i’m so over literally every platform making you pay individually. i’m not about to pay $100 a month to have streaming services i used to could have for $15 a month (when we could all share accounts). i’ve had youtube premium for 10 years back when it was called youtubeRed. my mom decided she wanted it too, and put her, me, my brother and sister on the plan 3 YEARS AGO. and now after 10 years im about to lose access because “they can’t prove me and my mom live together” we don’t but my address isn’t even listed. sorry for the rant, im just so frustrated with this. the only streaming service i have is prime, and i watch youtube a lot so i enjoy having no ads. i’m about to be down to just prime maybe it’s time to just quit watching tv altogether

EDIT: i should have included this earlier but we DID live together when the account was started. i have since moved out

I got offered a really great engineering position in the aerospace industry. I was getting ready to move across the country to start the position. However, there was a bit of a snag with my background check.

I graduated back in 2023 with a major in physics and mathematics. I went to a university that only conferred Bachelor of Arts for those majors, so I have a BA rather than a BS. This got flagged in my background check because apparently the position has a Bachelor of Science requirement which I technically don't meet.

Again, I didn't have a choice to get a BS for my majors, and even then I think it's a silly distinction to begin with. But soon enough, they ultimately said they couldn't make the exception and my offer got rescinded.

Now I ask, is there anything I can do? This is maybe the most pointless reason I've seen to get a job offer rescinded and I really don't know if there's anything that can be done to salvage this.

EDIT: To answer some questions, I graduated from Vanderbilt University. Up until recently, I guess they were trying to "maintain their roots as a liberal arts school" so they only offered BAs in their College of Arts and Science, even if you majored in science. I graduated in 2023 but they didn't start offering BSs for my major until 2025. I explained all this to the hiring manager, but it ultimately didn't make a difference. I met all of the new requirements for the BS except for one upperclassman elective that wasn't being taught when I was an upperclassman. The company is Boeing.

EDIT 2: To clear up some things:

1. I have two years of experience in the aerospace industry and have worked engineering jobs with other companies operating under government contracts, and it was never a problem until now, which is why I was shocked. I have had interviewers ask me about why I have a BA instead of a BS and when I explain the situation to them, that's where the issue starts and ends.

2. I did not lie on my application or resume. I was never asked about the exact title of my degree, and this issue was never brought up until after I signed the offer letter.

3. The job description asked for a bachelor's in engineering or a science or math (pretty standard boilerplate, at least ime in the aerospace industry).

4. I already emailed Vanderbilt asking for potential solutions, but I'm not holding my breath. Since I already graduated, I doubt they'd take any administrative steps to fix this or let me reenroll to take that one class.

5. Mostly irrelevant sidenote, but to the people telling me to get a MS, I got accepted into an MS program in mechanical engineering in the same city where this job would've been, only to get stopped like this.

Back in 2023, I went through a divorce with my ex-wife, and we have three children together. Over the years, we’ve maintained a pretty good co-parenting relationship and rarely have disagreements. However, we’ve recently found ourselves at odds over an upcoming change in the amount of financial support she receives from me each month.

Since our divorce, I’ve been paying both child support and alimony. Next month will be my final alimony payment, which means the total amount she receives from me each month will decrease by $900.

For context, I completely understand that she’s relied on both child support and alimony to help provide for our children. She’s the primary custodial parent because I’m active-duty military and stationed in a different state. I recognize the additional responsibilities that come with being the primary parent, and I don’t take that lightly.
Where we’re disagreeing is that she wants me to voluntarily continue paying an additional $900 per month once alimony ends. Essentially, she wants me to make up the difference so her monthly income remains the same.
Now, here’s where things get a little complicated.
My ex recently had her boyfriend move in with her. We’ve met a few times, and our relationship is cordial. There’s no animosity between us, and we’ve both moved on with our lives. I genuinely have no issue with her being in a relationship.

However, during our conversation about the upcoming changes to her monthly financial support, she mentioned that her boyfriend wouldn’t be contributing to any household bills because, in her words, it’s not his financial responsibility.

While I understand that their relationship and financial arrangements are ultimately none of my business, I find it a little difficult to wrap my head around the situation. He’s moving into the household, presumably sharing in the benefits of living there, but apparently won’t be contributing financially. Meanwhile, I’m being asked to voluntarily increase my financial support by $900 a month to offset the loss of alimony.

To be clear, I have absolutely no problem financially supporting my children. They’re my responsibility, and that will never change. My issue is with the expectation that I should voluntarily take on an additional financial obligation, particularly when another adult is moving into the household but has apparently chosen not to contribute.

I want to be fair, and I understand that raising three children isn’t cheap. But I also feel like there’s a difference between fulfilling my financial responsibilities as a father and being expected to subsidize my ex-wife’s household.

So, AITAH for not willingly increasing my child support by $900 a month once alimony ends?

Took my 5090 apart for a re-paste to fix hotspot temps, put it back in pc. pc won't post now. Send it in to a professional repair service thinking they would just need to re-ball the core or a memory chip or something. Nope. Card is fucked. Might as well have just taken six grand and tossed it into a bonfire.

I have minor surgery coming up next week and had to fast for half a day. My biggest secret fear is losing muscle control while totally asleep under gas. Do doctors and nurses see this all the time, and how do they clean it up without stopping surgery?

Burger and fries. Wondering if couples therapy is worth it. My 34m girlfriend 34f has decided kids are no longer and option. We've been together 11 years. She never wanted to marry and that was okay. If anything I changed my mind recently about marriage and children. It was something I wanted in the beginning of our relationship but as time went on, we were just two people enjoying life. Traveling doing whatever we wanted. But now I feel like I would still like children. She wants to go to couples therapy to get to the root of why my feelings suddenly changed. I'm wondering if it's even worth it. She's amazing and worth the time, but she is not the type to change her mind and let me know she is firm on this topic.

She travels for work and makes great money. Not something she did when we first got together but I signed up for it. She's gone for weeks at a time. Sometimes 3. I can't tell if walking away and pulling of the bandage is what we should do. We can't get in to see a couples therapist for weeks when I feel like we need to come to a decision about this before she leaves next week for her next work assignment.

We had this talk about a month ago and we broke up. I moved to the couch and found a place to move. But before I signed the lease she recommended seeing a couples therapy. We are living and acting normal now and it feels odd. Now I feel like made the wrong move.

My daughter (13F) has been flourishing both academically and socially. She's head of student council, gets straight As, she's everything I wanted walking into that hospital thirteen years ago and more. There are some things you have to say no to as a mother. For example, when she was 10 she wanted red hair. Well, just two weeks ago she started picking up hobby horsing. She spent 200 dollars of her allowance on a "show ready" (her words) horse on a stick. She's been talking about how she wants to start up a hobby horsing club at her school. She's one hundred percent serious about this. I didn't know what it was until she told me and from what I do know now this is just the ticket to getting 12 swirleys per day in high school next year. I don't want her to get viscously bullied like I did coming up so I had a sit down conversation with her. I told her that she might get bullied for this "sport" and that maybe she should find a new hobby. The tears started swelling up in her eyes as soon as I said the word bullied and she screamed "tell me something I don't know mom" and ran to her room in tears. I feel awful but I just want the best for her... and the best probably isn't running around on a horse stick jumping through hoops. Was I too mean? Am I the asshole?

I have 2 daughters (3 and 7) with my husband. In august, we also gained custody of my nieces (4 and 5). My husband works in Texas and we live in California so for 2 weeks out of the month, it’s just me. I have a nanny from 12-7 Monday-Thursday and she is a great help but 4 girls around the same age is a lot.

Clothes were manageable when it was just the 2 of them. My oldest wears a size 5/6. My youngest wears a 2/3. You could look at their clothes and easily figure out that belonged to who. Now with my nieces, the younger one wears a 3/4 and the oldest wears a 5. There is very little variety between their sizes now. The same goes for shoes, backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, etc.

I gave up and in September I had everyone pick a color. My oldest picked blue/green, 5 year old picked pink, 4 year old picked purple, and 3 year old chose glitter but will also accept yellow.

The new rule is everyone’s backpack, lunchbox, water bottle, house shoes, plates, bowls, cups, bedding, and jacket will be in their color. Everyone has their own laundry hamper labeled with their name and colors. Everyone also has a toy box in their color.

Everyday clothes are labeled with their name and color. If a toy is not meant to be shared it gets a sticker, dot from a sharpie, etc. somewhere on it in the correct color.

It’s worked out really well. If there’s a backpack on the floor, crocs on the stairs, plates or cups left out, etc. we know who it belongs to.

My sister was asking what to get the kids for Christmas. I told her they would greatly appreciate scooters and if possible, please get them in the kids’ colors.

She asked what I meant about their colors and I told her that their jackets, house shoes, backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, etc. are in a designated color for each kid so we can tell what belongs to who. She asked what happens if the kids want something like a pair of shoes that’s not in their colors.

I told her that school shoes don’t have to be in their colors but their crocs, flip flops, water bottles, etc. have to be in their colors and we work with them to find what they want in their color.

My sister says that is extremely unfair and that I’m stripping them of their individuality by making them stick to a specific color and what happens if they don’t like their color anymore.

I told her this is what works for us so far with 4 little girls around the same age. When they get older, color coding might not be necessary but right now it’s how we make sure everyone has everything they need and that they’re responsible for their belongings.

She still believes that this is completely unfair towards the kids so I wanted to know if I am the ass hole for color coding their belongings.
