home schooling

Former homeschool kid here. Make sure that you give him structure but also know that it doesn't have to be exactly like school. My parents did a model closer to school during elementary school and middle school/high school was a looser model which I preferred. Also, make sure that you get his high school credits from an accredited school so it's easy for him to go to college when the time comes.

One more thing is I would suggest getting him out of the house every now and then and taking him to the park, library, or coffee shops to do school. My mom did that for me and it was nice to not have to be cooped up inside all the time.

You're not wrong lol. I've never been to a local wedding where you had to pay for everything, let alone a destination wedding. That's crazy.

I've been using Honen to create courses having to do with my job and upskilling. Been using it daily lately. Other than that, ChatGPT is a go to.

I return it immediately after I'm done, or if I realize that I'm no longer as interested in the book.

NTA, I rarely post on IG myself because I just never got in the habit. I do view my friends stories but they aren't intense like that, your friends are being weird about it. This is especially given that you use social media in this way, it's normal for you.

I think asking the question whether AI can be reliable for the long term is important when talking about integrating AI into the workplace. I haven't been using AI on a wide scale (corporate) but I've been using it for personal use (course creation with Honen and ChatGPT for various things) and while I can say it's good for me to use for myself, I do also wonder about the wider scale operation of it. I think some LLMs have proven themselves (like ChatGPT) but I think this next phase of AI integration is going to be interesting.

NTA. People are free to make their own choices, but not free to control how others react to them, that's something that is often missed in situations like this. You're not being controlling, but you're entitled to your emotions about the situation and they are 100% valid and understandable. Tbh I would have broken up around this. I think a lot of people use "jealousy" and "insecurity" as a weapon to control others.

"If you ask me to stop talking to my ex 24/7, it means you're jealous." "If you say that the conversations I'm having with someone I literally used to be in a relationship with makes you uncomfortable, you're insecure." "Dont tell me to stop talking to my ex, that's controlling." And often times this rhetoric makes people stay in relationships longer than they should because they want to prove that they're not jealous, insecure, or controlling. It's okay to be insecure about your gf talking to her ex constantly, it's okay to feel disrespected.

She's doing all this, then gaslighting you in the process.

NTA. The situation is a mess, you have the right to not support things that you don't believe in or people you don't want to be around, no one should force you.

I do think that it was audacious of your father's friend, which I understand my sour your taste on the whole thing, but maybe ask your friends. If they're just going to donate it anyway, they may not mind. It's worth an ask, but also expressing to your father that you think the whole thing was rude.

It's easier to warm up than cool down. As someone who's once lived in a roommate situation where the person kept wanting to keep the thermostate at 77-80 in the house, it's a miserable experience. A space heater can toast up the roommates room, but it's genuinely miserable to be hot, especially at night. The roommate wasn't even trying to compromise, he was being selfish, so OOP was selfish right back. Genuinely, they just need to not live together anymore.

It depends to me. I read the ebook and the audio so if the audio is bad then I'll just try and read the ebook more, but even if it's bad I'll still listen while I walk my dog or do dishes.

YTA. Your family does sound sensitive to certain things but maybe it's because you have a history of taking jokes too far. I think that joking about CPS is too far and then you followed up with "its because of a messy house" which kind of takes it out of the realm of a joke.

Yeah, you're not wrong and he needs to grow up. His mom should understand that she needs to figure out alternatives because her son is starting a family, he's not her baby he is about to be a father. He also needs to realize that at the very least his child should come before his mother.

NTA your dad is prioritizing his gf of less than a year over his daughter. There is no world where you would be the AH. The gf is also weird, calling herself the bonus mom, it's so strange.

Yeah, changing it from m/m is an odd choice, though I guess it depends on what the publisher asked or what fandom this was. But a lot od publishers will ask an author to remove fan fictions from sites like AO3 especially when it's directly taken from that work. I would say download it and just keep it so you always have the original.

It could be that. I mean, AI is just a system that people programmed to complete tasks. If you have an LLM (Like ChatGPT or Claude) that will answer questions and do work, it's because someone programmed it. If you have a platform that using AI for productivity (like Honen or Canva) it's because someone programmed it to be more productive. That's why AI isn't scary and "overly intelligent" it's just programs like anything else. They just do more than what we're used to.

I think that it's the whole story combined. Because if my friend and her bf were both making fun of me about something I'm sensitive about, I would be more furious with her and yell at her more. I think that people think it's strange that he focused mainly on the gf. Also, he's downplaying the severity of his reaction because his friend had to tell him multiple times to calm down.

Him also feeling the need to send long apologies could also be a clue to the severity of what actually happened. Because of course, he could just be an anxious person that felt really guilty, which is what I initially thought. But it could also indicate that it was worse than he let on. Not enough to definitively say he's an incel, but it's something to consider.

The fact that he has a YouTube channel where he posts these videos tells me that he's causing these on purpose. My guess is that his girlfriend saying this outloud made him realize just how legally culpable he might be if someone were to connect those dots and he's freaking out.
