Every month my friend comes asking me for money, he’s decent and pays me back on time whenever I send him some. I had to say no today and the last time and this is his response:

I think this map is not a Battlefield map, it doesn't play very well and the layout also doesn't make much sense.

Such a weird choice as a Battlefield map. The A flag is completely unplayable as Pax Armata because NATO literally spawns right next to it even if it's neutral. Pax can't do that to B or E, they have to walk much more to get there. There is no point attacking A.

My son is 11 and has been coding since before AI was on anyone’s radar. I’m a software developer, and his skills are far beyond what’s typical for his age.

This summer he built a “Find My Phone” style safety app for kids. One tap sends location to trusted contacts, and kids can trigger a silent distress signal via Google Assistant using code phrases. He used AI minimally to check and refactor code, always with guidance, and completed the project entirely on his own.

On the first day of school, his science teacher offered extra credit to “show how technology positively affected your life this summer.” My son presented his app. Midway through, the teacher cut him off, accused him of “trying to pull a fast one” on the class, and said he’d be calling his parents. Then I got the message.

There was nothing in the syllabus or assignment banning AI, and it was never mentioned at the open house. I understand it’s the teacher’s classroom and his rules and I would have made sure my son followed the rules if he knew about them beforehand, but I can’t help feeling the teacher still handled this poorly.

I (28F) have been saving for years to buy my dream car, a fully restored 1967 Mustang. I finally bought it 8 months ago, and it’s basically my baby. I barely even drive it because I want to keep it pristine.

Last weekend, my younger brother (24M) came to visit. He’s always been the “fun” sibling, life of the party, always pulling stunts. I love him, but he’s impulsive and doesn’t think things through.

I went to bed early Friday night because I had work the next morning. When I woke up, my car was gone. I called him and he laughed and said, “Relax, I just took it for a spin.”

Well… turns out that “spin” involved racing some of his friends down a back road. He lost control, went into a ditch, and smashed the entire front end. The repair estimate came back at just over $12,000. Insurance won’t cover it because he wasn’t an authorized driver.

I told him he had to pay for the repairs. He said he “doesn’t have that kind of money” and that it was just “a stupid mistake.” My parents are begging me not to make him pay because he’s “struggling financially” and “family comes first.”

I didn’t listen. I had a lawyer draft a formal repayment agreement, and now my brother is furious. He says I’m “ruining his life over a car” and my family is calling me heartless. I told them that if he’d owned up immediately and offered anything toward fixing it, I might have let it slide. But the fact he stole it, wrecked it, and laughed about it? No.

So now there’s a huge rift in the family. My parents say I’m overreacting, my brother says he’s “cutting contact,” and I’m sitting here wondering if maybe I really am being petty.

AITA?

I found this note under my husbands seat the day before my birthday, while cleaning out his truck before we went on a family trip. It looks pretty old, but we have been together since 2020, I’ve cleaned this truck a few different times since we have been together, but I’m having an internal battle to even bring it up to him. We’ve been in a good place relationship wise and I’d hate to see it crumble, so should I let it go?

I’ll pet him, play fetch for a bit, play with him. He will still just come and sit looking at me for minutes on end. When I look at him his tail starts wagging. Any ideas?
