On my iPhone, AutoMix is activated almost 24/7. I literally only turn it off when listening to new albums from artists I like. But when it first came out, it wasn't available on the Apple Music app on the Apple TV and couldn't be used via AirPlay.

It's been months since the official release and I still can't find a way to do this specifically on the Apple TV. Am I just dumb or this really not a thing still? Is it a hardware limitation or Apple just gatekeeping for no reason?

Me [M31] and my wife [F29] have been married for almost 4.5 years, together for almost 10.5 years.

Almost directly after we met, kids was almost an immediate discussion. She was adamant about wanting to wait until she was 30 and I was fine with that. It felt like a lifetime away. Through the years, our opinion on kids has always been, "We want a family, but if something happens where that becomes impossible, we won't cry about it.

For example, my wife says she wants kids but has "joked" repeatedly over the years about "just being the really cool aunt and uncle" to nieces and nephews. And I've always wanted a family, but it's never been my No. 1 dream to be a father.

Well, a lifetime later, and her thirties are almost here. And now that we are at the point of needing to make the decision, actually making it feels terrifying for both of us. Many of our recent discussions over the last year have been indecisive and really go nowhere. It's like neither of us want to say out loud, "Yes, let's have kids!" or "No, let's not have kids," so we keep pushing things off, almost hoping that the decision can be made for us which is, obviously, impossible.

And we're normally not an indecisive couple. Every decision in our relationship has been mostly simple and quick; moving in together, getting married, pets, where to live, etc. So this indecisiveness is new territory for us.

And when we talk to people about this, we get, "If you're not 1000% sure then don't have kids." This feels true, but I also don't believe that everyone who purposefully started a family had no reservations at all about having kids. But maybe they're right and it's not something I want to hear.

I've been thinking about going to therapy to have a professional help me sort through my thoughts. I can't tell if my indecisiveness is fear of having kids or not actually wanting kids at all.

Anyway, all that to say, are there any parents here who were on the fence about having kids? And, if so, what made you take the leap to being a parent? How did you know whether your fear of having kids was actually just that and not wanting kids at all?

Not email, my actual mailbox.

I live in Illinois, and every two weeks I get a solicitation in my mailbox that I don't need, care about or want. I throw them out immediately, but I would much rather them not come at all. Every time I see "[TOWN] Neighbor", I'm filled with an irrational amount of annoyance that I get these offers like clockwork that I've never wanted or signed up for.

Is there a link or email or form that I can fill out to get myself off a mailing list?

With the new threshold for receiving a 1099-NEC form being $2000, I'm wondering what's stopping someone from just not reporting that income if they don't meet that amount (besides morality, I suppose).

That's a big leap from the previous $600 limit, and I can think of a few scenarios where someone might have been over the previous threshold, but not the new one. And if the company never sends the IRS a 1099-NEC reporting that payment, and they also never send the non-employee one, then I guess I'm not really understanding how the IRS would know you were paid that money.

I understand that all income must be reported. I'm not suggesting someone should commit tax fraud. I'm just curious if this is really as much of an honor system as it seems like.
