2024.05.28 20:15 CapitalSpeaker5136 Possible Public School Misconduct?
Forgive me for any lack of clarity on my part, I have a headache as I write this.
During the last week of January, my school vice principals became aware of my familial situation, which at the time involved physical abuse. They decided not to inform me about a scheduled meeting with my mother, with whom I had a strained relationship. During the meeting, two vice principals, including my vice principal and my school program lead, did not allow me to speak and labeled me as disrespectful when I attempted to correct my mother’s false statements. This situation caused me to become visibly upset, though I was crying rather than shouting.
The vice principal then instructed the child and youth worker present to take my school supplies, including my personal laptop, notebooks, and textbooks, to prevent me from leaving as I expressed discomfort and wanted to leave. This happened just before the January end-of-semester exams, which left me significantly behind in my studies. The child and youth worker then took me to her office and locked me in, again to prevent me from leaving. She accused me of being manipulative and deceptive when my alarm went off during the meeting, and I denied having a phone. My mother had restricted my internet access, impacting my ability to complete schoolwork and putting me behind my peers. This is why I had originally purchased a phone for myself; to complete school work. The child and youth worker was aware of this. After being released, I chose not to engage with them further until recently. I did not record the meeting.
On May 27, 2024, a teacher in class made a joking comment about giving us all "S" for behavioral skills on our report cards due to excessive phone use, and mentioned that she had taken pictures of a male student (referred to as "Fred") on his phone months prior. I commented that I had spoken to Fred's mom recently, and she found it amusing. The teacher then loudly asked "shouldn't I be talking to my own parents?" despite knowing about my estrangement due to physical abuse. This caused an audible reaction from the class, who found it inappropriate.
I reported this to my vice principal, who invited the social worker. They dismissed it as banter, suggesting that I had opened myself to such comments when I spoke to Fred's mom's amusement and that the teacher might feel uncomfortable around me in the future. The exact wording was "She might feel like she has to walk on eggshells going forward." They attributed my discomfort to my broader situation rather than the teacher’s comment and suggested I should see a therapist as my reaction was unwarranted and I should have addressed it with the teacher first. The vice principal remarked that my crying was manipulative and that if the issue were urgent, I would have reported it earlier. The meeting was at 9:20 AM. I had initially sought to speak to her at 8:20 AM but was told she was already in a meeting and that she would call me down when she was free. For reference, first period starts at 8:22 AM. She offered to facilitate a meeting between me and the teacher the next morning. I did not record this meeting but plan to record the next one.
How would one best go about this going foreward?
My specific questions are:
Did the school violate the Child and Family Services Act by failing to take appropriate protective measures after knowing about my abuse? Was it legal for the school to arrange a meeting with my mother without informing me, considering the abusive context?
Did the school have the authority to confiscate my personal laptop, notebooks, and textbooks to prevent me from leaving in this context?
Was confining me in a room against my will an act of false imprisonment under the Criminal Code? Do I have a case without evidence on my part?
Did the teacher's comments about my family situation, and the administration's dismissive response, constitute harassment or discrimination under the Ontario Human Rights Code?
Due to the lack of evidence, for the most part, am I better off speaking to an out of school but within the board regulatory body, like the superintendent? Before pursuing legal avenues?
Is there any other legal angle I might be able to approach this from?

2024.05.28 20:10 iwasborninmybirthday Explicit Edits of Songs That Were Wiped Off the Internet
I recently had a nostalgic moment when Pink's first single "There You Go" came on my playlist. I remember distinctly that she explicitly sings "'cause that love shit just ain't for me." However, when I listened on Spotify, the word "shit" was edited out. I checked on YouTube and Tidal as well, and it’s the same censored version everywhere. No matter where I looked on the internet—YouTube, Dailymotion, Amazon, you name it—I couldn't find the explicit version.
This got me thinking about other songs that seem to have had their explicit versions wiped from the internet. For instance, Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" used to have a version where she says the N-word, but now it’s nowhere to be found online. The explicit version now exist only as a remix.
Same goes out for Kelis’ (Caught Out There), some people recall that when she sings "Held You When You Were Sick Even…" then she mentioned something about oral sex. Yet, this version also seems to have disappeared.
Have any of you experienced this with other songs? Are there more examples of explicit versions of songs that have been completely wiped off the internet? It's a bit saddening to think about how these versions have seemingly vanished!

2024.05.28 20:09 DinoRoman Conspiracy theory: Elon went right wing for cyber truck.
 | I mean, I remember a time when he was goofy but overall liked on the internet. Slowly , and then kinda fastly, he went hard right. Free speech and Nazis allowed on Twitter yadda yadda. But think about who’s buying these things? Rich Elon loving republicans. Not all. Sure. But, just as Trump knew he had to run as a republican to win, Elon realized he had to go hard right to sell a cyber truck because he needs those people to love him as it will appeal to them. I don’t see many progressive people buying this so, step 1, show them you’re on their side and then step 2, offer them a truck. If Elon wasn’t the guy he is today I know a few people who wouldn’t have bought this thing. But because Elon is modern Elon, a friend of mine ( well classmate of mine whose gone full maga conspirian ) won’t shut up about how he preordered the truck , how he’s getting updates when he will get it, and how great Elon is for fighting “Woke”. It’s all gotta be linked and I know this truck couldn’t have taken that long to develop given all the issues but , the timeline checks out for idea - development - to today and shipping. submitted by DinoRoman to CyberStuck [link] [comments] |
2024.05.28 20:09 expunks A reminder that being human is your biggest advantage in the age of AI.
A lot of us see the writing on the wall with AI content on the internet, and especially on Youtube. There's already channels that are just ChatGPT scripts read by AI voices over AI images: A lot of these videos come off as extremely low effort, and immediately make me question how much research/opinion were actually been put in – or if the entire video was unknowingly plagiarized from somewhere else. I don't think I'm alone in immediately clicking "Don't Recommend" on these channels.
People are lamenting AI taking over, but I see Youtube as one instance where humans will always have an edge over AI. Mark my words, it will be a HUGE advantage to be showing your real face and talking with your real voice in the age of AI in the latter 2020's. People crave that companionship, that feeling of a friendly person that they tune into. AI doesn't – and can't – offer that to people. So be brave, embrace your imperfections, and put yourself out there! I would rather hear YOU tell me YOUR thoughts in YOUR voice than listen to an AI voice read a soulless ChatGPT script. Every single time.
Good luck with your YT journey!

2024.05.28 20:05 Curiousharsh95 Hey fellow reader, rest here and have a read to this fun introduction. Here’s some juice🧃
Honestly? I know posting this again and again on this sub is what I’ve been doing lately and I’m now kind of loosing hope. But even if someone still seems interested? I’ll post again!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful time.
Pls ignore if you want to ghost.
A little bit about myself- So basically I love movies, loves some good music, I read sometimes, I meditate, does workout, watches cartoons too sometimes(SpongeBob SquarePants & Adventure time are my favorites), Chainsaw man has been my favourite anime, recently finished berserk now reading the manga, kind of a foodie, can cook also & I have a huge collection of memes.
I’d really like make some friends here. I’d really love to have some deep,weird,funny conversations no matter what you’d like to talk about even if they’re nsfw. But would really love some real connections & I'm up for long term friendships.
Also last year got diagnosed with Tinnitus unfortunately.
Have been on a rough place mentally, so kind of knows what it feels like to be alone & the irony is that I’m still alone. But would love to have someone to talk to, to be there if someone needs or want to vent out. Still going through a very rough patch. But it’ll be fine. Can say I’ve changed but for good.
My hands made me popular- So I accidentally found about that theres a thing about hands people like? So I started posting from last year as people like my hands. Eventually people also started to catfish people around the internet using my hand pictures. Fixed that! But had to make a Tumblr account. So I mostly post there now. Honestly? From last year till now? I’ve discovered so many new things & yes most of them are nsfw. Currently active on Tumblr as I’m posting more of my hands there.
Kind of bad at conversations at first but once I understand the vibe of the person I’m talking to I try to match the vibe. Im a quick Lerner & a good listener too!
Yes! I’m a biker too!
I do have a doggo too, so I can like send u pictures of him. & yes, I’m a guy!
Also my chats here are messed up so if you want? do add me on discord or Snapchat.
It'll be all upto u that it's SFW or NSFW! But do just point it out. Cause it's important to know before a great start of our conversations also I'm like making NSFW reference jokes all the time & into NSFW big times. Currently practising SR and yeah it’s cool. But if you have a dirty mind? It’s a bonus cause I’m big times into nsfw and I’d love to be able to talk freely about anything.
Superpowers I have? Well I have a photographic memory, sometimes I can continue the dream I left of after waking up to to go pee and come back to sleep, my visualisation game is way too strong like if you tell me a story or an incident, I'm mentally there and could see it. I once did NoFap for 111 days.
Pros of having me as a friend? · I'm there for you whenever you want someone to talk to or vent to. · I barely judge anyone, so I just make sure if someone is comfortable around me. · I'm actually pretty good at giving some good advices. I've saved life's if u want know. · I'll send you memes everyday. Best ones. · I'm dominant person!
Cons of having me? · I send you memes everyday!
& if no one told you today, you’re really amazing/beautiful, you’re doing great! You got this! have a wonderful weekend & you’re not alone!
Let's see how many times I have to post such stuff to find a friend! Sigh
Since reddit is broken, add me on discord! Or telegram & Please wherever you add me or text me kindly give an introduction! And please don’t just send “Hi” or “Hello”. I’m putting much efforts to tell you so much so I’d like at least a little introduction of yours.
P.s. I have a humble request, if you’d ghost me after just having a conversation once, then please don’t text. It hurts when you’ve been ghosted while u had a conversation with a person and you plan to talk about more stuff but you’re ghosted! It’s just stupid.
Also! I'm straight. So freaky guys! Just no please. 🤦🏻♂️
Sorry if I didn't respond to your message, my reddit chats are going bonkers lately! Kindly add me on discord.
Sorry for a really long text! Here’s a Doggo u can pat 🐶

2024.05.28 20:03 LoudFreedom9100 Esim issue with activating iMessage and FaceTime
 | So this is a breakdown of a bit of an issue and I need your help. I recently switched to eSIM and by doing so, I lost my iMessage capability. submitted by LoudFreedom9100 to iphone [link] [comments] So first, a bit of support to anyone having issues with iMessage. Always make sure that your phone is connected to the internet, and that if you have a prepaid plan, that it is loaded with airtime. Make sure that your phone number is displayed under Settings > Phone > My Number. I kid you not your iMessage will activate within an hour. My issue comes in where I can’t input my phone number in the phone settings, hence iMessage is not able to verify my number. I have attached screenshots. Note how there’s an arrow showing that I can edit my secondary sim number but I can’t edit my primary sim number. If anyone can help me with this I’ll greatly appreciate |
2024.05.28 20:00 AntOutside5422 Which OT assessment for EI? PDMS-3 or Bayley-4?
I’m a new grad about to start my first job in EI in SC (birth-3). I mostly used the PDMS-2 for this population in my outpatient peds rotation.
I have not used the PDMS-3 yet and have heard really mixed results. Some feedback I’ve gotten include: difficult to administer without wifi/internet, very difficult test items, and some kids not qualifying that should.
My company also has the Bayley-4 as an approved assessment. I presented on this one in OT school, but have never administered it in practice. It seems like a lot of pieces to keep up with, and I’m not sure which test kit I should purchase from Pearson.
Also, I am responsible for purchasing my assessment tool. I’m also in the middle of planning my wedding and funds are low lol
—> Which one should I choose? PDMS-3, Bayley-4, or a different assessment? I can’t use the DAYC, it’s not approved by my company.

2024.05.28 19:56 LokRox Laptop suggestions
Hey am planning to get a new laptop for my dad and what he mostly does is browsing the internet and probably watch a lot of YouTube. And he’s always wanted to get one with a huge display (>15”) and awesome resolution. I’ve been using MacBook Pro M1 Pro for almost two years now so I think it’d be great if I could get him a windows laptop that has way better performance and battery life than this. Ive been hearing a lot about the Snapdragon X elite next gen laptops (I almost preordered Samsung Galaxy4 Edge), so I’m pretty confused if I should just get it or go ahead with intel laptops. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

2024.05.28 19:54 Puzzled-Excitement71 Thinking About Tattoo Removal/Tattoo Regret
 | I got this huge chest piece at 21. While I think it’s a very well-done tattoo, and the artist was great, it’s been a few years and I don’t align with it anymore. Even when I first got it done, when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at the design vs. how the stencil looked. I originally wanted a smaller, more symmetrical design and wish she had chosen more toned-down colors. But I rolled with it anyways. submitted by Puzzled-Excitement71 to TattooRegret [link] [comments] It makes me anxious and uncomfortable and I wear clothing to cover my chest. I hate the way the leaves peak out over my shirt necklines. It makes me self conscious. I keep looking back at old pictures of my bare chest and wishing I could have stopped myself. I’ve gotten a quote from Removery just about at $4k. Holy shit, that’s sooooo much moneyyyyyyy. I am terrified the artist mixed whites in the colors and I’ll get a bunch of oxidation spots. But I want to feel great showing off my chest again. Would removing just 3 of the upper leaves to make it more symmetrical rather than the entire thing be worth it? I feel a lot of shame and guilt with how much this has weighed on my mental health. I know it’s not a bad tattoo, and I am lucky in that aspect. I have so many tattoos and this is the only one making me feel uncomfortable with myself. I don’t even know why I’m crying to the internet, but I know there are others in the same boat. Once I move forward with the removal, I’ll be sure to update. Any words of encouragement or peace would be greatly appreciated. |

I hope I am able to explain this well. submitted by weirderone to askaplumber [link] [comments] Our kitchen faucet isn’t fancy but it is new (about 8 months old) and I believe it’s a Peerless brand single handle faucet, or something similar and cheap. Yesterday I noticed when moving the spout to the other side of the sink, the entire handle moved with it. I also noticed all the water lines rotate with it as well. I’m unsure if it’s normal for the lines to move with the spout but the handle is definitely supposed to stay in place. My boyfriend didn’t notice anything loose when inspecting the screws and such, but he is not an expert so he may not have checked the right things. We do live in an apartment, and before anyone asks I would really like to try and figure this out on our own if at all possible. We’ve lived here for many years and the maintenance folks are highly unreliable. I’ve had better success learning new things and doing it myself, which is what life is all about! I tried taking the best pictures of underneath as possible, apologies if they are of no help! |

Synopsis:
After meeting a flirty bookworm at the library, you invite them to have coffee at a shop down the street. They seem sweet at first, but it turns out they're a little obsessed with you. In the middle of the night, they break into your home with the intent to sleep with you.
Script Below:
Hey! Do you have a minute? I’d really like to talk to you.
…
Thanks. You know, I come to this library pretty regularly. But this is my first time seeing you. You’re kind of cute, so I just had to say hi.
…
I’m not trying to hit on you, I was just trying to make conversation. Sorry, I’m not really good at that. Here, let me change the topic. What books are you picking up?
…
Science fiction? Ohh, I can talk about that stuff all day. At my house, I keep a huge library filled with basically every genre, but science fiction has gotta be my favorite.
…
You’re picking up some manga too? I think we can get along just fine. We should sit at a table — I think standing at this library is kind of awkward, don’t you think?
…
Yeah, it’s just that I’m not used to standing and talking. Usually I’m texting people online or watching anime, so this is really out of my comfort zone. *chuckles*
…
No, I’m not an otaku. Or, at least I don’t think I am.
…
Well, let me think. Otakus are typically people who watch a lot of anime, manga, and games. It’s usually all stuff online, but it can be physical media too. It’s especially for people who are at least partially obsessed, and mainly for those who are from Japan. The term was coined in 1983, and…
…
What? I memorized the whole thing from Wikipedia. But like I said, I’m not an otaku. Maybe I’m a weeb, I dunno.
…
*scoffs* Of course there’s a difference between being an otaku and a weeb. I’ll explain it to you later. First, I’d like to get to know you. What brings you to this library?
…
“Just books?” But, you don’t even consider the coffee shop down the street? I love the pastries there. I always order and have it delivered though, I’ve never actually been inside. Talking to random people is just a pain.
…
I know that’s a little ironic since I just met you, but there’s a huge difference between talking to one normal person versus talking to a cashier. It’s like a boss battle. Actually, speaking of boss battles, I really wanted to hop on Elden Ring. God, I miss my house, and it’s only been like 15 minutes since I got here.
…
Sorry, I’m rambling. Anyway, like I said, the coffee shop. You’re not even gonna consider it?
…
What? I can't go in there today, I’d die. Or, maybe not die, but like, crumble emotionally. Which is just as bad, mind you.
…
When you put it like that, then it’s kind of tempting. Alright, I’ll come, but you’re paying for everything. Finish up renting these books then I’ll follow you.
…
(Listener and speaker go to a coffee shop)
*Laughter* Oh my god, and that’s why I love rom-coms. The writing is great, the characters are really cheesy, and the whole thing’s just perfect. I’m definitely going to pick that one up, I’m grateful you recommended that to me.
…
*sigh* I still cannot believe that I’m in this shop. I’ve always been hiding from it, like the cashier’s gonna eat me alive if I enter. But it’s really not too bad.
…
I’m forgetting something? Like what?
…
Oh, right. Thanks for convincing me to enter. You should be thanking me too, you know? You wouldn’t have known about this place if I didn’t tell you the best coffee in town is made here.
…
Mhm. You’re welcome.
…
Nah, there’s not a lot of special places like this in town. From what I researched it’s been around since the 1800s, family owned and managed, and everything produced is made from scratch. It’s honestly kind of sweet. When you walk in it’s like a mini museum, then they hit you with that smell of coffee beans and buns and donuts.
…
Yeah, of course I did research on this place. I do research on everything I do. Everyone I meet, as well.
…
Hm? That isn’t creepy at all. I’m just a bit of a scholar, y’know?
…
Anyway, I’ve studied this town for the longest time. Ever since I moved here. On the surface, you’d think nothing’s changed, but it’s a pretty developing place. They’re gonna build a park a few miles down from here, for example, but that’s minor stuff. There’s new people moving in, which is always nice to jot down, and the tourists are pretty interesting to research too. I had a lot of fun looking at your file, so much that I had to greet you at least once.
…
No, I’m not the FBI, what makes you say that? Like I said, I’m a bit of a scholar. And scholars typically do their homework. *chuckles*
…
You think my laugh is cute..? I, well, uh, thank you. I’m not really used to compliments aside from ones I get online, but this was nice to hear.
…
Hey, so when I was looking over your file earlier this morning, I couldn’t find your address. Couldn’t find it for the life of me — it honestly pissed me off, since I really have everything except that, which is so weird. So, forgive me for being a little forward about asking, but can I have your address? I’d love to fill out my file completely. Having notes on you is really giving me a shot of dopamine.
…
Oh, I’m sorry. That was way too invasive. Let me start over: since we’re friends now, and friends hang out together, it would be really helpful if I had your address.
…
You’re not gonna give it to me? I see.
…
That’s perfectly fine, nope. You want your privacy respected, I think that’s very reasonable and fair.
…
You’re like, perfectly fine if I call one of your family members for it though, right? Or a friend?
…
“No” to that, too? You’re really protective of your house, aren’t you? You’re playing hard to get.
…
I’m… scaring you? Shit. Shit, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. It’s just, I can’t remember the last time I was interested in someone. And you’re so kind to almost a complete stranger. I didn’t mean to come off as creepy or anything. I’m not good with words. It’s really an accident.
…
Please don’t be upset with me. I care about your feelings. Can you accept my apology? I promise to not ask for your address again.
…
Okay, good. As long as you don’t hate me.
…
Let’s change the subject. Earlier I told you that there’s a difference between being an otaku and being a weeb. And as I also told you, I’m not much of either. Maybe a little bit of weeb, but I don’t like being called that, even if it’s true.
…
The thing about otakus and weebs is their amount of dedication, basically. Otakus are a niche variety of nerd, and weebs are a broader term for people who are obsessed with Japanese culture. These days, they basically mean the same thing, but if you’re a nerd you’ll probably notice the difference. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I get called a shut-in, though.
*slightly annoyed* I go outside every three weeks. That doesn’t make me a shut-in. If you’re gonna insult someone online, at least get your facts straight. Ugh.
…
Huh? You like when I’m ranting like a geek about stuff? Well, good. As long as you’re not upset from earlier. I’m glad I could cheer you up.
…
Look, I should really get going, but I’m happy I met you today. I’ll check out that rom-com you recommended too. It’ll definitely be on my watchlist. I, uh, already have your number, so I’ll just give you a call if you’re cool with it. No need to ask or anything. See you later.
(Some time passes, and the listener is now in their bed. The speaker can be heard opening the bedroom door)
Hm…
…
Ah! You’re awake? It’s midnight, you should be asleep.
…
Wait, wait, wait! Don’t call the cops… I wanted to cuddle with you.
…
I’m not crazy! Or, I don’t think I am… Maybe I took that rom-com you sent me too seriously. That scene you mentioned where that girl sneaks into her partner’s bed was really cute. It made me want to recreate it once I saw the episode.
…
How did I get your address?
*embarrassed* Fuck, I really didn’t wanna answer that question. You were supposed to be asleep!
…
Okay, okay, I owe you an explanation. I did some more digging even after telling you I’d back off earlier. Then, I found it and it turns out you’re only a few blocks down. Everything’s available on the internet, you know. It would be embarrassing for someone like me to not find your address.
…
Yeah, I know I lied to you. I couldn’t help myself. You are just so irresistible. I liked you when I didn’t know a thing about you, and now I like you even more that I know some stuff about you.
…
Look, I’m not a creep. I’m not gonna tie you up or chain you to the bed or do something funny with your corpse in the name of love. I just really wanted to cuddle with you. I didn’t bring any rope or handcuffs, so you can trust me.
…
Alright fine, maybe you can’t trust me. I’m a stalker and a big scary person and whatever you think I am. But please. I’ve literally never cuddled with someone. And I want to do it with you. Since you’re the only person I’ve met who’s even remotely interested in a nerd like me. Give me a chance.
…
Seriously? Thank you. You won’t regret this at all.
(Blanket sfx)
…
You’re really warm. Can I… come a little closer to you?
…
Mm… I see why you have the AC on. You’re like a furnace.
…
You can be the big spoon, I like it like this.
(Breathing sfx)
…
Is it weird to say I love you?
…
Yeah, I thought so. *chuckles*
…
I think that we should do this more often. Maybe less of the “sneaking in” part, though.
…
Oh? You liked it? Maybe next time I’ll tie you up, then?
…
*whisper* You won’t even get a chance to react. *chuckles*
…
But, seriously. I wanna go on dates with you. Normal ones, and maybe something like this. As long as you’re into it.
…
We can go on one tomorrow? I think I love you a little more now. I can’t wait for morning…

2024.05.28 19:50 TheExecTech Windows 11 opens more windows into your personal life.
https://www.techradar.com/news/is-windows-11-spying-on-you-new-report-details-eye-opening-levels-of-telemetry
Neowin spotted that The PC Security Channel uploaded a YouTube video showing an experiment where they took a brand new Windows 11 laptop booting up for the first time, and monitored what data it was sending online using the Wireshark network analysis tool.
For comparison, a Windows XP system was similarly monitored, with the YouTube channel noting this felt like an interesting choice just to see what has changed over the years in terms of telemetry and Microsoft’s monitoring of the user’s PC.
It turns out things are very different these days – to no one’s surprise, really – and even before you connect to the internet, or open an app, or do anything, Windows 11 is piping data here and there, to both Microsoft and third-party servers.
What kind of third-party servers? The PC Security Channel picks through a bunch which are related to adverts and marketing, essentially, and software (like antivirus for example, possibly relating to a trial version installed on the laptop). This happens with telemetry settings at the minimum available, by the way, so it’s the baseline activity for Windows 11 users.

2024.05.28 19:50 EffectiveUnion5245 AITA for getting mad at my coworker for reading my whiteboard
Hi guys... ok I looked on the internet for advice/perspective on this but hard to find anything regarding this specific situation so I turn to you guys. I am 27F, and a manager in my new place. It's only been a few weeks but there's this coworker, ~34M.
Some backstory is that this is my first time in a manager role, and I didn't quite register it fully in my head it's a proper thing. It was as if it hadn't fully clicked yet so my first two weeks was already tough because I was battling some severe mental challenges regarding this. (It didn't help that in my previous role, I had some bad experiences that really wrecked my confidence and mental health.)
Eventually, I found my footing and I think I am at a better place regarding my self-perception and my confidence. (Props to some supportive colleagues who have consistently reaffirmed my work.)
Anyway, where this coworker comes in (let's call him A), I am his manager but the team set-up is quite decentralized so everyone has a degree of good autonomy. I deal a lot more with operations so that my colleagues can focus on just delivery of their projects.
During my first week, he dishes out several statements which does not help with my shaky mental health at that point: - That I had been hired mainly for some key contacts I had. In my interview, I mentioned I had done work with these companies as it was brought up but I never said I had ownership over relationships with them. I was only a minion/lackey, and as such was never really anyone of import when we had meetings with those companies. This was a point of major stress when he made this statement, as this expectation had not been communicated to me by the hiring manager. - That he had been considered for the manager role, but he declined as it was not aligned with his plans currently.
Following this, there was nothing to note for a few weeks. But just when I thought everything was good, the incident that set me off happened. I am lucky to have my own office room, which has a whiteboard amongst other things.
Due to juggling multiple balls, I was trying out several methods to manage things on my plate. I found the best way was to write down the overarching buckets and some high level details on the whiteboard for an overall view. And then I would use a planner app to track the more detailed views of the different things.
A few days after I had set up this system, he happened to be wandering around the office space and he probably notices the whiteboard with the notes. Without so much as a knock or any such verbal check, he walks into my office.
(My door was open at that point, because I wanted to enforce a policy that the door would be closed for meetings and at.any other point, I am happy to talk. My other colleagues usually just sorta vibe check if I am open to talk all the same, which I appreciate and I also reciprocate in return when I go over to their rooms. But now after this s first incident, I keep my door closed.)
Once he walks in to my office, he walks right up to the whiteboard and starts reading out loud EVERY single thing I had written. He also interjects with questions on the items, and telling me what to do about some of them. I attempt to first ignore him, because I was so taken aback.
When I see this does not work, I give him short answers along the lines of "I am working on it, it's being dealt with etc", hoping that he would take the hint and shut up. He doesn't. He goes through my entire whiteboard and then finally leaves after.
I thought it would be a one-off, but it just happened again earlier this week. I had cleaned off some of my notes, and updated some other items. When I was packing up to go home, I noticed him standing outside my office room at first clearly trying to read my amended notes.
After two minutes, he just walks into my room again without any request. He proceeds to stand and stare at my notes (luckily no reading out loud), at which point, I got short with him demanding to know what he was doing. He said "oh I was just looking". I told him it was none of his business which he ignores and then proceeds to question me on some items.
I was already walking out of my room at this point, and I firmly told him as parting words that it was under my view and I was dealing with, don't worry. I haven't been in the office since that as I was on leave. However, I am going back in next week and I was thinking of having a chat with him to set my boundaries.
But this is where I wanted to get your thoughts, on whether AITA for getting mad at my colleague reading my whiteboard and grilling me on it?
(Thank you for listening to me/reading this long post)

I was only a minion/lackey, and as such was never really anyone of import when we had meetings with those companies. This was a point of major stress when he made this statement, as this expectation had not been communicated to me by the hiring manager. - That he had been considered for the manager role, but he declined as it was not aligned with his plans currently.
Following this, there was nothing to note for a few weeks. But just when I thought everything was good, the incident that set me off happened. I am lucky to have my own office room, which has a whiteboard amongst other things.
Due to juggling multiple balls, I was trying out several methods to manage things on my plate. I found the best way was to write down the overarching buckets and some high level details on the whiteboard for an overall view. And then I would use a planner app to track the more detailed views of the different things.
A few days after I had set up this system, he happened to be wandering around the office space and he probably notices the whiteboard with the notes. Without so much as a knock or any such verbal check, he walks into my office.
(My door was open at that point, because I wanted to enforce a policy that the door would be closed for meetings and at.any other point, I am happy to talk. My other colleagues usually just sorta vibe check if I am open to talk all the same, which I appreciate and I also reciprocate in return when I go over to their rooms. But now after this s first incident, I keep my door closed.)
Once he walks in to my office, he walks right up to the whiteboard and starts reading out loud EVERY single thing I had written. He also interjects with questions on the items, and telling me what to do about some of them. I attempt to first ignore him, because I was so taken aback.
When I see this does not work, I give him short answers along the lines of "I am working on it, it's being dealt with etc", hoping that he would take the hint and shut up. He doesn't. He goes through my entire whiteboard and then finally leaves after.
I thought it would be a one-off, but it just happened again earlier this week. I had cleaned off some of my notes, and updated some other items. When I was packing up to go home, I noticed him standing outside my office room at first clearly trying to read my amended notes.
After two minutes, he just walks into my room again without any request. He proceeds to stand and stare at my notes (luckily no reading out loud), at which point, I got short with him demanding to know what he was doing. He said "oh I was just looking". I told him it was none of his business which he ignores and then proceeds to question me on some items.
I was already walking out of my room at this point, and I firmly told him as parting words that it was under my view and I was dealing with, don't worry. I haven't been in the office since that as I was on leave. However, I am going back in next week and I was thinking of having a chat with him to set my boundaries.
But this is where I wanted to get your thoughts, on whether AITA for getting mad at my colleague reading my whiteboard and grilling me on it?

2024.05.28 19:47 couchpotatoxoxo Can my mom EVER change?
I am already going to therapy and recently only noticed how my mom is ruining my life since childhood. From one hand she loves me, from another she hates me a lot. She is always victim in everything.
One-two weeks she can be okay, we will not argue, but then another week she would go insanely mad just from simple things if i didnt hear from first time what she has said to me, or if i didnt hand my jacket straigt away. With all this i gotta say im 27(f), shes almost 60. Yes, i will move out, i didnt yet cause i was studying abroad for a bit and came back at the end of last year and i just gotta save up for a flat now and move.
Borderline for me was when she basically called me stupid for not getting into university in which i wanted to initially and praised my brother who just got his masters. She never used education to insult me before, but now she did it. She has said things like "you will di3 alone, no one will ever want you, when youll have kids theyll be born unwell (physically/mentally) and hate you like you hate me" I dont hate her, she just think i do when i argue with her and tell her off when she is treating me badly.
...I honestly dont know how there is any excuse for my mother to tell me these things to me. My biggest fear in life was and still is to di3 alone with no family of my own, so after hearing this i was crying a lot. She didnt even know this fear of mine cause I have never told her this, but it hit me hard.
Usually i let it go and dont even remember horrible things she has said. At the same time she "loves me" and is always trying to hug me and i resist that all the time. I just dont like her being affectionate with me since i was like a teenager. At this point I dont want to tell her that i have a boyfriend for 1.5 months already cause she will call me a slut/bitch. She calls me a s*ut/bi*ch for no reason on daily basis and if ill tell her about BF she will have a reason. She can be very vulgar. When i was like 20 or less, she said that i am "so nasty" cause i havent had s*x for a while, which was so disgusting to me.
Today, like an hour ago, she saw me speeding to my room when she was approaching kitchen and was talking to herself in the kitchen loudly things about HERself like "of course, run away from this fat bi*ch, you dont like to see my ugly face, maybe i should ha*g myself but wire will not hold such a fatas*, i should just take pills so you can be happy finally". I was speeding cause i was quickly going into kitchen half naked filling up water and didnt want her to see me like that. ☠️ She just came up with that from NOWHERE ☠️ And 10mins later she can act like nothing happened. And then change her behaviour again in a split second.
Last for now: she convinced my brother that i have schizophrenia. Spoiler alert, lol: I DON'T. Then i called her out on and later she "diagnosed" me saying that im sociopath. Also - im not. My therapist confirmed this. She is a paramedic but shes not mental health doctor, its so insane that she does this.
My brother is 25, he lost his job and moved in with us (he literally just got a new job and soon will move out again) but he is not getting ANY crap that im getting almost daily. He always comforts her so shes not shouting etc. When he comforts her, like today, she said "at least you are comforting me and care not like her". When i try to tell her about any topic that " this isnt too bad, it will pass" and ACTUALLY trying to comfort her, she shouts back that its all BS and things on specific topic will not get better etc. Its hard to comfort person who yells back that im talking bs when i try to make things better.
Has any of you experienced something similar with your parents? Has moving out of home to your own place changed their behaviour? How have you dealt with this?
TLDR: I dont know why my mom hates me. I feel like she is narcissist, from what i have read on internet (lol), she ticks all the boxes for this type of person. She is emotionally abusing me since i can remember myself. Can this change after i move out?

2024.05.28 19:44 longing_companion 38 [m4f] It’s getting old being this alone #Texas
I just want to find someone who likes me as much as I like them. I feel like I am always the on initiating conversation it gets tiring.
I’m looking for something real…I want to know who you really are and not some internet version of you, I want to know YOU. I know it’s hard to open up to people you don’t know, but I see it the opposite way. I don’t know you so it is easy for me to be my true self and be completely open. And if you like what you see then it has to be real right?
I’m looking for someone who can talk through out the day, text, calls, voice chats, video chats, smoke signals, Morse code…communication is a very important thing to me and should be to you.
The number one thing im attracted to is personality, if you can make me laugh or have an amazing sense of humor, we will get along very well.
A little about me: 5’8”, Hispanic, dad bod, has a kid, into nerdy stuff, musician, wfh, available.
If you got this far, put your favorite food in your first message.
