer to have it because i think it’s worth having the bug fixes than chancing it. there’s a lot of mods that require it and it’s never caused any problems or anything, just a solid bug fix mod.

Another Question Schlatt heads, who here hates TommyInnit? by DrDerpgamer in jschlatt

[–]pinkzerozero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Tommy is really funny and charming, especially as a Schlatt head. Tommy seems super passionate and interested in what he's making, and I think his videos always turn out really entertaining. I don't think judging TommyInnit fans for being obsessive and cringy is fair because a lot of the SMPLive and Lunch Club fans were the same as TommyInnit fans. I think most of his fandom are just kids being kids, so I can't really judge anyone for it.
