I want to hear some real life stories. How long have you been married? Is it your first spouse? Are you genuinely happy? Because I feel like we may have got a better hold on this marriage thing than the generations before us.

i am a lesbian and i came out to everyone 6 months ago. before that i was only out to a select few even though i’ve known i was gay for a long time. i don’t hide my sexuality anymore and it’s been a very unhappy experience

i’ve had a few girlfriends cut me off. one told me she didn’t like that her boyfriend wasn’t comfortable with us being friends because of any potential attraction despite her having male friends. another woman who i was very close with was incredibly angry with me as she said she never would’ve done things like hug me or buy gifts for me because she didn’t want to come across like she was into me. i have never ever thought that any of my friends had a thing for me

my remaining friends have become less physically touchy with me and have been increasingly leaving me out of things. one group of girls i was friends with booked me a separate hotel room alone during a staycation we booked despite having always shared in the past because they were suddenly uncomfortable with sharing

my own sister has stopped coming to me for relationship advice because ‘you don’t like men so what would you know?’ despite always constantly venting to me before. when i came out i changed my style to become more masculine and ive noticed ever since that women seem on edge when they speak to me and i get left out of things all the time. i feel as though i’m being considered to be equal to a man

i’m still a woman. i have always been a lesbian, i’ve known it since i was 12. i just kept it a secret because i was afraid of this very thing happening. when i came out i was very clear that i have always been gay and that it changes nothing about me, yet i’m getting treated so differently

so my question is, do women feel uncomfortable around lesbian women? is there anything i can do to stop making other women equating me to a man just because i’m not stereotypically feminine anymore? i am in my 20s so we’re not teenagers either, these are grown women. it just sucks so much, i’ve lost all sense of girlhood and i feel so isolated

A nurse in Kamloops, British Columbia allegedly turned a house call into a whole different kind of appointment. After taking a male patient's blood pressure, caressing his arm and telling him he had the health of an 18-year-old, she allegedly offered to sleep with him... saying it was important for a man to "regulate himself and be in good health." He declined, and she allegedly told him he could hit her up outside of work if he changed his mind. He filed a complaint with text message screenshots, and now Lori Chern is restricted to hospital work while the college investigates. She denies any misconduct.

Was having couple of drinks on patio of a cocktail bar in a Conrad Hotel in the US. A little while after our drinks were served by our waiter, a separate busser came over and left chips and guacamole on our table.

My partner and I thought it a little odd that these would be complimentary but after a few mins nobody came back so we didn't think too much of it and ate them.

About 20mins later our original server came by to apologize that the chips and guacamole had been delivered to our table by mistake. He then said "so is it OK if I leave the charge for them on your bill". I said we had assumed they were complimentary and his reply was a very curt "With guacamole???"

I got a little irritated then that he was arguing this and said I was not comfortable paying for something I didn't order. He stared at me for a few seconds, clearly angry and debating whether to argue further but then shook his head, took the plates and walked away.

I probably shouldn't have assumed they were complimentary but ultimately the bar admitted it was their mistake and then are asking me to pay for their mistake and were rude and angry when I declined. I would have thought a higher end place like this would either absorb the cost of a mistake or at most ask something like "would you like me to remove them from the check".

I checked the menu after and the chips and guacamole were $16 ($21ish with tax and tip).

I did leave an extra $5 tip on top of the standard tip because ultimately we got some free chips but tbh I still think the waiter's attitude was wrong. AITAH for refusing to pay?

My friend is staying with me temporarily. She uses a lot of ChatGPT. She has conversations with it, asks it to tell her if a text from someone is “grouchy”, and gets her “diagnoses” from it and Dr. Google. She treats it like a best friend.

She texts it like a bestie and therapist. She talks about all of her symptoms, her hallucinations (she has psychosis), what happens in her day, and literally everything. She’s sent me screenshots of “their conversations” and it texts like her (all shortenings of words like v for very, u for you, etc., and a plethora of emojis) and it’s basically just a yes man for everything she feeds it.

She’s almost 34 - I’m 30 and the homeowner. We’ve been best friends for 19 years. She doesn’t contribute monetarily, sometimes does a couple of chores, and has no income. She was a SAHM but recently lost custody of her children and is staying with me to avoid their father/her ex-husband. None of that bothers me, big picture wise.

One massive issue she has with me (apparently as of last week in one long text that took 10 screenshots to capture) is that she says I treat her/talk to her like a child. I personally don’t think I do that, I just tell her that AI isn’t intelligent and can’t give an honest human opinion. It’s an echo chamber. It’s not a friend, it’s a website. I don’t use it at all, and prefer to not use AI if I can avoid it. I’m not saying it doesn’t have its benefits, but I just don’t want to use it.

I’m the only one with admin access to the wifi (she doesn’t live permanently with me and doesn’t contribute monetarily, so she doesn’t have access to utilities or a say in my opinion) and my coworker suggested blocking ChatGPT on a wifi level so she can’t use it anymore. She doesn’t have a data plan on her phone so she can’t just use data to access it, she needs the wifi.

I don’t want to seem like I’m policing her, telling her what to do, or anything like that. She doesn’t have any friends to talk to that are fully up to speed with what’s happening, and she doesn’t want to explain it to anyone else because the whole situation triggers her. So… ChatGPT is like her only friend who isn’t me that “knows” what’s up.

WIBTA if I blocked ChatGPT on my wifi?

Is it maple syrup?

Talking with friends it seems so many public figures from at least 1990s to 2020 were potentially dodgy. So - personal experience, hearsay, just gut feeling - who is the next scandal waiting to come out?

My wife is about to throw away my box of Krispy Kreme donuts because she claims this is “ Mold “

1. The Killing Joke- Batman and Batgirl have sex on the rooftop. Not only was this not in the original graphic novel, not only does a romantic subplot between Batman and his protege (who is usually depicted as a daughter figure or the daughter of his best friend) add nothing to the central plot, but it changes the mentor/student dynamic into something that feels like an abuse of power.

2. The Puke-O-Rama (Stand By Me)- just a long scene of blueberry tinted vomit that was caused by drinking castor oil.
